He must have just been giving him a bit of a kiss. No player gets up and reacts the way graham did if nothing was in it. He certainly thought something happened and the replay showed a little something too
 
We were killing it until the ref started to square up the penalty count. If we play anything like the first 20 in this second half we'll walk this one in.

I didn't see anything in it.
 
On 2GB they said it wasn't on report, that the player claiming he was bitten changed his mind and withdrew the allegation. Said that he had his hair pulled.

Anyone else think Galloway is a very lazy defender? He doesn't seem to make a whole lot of effort when he tackles or to get back in the line.

always has been but he is 8 foot tall so he makes 10m every hit up seems to nullify the rest of his shite game

It's in the balance at the moment. We need to show more intensity around the middle as our line speed in defence is poor. Can't afford to do that to the Sharks forward pack who do roll forward well and get away a lot of offloads.

He's playing well. If you're referring to the Ryan break he was offside, hence he didn't commit.
 
Might be an idea to give Anasta a spell and throw Austin out there, I think he'll give our backline a bit more spark which could make the difference.

Graham was being a dirty prick giving him a Nate Myles style facial with his head. Graham is also a Sharks backrower so I figure he's got the same whinging streak as Bird and Gallen.
 
Anyway I think we're playing a bit too much of the Sharks style of game. The forwards are matching each other mostly but we should be able to find space around them if we try. Simona has not seen anywhere near enough ball.
 
Would have been up further if it wasn't for the ridiculous decision on the supposed knock on in the tackle denying us a try
 
Cannot sey either way whether or not he bit him after.seeing it live and on replay. Graham was certainly doing a lot of talking upon getting to his feet, after forcing his head against Nofo's, but it may have only been a reaction to sweet whispers into his ear

Non-existent so far. Our right side attack sees bugger all ball with Anasta out there. Throw Austin into the mix and we'll start asking a lot more questions of the Sharks defence.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys, stuck in an airport with a bar that can't show the game. Seems like our first 20 is always our best one and without a doubt we are most vulnerable between the 25th and 40th minute, dating back from the beginning of last season.

Ever since the Titans game we have been down on energy and aggressiveness for mine. Think this will return when all of our troops do and particularly with Farah back.

Well if Nofo does get time, and it has definitely been put on report, I hope those saying we have sold Koro are wrong. We will see what he is made of once and for all!

Agreed. I don't always like the rule but it was correct and consistent.
