first video ref for the year was between manly and buldogs tonight
I can't remeber the last time I went to a game where there was no video ref decisions. Can you?

What? Are you sure? I swear I saw a video ref decision on Broncos vs Cowboys.
Twice I think. I remember a Broncos player being denied a try because he dropped it.

they mentioned tonight something along the lines of

"its the first video ref decision of the year and were finally agreeing"

in the warriors game ther was no vid ref either, i think the try in the broncos game where he fell on it was never taken to the ref but replayed a fair bit

I'm not sure about twice, but I'm positive there was a video ref decision in that game.

I disagree - I thought Quinn had a great year for us overall last season, particularly defensively.  He had a few "off" patches here and there, sure, but nothing like Friday night.  But with so many young guys battling it out for those backline spots, he certainly can't afford another game like that one.

Is'nt quinn recovering from an injury and had a limited pre - season,

i'm sure thats what I've read,

He looked very tentative , did'nt have his usual aggresion, which has always been his strong point.

everyones entitled to a shocker once in a blue moon ,as long as though they dont become regular,  I dont think he has had many has he.

They dont stand out in my memory if he has.
Go the Allblacks, Richmond , and the mighty Storm

One thing I didnt like from the game was our failure to keep pressure on through goal-line drop-outs, rather then go for the try. It was a major flaw of ours last year.


Also interesting snippet in todays Sydney papers that we are going to make a play for Dave Taylor. I doubt we get him but if we did I'd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4

meh, i dunno what it is...never been a fan of Quinny. He does have some ups mainly in defence...i just cannot stand some of the stupid stuff he does regularly. recent injury or not....the first thing your taught as a kid is to 1)hold the ball  and he seems to find it extremely hard to do that...and gets paid good money to do it.

I hated on Quinny for ages, he proved his worth through the second half of last season though.

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