What ever happened to Sami T?

I really have to say that the only way that Boofa played at that kick from Orford was if he cracked a fat.

He's at the Tits where he can't get a game. At this stage it's not looking like the greatest career move for big Sammy.

Jake and Clint Newton going well at Hull KR (Robins 3rd in SuperLeague).
Nicolau spent two years at the cowboys and only played 2-3 1st grade games I think. Now linked with the Titans, but not really making waves for Ipswich in the QLD cup.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

jhust watching the u20s now on fox, first chance ive had to see them play.

so far im really liking the looks of fred makimare, big 2nd rower who has some speed, broke the line and burnt the tigers fullback on his way to his 2nd try

but looks like were going to lose in the u20s today , 28-38 with 2 mins left

duffie is also injured and may be missing for a while, just heard on the commentary

edit: only changes to todays lineup is brett white moving to starting prop, lima to bench. tomane is playing
chris lawrence and gareth ellis are late inclusions for tigers

We lead 8-6 at the half.

We are hanging in this. Cronk and Finch running the team very well.

Sika is just a beast.

Gotta keep going to Chambers, he is brushing Benji off everytime he touches the ball.

lol Laurie bombed try...so hit and miss that guy

Sika was by far the best today. What a legend he is becoming!

Good effort by the boys....the game shouldnt have been so close we lost our way in attack at times and hoffy's handling and defence almost lost us the game...he was pure shit.

Still very happy with the effort! the big boppers were great!!! Lima, blair and sika were great...white was quite but did some good in patches. Cronk and Finch did well...and Maloney really added alot i thought, would like to see Hinchcliffe scoot from dummy half more often to.

WOOO

Good win without the origin boys.

The Tigers didn't have a better chance to beat us in Melbourne then they did today.

Was a fairly entertaining game for a low scoring one, the Tigers are always fun to watch as they just throw the ball around.

We did well though, still played our usual tough footy.

Sika was by far the best forward on the field, we are a much better team when he plays.

Finch and Cronk were good

Chambers had his best game IMO.

Was also going to say that Nielsen looked fairly decent aswell but let himself down with that stupidity with less then 10 minutes on the clock on only up by 2. He will learn from that though.

Well a win's a win, but it wasn't according to the script.

Apart from the deplorable refereeing, about which questions must be raised we certainly didn't make it easy for ourselves, but winning during the rep season is important, no  matter how you carry it off.

2 questions
Neilson's high tackle,- did his arm bounce up off Ryan's forearm, or was it just all head.

Why did the video ref keep looking at the camera shot that didn't show the full story of the double knock on near the try line, in the shot he persisted with the wests player is out of frame.!
