Did we win?

 

[Tigerdazz2]

Yes Magpies won 28 to Newtown 4

I don't know if the ABC got the earlier score wrong, I can't see why they'd take 2
Penalty shots when they were that far behind.

Watched the game on bar tv which costs 19 bucks a month.
The camera angle they use doesnt really help you get a good look at the game but its okay.
Javin Andrews scored a nice try early and looks a likely lad.
Logan Brookes also did some good things.

I was with an old Magpie during the week and he recounted a story about Tommy of when he'd left the Magpies and joined the Newtown Jets.

It was half time and the Jets coach, Warren Ryan, was giving his talk to the players, already down by some margin at the break.

Tommy was being medically fixed up for a bad cut, stood up, pushed Ryan aside and stood in front of the Newtown team.

He looked them in the eye, smeared his blood from his cut all over his face, and simply said: "Bleed with me!"

Oh, yes, the team played out of their skins and won the game.

Later, there was a bit of "bad blood between coach and captain to a point where Ryan was not happy." It is said that Ryan confided in the Jets management of his discontent. They replied:"Yes, Warren you taught this team to play, but Tommy taught them to WIN!!"

There'll only be one Tommy ever.
"Cattledog" time soon ...... 😉
