Last night 3 things were obvious to me.
1) The refs were sh*t!!!
- SBW passing after a tackle... oh I know, free kick + 6 to go for Souffs!!! Why not just say "mate sorry I reckon you were tackled... take it back here to play the ball." Bloody joke!!
- Burgess kicks JWH and pushes his head/neck down dangerously for no reason. "Mate don't do that again... JARED!!!! On report!!!!"
- Clarke shoulder charged Maloney in the chin "oh knock-on mate... Maloney dropped the ball!"
- Numeous other BS, biased calls that threatened to lock us out of the game. Fortunately the penalty count (11-5?) while slightly worse than 24-12, wasn't the score that counted. Mini and Napa deserve special mentions for keeping the refs honest! If the refs are going to make BS calls, all you can do is run your guts out and put them in positions where they can't award BS tries because the man never reached the line and everybody watched him get bundled into touch!
2) Sure, Gus is more a Roosters fan than a Souffs fan, but the focus on GI and Souths was amazing!!!!
1/2 Time... AND THAT'S AMAZING!!!! GI IS THE ONLY MAN IN THE COMP WHO CAN SCORE A TRY LIKE THAT!!!! *followed by multiple replays of GI*
... oh yeah and the Roosters got lucky... Vermin just had a lapse in concentration... *while we watch Friend trick GI into thinking he's passing one way, then Guerra barging over GI to score an awesome try like a boss!*
3) Our tactics were really different tonight and worked...
- Surprise inclusion of Kennedy on the bench was my first bit of excitement.
- The commentators talked about GI a lot but I thought Maloney, Pearce, Friend and Mortimer booted him out of the game. He's used to catching kicks on the full and running the team out of trouble. VERY RARE FORM last night... I saw us use a combination of kickers so that we could punt the ball into space on the 3rd/4th when GI was tied up elsewhere. He'd then run 30+ metres toward the ball and get bundled up inside his 20. Friend did a couple of awesome kicks on the 3rd (one in particular)... really impressed.
- SBW Took a lot of ball from in-goal and saved our skins multiple times. Not quite sure which position he played but he was everywhere!!! Also gifted Pearce a try rather than trying to take it himself... whoever said SBW only plays for himself is a wanka!!! One of the most humble, committed team players out there IMO...
- Our defence was there... penalties were absolute BULLS*IT the whole game and we still managed to keep Souffs scoreless in the second half.
- SKD wasn't all that cr@p!!!! Besides his stoopid knock-on, I was happy with Skidz...
---
Yep impressed... I wrote this game off and gladly ate my humble (lemon) pie supplied by the local U12 girls soccer team this morning before voting (below the line of course... fun fun, the last few were the hardest.)
Robbo for PM!!! Seriously, why do we have to pick between a Manly fan, a Brisbane fan? Pretty boring GF...
