Shocking decision. In a game in the wet they let it flow but a bloke who aint letting another bloke get up and then get the free when a team mate pushes him out the way is just about where the the umpiring fraternity sit with the general public these days.  

Webberley have a shot mate in hindsight. Up 45-16 at half time.

Deledio long kicking over the packs have been very important

That's unbelievable for both sides. If they keep that up they're on 130 tackles in a game pace  . That would be our total tackle count over a whole season under Plough  .

Good to see some of those names in there. Even if they aren't getting much footy themselves like Gus, Nason and Webbs they are still contributing significantly defensively.

Port down to 2 on the bench with Salopek and Hitchcock injured. Ebert back on after being knocked out. Those concussion tests must be easy to pass.

[mightytiges]

Rodan skids a shot but touched on the line.

45 - 17

[mightytiges]

Clearances: 31 - 15 in our favour

Rain come back  .

Rushed point to port

45 - 18

[mightytiges]

Breeze has died down a touch but windsock still favouring Port's end.

Salopek back on. So Port only one-down on the bench.


The bookies have us overwhelming favourites now at $1.12 to Port's $4.20

[mightytiges]

Port miss.


45 - 19


Inside 50s: 1 - 12
