A game that’s worth a try
Having spent many years living in Canberra before moving to Sydney, Outsider was excited that the Canberra Raiders made the final against the Sydney Roosters and watched the game from his man cave.
The fact his corporate home of Martin Place was abuzz with an NRL Fan Fest in the days before certainly helped him get in the mood for the grand final. Among the activities available were a dive try foam pit, an NRL reaction test and a skills session with various players.
As a financial services hub, Martin Place is home to, among others, Challenger, Commonwealth Bank, Macquarie, and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, although none of them were spotted on the ground.
This was a shame as, although APRA has been strong on tackling regulation, Outsider would have paid good money to see how it fared tackling the professional NRL players.
Having played rugby in his distant youth, Outsider felt he would have been up to the challenge but decided not to embarrass the professional players in case he was scouted.
Whatever would Money Management have done without him!
