Just brilliant.

Great win! How do our Origin players get back into this team? Sandon’s kicking is awesome. Walker must be worried.

That last 20min voodoo has popped its head again.

We need to stay strong and not switch off.

The club need to bring in a Witch Doctor/Shaman/Priest to lift this curse.

This win is way better than the Penrith one earlier in the year with the amount of injuries and players unavailable for rep duty it is a true win for the ages. I really just wanted to see performance over scoreboard results in this run between the byes but the team has more than delivered this was an all time great win I'm so proud of the team the way they step up to fill in when required.

DCE? Don't need him he can go shine shoes at Redcliffe. If this is what we can do when massively under strength with Smith and Savala playing a combined 50 odd games why do we need DCE when Walker is still to come?

Naqanitiwase you're so good it's a joke . Love your work mate !

It’s no joke bud.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Great win! We again got the 2nd half yips but this week defended our errors much better.

So many good players tonight. Special mention to both our halves Hugo and Sandon including great kicking (do we need Walker?). And Vic was outstanding in his milestone game. Other mentions to Toups, Ted and even E Butch.

3 pts Hugo
2 pts Vic
1 pt Sandon.

Great win!

Well done boys.

[Chook2]

Well maybe we should play under strength every week! It shows the comp is there for the taking this year! Just think our team could beat anyone but at times implodes themselves

3. rads - well done on the 150th mate a massive 80 min with 185mtr
2. savala and steep - great kicking game from savala while steep footwork in contact and 170mtr was great from the bench
1. The back 5, Teddy made 200mtr, the rest all over 100mtr! 5 tries from the back 5. And good yardage even from dom young looked solid and his best game for looking strong in contact! Marky skills are freaky! How amazing when we cross field kick to the tallest backline in the comp we can score tries off this!

congrats to another 2 debutants

rest up and abit of pressure now with several guys coming back next week! 5 SOO players plus Nat butch and maybe Walker any week now!

[The Brain]

Joey Atkins always gives us a shot, and allows us to play.

Thank Fark..when we have a fair ref we go alright..even the vid ref was great.

[gragra]

Outstanding win against one of the top 3 teams with so many first choice players missing. I agree the best win of the season.....Robbo take a bow...the man can coach! The depth going forward is unreal. We actually have the talent that can beat any team.
