Round 19 Question

[Sabu_2008]

The old man and I are looking at flying over the ditch for Origin 3. A quick question regarding the footy on the friday night after Origin, Round 19, is this a Double Header at Suncorp? Brisbane are listed to face Souths at 6:40pm; the Bulldogs scheduled to play a home game against the Titans two hours later. If so...awesome weekend of footy! All help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes it is a double header.

Correct. There's been a thread discussing it already Sabu, but basically if you buy a ticket you get to watch both games. Same price as a normal Broncos home game, and you get to watch 2!

And QLD is better than NZ!

WIN, WIN, WIN!

Disagree. NZ is the best place in the world. Unless you're pregnant....

Women who get pregnant while in New Zealand on temporary residency permits are being told to leave the country to have their babies because of a shortage of maternity services.

The women are being told they cannot give birth here even if they are prepared to pay the full medical and maternity care costs.

Immigration New Zealand has told one pregnant woman that - despite her financial stability - she would "be putting an additional strain on our already short services", which the department claimed were "stretched in most areas of the country".

Cheers for the quick replies guys. Great concept btw.

 

[Coxy]

You can thank the Dullbogs for it. They wanted to shift their game vs Titans to Suncorp Stadium, and suggested the idea of a double header.

Disagree. NZ is not the best place in th world. Here are some major issues.

- Weather
- Sod ordinary beer
- Their good rum is easily purchased in Australia anyway
- No Suncorp Stadium
- Terrible Dollar
- Shitty International Airports (hard to get out of the joint!)
- Too many moutains
- Too many roads
- South Auckland
- Expensive airfares on old dodgy aircraft
- Their cops look dumb and don't wear guns

It's deadset like comparing NZ to Au... oh wait. QLD > NZ.

 

[Coxy]

You forgot earthquakes.

 

[Nashy]

Meh. Only pussies are scared by them.

 

[Hamm.0]

They got all the bros too!

oh wait, we got more at GC and Bondi...

 

[Nashy]

HEEEY BREW!

 

[Fozz]

Not in those shoes, cuz.

They are dumb, which is the reason they dont have guns.

The good Australian beers is owned by us anyway

Too many moutains

Gotta keep that holiday road accident toll ticking over.

Expensive airfares on old dodgy aircraft

It costs more to leave Australia then it does New Zealand, and Air NZ > Quantas anyday of the week. But Emirates shits all over both of them.

South Auckland

We havent had a murder in like 2 weeks.

Weather

Queensland gets one little splash of rain and all of a sudden its the worst flood in a century.

No Suncorp Stadium

Yeah I'll give you that one ;-)

I think you'll find Lion Nathan now days is more Australian. They employ more Aussies than Kiwis, Stocks are higher in Aussie than Kiwi, Better beers brewed in Aussie than Kiwi.

AirNZ does shit over QANTAS any day, you're right. I'm talking domestic [icon_wink

Yet it rains there every second day. That's alright, when was the last time you guys had to deal with a real flood issue?
