Magpies v Canterbury

[Higgins]

Quick get out the heart pills and the respirators, I'm in danger of a heath emergency as the Magpies score a converted try to level the score three minutes prior to half time

[Higgins]

Gosh, that looked like a HB player was taken out, at least we can be reassured that at least one of the referees eyes is still working seeing as though he managed to see the Canterbury player played in the air and give them a penalty. Ah well at least it is just a three point deficit at halftime, much better than we could ever have hoped for an hour ago.

I thought I was optimistic in my Superbro picks when I had us losing by 30...

If you have got your smartphone at the game Stargazer can you give us your views on what you think our prospects look like please. Its much easier to get a feel for things from watching live in person rather than from a television.

Aaaaargh another sitter dropped from the kick off to the second half.

WTF, I miss the first 3 minutes of the 2nd half and Canterbury gets 10 points.

It was a played PS4 too long in the break

[Higgins]

And they score a converted try from it. Anyone seen any Indian bookmakers at the ground?

[Nepia]

How is that a Canterbury feed? It's the Canterbury players job to hold on to the ball.

[Higgins]

Two new props on with absolutely no difference too, sadly reverse gear it getting a big workout tonight.

[Higgins]

In case anyone is interested it is Hawkes Bay 10 - 27 Canterbury after fifty seven minutes.

Very interested, I took Canterbury with an 18 point start at the TAB

[Higgins]

I think you are looking pretty safe, it is only a matter of time before the visitors score again.

[Stockcar86]

Ref saves us there

[Higgins]

No he didn't, the Canterbury blindside clearly entered the ruck well in front of the ball when he took out the HB player.

[Gunner]

Bizarre decision there.

Allardyce made himself part of the ruck, so that Canterbury player had every right to clean him out.

[Nepia]

I really need to learn how to post gifs - I have floodgates ones ready to go!

[Higgins]

@Gunner Interesting point you make Gunner but where is the off side line in situations like that? He appeared to join from the side and in front of the Canterbury halfback who had the ball in his hands.

Yeah, I tend to think it should have been a penalty to Canterbury for the first infringement - Allardice on the half, no try as Princip illegally cleared out and opened the hole.
