Are you on the Gold Coast Wambers? That's a Prime station isn't it?
Doesn't go to the rest of Queensland

That's correct........
7 Queensland are not showing the game in the majority of the state........ only Prime on the Gold Coast.

Well done Warringah. Fantastic crowd at North Sydney - well over 15,000.

More than the Waratahs can draw.

I'm a neutral in this, but:
Some really poor decision making by Norths - particularly 9 and 15 - shot them in the foot.
Harry Jones was a standout, as any professional should be. And here is what I couldn't figure out about Norths' plan: Cam Clark was barely used at 13. He's fitter than everyone out there, probably as fast as anyone out there, and stronger than most of the backs. Give him the bloody ball!
The Rats held their nerve and executed well. Norths didn't. End of.

Agree Norths half had shocker, should have been replaced earlier.
Ref IMO had an amazing game he let it flow. He played advantage cleverly ...

Don't get me wrong: that was some high-quality football, with a talented set of players on the park via two astute coaching teams.
But to say this is the improving health of Shute Shield, when Penrith aren't fielding whole grades, and what they CAN put out is still getting hammered by a gillion to zip, doesn't indicate Shute Shield is in rude health.
For some clubs I suppose its in fairly good shape, but we need to be careful we're not being protectionist while that success occurs in certain areas.

Gardner missed 1 high tackle and maybe 2 knocks on by my count.
However he had an opportunity to call the Rats scrum to use it, and they didn't, instead going for the penalty when the ball was at the 8's feet and playable, with the scrum stationary.
