They must rate well on a friday night on STAN. weird.

I think it has more to do with competition with the NRL for Allianz on Saturday nights and Sundays

Would like to see an afternoon game and at least another Saturday night one

8: Form 8 in the SS and stand out in the GF for Warringah. Deserves a shot and he's a big raw mobile thing. Job up for grabs in the Super Rugby squad in the backrow.
14: Form Centre of the SS for Easts. Has earnt this op through performance and not being a touted name.
15: Been in the system for a couple of years but injured last year.
18. Big thing. Older Prop who can hopefully do a job. Former Fiji U20s
23. Great young utility back. Can play 13 but 15 is probably his best. Big raw athlete.

Kane Koteka held up over the line twice now. Real coach killer.

 

[Red Runner]

This is a terrible game. So much ball dropped cold. I know there’s been rain but cmon.

 

[Aussie D]

How come both teams are wearing blue? It gets confusing at times

HT 3-3

You wonder why the Force didn't use their away colours. It's not like they didn't know they were playing another team that wears blue.

 

[Aussie D]

Hoping Simon Cron tells his team that they can do more than pick and drive when they are attacking the 'tahs goal line at half time.

Stanard coaching this comp isn’t he?

Hopefully a better second half but a lack of match fitness is concerning.

Tahs backline don’t know each other at all and it shows.

 

[Crashy]

any idea what Reilly's injury status is?

 

[todd4]

Henry Robertson had a nervous start to the game, a few unforced errors. With White and Fines gone next year I'm concerned about our 9 stocks.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

He’s a bloke that shouldn’t. Should be dominating this level having enough experience.

Having said that he’s a 3rd string 9 in reality just ending up the no.1
