Rabbitohs VS Storm (Part III):  It’s Kickoff Time!

Rabbitohs VS Storm (Part III): It’s Kickoff Time!

With the sweet strains of Glory Glory still echoing throughout ANZ Stadium, it was time for the Bunnies to avenge last night’s loss, as well as snap a lengthy losing streak against Melbourne.  The moment of time was about to reckon with the opening kickoff from the Storm. The opening kick flew across the field, cutting through the air, and landed into the arms...

How to See Sydney on the Cheap!

How to See Sydney on the Cheap!

HOW TO SEE SYDNEY ON THE CHEAP By Matt John Canty You can use lots of words to describe the city of Sydney: lively, beautiful, cultural, coastal, breathtaking, friendly, and of course, expensive!  Sydney is one of the priciest cities in Australia, if not the world, but this should not worry you if you are traveling on a budget, because there are countless things you...

Redfern Oval Part IV: Rabbitohs in the Rain

Redfern Oval Part IV: Rabbitohs in the Rain

I have to say that even in pouring rain with a sky of grey, Sydney is still a beautiful city.  A deluge of rain beating down on the pavement does not bring a bit of gloom to such a scenic city.  In fact, in such a dry country, rain is often looked at as a sign of good things to come.  During one of my visits to the Redfern Oval, I had a most fortunate encounter that...

Redfern Oval Part III: Souths Juniors in Action

After splurging on enough Souths gear that would make both Madge and Reggie red and green envy, I headed back to the oval for today’s match: a meeting of the Souths Juniors against a team from England.  I was really looking forward to seeing the game; I was in need of a win after seeing those accursed Roosters beat my Bunnies!  In short, I needed some kind of...

Redfern Oval Part I: The Ancestral Home of the Rabbitohs!

Having already immersed myself in the red and green choir of The Burrow at ANZ Stadium, I was already hankering to experience more of this wonderful sport sub-culture of Sydney.  The next morning after the Rd. 26 match, I jumped further down the rabbit hole and into the wonderland that is the Redfern Oval.  A place so beloved and revered by every Rabbitohs fan, some...

Rabbitohs VS Storm Part II: Big Crowds, Bigger Bunny!

Rabbitohs VS Storm Part II: Big Crowds, Bigger Bunny!

Moments after meeting Mario Fenech outside ANZ Stadium, I was practically on cloud nine!  Little did I know that I’d be on cloud, uh, I wanna say nine and-a-half?  Ten, perhaps?  Anyhoo, I went right back to drinking and shmoozing it up with my bunny brethren.  I immediately went around showing everyone the latest autograph addition to my poster.  Normally, I...

Rabbitohs VS Storm Part I: Meeting the Maltese Falcon

Rabbitohs VS Storm Part I: Meeting the Maltese Falcon

It had been one week since my inaugural visit to ANZ Stadium, where I saw my very first rugby league match between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Sydney Roosters.  It was the deciding Minor Premiership, and the atmosphere was nothing short of electric.  Sadly, the match did not go the way I wanted it, and I had to endure a lengthy train ride back to Town Hall...
