What a game boys! Did us boys in the middle east proud!
My punting is on fire this week!
I had $10 on j-mo FTS paying $34
$20 on a 40/20 @ $4.50
And $100 on the sharkies @ 2.20

Plus we held the goons scoreless! Nothing tops this day!

Good post-match interview with Flanno and Gal on foxsports website.

ABC Grandstand audio also up if anyone's interested.

Another great game, biggest crowd i've ever been involved with at shark park. Atmosphere still wasn't as good as round 2 last year :D

I am so happy with the win, especially the way we did it, I don't care if we score 1 point every game. We kept them to 0! 08 all over again!

- they got absolutely ripped off on the nightingale no try
- that was the best we've defended in a long time
- If gards is gone for a length of time, we are in abit of trouble. Both backups gone, I would put plenty of confidence in pickerd though. He is just as ready as gards was when he debuted
- gallen, another 200m game
- hotdog kept us in the game in that first half, played great!
- best and pom once again played great, who would of thought they would be up there with our better players this year?
- Graham had another top game, 1 try, 108m, 32 tackles
- Carney once again controlled things really well, nothing flashy but doing everything he needs to do to help us over the line.
- the props played great, ross and gibbs set the platform as usual and fifita had his best game yet.

We were gifted that no try ruling but it was on the back of a wrong call which gave them back possession. That 20mt restart was given off a Morris knocking the ball over the dead ball line. So was an even up by the refs.

Just got back from the game, took ages to get out but you don't mind that when you know we've had a record crowd!

Somehow I felt confident about this game but you never know until the end. Great to have such a big crowd, the atmosphere was excellent!

Great opening try to John Morris. Wonderful back line movement with great backup by Robson and Morris. It was Best's try though, he got through the line and put Williams in the clear. Best was close to our best tonight ( no pun intended), he broke tackles and defended well. Carney continues to run this side well with Robson as his foil. Robbie was solid tonight despite one dreadful kick out on the full. The forward pack was brilliant. Gibbs will keep Gal from playing prop and Benny Ross impresses me every week. Bukuya was a bit quiet tonight, he still threatened and defended well though. Smith is a rock and I actually feel so safe when he is on the field.

Our defense won us this game tonight. It was absolutely brilliant. There were times I thought the Dragons had to score but we held them out. The Nightingale no try was a little controversial but to me, he put his foot on the touch line. It was the end of our previous set that upset me - Nightingale should never have been in a position to score when the refs amazingly awarded the Dragons a 20 metre tap after Morris put the ball over the dead ball line.

We still need work in attack. We need to convert field position into more points. But I'm sure it will come. Our defense is the best in the NRL I reckon, if we can score more points we will go a long way in this competition. Gards's injury is a worry, it looks like he will be out for a while, perhaps the season. I have no idea what they are going to do, but I am sure they will work it out.

Great win and a great feeling to win four in a row. We must keep it going.
