That was too easy for 'em, Tiges  .

59 - 51

[mightytiges]

Ross at HB to Soldo to Dow in the centre wide to Graham who hits up George 40 out. Goal! 

Even George is kicking 'em straight lol

Rich  10.5-65
StK    8.3-51

[mightytiges]

Now that was dumb by Bolton. Ump blew the whistle 3-4 times.

[pmac21]

I don't care who you are.  To give away 50 like that is a disgrace.  Was clearly a saints free kick.
A symptom of our lack of discipline

It’s a very entertaining game. Like 90’s footy

It’s a very entertaining game. Like 90’s footy 

Absolutely!

Some good tackles and bumps too.

Just a shame about some of the crap umpiring both ways.

We've been the better side but with 12 more inside 50s we should be further ahead. Just haven't made the most of our entries by bombing it too much. Saints are flooding and hoping to hit us on the counter. Our best goal that quarter was when Soldo drew Howard to the pocket and Baker kicked it back into the corridor to Sheds which opened our forward line for Bolton to mark and goal. If we're going to bomb it to Lynch and Balta then we need our smalls front and square to keep the ball from rebounding out.  At times we've had our smalls waiting out the back for the cheapy and they end up in no man's land when the ball is spoiled back the other way by Saint defenders who clear.

Broad has been very good and I’ve liked Dows work in the contest. He’s been very strong in traffic and he’s pressure has been excellent.
Parker has worked very hard again and seems to be enjoying playing against his old team and he’s being rewarded for his hard work. I’ve liked Castagnas pressure up forward too.

Nankervis has been great.

[mightytiges]

Great by Nank the tank.

Lynch spray the snap 

66 - 52

[mightytiges]

Good forward pressure from the ball-up. Nank goal 

Rich   11.6-72
StK      8.4-52

[mightytiges]

What was Lynch doing then? Go for the goal not a small against two defenders 

[mightytiges]

Good pressure again forced the error. Hugo on the run = goal 

Rich  12.6-78
StK    8.5-53
