I hope you were kidding. If not, that's just gutting. Sin binned without touching. Wonder what the odds were on that?? :-P

Good philosophy. But ankle tapped out of the gates by a sin binning would have had me throwing this tasty glass of Knob Creek 120 at the TV in disgust.

Yeah it does sucks haha. I've had a few absolute mares, I was doing some double up bets and put money on Australia in the cricket to not lose a wicket before they made 30 more runs and as soon as the bloke on the end of the line said bet is on Haddon got clean bowled.the bloke felt so bad for me haha. Saying that it's gone the other way a few times as well. Such is the nature of the beast.

Kahu has been nzs best, surely.

Yeah, I was thinking that Kahu was a poor pick, but he has looked really good defensively at FB.

Gallen and thaiday have played their last, I reckon. Not convinced of the new back line yet either.

However : good on Fergo for that try. Must be awesome to score a try on debut! Massive smile on his face.

Boyds winning percentage continues.

My God, only 2nd Channel 9 game I've had to watch this year. They are just getting worse and worse.

This promised to be the 2nd most enjoyable game of the round and was pretty dull, I usually love my rep footy but this mid season stuff has to go

Sounds like the Knights success this year - win one, lose the rest.

Oh wait you drew a match! Success

Yep, Gallens 220+ metres and 30 odd tackles and Thaiday 50odd metres and 20 tackles should see them both not play again for Aus, very similar performances.

I thought the backline looked as good as it has in some time.

Inglis back to his best at centre, Darius had his best rep game ever and Semi was massive, Dugan and Fergo made no mistakes either. I think our attack looked rusty and they looked like new combinations but that wasn't really the fault of the outside backs. Would have like to have seen Inglis pass once or twice to semi early, but that's not a major drama.

What a surprise, Parra fans talking up Semi. Although he played for the Kiwis I believe Kahu had a better game then Semi. No club bias in that opinion whatsoever.

How can you compare the two. Kahu played FB and had a really solid game defensively on debut. Offered barely anything in attack and very little in terms of his kick return.

I'm not talking Semi up, I acknowledge it wasn't a wow of a game as I first said, but for a winger who got no real opportunity in attack, he did what a good winger should do, he went looking for the ball early in the count to take the pressure of our under performing backrow and ran the ball back really really hard, much better than Kahu.

You Kahu has played a few times for the Kiwi's? He kicked the game winning field goal in England last year.

Kahu on debut? I stopped reading after that as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Ahhhhhh, at FB ladies, keep your skirts on. Fuck me dead. You monkeys do know it was his first NZ game at FB right?

And the implication that it was a gaming winning field goal is a stretch. It might have been a game sealing field goal, but it wasn't a game winning one. If he doesn't kick it his team is still in front. Did you even watch the game?
