im watching in work on silent and im cringing at phil clarke doing coverage, setanta had channel 9s build up which was superb, why cant sky do the same :@

when watching the highlights something i took from the game was that they dont really give penalties at the play the ball. They say the two refs has improved that area but it aint improved its just ignored unless it cant be for example when the ball was accidentally kicked out the players hand. On a few occasions players were tackled but were allowed to play on and defenders took an age to get off but were never penalised

best game apart from pies defeat i watched all season , some class players on display, really enjoyed it.

the biff was a great opening, hope it kicks off proper 2nd game cos when they go at it they go at it.

Yeh, I trusted him when those early bombs went up but I never really had confidence after he dropped the first one...

Can someone explain why the first NSW try was given when Slater knocked on, and then Thurston touched it in an offside position. Surely that should have been a NSW penalty?
