[antipodean]

This game is not characterised by great defence so far.

@antipodean last few weeks havent been..

Grant playing well.

[taniwharugby]

poor kick and poor chase

[taniwharugby]

dont ya just love all the time spent setting scrums

[taniwharugby]

what a try....that pass of Tua is excellent, threw a cracker last week too

[taniwharugby]

wanted to see a replay of that

[taniwharugby]

Ranger could be in trouble

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby Don't see any problem with that.

[taniwharugby]

@African-Monkey doesnt look that bad on replay

[Canes4life]

McClutchie’s size could be the reason he’s not picking up a Super contract. He really does look like a boy amongst men, been absolutely minced about three times. Fair play to him though, he keeps getting back up.

[taniwharugby]

still some very poor decisiosn being made

[frazzerbazzer]

Why did fakatava do the kick

[taniwharugby]

@frazzerbazzer McClutchie was being seen to by Physio?

[Stockcar86]

Magpies defence too passive

[taniwharugby]

are you allowed to dive on a player on the ground nowadays?

[Nepia]

This is an awful performance by the Magpies - even Ash is making errors throwing into the lineout.

Baker is a dumb and slow - how did he get selected for the 7s camp?

It happens all the time, was there a change they didn't tell us about, or it's just not a ref priority?

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia oh I know it happens all the time, but yeah, not sure if its changed

It's annoying when it happens, should be a penalty.

[Magpie_in_aus]

Hell of a first half. Both teams with some silly mistakes but man at least its being decided by trys not kicks.
