I made it to this game - what a great night! Love the old grounds. The crowd was great, the atmosphere a reminder of what makes a night out at the footy great.
The game itself was very good. Both sides surprised me in their approach given the slippery conditions but it made for great viewing. As great as Benji is, damn he can make it hard on some of his outside men. With that said, you take the good with the bad with Benji as he we will you games more often than he will lose them nowadays. The Tigers minus a couple handy backrowers showed me they have the depth in the forwards required to win this competition as long as Marshall and Farrah remain healthy. They will continue to improve.
New Zealand were good, they made some familiar errors though Cleary will know they aren't far off playing some winning rugby league. Against a lower ranked side, they get the win last night. They were up against a duo as good as any in the game in Marshall and Farrah in which they took the game away from NZ.
A great night out.
