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?
May the FORCE be with you!
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.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
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...
cheers auss...

George Poolman and Max Burey….. go you good things !! Just great to see these guys get rewarded for their talent and obvious hard work….
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 wanna tell you it’s gonna be okay. I wanna tell you that the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason, because what’s in front of you is so much more important than what’s behind you."

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.![]()
