Blues v Waratahs
-
Well - in hindsight, it was a fucking travesty that after the Ref gave that YC - he didn't give another one for the deliberate knock-on in the same play, and when giving the penalty-try - he didn't give another YC to some random forward.
I'd like to think that a 12-man Waratahs team wouldn't have been able to score that last try of theirs, and fuck not one, but two, of my "Category bonus points" in the tipping.

That pretty much sums up the last 10 years of Australian rugby
I’m looking forward to the next 10

Still keen to see if Sullivan is going to be a running threat at this level, but ball in hand he is almost Carter like in his poise and time. Hope he develops into what he looks like he could be.

Could be like Beauds but with a better boot.

And I am officially on the Dalton bandwagon.

Could be like Carter but nowhere near as good in most facets except for pace.

Yeah way too early to say he is anywhere near Carter's level. He may yet fizz into nothing but it's a bloody good start.

@crazy-horse that and Carter was pretty average at fullback.

Nice to only play in second gear and still score 48. Probably left 20 out there if we could’ve finished more of the breaks.
One brain dead moment apart (and I think the back coach blamed lack of communication for it), Christie is hitting good form.
Dalton must have the AB seven sown up, he was impressive.
I see there has been some Carter comparisons for Sullivan. If you compare them at the same age you can see some of the same attributes. Great left foot and seems to have a lot of time. Really helps out Black being able to play as first receiver too.

His kicking was outstanding, and the passing was bullets off each hand. Huge capability to work with, I'm on the bandwagon

5 points in the bank despite not being anywhere near our best. Funnily enough, I thought the Waratahs looked good with ball in hand, playing flat with a short passing game where they were punching holes in our defence. Sadly for them though, they were guilty of pushing the pass a bit too much otherwise they could have put us under a bit more pressure.
Massive games from Heem, Robinson, Akira, Christie and Sullivan imo.
