Ta$man probably don't have a lot to play for in this game. If we get ahead of Harbour there's a very small prospect we'd host a home final if the two underdogs beat the two home teams.

Looks like Leon agrees and has rested a few key players - at least I hope they're resting - Hunt, Jordan, Lowe, Frizell, Taufua.

14 to 12 to Ta$man so far. Nigel Ah Wong got a try from a line-out maul. Bloody backs stealing forwards tries lol.

17 to 12 Ta$man, 28 min

Rapido

Good call. Obstruction.
Well done ref having the balls to make the decision

mikedogz

Bull shit no try call. Royal missed out on double. Would an impeded prop catch TNW?

@rapido Fuck off - Lomax would never have got to TNW

mikedogz

Good Karma. TRY Counties!!! AH WONG double

Ah Wong has been sniffing the intercept all night

mikedogz

22 - 19 half time Ta$man lead.

Rapido

@crash

Then the fatty didn't need to run his obstructing (or 'dummy') line then. If he couldn't get to him.

We'll never know if Lomax would have got him. Because someone was cheating in his way.

If your running in front of the ball carrier, and you contact a defender then .....,

That's my ruling anyway, god knows what the consensus clusterfuck refereeing black hole precedent currently is.

Rapido

Seeing the half time highlights.

Royal's first try should have been scrubbed too. Obstruction when those 2 guys break away without the ball.

Bloody Foxtel have decided not to telecast this game in Aus.......Bastards

mikedogz

27 to 19. Nankivell try

mikedogz

Try to Leger. 27 to 24

mikedogz

what about the head high on that replay?

mikedogz

30 to 24 Ta$man

mikedogz

Accidental Defensive bomb from Ta$man lol

mikedogz

Penalty to try to Counties. Maul pulled down
