Ronseal - usual suspects who always give Australian rugby a bad rep.

You wouldn't get this at the Parramatta Two Blues!

“The punters have a social contract with us too, they have to do the right thing too,” Parsons said. “You come in, buy a beer and a pie, and you walk back. There’s nowhere to loiter in corridors or stand around the bars. We’ve got heaps of signage, hand sanitiser and rules in place. We’ve all met with council, we all have COVID protocols and everything is ticketed.”
Ehh yeah good luck with that.

If it's not effectively monitored what's the point,?

Anyone organising an event like this has a responsibility to ensure restrictions are enforced.

Love a bit of Shute down at Easts but not the wisest move here.

I have to laugh, I was fairly blase about the virus, though I did take every precaution, masks, distancing, washing hands etc.

After spending almost a month in intensive care, I am super cautious. Wouldn't wish it on anyone. I do wish people would take it seriously, 6 people died in my ward during the time I was there.

It's worse because of the location.

Mungos get (deserved) stick on here but the average fan of Rugby in Sydney fits the stereotype like a glove

A disgruntled local resident took photos of spectators standing close to each other at the match.
Dobber probably moved into the street recently, and now wants to shut down the rugby club that has been there for 120 years.

Typical entitlement generation behavior.

Amazing how authorities do give succour to these sorts of people (seems particularly acute in Sydney). Some old duffer bought a house opposite one of my frequent Paddington haunts and does nothing but put in baseless complaints to the license board, clearly trying to jeopardise the pub's license.

Should market the Finals as a "Shute Fight"...

Quite right, the dobber didn't pay millions to get into O'Halloran road to put up with common folk like that.
