Shanks it...could that be costly?

Very important kick here for Cooper.

Genia!

Reds scrum just got munted.

Digby!

If Brad Thorn didn't score here, then I'm backing the Saders for the pushover / yellow card.

I think this was Digby's Benny Hill sequence...

Michael Lynagh and Sean Fitzpatrick on Sky Sports pre-game (via a stream). Anyone know whether they'll get the Aussie commentators feed for the game? Its the Aus commentators, nevermind!

Somewhat fittingly, To'omua throws a cut-out pass that is intercepted by Cam Crawford for the winner. Norths are up 29-15, despite having having minimal possession and territory. Big win.

Somehow, despite making (at one point) 125 tackles to Easts 27 (69% of possession at HT), Norths lead at half-time 19-12. Easts have looked ordinary in attack, and a large part of this has been how woeful To'omua has been.

I think the want to see an Australian team break the recent drought disarms any bad blood in this instance.

Begrudgingly, Reds.

I had a big post showing a comparison of the statistical difference between Moore and Charles, but I accidentally quit. In terms of Fantasy points (which are kinda an aggregate of work rate in a way) Moore was 2nd in the entire competition with an average of 35 points a game (only behind Beale)...

Moore funnily enough played the second most minutes out of any Australian hooker (870), compared to Fainga'a (915), TPN (836) and Charles (806). Robinson played 1072 minutes if you want to count him as Australian.

Largest sample size for all of the halfbacks in the competition, and he is the second best tackler percentage wise (only behind Duvenage with about 82%) for halfbacks. The Rebels also probably had some of the worst possession stats in the competition, so they were defending for most of their games.

According to Foxsports, Phipps has made 188 tackles made (leads all halfbacks, equal 5th for the whole competition) and has missed 44 (he has made 81% of his tackles). Percentage wise, thats equal with Valentine (81%) and better than Genia (79%), Sheehan (79%), Burgess (74%) and Phibbs (71%). I...

Or push a defender in the head after his teammate scored!

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rebels lower their offer, given that they aren't going to be competing with anyone for his signature.

Interesting listening to the media conference. Some things I've noticed: - O'Connor wanted a 1 + 1 deal (once year guaranteed, the other year his option) - KPI's that the Force had to meet - The 'team ethos' bit from the media release seems born a bit of out frustration with the process... I...

Pocock is a machine.
