    Fantastic … Well done Tahs.. well deserved as they were the best team throughout the season.

  • 248

    Joubert pinged McCaw at some vital times, none more so than that last penalty

  • 249

    ….and the entire Saders team can thank Heinz for stupidly kicking the ball away with less than 4 minutes on the clock. He single handily lost them the match.

    Heinz, me old mucker, expect a call from Jake the Snake soon, you’re just his type of player!
