Well thats 2 Aussie sides downed by our brothers across the ditch, not holding my breath for a win by any of our franchises this weekend.

The Blues are stumbling to victory against the average sides, thats better than nothing but there still isn't any consistency or grounds for feeling like we have genuinely turned a corner.
Jeckyll and Hide performances are the order of the day.
Show up for a half and then disappear for a half...
George Moala is becomng an inspiration.
