Round 23 v Warriors at Mt Smart Sunday Afternoon

[Serc]

Not sure if he didn't put his left arm on the dead ball line before he grounded that...almost looked like the ref didn't look at his touchies before awarding it, but the camera might not have shown it.

 

[The_Joey_Show]

Match winning try scored by... Suiutonga Likiliki.

Oh, the cruel irony...

 

[Rolla]

NOOOOO......

on a sidenote, how did likiliki play?

Since out of the 34 out there he will likely be the first the knights see in first grade

 

[The_Joey_Show]

Very ordinarily apart from the try, IMO.

All over, Warriors win 28-26

 

[Rolla]

NYC and Centurians both forgot to come out after half time it seems. Hopefully firstgrade can make amends.

 

[Spot On]

Wow, no one does it better than Newcastle. How can you lose a game from that situation?

 

[Adsy]

Leading 20 - 0 after 60mins and you lose. How the f**k does that happen?

Also - how did Warriors get the ball when that guy dog shotted our 5/8 and sent him off in a medi cab?

 

[Serc]

Yeah nothing too outstanding from Likiliki today I thought...some good runs and the try at the end. Though there's a number of people in the NYC forum who have him in their centres for the progressive team of the year so far, so he must be going pretty well (not many nominations for Henry, and nobody has O'Donnell up there)

 

[The_Joey_Show]

So we turn our attention to first grade...

Knights as per program apart from the obvious - Dureau in for Mullen.

Warriors as per program.

Our first game since the retirement of Simmo... if we can show the effort and defensive steel for which he was so highly regareded today, I believe we will win.

 

[Rolla]

Scotty has his future sorted now, the knights are only a mathematical chance, so pressure shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully he plays well enough not to cost us the match.

 

[Spot On]

Good luck Scott. Here's hoping you stand up in defence today.

 

[Gene Krupa]

Scotty has his future sorted now, the knights are only a mathematical chance, so pressure shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully he plays well enough not to cost us the match.

Sorry, I missed this. Who signed him?

 

[Rolla]

Catalians

 

[Adsy]

Good signs so far. We look sh*thouse.

 

[Noname36]

Manu in.

 

[Rolla]

Weo are dominating the possesion, but execution is off and penalties keep letting them off the hook.

Vatuvai Scores 4-0

 

[Rolla]

Missed the kick 4-0

Cross has 5 hitups 53 meters in 14 minutes. Hopefully a man who has just signed a contract.

 

[Rolla]

Vuna beats his winger and scores in the corner.

4-4 kick to come.

 

[Rolla]

miss, off the post

 

[The_Joey_Show]

Magic (if slightly forward!) pass from Dureau for the try.

Kick missed.

4-4 after 27 minutes.
