ARU will need to do a good deal with Fox, because if I was Fox I would be extremely disappointed with the ARU's marketing of the NRC. It definitely cost a lot of viewers for Fox, and probably has damaged the ARU's broadcast revenue for next year.

Have heard it a few places, but they do not yet have it in their schedule.

Gray doesn't look that big on TV, but he does look pretty solid. Wouldn't put him over 110kg, maybe around 105kg - 108kg even. However, he plays strongly and hits hard. He's a handful a few rucks wider. He would be my pick for best blindside in the NRC.

If I did that at work, VERY likely I'd be sacked. People at my work have been sacked for MUCH less. If I had a list of priors like Beale's, guaranteed I'd be sacked. Serious question: do you have any respect for women? Your posts indicate no. I find them rather offensive, actually, and I...

The good McIntyre needs to show up next week or City will cop a hiding. McIntyre had a game he will really want to forget, hopefully he can turn it around next week. City will also need to look at why they couldn't get the ball out to their backs when they had a rumble on. Instead they...

You'd hope so. A "forensic" investigation of Beale's phone would show who sent it, rather just that Beale allegedly didn't.

Grey man of the match, can't fault that call. He was very good again. He's not the biggest guy, but he is not easy to tackle and he makes himself felt. If Hoiles, etc plays, Frisby may not do his ankle/whatever and the City attack may not go to complete crap. It's just one of those things.

So Beale would know who the third party is, if true. The hearing should either make him say who it was, or hold him responsible for it. No-one should get away with that text.

Yeah, City attack looked a mess with Frisby off, he sets a lot of it off. Eagles kicked away too much ball, and until late they did little when they had it anyway. When they had to run it, they found gaps out wide but they always struggled with the last pass.

Grey huge again for the Eagles, but he couldn't get them home. City had all the ball but couldn't unleash their backs as their midfield didn't combine at all. McIntyre had an error filled game and went into his skin, which didn't help.

Schatz steals!!! City run it out, no hooter, play on after full time. Ref gives a penalty to City. McIntyre taps and kicks to touch. City win! They did EVERYTHING to lose the game, yet they held on.

Feaunati kills a 3 on 1 out wide, gets the ball but gets bundled into touch. 10 seconds left, next break down ends it. Country throw in.

McIntyre with a RUBBISH kick on the full. Country play on quickly. 1 minute left, Country 35m out.

City are doing everything they can to lose this game, McIntyre in particular. He's had a game to largely forget. Strong scrum from City, but Country clear and run it. They are throwing it around now. Grey with a huge break! Then he throws it away. 2 minutes left, City with the ball.

Messy lineout, but City hold on and rumble through the forwards yet again. Country strong counter ruck but they go straight to ground. That was a HUGE cleanout from Kuridrani, basically won that penalty on his own. McIntyre kicks the penalty dead. Just 3 minutes to go.

Kerevi wins a holding on penalty from Kellaway, after Kellaway stepped back in field.

ANOTHER charge down from McIntyre, he is keeping Country in this game. Knock on after from City, Country have a scrum on halfway mid field.

The longer this goes on, the more I think that Country may steal it. City with all the ball but bomb all their chances.

Yeah, harsh advantage there as Kuridrani smashes Johnson. City get the scrum, reckon their was no advantage though and should have gone back for Country.

City turn it over after a single ruck. City all over them now, until Gill drops it.
