Bombers are dominating, 32 inside 50's to 16, at half time, but only 5 points up. I'm going to enjoy watching them lose.

BS htb against Langford. easy game if you lurk and ping the bloke who goes in and picks it up.
totally disagree. That should be HTB every time, but they hardly ever pay it. Had prior, flops and makes no attempt, knowing he probably won't get pinged and will get a ball up, hallelyuja he gets pinged! He's shocked, commentators are shocked (but acknowledge its a free), we're shocked. Its not Langfords fault, its the systemically *smile* umpiring. It should be paid every time, but its paid 1 in 20.

Yes, agree, it was an affirmation free kick. The only way you can prevent affirmation free kicks is to make the umpires wear ear plugs. They won't be able to hear the crowd, or the players calling them clock suckers.

Disgraceful dumping tackle decision just given against Rankine, he had Caldwells arm pinned so he couldn't dispose, he did 2 360's the ump still didn't make a decision. I don't think it was a dump anyway, but if the ump paid the HTB decision earlier, then he wouldn't have even been tackled to the ground.

Bachar still the only player to be pinged HTB after taking a TOTB mark.

Yeah. That wasn’t good.

On a more positive note though, Mark Robinson has just had to rip up his “Bombers Can Make the 8” article that he’d just finished drafting for tomorrows paper.

He just took it out of the trash can.

That’s the life of an Arsendon fan. But we know how this story goes ….and is every chance to go again.

Having said that, Nobet Pays has picked the Crows to win by 14 so that’s a mitigating factor.
