Well I did warn you that this weekend would be a nightmare for tipsters and when you throw in some dodgy video referee decisions life gets pretty hard...
The only certainty was Australia winning and whilst I thought the Kiwis would prove to be a tougher nut to crack than previously, the reailty is they were pretty ordinary... Benji tried too hard and the Aussie boys worked like a team and ground them into the ground.
Staying up late for the 2nd game has never been easy but watching the City Country clash was great and good luck to the likes of Keith Galloway,. Michael Jennings, Mark Minichiello as they should all get Blues jumpers after their efforts.. whether they will or not remains to be seen.
Now to the video refs...how is it you can use your torso to ground the ball but the same torso cant be guilty of knocking the ball on?? That’s the dumbest rule in football and that’s saying something because there are a few of them. Jamie Lyon did not and could not score that try based on that...Rabs and Sterlo said so and I believe them before Paul Simpkins.
I don’t know about the decision not to award Chris Walker his try either..all year long we have seen a feather of a finger touch a ball in slo mo and they award it and unless my eyes are going.. his fingers touched the ball yesterday and the video ref Sean Hampstead said no try..
Just watch out for the NRL to gag John Cartwright this week after his comments post match.. Carty was 200% right but guess what they won’t admit it
I looked at my tips a minute ago...2 out of 5...not good...but I’m confident about 2 things tonight..Melbourne will win and we will have a cracking good time at the footy forum.
The Big Man and Noddy Kimmorley plus the chance to win 2 big screen TV’s... you have to pick the winning team and the exact margin...i.e. Melbourne by 13 and if you do and nobody else does, then whooska. Only 1 entry is allowed but bring a mate or the bride and have 2 go’s and if you win then spilt the TV’s...1 in her room and 1 in yours.. .what a great idea!!!
We kick it off at 6.30 with a bit of a chat and our predictions for what will happen come State Of Origin time..
And we are in the brand new sports bar at Rooty Hill so see ya tonight.
