Lets just get rid of the traitor McLean now and blood some new talent
It happens across the league and I think everyone has learned to live with it. Can't see Bellamy doing what Bennett did to Hodges in 2001.

Calling it now, 4 forwards on the bench will be a mistake

3 mins in, YT living up to expectations

Always dangerous playing a team like the tigers - especially given their coach situation

4 errors in first six minutes, very unStorm like. Thankfully Tigers haven't been able to make us pay yet. A better team would have.

Love seeing a Victorian in the team but would have preferred to see what Justin Olam has. Also not usually a fan of carrying a back on the bench but given Billy has played 2 matches in as many years I think it was worth it today.

If we pulled a try like that there would be people baying for blood and obstruction

Bludger referee. Just cost me plenty by denying Addo-Carr as first try scorer.

Should have made the decision after that play had ceased (which would have been a try).

Just crap.

Can't see how it wasn't obstruction, apparently Blair tackled other Tiger but Brooks crawled through space created by other Tiger.

Fair point re Addo-Carr too, ball came off hand onto foot.

Wow what a game

Apparently the coaching staff are going to complete HIA's for the entire team.

I have seen it all now if that is a penalty against Young Tonumaipea, there should be a penalty in pretty much every tackle where someone hangs on for too long around the legs.

F*cking refereeing stitch up...

The start is on us for so much dropped ball but since then, pathetic.
