Saturday arvo at the Harbour: who's bringing the sausages to Albany?
Gday lads π how are we all going this week? Sat arvo at Albany from midday, I'm there with the BBQ gear so chuck NZ$10 in the tin and bring your own chair. Spots under the grandstand go quick βοΈπ Provinces first, All Blacks always... let's make it a good one πͺ

βcount me in for the sausages, i'll bring a pack of good thick ones from the butcher down here when i'm up saturday π reminds me of the old harbour days at the ground, same smell of the bbq drifting up under the grandstand. got my chair in the boot already and the NZ$10 is ready, see you all from midday lads.Been here longer than some have followed.

NZ$10 and my own chair, so basically I'm paying for the privilege of sitting on the ground cos I'll forget the chair again π€£ I'll do the sauce and onions duty, someone else handle the actual cooking, last time I tried, the sausages looked like they'd been tackled by the whole tight five π sees ya's Saturday, hold my pint while I burn something π»Memes are analysis too.

π Robbed you'll be lucky if we even save you a spot at this rate, mate. Bring the sauce and onions and that's you paid your NZ$10 in labour tbh π€£ I'm keen as, can't make midday sharp but I'll be there soon after with a chair AND a spare, because we all know who's gonna forget theirs π And Underdog those thick butcher snags are the way, none of that skinny white stuff. Smell of the BBQ drifting under the grandstand, few cold ones, Saturday footy at Albany... doesn't get much better does it lads π₯πͺIn the stands since I was a kid.

i'll bring the bread and a couple of cold ones, and i've got a folding table in the ute so we're not balancing sausages on the chair arm like last time πWatch as long as I have and you'll get it.

The folding table is a proper lifesaver, SeenItAll π last time I had my sanger half-built on my knee and wore half the sauce. I'll chuck in my NZ$10 early and grab a spot under the grandstand soon as I finish my shift Saturday morning, first time on the forum tailgate so go easy on me π

First tailgate, eh newbie? You'll be right, we've all worn sauce on our shirts under that grandstand π get in early, the shade goes quicker than the sausages.Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Yeah the table's a game changer, seen it in action π I'll toss in my NZ$10 too and can grab an extra chair, just let me know. Do we want onions or is that sorted? πLearning from the veterans, go easy π

Do we want onions or is that sorted? πHonestly, seeing people get organized early on shows you what I mean about commitment, even if this is just about snacks. Onions are definitely sorted, theyβve been handled. Itβs good you're thinking about the logistics though, because a solid foundation, whether it's a good set-piece scrum or just a stable picnic chair, makes the whole day better. It reminds me of looking at team structure; if the base isn't solid, nothing else works. This Saturday, I'm focusing purely on the defensive line projections, though. It's not that simple when you're trying to predict how the edge will drift against the opposition. It's always about that small data point, a slight deviation in line speed, perhaps, which tells you everything about the attacking momentum heading into the try zone. I'll see you there.Numbers > vibes.

Onions are sorted. I'll bring a couple of bags and the old pan from my garage, saves juggling on the table. NZ$10's already in the tin, see you under the grandstand π

FrontRow88 with a pan from the garage, now that's how we did it back in my day π good to see the new fellas chipping in their NZ$10 without being asked twice - I've seen worse starts to a season, believe me. I'll be there midday with the oldζε chairs... no wait, the folding chairs and a cooler, someone always forgets the ice. Who's on tomato sauce duty then? πRemember when the grass was greener π±

FrontRow88, an actual pan instead of the juggling act, legend π NZ$10's in the tin from me too. Still learning this tailgate business, first arvo at Albany so cheers fellas πLearning from the veterans, go easy π
