Now that was dim. It was a pushover try. If you are going to run off the back, you have to score. Should have passed.

{EDIT} Not at all impressed with BB's kicking game.

{EDIT2} What is this? Clown show from the Blues.

{EDIT3} Well, that was the worst game management of 10 mins yellow adv the entire Soup season so far.

Good patience from the Force but Blues' kicking away possession badly is making it easy for the Force.

Blues whole game management and discipline has disintegrated. Just WTF does Riccitelli think he's doing there?

At half time The Blues said something like "all we have to do is keep possession and playing the way we are and they can't touch us" ......... and then proceed to do the complete opposite.

I crashed before kick off, and having just watched the game that turned out to be the right move.

Couple of unimpressive games last night. Hope the rest of the weekend's an improvement.

Smith needs to do less whining and more getting the ball away faster in poorly protected rucks by the Landers.

Hmmm. Get out of jail card for the Landers. And I take back what I said about Kewee v Aus sides, the Landers are looking increasingly sh*te.

Yep, still too many handling errors and poor kicking but a big improvement on the other games so far this round.

Speaking of big improvements, I'd like to see one from the Saders backline tonight. They've been very inconsistent this year.

Tahs are up 2 tries 12 - 0 after 12 minutes.

Sideline conversion - 14 zip over the Sadists is a great start

Awesome crowd - proves that the move to Melbourne was dumb

This game is feeling eerily similar to Canterbury’s NPC season.

I hope there’s a good halftime pep talk.

The boys have looked more composed in the second half, except for a shaky lineout

Bigger trouble.

It would take some get out of jail card from here. After getting it back to within three, the wheels have well and truly come off.

If we can win this one, it will take some serious balls in the last 11 mins
