Bloody AFEL, they really are a piece of work.
Trying to kill the membership base we have up there. Not a major request I'd thought. Thanks AFEL.Quote:

Good point. They need to keep changing the opposition so they're not used to the unique conditionsQuote:

I'm glad we are not playing there this year given it would have been round 1 in March. Climate is nice in July but it will be damn hot and humid even in late March and therefore a real chance of stuffing our players for weeks after.
I love Cairns but I'm glad we aren't plying there in March. That's insane.
Cairns was always going to be a temporary thing. Glad it's over and done with.
Not to sure the players would be to upset in not playing up there in March . Still pretty humid, I’d imagine
