Canes vs Lions
-
Yeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!<br><br>
Who would have thought this Canes team would break the duck. Legends the lot of them. -
Didn't concede a single try in the playoffs. That's how you win a fucking championship.

<p>how long has it been since someone scored a try vs the canes?</p>

<p>crusaders were the last ones iirc..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>so im guessing around 290 minutes without conceding a try</p> -

Tough final. Well done to both sides. <br><br>
Canes simply too good. Defensively excellent and caused huge problems for the Lions 9/10. <br><br>
Loved how TJP played. Sure he took a couple of bad options, but boy he's tough and when it was in the trenches he was in there tackling, ripping ball and talking to his teammates well.<br><br>
Barrett kicked well and was good from the back. -
Bloody good innings Victor.

<p>Shields off. Huge effort from a much maligned player.</p>

</blockquote>
<p>He's not maligned. He just has tits for hands. But his defence is excellent.</p> -
Well fuck me, they actually did it.

Bloody good player over the years. Nice to see him go off to France with a leaving present he'll never forget. -
Waiting for them to organise stairs and shit.<br><br>
Fuck it was tight but canes D killed them. I watched BB a lot today. You should see the ground he covers not on TV. Big engine to play 80 but still does the awesome stuff at the end.<br><br>
TJP was immense on cover and you should see how he yellss at the forwards to muscle up in position.<br><br>
Who would have think it. We're had teams of champions but this is a champion team. -
<p>Finally! Who would have thought when I went to the first match in Palmy that it would be more than 20 years before I got to see the Canes win a match.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bloody hell Sparky, the Canes finally have some goodwill and you're throwing hand grenades at it. :)</p> -

<p>Yes and yes.</p>

<p>teah there was one passage of play where he was over half way on the left, kicks it, then they kick back into the 22 and BB takes it and kicks it back, they kicked it back to the other side in the 22 and BB takes it again....it was like there was 2 of him</p> -

<br>
1.Agreed<br>
2. Im happy either way<br>
3. Nah, challenging TKB though. <br><br>
Best game ivesee from Shields, for his tackling alone. With ball he was his usual self. Too upright and knock ons at poor times. <br><br>
Great for the Canes to get onefor all the greats that have worn the jersey. Particularly Jonah and JC.
