[matrix]

looks slippery as hell on the tube

[Con Gorozidis]

Getting smashed in the clearances as usual

Getting smashed in the clearances as usual

We've got a good midfield coach though, apparently, if I read the other thread correctly..

[mullet]

Pretty much perfect conditions here at the gabba .

Don't know why it is so low scoring

because both these teams a very very ordinary

[Con Gorozidis]

Im still baffled with our two specialist fwd strategy. How Saad and Siposs get games ahead of Shenton and Ledger I just dont know.

I mean we dont even need to tank anymore - we are locked in for pick 3.

We may as well just play with 20.

[Wayne42]

3 in a row for the Brions.

I hope it's not another belting, they are doing well at the stoppages, Leuenberger is having a field day, who is his opponent

[WellardSaint]

Match thread could maybe show a score every now and again.
Isn't that its purpose for those of us without Foxtel?
YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT

[Wayne42]

Brisbane 39, Saints 26 after the Saad gets another goal

[mullet]

39 to 26 lions
16.5 through second quarter

[Wayne42]

Bris 45...Saints 26

Bris 51 v Saints 33

Stanley off injured

[Scollop]

why didn't they stop the play to get the stretcher? We were playing with 1 down

[Wayne42]

Bris 57 v Saints 33

Stanley has a shoulder injury

[Sainter93]

How the hell did we leave Hanley so open for that goal?

[mullet]

They never seem to do it. And yet have a rule about interfering with injured players. Go figure????

[desertsaint]

Brave take by Dunnell.

and look at goose- rucking now. Would've solved two problems if we'd kept him.

[Wayne42]

Stanley may have been subbed out for Siposs, however, these commentators are worst case scenario peddlars so we'll have to wait for confirmation.

[Scollop]

Good courage Sammy Dunnell. Typical late head high 'attempt to spoil' by sauce Merrett

[Munga]

Geez we have a lot of work to do with positioning around the packs.

[gringo]

Love Saunders- he's a little bit mental taking on guys like Goose and not taking a backward step. Quick too. Stanley was playing some good footy before he went down. Joey awesome, Lee great hands, Saady what a shame we won't have him for a while.

[Jacks Back]

Any chance of Lee playing his usual 5 minutes of football per game instead of falling over at the drop of a hat?

[Wayne42]

Speaking of these commentators, so far, according to them..

Webster might have done an ACL...crap

Brown... an Achilles injury...crap

Stanley...concussion.....crap

McEvoy a great ruckman...c
