v HB

Gunner

I’d almost bet the house on HB scoring again before halftime (90 seconds to go)

@gunner be getting a rark up something chronic in the changing rooms!

FFS tackle backs!

I wonder if it's time to bring Toala into the midfield - go for broke with youth.

Actually, we could just bring Lowe into the midfield.

I've a better idea, roll out the team's bus driver, he (or even she) must be capable of tacking better than what we have seen from the magpies so far. F%@$*&^ embarrassing, and that's being diplomatic.

Bovidae

Ili and Ranger don't want to tackle eachother tonight.

taniwharugby

we have the best defence in the premiership, we should start showing it.

J77

Sure up our defence and we’ll romp in.. if not the craziness will continue!

Lets grab former Magpies centre George Konia, he can probably still pull off a tackle.

taniwharugby

so did Matich fail an HIA or just keeping him off?

Gunner

This ref is a joke, finding penalties that aren’t there and missing obvious ones

Gunner

If we get out of this opening period of the half unscathed we’ll have done well.

Higgins

His skill/ability level in no less than that being shown by the vast majority out on the field tonight.

Gunner

No try, he was tackled and therefore must release the ball.

By they’ll give it, since players get away with crawling all the time

Gunner

Letting simple tries like that in from set piece is criminal.
Not the first time tonight

I assume they've decided he wasn't held in the tackle then moved towards the line and got the ball down - but only just. If he hadn't got it down on that first fall it would have been a penalty.

taniwharugby

was a shit miss by Hohaia, if he had held on he'd have not been able to crawl

Gunner

HB aren’t going to kick the ball this half by the looks.

This c@&t ref has been paid at half time

taniwharugby

whoa whoa whoa...this is a good decision.

Proves we need to use HYland more though

Gunner

I’ve said it previously, but Gregory has a great boot on him.

taniwharugby

@gunner he's a good kid isnt he!!! Loves mixing it up with the forwards!

Gunner

@taniwharugby yep, love the way he plays, abrasive, backs himself, runs and tackles hard
