He has been phenomenal. And deserves a spot. But it’s such a risk carrying both Harry and Nicho on the bench.

All it takes is Dale to get a head knock in the first set - which has happened - and suddenly we are playing almost a full final, against a big Manly pack, with one forward on the bench.

Maybe it’s just nerves, but I think Lewis on the bench is the higher percentage play.

Going to be so annoyed if Turbo gets away with obstructing our centres every time they go wide again.

So tonight's ref is Grant Atkins (who I haven't heard much about) and Ashley Clown as senior review officer, I'm guessing that means in the bunker? If so, there are bound to be a lot of bunker fk ups tonight! We are still $1.36 faves with the TAB, so a lot of people still have faith in our boys pulling out the goods!

Put money on it.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

So who will have the best commentary for tonight's match Ch9 or Fox League? I usually watch FL because of the better picture, with the sound turned down. I turn it up when we score or when the ref makes a bs call against us.

Nope I’m blind

9 has Rabs, GOAT and Billy the Kid.

It doesn't matter what Fox has.

Blatant professional foul from Jake T. How on Earth wasn’t that binned!???

Rubbish non-decision.

There's some very ordinary calls thus far.... Paps was hit in the air, ruled knock on..
At least the lads are putting in

As obvious as it could get too.

Good to get that last Paps try. Need to put them to the sword when we can and I hated us settling for two and doing nothing on a last tackle soon after.

Fingers crossed Brandon has nothing broken.
