It's wet and windy down south, and we get the breeze in the first half.

 

[Frederick]

5 in and we haven't conceded any points yet. Terrible last tackle option there with Karawana though.

 

[Liam]

Both teams looking terrible.

 

[Frederick]

6 gone and Inglis is over :lol:

 

[Liam]

Aku back to running sideways it seems.

 

[Frederick]

Ahhh f**k. Not the type of pass we needed in this weather Mullo

 

[Frederick]

omfg...

 

[Frederick]

Why are we trying to play dry weather footy?

 

[Spike]

Try to Naiqama

 

[Frederick]

Lol Wes finally makes himself useful

 

[Spike]

6 all

We're lucky to be in the position we are

 

[Frederick]

Ugh, so frustrating

Wes scores. Great pressure build by the boys. We have been near superb in my view. Great defence and taking the risks required to beat this team. Rogers has made some poor decisions. He bombed a 4 on 3 overlap on the last tackle by kicking straight down Slater's throat. We are dominating this team slowly but surely at present. Long way to go. Exactly the sort of great match I had envisaged. Real semi final tactics by the boys.

 

[Frederick]

With all the possession we've had, we should be 12 in front

 

[Frederick]

Fmd Rogers, another terrible option.

 

[Tom155]

rogers is an idiot:crazy:

 

[Frederick]

Gidley with an attempt at goal from 40 out

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Might be a crazy idea but move Waltzing to stand off, hook Rogers and put Pato at lock. PAto is clearly the man who will bust this game open. He is starting to worry them on the fringes.

 

[Spike]

Gidley kicks a penalty goal on the stroke of half-time

8-6 to the Knights

 

[Frederick]

Half time - we're up 8-6. How're we all (all three of us lol) feeling?

Me, I'm quietly confident. We've dominated possession and field position and, were it not for two fantastic try savers on Sau and a few (ok, a lot of) poor options, would be much more in front.

Also, might I say it's great to see Pato back on field.
