Battle of the Bays: Steamers v Magpies

[Canes4life]

@Higgins noticing the fact Walker-Leawere isn't there either. He provides so much grunt in the tight five.

[Higgins]

@Canes4life Became a father during the week (or very close to being one) so off on paternity leave

[Canes4life]

I'd love to see Chase Tiatia at 10. Maybe the Canes should move him there in Super.

Looks like a 20 point wind

I don't think having the wind at our backs will sort out our poor defence and pedestrian attack.

Does anyone know why Ash Dixon isn't starting?

Edit: and who is our hooker on the bench?

Did not see the graphics naming the teams but assume it is probably Jacob Devery from Hastings Old Boys

Yep, Devery.

@Nepia Did you notice that excellent impersonation of a statue by Ben May as he lets Chace Tiatia waltz past him for yet another try? TAB odds out to a now juicy $18.00 head to head for what it is worth.

[Stargazer]

I think this is just one of those days ...

[Higgins]

@Stargazer Obviously keeping our powder dry for the Ta$man fixture!

I also notice him take a guy way off the ball when we nearly scored in close. Dude is probably a grandpa but seems to get dumber as the seasons go on.

Cridge has a bit of pace.

@Stargazer This game is highlighting how good HB really are.

[Higgins]

@Canes4life Good enough to not get beaten by Wellington though.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life I think it doesn't.

[Nepia]

[Canes4life]

@Higgins HB got lucky.

[Canes4life]

@Stargazer worrying signs watching that defence. They will really need to improve if they are going to win the Championship.

Good enough to still be top of the ladder even after this match ....

[Stargazer]

Who did Sapsford replace?

He's due to make an impression.
