Not confident, we will need our absolute best for every minute of the game.

11 years to the date, I was at Manuka to see us take on the Giants.
The next day, I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium and spent a half hour with a cheetah.

Saints getting outplayed already and we struggle when we go inside our F50.

Good grief. We’re flat footed, missing tackles and watching them whizz past us kicking to forwards playing in front. We’re back to bombing it forward as Plan A.

Looooooong arvo ahead.


Go you red, black & white warriors

Same issues already popping up which obviously haven’t been addressed.

Sam Taylor out cold. We may have a chance now. Very brave player he is. Wish him a speedy recovery I got knocked out like this before and broke my neck and had a fit

Poor kid.

What the hell is wrong with the way we start. It’s been a problem for years.

Which is bad luck for him but it should have been a free to the Saints player since Taylor ran into the player trying to take the mark. It was a free to Roma on the backline when he pushed straight in the back and they goaled. However, the difference in skills is clear at this early stage.

It actually didn't look anything more than a good spoil.
