    Just caught the finish of the State Championship final between Burleigh and Newton.

    Jets down by 6 and they score in the corner with 4-5 minutes to go. Conversion missed. Bears up by 2.

    90 seconds to go and Jets got on attack in their attacking 10m and they turn it over.

    Bears march it down and then kick for territory. Jets get ball back in their defensive half.

    With seconds remaining a little chip kick over the defensive line and a lucky bounce and Jets go in for the try and the siren goes right after the Jets dot down for the try

    Heartbreak for the Bears as they dominated for 75 minutes!

    Watched a bit of the 9s yesterday.

    Kangaroos beat the Kiwis fairly comfortably. The girls also lost their game to the Aussies as well.

    Upset of the day was the Cook Islands smashing Tonga, 30 - 7.

    Samoa also beat Fiji pretty easily too. I expected Fiji to do a bit better in this form of the game, but Samoa were very clinical.

    @Dice I think the Kiwis will be better with the game under their belt.

    I took immense pleasure from that Cooks v Tonga game, I feel about the Tonga league team like I feel about Ireland rugby ... they used to likeable, they got some success and a combo of their fans and team made them unlikeable.

    I've been pissing off some leaguies on a league forum because I told them if it wasn't for frequenting that forum and despite living in Sydney I wouldn't have known it was on, I only knew mid week that it was this weekend. The marketing has been average. A friend of mine was given 10 corporate tickets for each day ... but there's no way I'm going today with the rugby that's on.

    NZ roll the Aussies noses in it on their home turf to become World Womens 9s Champions 19 - 17. Some pretty aggressive play went on it must be said!

    Oz v NZ final in the 9s. Kick off was supposed to be at 9 so I would have had a decent 15 mins watch ... but no, they’re fluffing around.

    Correct. NAS has been banned for his brawling in Bali by the NRL. His ban covers all the Kiwis tests but miraculously he'll be back to play for the Storm in game 1 next year.

    I think we're Bromwich and NAS (and an actual 13) away from winning it ... but yes without them we will get touched up.

    yea, absolutely, 2, maybe 3 players out of the 17 will be the difference...

    You don't think those two props and say James Fisher Harris/Isaac Liu over Blair would make a huge difference to this Kiwis team?

    yes, but not enough. They are better in basically every position.

    And we've had better prop rotations than them in the past and still got pasted.

    Sheesh man, we can say that about nearly every team selected. The squads are similar to last year (we're slightly weaker in some areas in the backs but better in others), aside from the props/loose forward, and we touched them up (by 2 πŸ˜‰ ) so I would have been quietly confident if we had those two and any other loose forward.

    Agree to disagree ...

    our best hope, as always, is that by this time of year they don't GAF. Premiership is done. Origin is miles off. They would rather be in Bali. We ambush them with lessor players trying hard.

    Twas ever thus.
