Won't be a problem. No-one's gotten back to me about a potential sponsorship of unknown amounts for an up and coming player... guess we have enough money now!
You should call Puppi Lovers and ask them who their contact was.

Either that or order an Ikavalu face cake and ask to see the manager when you pick it up.

Would Google their number but it's way to risky

From NRL website due to Warriors v Titans being postponed today -

Due to the schedule change, the Sharks-Bulldogs match at PointsBet Stadium, originally scheduled for 7pm AEDT on Monday, will now be shifted to 6pm AEDT Monday.

The NRL said player safety would always be a priority in the current conditions, as well as the safety of supporters and staff. The NRL thanked the Clubs and the Broadcasters for the cooperation regarding the schedule changes.

6pm on a Monday is not a great time in peak hours around the area of Pointsbet & will probably will need wetsuit & flippers to get there anyway .

It will be as wet as. Not great conditions to put out our best squad, but I guess we have to.
As they say mate, the same conditions for both sides. But it would be more to see how we'd go with some faster, more expansive footy

Yes mate. I was thinking more about injuries. I’d almost be tempted to play the top squad for about 30 minutes and then get them the hell outa there!

Tend to agree. 30 mins might even be too long As I’m not sure how much benefit there is in playing in water logged conditions.
Maybe a bit of match fitness, but is the risk worth the likelihood of only minimal gains (If any) from a trial match?

Actually the first 10-15 mins usually are pretty brutal as everyone is fresh. I would start with the b team, then switch to the a team between mins 15-40 and play the second half with the b team.

Just wanted to highlight that the Trial Game Time Change news item yesterday on the Sharks website includes details of how the Sharks are supporting the Tongan Relief appeal with a very tangible approach following impact of the recent tsunami .

Donations can be may online via the link shown in the article or at the trial game tomorrow night.

Understand that many are currently impacted by floods in Aust & may need some assistance but good if we can also help those doing it tough in Tonga now that the tsunami is already off the front pages here.
