V CM

[Chiefy07]

I don't think we're miles away, the defence has been a strong point so far this season and last night was a lapse. I'm also hoping we've had our share of bad officiating for the rest of the season last night...

I like our backline. Resting the starting props is ok. We lose nothing with addition of Sykes and Stokes. With better intent on D we should (?) be in with a crack.

[taniwharugby]

@kev we still have the best defensive record (just) in the championship, just need to play like it.

I've not got a good feeling about this game, hope I'm wrong.

[taniwharugby]

hope we start listening to the ref today...

[Northlandallday]

@taniwharugby
Refs busy listening to the one eyed touchie.

[taniwharugby]

then ignored the CM lying on his players to effect a t/o.

[taniwharugby]

CM up offside at that ruck, wheres the call AR?

[taniwharugby]

he saw the next one...

[taniwharugby]

seriously, WTF...he was never on the actual ball

[taniwharugby]

doing our very best to give CM more chances at scoring

[taniwharugby]

and they are doing thier best at just staying down here without actually scoring

[taniwharugby]

nice try on our first visit to thier 22...Kitto gets a stray knee to the head

[taniwharugby]

poor lineout and unlucky bounce and CM in

[J77]

Ranger with a truck load of errors so far..

[taniwharugby]

we are getting killed at the breakdown, missing Matich's workrate

[taniwharugby]

ref missing CM up offside alot.

[taniwharugby]

that was a forward pass to Laulala, so bit of justice with the out on the full

[taniwharugby]

pretty much all of those are genuine attempts, just depends how the ref calls it
