BTW, Fakatava’s hair looks worse live than on tv

@Stockcar86 I'm still hoping he gets a hair cut and loses the blond mullet before M10 Cup kicks off.

Well done to Texan Colts winning the comp. Little side story and some other Tech supporters might remember this.
Think is was 2003 Final (may have been 2004). Those two years I would play the first round of colts before high school footy started. Finals happened to be in the school holidays I played the semi then was on the bench for the final. Was vs CHB and is 100% the worst ref performance in a game I have been involved with.
We were up by a try or so after scoring against the run of play and the score board clock had ticked to 35mins (colts only played 35 min halves then). Ref had said it was 1 minute to go before we scored. Then after the kickoff he said 10 minutes to go. The scoreboard clock stops at 45 minutes and had stopped. There were no injuries so no injury time.
Captain asked how long to go before the kickoff. The ref said 10 minutes. Everyone was like WTF thought the try would have been full time.
CHB get 2-3 outrageous penalties following the kickoff they eventually score and get the win. The CHB captain even said in his aftermatch speech in the clubrooms that 'I swear we didn't pay the ref off'. I would say our teams most spoken language was Samoan and a few of them weren't too good with their temper so wasn't a nice ending to the final (nothing broke out).I would love to remember which year it was as in 2004 one of the boys knocked the ref out mid season, got banned for life and went on the run from the cops for the rest of the week.
