| The quicker Super League introduces a second referee the better. The speed of the ruck we see over here on a week by week basis is laughable. As fans we want to see faster games, speed, skill. I know comparing Origin to super league is way off but we can only dream.
Oh and when our David Fifita’s had enough let’s have a go with his younger cousin also named David Fifita. 19 and he’s tipped to be the next big thing is Australia.

That's rich coming from a Wakey fan. Saints would have posted a century if the ref had got to grips with wakeys spoiling tactics.

Yewah we do it, along with every other team in the league. In fact player wise Lord James Roby is one of the worst offenders of all.

What's the team the poster supports got to do with what he's posted you plonker? Also are you somehow suggesting saints don't use the same tactics that all the other SL teams do?
Ateotd if the refs, especially if we had two watching the game, implemented existing rules better and stopped the wrestle, the game would be a much better spectacle to watch, as we've seen in the NRL over the last few seasons.

| Awesome game , the intensity at times was crazy and the speed was electric that first 20 minutes or so - there was hardly a stop for anything. Also like their use of live GPS stats, which can tell you the top seed of a player, how many meters someone's made in total and post contact, even the team intensity can be figured out and given as a percentage. Really think it adds to the live game and we should use it over here.
Thought that Klemmer had a huge first half for the Blues, after 24 minutes the dude had already made 118 meters, amazing numbers and played the whole 40 and came straight back on for the 2nd half as well.. Munster's going to be an all time great if he keeps playing the way he is. Tedeso also caused problems when he had the ball like he always does. Latrell had a stinker for some reason, just never got into the game.
The way that Queensland turned on the intensity in the second half was very impressive, they just didn't give the Blues any room at all to build anything and the pressure just started to tell.
The amount of missed tackles in the first half was even taking into account the pace it was played was an ugly figure, about 55 .
