Kayo not playing the game. Angry old man email on their way.

[Stargazer]

For who hadn't noticed. Because there are two games being played at the same time, this game will be on Sky Sport 2 (and Fox Sports More, Ch 507 in Oz).

[Stargazer]

@Nepia You don't get Fox Sports More on Kayo?

@Nepia You don't get Fox Sports More on Kayo?

Funnily enough I just logged into my Kayo account to send my angry man letter and noticed it was available when it clearly wasn't when I first typed out that post.

Crap, Harbour in after the Pies tried to run it out from the 22.

[Stockcar86]

MMT!

[Stargazer]

This is just as bad as I expected, and that's with the wind in the Magpies' backs.
Hoping for some half time changes and, especially, it's not going to be a monster score.

[Stargazer]

Oh, and Kurt Baker really is a liability. Just move Makene to fullback when McClutchie comes on!!!

[Stockcar86]

McNicol is another option for fullback

[Stargazer]

Oh, and just to continue my brief rant: is it coincidence that our two sevens players (Baker and Sapsford) seem to concede more turnovers than others? Grrr.

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 Yeah, but then more changes are necessary, like moving Fomai to centre and Makene to the wing. Don't want to bring on Tuitavuki early.

[Stockcar86]

FFS, what is this, ripper rugby?

[Stockcar86]

The ref's comment "live I saw contact to the head". Meaning, I can't see anything on the replay and won't admit I was wrong, so giving you a yellow card

[Stockcar86]

Hoping to salvage something from this game Maybe Baker can get a season ending injury

[Nepia]

I wish I didn't discover this game was being broadcast.

[taniwharugby]

Great interplay in that try

[Stargazer]

@Stockcar86 That was really a stupid yellow. Stupid from the ref, I mean.

[Stargazer]

Okay, I expected a loss, and feared a bad loss. Flush the dunny and move on. With so many changes to the 23, we were never going to have a good game, no matter having a few good, old names on the team sheet. I hope our usual starters and the absentees had a good rest. Now, start thinking about the game that really matters, next week. This game was written off before it started.

[Stargazer]

I hope Ozich will seriously consider giving Baker a rest . A season-ending rest. Now that McNicol is back, please, drop Sapsford, too. He must be the most handling error prone, most turnover conceding player we've had in a long time. These guys are sevens players, who need space. They can't handle XVs. How was Baker ever a Highlander?
