    Now Falcon kicks when a through the hands would have seen an easy try.

    Grrrrrr!

      Is it just my imagination that Counties are stretching the off side line to a large degree or do they simply have 15 Usain Bolts in their lineup given the quickness they seem to get up to tackle their opponents?

        That's good sign, the Counties half back penalized for delaying the put in when his scrum is under big pressure that time, just like the last few scrums. Hopefully our advantage in that area will continue on.

          And it does continue with Mark Braidwood crashing the Counties tighthead to the ground winning penalty at the very next scrum.

              I have become a lover of the rolling maul/lineout drive this year for obvious reasons as our guys rumble over for yet another try

                Still, I'd rather we didn't bomb those two tries out wide.

                  @nepia You can just imagine what Stargazer is doing right now! The try was beautiful to watch.

                  Putting my fingers in my ears because the missus was cheering so loud! Was an awesome try!

                    That halfback is totally pissing me off. Why did the ref wait so long to penalise him?

                      I was vocally involved in providing assistance to the two players involved as to what they should have done but have calmed down somewhat since then.
                      Not so pleased to discover my hipflask, that I accidentally forgot to remove from my back pocket before going into Westpac Stadium on Friday night, is still empty so will have to settle for a chocolate biscuit and a cup of tea for my half time refreshment

                            Oh dear, that replacement Counties loosehead sure gave Ben May a workover at that scrum

                              Try to Counties after an abysmal start to the 2nd half by the Magpies.

                                  Laban keeps mistaking Cardiff Vaega as Leger.

                                          To be fair all the three tries have been scored widesh and the sea breeze does seem to be a bit stronger than usual.
