Gone with the cricket ... now to the NRL, then again it is now Round 5 of the competition. There was a small mishap on my behalf of the first round game against the Broncos at Jubilee Oval. Security pulled me up and said I could not bring in my camera unless I had a media pass. I contacted the club and met their requirements to bring in a camera with a lens of no greater than 200mm and for non commercial use. I brought in my 70-200mm and I am not selling these photos or attempting to profit off the NRL.

So here we go ... Back to my normal seat on the northern end of Jubilee Oval, that's right not OKI .. not WIN nor is the oval called UOW !!! this was Gypsy's 250th NRL game and they are all for the RedV. Great effort for a champion player, an ornament to the game.

There is no Sam Burgess but I think this is the first time I have seen GI play at Kogarah in real life.

Most of the running of the game was on the other side of field, when I mean running I generally mean all the tries and action tended to be on the southern side of the ground, so there was not a great deal of pics to take but who cares ! the Red V won !! that's 5 in a row and hopefully this leads to a happy year !!
