Game to start at 6:35pm, no VAR for offsides cuz the cameras can't pick up the markings to calibrate it.

RR
Outpost
RR Starting to really contribute the last 3-4 games. Except he still only has about an hour in his legs. I thought CCM were making a bad decision benching Kuol for him but they are starting to get the rewards in putting the minutes into his legs. Kuol is still a game changer off the bench Lot of slapping going on in the last 5 minutes! Really Simon lucky not to get red there.
VAR says no.
WSW take lead, oggie maybe? 1-0
RR Corey Brown? That's just weird. Connor Pain has been consistently excellent in that wide left role, and I say that as someone who can't stand him.
Tate Russell: great to watch but still not as good as Rhyan Grant.
Noone: only started to click in the last 3-4 games. Others have been much better, including Davila, Castro.

I would have Pain ahead of him. Grant is well below his best this season, Russell probably nudges it for me. In Garbs side, maybe drop Noone for Kuol for me, even tho he has gone off the boil since being dropped to the bench.

Urena puts CCM ahead, 1-0

Goal out of nothing, Western take the lead. 1-0
Pain slots into an open net, 2-0
[Edit: VAR says no, still 1-0]

Hilarious finish, especially Diamanti yelling "Very bad, very bad!" at JSB for not returning possession to WU.
Was fairly blatant timewasting so I have little sympathy. I reckon the rule/protocol should be that the team with the injured played must be the ones to kick it out, and if the player doesn't require physio treatment, then the opposing team is not expected to give it back at the restart.
VAR chalks off an Ibini goal for WSW.
Duke finally puts WSW ahead in first half added time, 1-0
Duke doubles the lead, 2-0
Troisi with a tap in, 3-0
That first offside they got chalked off was absolutely insane. Worse than our one the other day. The way VAR is handling offsides is clearly stupid.
Point the finger at Strieb Divloski - He's in charge of the referees etc. They are only going by what they are told to.
Pitch inspection at 2:30pm for the Big Blue tonight. Its rather wet over in Sydney right now.
No Big Blue tonight.

CCM giving a kid, Max Balard his debut tonight.
