I'll be heading out to the SCG soon. The thrill of the year's first bounce! The boundless optimism, when all we have are possibilities!

Looking forward to seeing how the new faces go and the return of Franklin, may it be triumphant.

I cant believe those odds - this is a 50/50 game at best.

Buddy off atm.

[Mel_C]

Seriously can't believe Buddy has injured his shoulder. Can't he have a bit of luck for a change??

Too many dropped marks in our defense!

How did we stuff up that certain goal?????

[Foreign Legion]

PAPLEY!

Parker has taken two great marks and looks on fire.
