Wait?
So that means that we can get in with our season pass, or am I misinterpreting what they're saying.

I can just see myself saying the entire time that I can go, but then something else will come up, and I'll have to go to that instead, haha.

I really hope we have some better results in the trials this year as we were very bad in last years trials. Now trial results don't really mean much because teams like to experiment a bit but our total lack of form in the trials ended up being a reflection of our entire season in 2010. I really hope we have a couple of wins this time, if nothing else just to give our boys some confidence going into round1.

That's how I read it.

How many Kiwi 1Eyed's do we have? Will be looking for a run-down!

I agree Jamesy, really important we get off to a good start this year. Everyone says you ignore trial form, but it actually does seem to prove a reasonable guide to at least the first half of the year.

Not always the case IEyed, i follow the 49ers in the NFL and they won all 4 trial games this season only to come out and lose first 5 games.

I would be happy just to see some coheshion and most of all a good work ethic.
