I haven't read the thread yet but didn't anyone else see Talakai punch Hudson Young in the mouth with about 28 minutes to go in the second half?

I couldn't watch the game yesterday so I'm watching the replay now and I don't know if it's already been answered but why was Horsburgh's try disallowed?

Re: 2019 Rd 24 V Sharks: Game Day

I reckon it's a fair call. Sia offloads then Papa comes from left to right, running around the back of Sia causing Prior to change direction to make the tackle. It's an old fashioned shepherd. The confusing bit was when Sutton sent it to the bunker he called Sia the "lead runner" which he...

Not tried to defend, DID defend the way home. Sure we went 55 minutes without scoring a point, but for a defensophile like me, that was magic to watch.
Agreed. It's nice to know that we can defend like that when our attack inevitably turns to ****.

Re: Wighton facing a four game suspension

But when I read this -

“Koroibete is an aggressive player who was trying to save a try,” Buettner said, “For that he should be applauded.

“The upper arm needs to be tucked into the side if it’s to be determined a shoulder charge and in this case it wasn’t.”

Those don't look like 30min numbers to me. I think their stats are way off for minutes there.

32 minutes, Papa played.

Herculean effort.

I thought he swung the game when he came on in the 1st half.

As a team we are not going to be successful until we sort out our defence. At the moment we are averaging 23 points against us per game slightly more then what we are scoring. We need to start conceding less then 20 points a game, if we can do the we will win more then we lose. Last nights defence ...

Reece is the most pure, natural footballer in the team bar nobody including Campo.
I hope he gets a chance in the halves one day. If not, I'd love to see him go back to fullback and Dugan shift to the centres.
