Let’s be honest, it’s not NRL finals time if you’re not relentlessly sending messages in the group chat trying to figure out who’s keen to head to the games and sink a few bevvies. And yet, there’s always one. That one, fickle human who either can’t commit or just doesn’t seem keen on it at all.
WIN A DOUBLE PASS TO ANY NRL TELSTRA PREMIERSHIP FINALS SERIES 2018 GAME
It’s a sense of group chat betrayal – the likes of which you’ve never come across before, and the likes of which you pray each year you won’t encounter again. The mate who simply will not go to the footy with you.
They come up with a bunch of excuses, each dodgier than the last. And really, there’s only so many times they can claim to be getting their wisdom teeth out before you realise you’re the gullible idiot who’s lacking in wisdom.
So please, for those of us still struggling to convince our mates of the beauty that is a live game, share your secrets. Your ploys, your tricks, your schemes that convince even the most antisocial of mates to venture into the great wild world of sport.
Whether you can lure your mate out with the promise of free beers and a feed or it’s taken something a lot more extravagant, we wanna know how you managed it. Because really, in our souls, we just want our friends to enjoy themselves too. Even if all it takes is some well placed puppy dog eyes.
Tell us the tales of your most devious persuasion in 25 words or less, and you could score yourself one of 20 double passes to any NRL Telstra Premiership Finals Series 2018 game on the weekend of September 14th – 16th.
Pop your answer above for your chance to win and you can even take your dodgy mate with you. And honestly, if you can’t convince them after that, are they really a mate after all?
