Good luck today, TT. I'm looking forward to seeing Easts get kicked out of the finals. Preferable from you-know-who.

I'm sure he was reminded of the spelling in this earlier years at school. An all round terrific rugby player and Jeeps man.
Easts were without Brandon, White,Parry & Gunn from the week before, so would be happy just to get a win.
My sources were a bit off and it was only one of the twins that moved to tiger land.Is this the Horomia's???
Ahhh well. Disappointing result yesterday. The game was close in every facet, however, I think Uni won the breakdown and just took their chances when presented. Brothers scrum was good. Some of the referring around the scrums was interesting (to put it lightly). Uni will be hard to beat and will probably go through undefeated, just by looking at previous results. Though Brothers really did test them and after yesterday's performance, deserve to be in the finals along side the Red Heavies.
Now onto Sunnybank. Away. Always tough, but a good contest.
Unfortunately Samoan no.8 all 3 are on the injury list from what I know. Young Rory (spelt different, think he has a Celtic background) has been playing up and very well but I think he was injured in the Premier game vs Wests. He was Bonds best player! Ben Hunt was injured preseason and still a month away and Doug has been with the Qld 20s but struggling with injuries.So they get these 3 blokes and they're not even playing Prem Grade..

TT your blokes deserved the chocolates and for a relatively young side they hung tough and got the job done. I got an insight into Chucky Mullins leadership and although I find him pesky and annoying, he leads by example and he certainly had the respect of his players. Some interesting law interpretations and I thought Easts were lucky they didn't get a 2nd in the bin after the Easts #7 blatantly came from an offside position at a breakdown inside their own 22 to stop Bond from a promising attacking raid. However Bond will be kicking themselves for not converting the huge possession and field advantage they enjoyed in the 1st half. Easts showed great courage and desperation on defence and seemed to grow in confidence as the game went on.Real struggle for the Tigers today but happy to come away with a 3 try win - Bond are a good side who can score a try. 28-19 3 tries a piece. Easts were down 12-3 before scoring a try through Sam Fattal on half time. To go into ht @ 10-12 which was soon 13-12 and then Easts got on top. Easts were without Brandon, White,Parry & Gunn from the week before, so would be happy just to get a win.
Doug has been with the Qld 20s but struggling with injuries.
