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

<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. -

He was covering a lot of ground tonight taking the deep ones and then the high balls. Then he gets into attacking line ready to make the play. <br><br>
What I liked tonight is that he varied his game to better read the defence. Lions play a hard rush defence, so he stood a little deeper or he stood in at 2nd receiver behind a couple of dummy runners so he could either run or kick. <br><br>
It was a mature effort from him. I think his only error was that forward pass to his runners back. -

Agree on all that, still not convinced Ardie has taken Canes spot though .<br><br>
I bet none of them are licking a strippers spark logo on Monday either -
Boyd and Plumtree are straight up fucking legends. Undoing Hammatuers work and getting two home finals on the trott is pretty fucking incredible.

<p>I thought he had a few average kicks as I noted above but aside from that he was pretty bloody good.</p> -
Ffs hand them the cup before they all freeze. This is ridiculous.
