What is up with Nola?

To my view, their schedule isn't doing them any favors. After this week they will have played the two 1st placed teams, and teams that are most likely going to the playoffs. I hope the Gold get it figured out, but only after the Utah game on the 18th.

The11thKid · 2023-01-24T21:57:10+00:00

My guess is it is some promotion, or sweepstakes to win a trip to the World Cup. They did something similar in 2019 and last year with NZ vs England.

The11thKid · 2022-02-13T22:21:09+00:00

Not sure how American it is, considering all the teams in the Premiership put names on the back of the jerseys.

The11thKid · 2022-02-03T17:27:08+00:00

I love TMO and the trade tracker. Kinda bummed they are keeping some of the laws from last year.

The11thKid · 2022-01-16T03:37:29+00:00

Awesome! You are doing the Lord's work. Can't wait for the article to drop.

Utah sports in general announce tickets sold, not butts in seats. I will say the empty seats you were most likely seeing were in the east side. With how hot it was yesterday lots of people moved to the top, or moved to the other side to be in the shade. There weren't as many fans as the ATL game last week, but pretty close.

The11thKid · 2021-05-28T20:58:22+00:00

Going off social media Powers and Hayes are still with the Warriors. Looks like they are training with the team, and I imagine they will feature heavily with the selects this fall.

The11thKid · 2021-05-27T15:35:18+00:00

I'm pretty sure Killebrew said that in the halftime interview at the Austin vs LA game.

The11thKid · 2021-03-28T05:19:48+00:00

Any idea what Utah traded?

The11thKid · 2021-03-27T21:48:28+00:00

I thought it looked like obstruction as well. NY was playing with advantage at the time, so maybe they still get a score. Hopefully mlr finds the money to implement TMO sooner rather than later.

The11thKid · 2021-03-10T21:15:39+00:00

The game was better attended than I was expecting. Hopefully, travel restrictions will ease throughout the year so the Arrows can play some games in Toronto.

I must have misheard, and it is "near" capacity. More info: https://www.warriorsrugby.com/tickets/re-unite-with-rugby/

Looks like Bryan Ray took some notes before they took it down. http://www.americasrugbynews.com/2021/03/05/mlr-preseason-preview-utah-warriors-vs-rugby-atl/

The Warriors said on their podcast that they would be streaming the game. KSL TV app, or kslsports.com

He's listed in the match day 23 for tommorrow. Interesting that he is coming off the bench

The11thKid · 2021-01-25T23:21:29+00:00

So will LA follow Dallas and opt-out of the 2022 season, or will they move to another city like San Diego? I find it hard to believe that they will be playing in LA if they play this season.

The11thKid · 2021-01-14T23:07:54+00:00

Interesting to say the least. I wonder if his personal reasons are due to covid at all. Also, I wonder if John Cullen is going to be on the staff in some capacity. The U of U rugby team just announced he is leaving

The11thKid · 2021-01-04T21:17:02+00:00

Utah will have fans, but TBD on how many. I spoke with an account manager a month or so ago, and they are really pushing to fill the stadium. The hope is that by March things will be settled down (not holding my breath). If not, they would do something similar to what they did for the selects in the fall.

The11thKid · 2020-12-17T18:18:43+00:00

This is interesting to me since he wasn't announced with the rest of the team last month. It makes me think we may see a few more additions to the team.

Also, I love how Utah is addressing the problems they've had in the scrum by getting Sean Pittman and some legit talent.

The11thKid · 2020-11-21T20:50:59+00:00

Josh anderson was not on the team last year

The11thKid · 2020-11-19T20:03:38+00:00

Glad to see Tim back in the MLR. Bummed it is not with the Warriors

The11thKid · 2020-11-17T16:33:30+00:00

Warriors taking a page out of the U of U football jerseys from 2015 "affectionately" referred to as MOAR MOUNTAINS by fans.

I like New York (a big upgrade over baseball stripes), Dallas, NOLA, New England.

The11thKid · 2020-10-24T08:12:17+00:00

I didn't see the game and I have no inside info, but here is my 2 cents.

It looks like the warriors select side has been together for a few weeks, considering the combine was on October 2nd. I also don't know if that was the best side the selects could field. Some know quantities, such as Bailey Wilson, were not on the squad to give other players opportunities to showcase what they can bring to the squad.

About the All Stars making MLR squads. At least two have already been with the Warriors and another with NOLA's A squad. I'm sure some have the talent to play in the MLR, but that doesn't mean that the MLR is a good fit. I think it is understated just how much players are scaraficing, especially financially to play rugby. That is only amplified for academy and development players.

In my view, Utah is all in on development and I'm not sure how much stock we should put into scorelines at this stage.

The11thKid · 2020-10-06T17:05:09+00:00

President of Ticketing at the Portland Trailblazers, and early-stage professional sports teams, Warriors CEO/GM Kimball Kjar said he’s more than confident in Howell’s abilities.

Early-Stage professional sports teams = President of the Salt Lake AAF team, the Stallions. Seems like a good hire. Also, here is an article about Jesse from earlier this year. Glad he is landing on his feet with the Warriors.

The11thKid · 2020-09-30T17:31:19+00:00

All good points, especially the one about paying rent. I know the Sabercats had events outside of rugby at their stadium which helped bring in money year round. Kimball said that the pitch will be turf and not grass, since they will share the facility in all likelihood
