I do admit those jerseys look mint

Anyways, what's the word on Hawke?

He had an injury leading up to the match right?

Any idea how much time Lilo has had with the team? I am wondering about combinations.

Also anyone know who we should be watching out for from the Spirit?

Really looking forward to the game! Its time to end the off field politics and banter and get to the good bit - the game!

Vikings by 10!

I think Vikings will win by at least 30!

Im assuming Lifeline and SnowyHydro SouthCare aren't the sponsors, just filling in space on the jersey in the absence of a sponsor?

If Lilo kicks well.

There was some anonymous sugar daddy who requested it I'm told.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Owen Finegan is CEO or some such of the SouthCare service isn't he. If he just suggested the logos be put on the jerseys, who would have the balls to argue?

Yeah a sugar daddy requested it

Brumbies have had a fair bit to do with both charities during the season, and I don't think UC wont lose much for giving up the space for a good community cause. Also works as an indication that there is jersey space for sale for either one off occasions or what can be negotiated ($$$$). Win for all involved IMHO.

He will get plenty of practise with all the meat pies that will be scored!

As mentioned earlier........

Generous, anonymous philanthropist has forked out the dough for the two charities to interchange on the jersey..........

Hopefully we see more philanthropy like this in the future. A great way for someone to help out both rugby and some worthy charitable organisations.

One training session on Thursday night

So there are no tv cameras pointed at the game today?

There is probably a tv camera but, AFAIK, vision of the game won't be going live unfortunately.

Happy to be wrong on that, though. Canberra peeps, is there any radio coverage?

There might be some video in replay on the ARU's channel MyRugbyTV on Monday. Dunno.

 

[Eyes and Ears]

Perth led 13-0 at HT. Now 13-10. 2 tries each.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Perth win 28-23.

Far too much dropped ball by the Vikings and the Spirit forwards made the Vikings make a lot more tackles than them.

Well played by the Spirit though.

No Camera at the game except for officials use only - scores/cards/citings etc

 

[mst]

Always a worry when at every key point of the game the Spirit always appeared to have the numbers....in attack....in defence.....at the breakdown....everywhere it counted.
They came to play and wanted it, and the Vikings really looked out of their depth. Well played Spirit you deserved the win.

I agree. Spirit came to play footie today and deserved the win by far. They were the better team today. I thought the Vikings set piece was good, and running mauls went well. We just didn't seem to capitalise. We were lacking in defence and at the breakdown. Well done Spirit!
