Given BBC have now also lost 2, 3 and 7, I'm tipping TGS to get up. Given their run of injuries, Toutai Kefu better be careful running the water on.
Totai was not there today -.he has a calf injury.

One of the gutsiest wins by BBC 1stxv I have seen in ages. They started with 7 out injured from the team that played round1 And then a terrible injury to the winger.Hosea was sensational and BOG.2 was not far off . 1 and 3 up from the 2nds dominated the scrums.
Up 22-5 with 15 to go they took foot off gas and ill- discipline.
To the 2 doctors that ran on the field and hepled that young man - I salute you .
You are kidding it should have not been whistled ? Compared to what - State of Origin? It was a big hit by a big guy. He should be playing Senior Rugby. Perhaps the size of BBC and other teams and the excess in the injury toll for them is to do with an emphasis on developing strength in the Gym and dare I say too much protein powder and other supplements?Shame for the young guy - hope he's ok
The way I saw it he tried to go under a missile shot and got hit hard in the chest area
The penalty / card was more for the effect of it as it was brutal - but fair
Quite frankly it shouldn't have even been whistled .
TGS score moments later and came within a whisker of stealing it - which would not have been a just outcome
BBC deserved it today in a hard fought backs to the wall guts win
5 and 2 - outstanding
Nothing dubious about that - should have been Red.Reports are BBC 14 is ok
It was a pretty freaky event though
BBC 5 copped a dubious yellow

Did you see the hit? Were you there?Grow up
Did you see the hit? Were you there?
I rest my case.Referring to your petulant closing comment.

What I should have added in my last post was that #5 was offside as well as he and many of the BBC line were all afternoon and were pinged for it about 30% of the time. Sure physicality is part of the game but play within the rules. I get the feeling you were at the game and it was the old Richie McCaw effect of playing within an inch of the law which BBC did better than TGS. I'm sure you would agree. No doubt the pass was a Hospital pass as well from the guy on his inside.Can't ( and shouldn't ) whistle physical dominance out of the game Sir Les
Last time I checked it is a collision sport
It was below the shoulder , wasn't dirty ..play on
Are you sure about that!?What I should have added in my last post was that #5 was offside
Yes. I was standing up on the tennis court side of Old Boys Oval in line with the play. AS I said earlier the BBC backline was offside most of the afternoon. The perspective at this oval is the best in the GPS being in a natural amphitheatre.Are you sure about that!?
I agree that TSS are very well coached. They tweak their game plan each week to exploit the oppositions weaknesses and stay away from their strengths.TSS had obviously done a lot of homework on GT and easily met their every move. GT basically played a 15 man backline constantly spreading the ball from one side to the other without making any advantage. A few simple pick and drives from them would have paved the way for easy points. The game plan needed to be changed at half time but unfortunately it wasn't which lead to a very one dimensional team being found out. Well done TSS coaching staff. Also a very credible mention to the goal kickers from both teams- probably the highlight of the afternoon.
Maybe you're right, but IF you were wrong about #5 being offside, maybe you'd also be wrong about BBC being offside all afternoon... hey?Yes.

The TGS boy (2nd receiver off the ruck received the ball and #5 from BBC simultaneously). I am sure Nudgee will note this and prepare accordingly. Hopefully the chosen referee will as well.
Solid results up the range, BBC won
1stXV, 16A, 15A, 14A, 13A, 12A - last 4 teams quoted did not have a point scored against them.
TGS won 11A and all the opens except 1st XV.
