NRL officials asked for an investigation into the surface at Brookvale aka Knee Surgeon's Paradise.

Hooper will play a good game as its in his home territory but the rest of them will wonder what kind of poorly-lit, 70s horror film they just walked into.

It really is a shit hole.

If Rieko Ioane gets a serious knee injury as a result of the pitch I swear to fucking God....

Good too see with reputations on the line that reporters are questioning the religious beliefs of the opposition.

"Keep your eyes on the ball" is a key tenet in rugby. "Keep your writing to the game itself" should be one for rugby journalists.

So what’s in store tonight?

[Tim]

@kirwan A lot of sighs.

[Kirwan]

I like this shade of Blue jersey. Started positive

[Bones]

Excited to see how Clarke goes. Kind of. It's the blues.

[Unite]

@Kirwan

So much better than the other one!

[Kirwan]

Yes! Fuck the Tahs are terrible

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Bit of the confidence building for the Blues playing someone shittier than themselves.

Folau shows why he can't be centre.

[Kirwan]

Nice turnover from Clarke there.

[Bones]

Pulu is shit. Shouldn't be there eh.

Nice to see more than one blue looking hungry!

Was a nice kick, but has already showed his delay at the ruck.

I liked his dummy and snipe though - keeps fringe defenders honest

[nzzp]

Why doesn't every team the Folau plays for just spend all night kicking to him? He's immense in the air

[Kirwan]

Awesome hands from Clarke, no right to catch that. Nice to see a young guy looking so sharp.

[nzzp]

I no longer understand high ball contests. Tha thit his chest, but he got pinged.

[Bones]

That's a new one Jaco. Jumping beyond the ball? Never heard of it. Especially when it clearly hits the player in the face.

[NTA]

@bones peyper? He's an innovator

Did you hear the coms? Only had eyes for Folau. Wtf? He was checking to see where he was then contested.

Hold the phone. Another wtf.
