    Great win. Shame I couldn’t be there but should be back for the rest of the games this season and may I just dare to hope we might make the F’s?

    With 11 teams, you need half your games as wins to make finals.

    We've got:
    Hurricanes home (hopefully)
    Chief away (no)
    Blues away (maybe)
    Brumbies home (hopefully)
    Drua away (hopefully)
    Waratahs home (hopefully)

    Win 4 and I think we're safe. It is possible with 3 if bonus points go our way.

    This game was the first time, with 20-30 minutes to go, that I though "yep, I think we're going to win this".
    Which was nice...

    You were convinced a bit earlier than I was. But looking back on the year so far the team is much more resilient. The next step will be having the resilience to do the same in matches like the ones against the Reds.

    I hope RA come to the table. Less of a chance now if the Tahs aren't doing well, so they will want to weaken opposition and give more of a Wallaby top up to the tahs is Gamble eligible now?

    If you have Stan, check out the post match interviews where Tizzano's family pop up. It's a bit of a heart-warmer.

    I'm enjoying the depth across the park. Losing Pietsh right at the start, not good, but not the end of our game.

    I will re-watch the game this arvo. From where I was sitting with my one-eye viewing. I would of thought Sio's yellow since being checked so should of the arm around his throat? Or was that just my bias?

    On TV it sounded like 7 Nation Army but a different Bassier version.

    I have always been critical of Poolman over the last couple of years. But this year, he has definitely stepped up.

    Our discipline has improved. We were not punished by a barrage of penalties in this game. Makes a big difference.

    I don't know if it deserved a yellow, but those kinds of things should be carded, or else it's an accidental reward to the niggling, dirty player. Sio wouldn't have done it had the Highlander (Gilbert?) started it.

    Reminds me of that England test where Jonny Hill yanks clumps out of Darcy Swain's hair. Darcy reacts with the softest headbutt, and the consequences for each guy's actions don't line up.

    Punish the instigator in line with the retaliator and these events will reduce.

    I'm wondering if we might have passed through a wormhole in the Polly Pipe last night. On a weekend where Moana trashed the RabbleTahs, the SMH has published a favourable article about our blokes' win at HBF.
