It's onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! S14 begins.

[GC]

Foxtel HD installed today. Loving it.

Canes v. Blues has started. Ref really cracking down lack of tackler releasing the attacker. Lots of penalties.

Very soft try to Blues. Hope kiwis play like that all year.

 

[GC]

Stu Dickinson (sp?) giving absolutely no leeway with the tackler release rule. Really really hope they keep this up all season. Good attacking so far.

10 - 6 to the Blues

 

[GC]

Another try to Blues under the sticks - Big John Afoa. Why didn't I pick him in the fantasy comp?

Soon to be 16 - 6 Blues

 

[Biffo]

Joe Rock looks very lean.

GO DICKINSON!!! Top job so far.

 

[GC]

Beards in, mullets out in sheep-fancier land this year.

 

[GC]

First bin about to come up for tackle infringements. Excellent ref work.

17 - 12 Blues

 

[RugbyReg]

I've got both Brett and Afoa!!

Will happen if they got the same amount of eyes like your avator, thanks for the update. :thumb

20 - 15 Blues. Penalties keeping Canes in it. Brilliant break from Rok just then.

 

[GC]

Nonu having a shocker. He's in my fantasy team.

 

[GC]

HUGE HIT!!!!! Cruden on field for 2 mins, commentators went on how amazing he is, destroyed in tackle, not getting up.

 

[GC]

Intercept!!! Gear try under posts. 22-20 Canes

 

[GC]

28-20 Canes. Toeova carded. Blues not coming to terms with new interpretations. Stupid play.

 

[GC]

31-20 Equal all-time S14 penalty record to Canes (8 pens).

 

[Sully]

I'm not sure if Stu kept it up all game. But that was better. I think?

 

[PaarlBok]

Havent watch the match but you make it seem the Canes was the attacking team for the biggest part of the match and the Blues defending all the time?

Still a disappointing result for the Bluesers, look like another loooooong season lined up for them. Cant afford to drop home matches in this compo.

 

[GC]

More attack from the Blues in the first half, but gave away penalties every time they were defending. About even in the 2nd half, but again Blues punished by penalties. Canes attack was pretty toothless really. 1st game thing I suspect.

The Blues seem very poorly coached. They just didn't adjust when it was pretty obvious how the ref interpreting the rules.

 

[Scorz]

Stephen Brett played very very well in the first 40, then shit himself in the 2nd, pretty much won and lost it for the Blues. Canes played poorly, they can get better.

9 Penalties in there too by the Canes...

Thats the important part. No supporter understand this simple important info. Pretty sure the Blues supporters are crying blue murder at the ref. :, to make it worse we have refs on ranking, meaning a SA ref will ref a SA team.
