Good game. Defence won the game, very pleasing not to have conceded a single legitimate try.

No shame in that loss. Didn't take advantage of the first half opportunities, not a lot of luck and more importantly some horrible defensive lapses in the second.

Plenty to work on, some good signs though. Just need to piss off Maumalo.

I think the bigger question is, if he still lives in Canberra, why the f**k isn't skeepe at the actual game?

It was a deliberate elbow directly to the head of a defenceless player. Everyone wanted George Burgess sent off, that was no different.

And Burgess didn't get sent.

And incidents "in the tackle" always get less attention than off the tackle, like Burgess'.

So by current standards, not at all a send off.

I'd be perfectly happy with that being a send off. It was a deliberate elbow to the head of a defenseless player.

We see that extra attention in a tackle several times a game, but it would stop if it was a send off offence. Can't slap, but can elbow. I know which hit I'd rather take...

The Viking Clap is incredibly try hard. Blatantly stealing from a soccer team.

The ad on TV when they show the clap has an audio effect with the clapping sound to make it sound better than it actually is.

This audio effect they also use live at the Canberra ground just before the players run out.

Not what one would call actual realism.

I think we got the rub of the green in the second half but a good win. The warriors were scary when they clicked.

Ill take that
