I think the fact it was point blank range affects the decision. One thing to have your arm out when you can feasibly anticipate the cross/shot, another when it is unexpectedly kicked within a metre of you

I don't care how it is done. I am just happy for the win! Okay it is maybe just going over my head. But why was Hughes angry? That head knock was nasty. From what it looked he wasn't happy getting subbed (when at the bench) but like why? Surely he'd know it wasn't safe to continue. I get frustrations like in the moment but still
Also do wonder. Why isn't Carlo playing? I get different coaches have different preferences ect but like was on bench but didn't play last week. Only came on to replace Hughes this week

That was a perfect pass from LBS. Perfect timing, weight, placement and technique, curled with the outside of the foot. Eze had aeons to put it away.
Not many A league players can do that, and it changed the game. Pure class.
Not the first time LBS has done this either. Again, he's a game breaker, should be starting!
LKH starting instead of Edwards too please.

Checked with my dad who's an experienced ref (Mainland league) and he backs you up - too close and natural position.

What a great goal to win it and great lead up play. LBS is class.
Also that was absolutely a penalty at the end. Still, I’ll take the win.
Auckland losing really complicated our push up the ladder but we’re on track.

I don't think Carlo is starting as he doesn't fit the profile of player Greenie wants as one of the 10s. Greenie has prioritised players with their stronger foot opposite to the side they start on, so Carlo would be up against Ramy/Kartum (and I think Kartum has looked tidy when coming on).

Plus he's gone to the back four with Edwards fit again and stronger defensively than Carlo. (With the bonus that the mixed performing James goes to the bench, with Hughes and the - long contracted - Tuiloma as the CB pairing).
LBS looks a better sub for the sort of sub role Carlo might play. Khatum better if you want to sub one of the two 10s.

Think you might also find he may have been PO with the realization he may not be able to play next week due to concussion protocols. Because it looked to be a bad one.

Will definitely be out next week as they made a concussion substitution to take him off. Had already used our 5 subs before then.

Should add here that it's the international break next week too guys. We're back in the first week of April.
Rest that noggin Hughesy. We'll need you at the top of your game in Melbourne. Another excellent shift from him today.

Was following the game on Twitter, what a great weekend. Who’d have thought we’d get two back to back 6 pointers? Hopefully Hughes is ok, was some knock to the head. Been a while since I’ve seen that much blood!
Would be a shame not to see Carlo return next season, but not sure why he’d hang around if he’s not getting any game time. Fingers crossed rufer gets that deal now…he’s definitely picked up the performances over the last couple of weeks.
Happy Saturday nix fans, a very happy one indeed!
P.s thanks for getting the site back, it looks great!

I'm just happy that Greenie has make some tweaks which has made our defence significantly better. Greenie doesn't imagine tactics, he just implements what's needed and what's practical.

Just finished watching the replay.
Cracking game. Definitely feel for brizzie fans as that hand ball 100% should have been a pen, but we missed a pen for the same reason a few weeks ago. So from a Nix fan perspective I appreciate consistency.
Jesus so much blood from thay head knick though.

I also didn't realise (until just rewatching now) that the player for Brisbane involved in it was allowed to stay on? So now knowing irritabillity/rage can come from it I can somewhat well kinda not really see why Hughes wasn't wanting to come off. The ref even had to whistle for him to get off

Part of the success is using Edwards as LFB instead of Arniento even if Brisbane still got way too much space attacking on that side. I do hope there will be room for Carlo on the park, he is such a good player to watch.
It was a marginal win for us, but I imagine humidity was a factor in our performance.
