What a performance from him in the Allstars v Maoris game. Sensational.

For all the criticism of him, he certainly seems to have improved his game over here.

He made a rash decision when trying to negotiate a better contract with Gold Coast... never really intended to try Super League and it backfired. Blake Austin, in contrast seems to have embraced the opportunity to come to SL earlier than he planned. His family have really thrown themselves into it, and on the pitch he has gone at it 110% since the first minute of the season.

Maybe it was light when he travelled to the game

I'm a fan of Blake already. He's already shown us in two games everything that Roberts didn't in a season's worth of matches.

A performance like that just proves to me what a wage thief Roberts actually was

Just when I thought Saddened had come on to apologise for his ‘impartial’ comments about the Austin tackle. Quote : Tompkins clearly tackled and Austin attacks the head - very bad should be 3-4 weeks we don’t want any of that.

Not biting

A ban? For Saddened? Here's hoping

Super, thanks for informing. How did that guy who played for you last year get on in this match, his name was Ben Bannedman or something like that?

To be fair he got Man Of Steel. I believe the voting panel consisted of the same judges who voted Kerry Katona ‘Mum of the Year’...



Also to be fair to Barba again, he didn’t play below par in any final last year. He might have been a bit iffy in a couple of semi’s. I’d have to ask Tom Lineham, Jack Hughes and Tony Gigot about that though.

man of the match....



the first two tries: one he simply shipped the ball on to Lattrell Mitchell, the best player in the world, who made a catch and pass look easy.

The second he couldn't even find a player with his pass. But just like many times last year he passed it in roughly the right direction it bounced on the floor and the winger managed a clean pick up to score.

Then he tried a drop goal in front of the sticks when they were about 16 points up and, Christ knows where it ended up but it missed...

hes still Bobbins but he's a bit warmer.....

Good luck to him, it didn't work out, we have moved on and it looks very much an upgrade so far.
