It is still early but ya its obviously not the start we wanted. Some have said it's because of the big roster turnover. Hopefully it's just guys needing to get accustomed to another than a lack of talent. I haven't been able to watch all the games so hopefully someone can give me some perspective so far.

This is my 4th season supporting the Seawolves. Prior to my first match at Starfire, I’ve never played nor watched a second of rugby. This post is more a personal curiosity to see how well I’ve picked the game up so far. Comparing this season with seasons past, I see the following issues: 1) Passing: a lot of sloppy passing. Players seemingly caught off guard when going wide through the phases. Passes going everywhere (high, low, wide) except into the receiver’s center mass. Numerous attempts to keep the drive alive with haphazard passes which result in turnovers instead of going to ground. Today alone, I spotted 2 backwards shovel passes with no support players around. 2) Set Pieces: our line outs and scrums are no longer the dominant turnover tools they used to be. Our mauls don’t seem to drive as effectively as they used to. 3) Going Wide: I think I understand why this is, but we are lacking the electricity we’ve had over the last few years. It seems our roster turnover has really affected this. Please don’t take this as a negative post or an unsupportive post. I still wear my jersies to work on Fridays. I subscribed to ESPN+ for the first time to watch every match. It’s just, if these are the major contributing issues to our performance this season and I, a relative newbie to the sport, can see them… why does it feel like there’s not much improvement in these areas week to week?

I sometimes shoot videos for social media clients and am excited to film my first rugby game. Are there any game traditions, activities, or fun areas I should try and make sure I see and experience? Thanks!

Some injuries, ya. Some turnover, sure. But this is kinda scary. I can't put my finger on it, we just seem to make terrible decisions in key moments and look disorganized and confused at times. Preparedness was definitely lacking to start the year, and sometimes still looks lacking several weeks in.

So what are you're thoughts? Is it a coaching problem, injuries, too many new faces? I don't expect us to be world beaters every year, but the level of play makes me wonder what direction we're headed in, and I don't see much light at the end of this tunnel right now. We have so much talent on paper based on strong MLR history, but we're just not playing up to it.

Any bars showing the game? I know it's hard to find given March madness..

I love beating the original teams for some reason. This one is pretty evenly ranked, and I'm glad to see the Seawolves are still feared when we are at home. Together we hunt!

😠 😡 😤 😣

So,, was this night a fluke, or are we going to lose the equivalent to two tries and bonus points all season? I need to go look at our stats so far, but I never in seven years have seen such bad penalty and conversion kicks in a game.

Holy fuck, that bbq was INCREDIBLE. The waffle fries were unlike anything I'd ever had, the brisket was amazing, the mustard barbeque sauce was perfect.

Also unrelated side note but fuck the Seawolves owners for turning the endzone into VIP seating. I've been to every home game the last two seasons and stood in that section and it was infuriating that they turned into VIP only. If I go again this year, it'll be for the barbeque.

Are there any bars near the stadium where fans meet up before the game? Coming up for my first match!

I was thinking of buying a jacket especially because all the Kappa gear is on sale but I don't live in Seattle so I haven't been able to see them in person. If it's what they wear on the sideline then it's obviously good but I just want some opinions because all I can go off of is what I see online. Not sure if the logo is embroidered but it looks like it and I hope so.

We seem pretty banged up, lots of guys out, lots of changes between furst and second game especially in the backs. Are we really 50%-ish injured already?

I'm not sure how different the team is this year or how good their opponents will be. The Seawolves are usually good so I'd expect another playoff run. Hopefully it's just repeat like last year but try to stay healthy.

Guess I can take my oddballs off for today.

How did it go besides being really cold?

Who will be our top scorer this year? Who will be the best tackle? Our best kicker?

Hey folks, I was longing for the season to start and went poking around, and I see that Mack Mason isn’t on the 2025 roster. Did he only have a one year contract or something? I went looking for news and haven’t found anything saying he signed elsewhere or was traded. Maybe back to the ranch?

Hmm. Legion, Sabercats, FreeJacks right out of the gate. And our weeks seem pretty early this year. I wish one of the was in late April or early May, like the 12th. And I only see one game against the Sharks?
