Good teams find a way to win, but cudos to the Rebels though.

kudos

[Crucial]

A fair few Canes players that get a lot of fluffing on here looked very average.

Roigard can't get injured this year, he's our rock and it showed when he went off.

Needs to be managed well.

Walker-Leawere was good tonight, good to see him lasting 80 mins these days.

Agreed, with Perenara coming back soon there will be some rotation. Would like to see him start in the big games. i.e. next week.

TJ will be back soonish.

The subbing really brought nothing. It made more of a mess.

[MajorPom]

Ardie straight into the interview apologising for his gesture.

Some rather back handed comments in there though.

Fair play to him.

[Derpus]

@MajorRage Fair play eh? Must mean something else over the ditch.

[Canes4life]

Yeah Ardie just getting fired up protecting his big bro. Probably a good game to have early in the season as it will build character.

[MajorPom]

@Derpus Whats your take then?

[Kruse]

Yeah, Ardie doing a reasonable job of getting in front of everything. Not much else/better he could have done.

Absolutely, I thought he did well trying to clean that up.

@MajorRage death threat on field? suspension. Obviously.

It's Derpus.

Could the Australian coverage make more of an issue of a non-event?

Death threat?

I was actually impressed by their constraint.
Sure - they kept coming back to it, but it was always with the commentators saying "out of character".
And yeah - my view:

• started off, trying to calm his team down
• pulled an opposition player out of a fracas... (in this day and age.. wise? was the force wise, or necessitated? ?)
• given a YC... as a repeat offence? This decision - I don't know. Seems.. flawed, counter-productive possibly.
• on his walk-off, he get's given a spray. He responds. VERY unwisely. I'd be very interested in hearing what he heard.
• BUT - in this era - he should have been able to keep his cool. If some fluffybunny had made reference to his mother, wife, daughter, whatever... it's part of the job now. But... I'd like to know what was said to get him to respond like that.
