Geez why kick the ball away there Donaldson.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Need some field position boys

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

That’s pathetic from Grealy and White.

Roigard is unbelievable.

No Force forwards besides Tizzano having an impact. The chaos is helping as the Canes can’t finish anything off.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Golden point!

What does Poolman offer besides being tall? Dime a dozen Winger.

Hope he does something amazing and wins the game for the Force but cmon get the kids like Leahy into the squad.

I don’t understand why the Force took the penalty to go into golden point. Momentum all with the Canes, Force finally in good field position, have to receive the kick off anyway.

I get it. Prolong the game when offered the chance.

If they didn’t we’d hate them for it

He’s not horrible but not a great prospect. He’ll have a decent MLR career

 

[Aussie D]

Well done Force for holding on for the draw.

 

[Upthenuts]

ref played that out to a draw

Whistle always goes in the pocket in golden point.

Yeah true, I guess I feel they actually had their best chance to win the game then rather then potentially in golden point.

Proud of the boys, they fought hard for that.

 

[Equalizer]

WELL DONE FORCE. Answered the challenge and its all you can ask. A well rounded game by the boys. Committed, feisty....and there was some niggle. It was a physical contest. Great to see the boys (NCdC) stand up for their team mates and answer the challenge on our home turf. That was gladiatorial minus the Colleseum!

Great return game for Bayley who got the team going with the first try and was good in defence. Tizzano another monster game. Potter again some magical moments. Super impressed with Grealy....he is sneaky good.

Now a draw is like dancing with your sister at the social..... not ideal...but that is championship resolve. Epic commitment tonight. Worthy of the contests we've had with the Canes in the past.

No easy games in Perth. Don't expect it. Nice work Sea of Blue. GO YOU FORCE!

Frenetic viewing but ultimately fairly brainless ploddy stuff.

I missed about 10 minutes solid in the 2nd half as I was consumed by gales of laughter at the Harkin bloke opting to throw the ball infield rather than continue about 2 more steps to the tryline to score a certain try.

 

[Shiggins]

Best game of this rugby this year. The force had there chances and should have won this one. Force defence was brilliant. Marley Pearse in a sling after the game ? Not good.

Seriously the worst bombed try I’ve ever seen. Anything else come close? It was ridiculous.
