Anyone heading over this weekend?
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Gosh the crowd looks dismal!! Why Melbourne surely Queensland would have been better for this?
Tasmania would have got a bigger turnout
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Considering it's an AFL free day and Storm not playing until Monday, it's pretty crook. When are Rugby administrators going to see the bleeding obvious? Thank f@ck the Mungos will be on soon.
Charlie Gamble the "Neville from Subbies" only took 39 minutes of trans Tasman to become "Charlie Gamble the Man form Christchurch".
GTT!!
Really enjoy Justin Harrison’s commentary. You can tell why he was part of a successful organisation
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Very clever scheduling having all games in super round counted as kiwi home games. The crowds appear to be exclusively kiwi supporters

Japan and the Pacific Islands for Aussie Super 9's!
Let's have one of these in WA! Click this link: Saitama Super Arena - New Perth Stadium?
You're failing to mention the fact that he excuses every issue with the most cynical team in Super Rugby. When Harrison is commentating, the Brumbies can do no wrong, but that's no different from Horan - Reds, Turinui - Tahs and Reds or Maloney - Tahs and sometimes Rebels.

perhaps I am watching a different version of STAN.
Or
I am not looking for an excuse to hate it.
I enjoy Sean Maloney's commentary. His Love and enthusiasm for the game I find contagious.
Justin Harrisons' friendly niggle with Andrew Mehrtens is funny.
The rest I can take or leave. But I enjoy it as a whole.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
I would generally agree X. But I do find Maloney's commentary a little over-egged at times. The bias doesn't worry me too much. It's nowhere near the level of Kearns’ embarrassing whining. It would be a little strange if they weren't TBH. But trying to gloss over foul play is crossing the line IMO.

I like Maloney, his commentary is about the game. I agree I don't want to hear Horan moan anything not Reds/Qld. Mitchell "can I not tell anyone how much I feel ripped off from the Force" rhetoric. Every other once player from another team is annoying, just wish Sharp, Cannon or someone so not " oh my god, Shute shield/ my school/ can I never say good play by the X player who is currently playing with "Y" team be it Force or not. Merthens I find hilarious with his forgetful commentary et al but the fact he cares more for the game and spectacle then showing who he has rubbed shoulders with is refreshing. I like the game, i dont really care for their school
He's pleasantly surprised me too. Used to annoy the crap outta me when he played. The most hilarious bit of forgettery he's related so far was from his playing days in France. He forgot to pack spare jocks on game day. Had to borrow from a meticulously prepared team mate who always took a 3-pack. Nick Berry
