I didn’t actually get to see this game because I was down in Sydney for the Conference.  The game was supposed to be played at Dairy Farmer Stadium but because of Cyclone Yasi, it had to be moved to Skilled Park.  This game attracted a record low attendance which is probably what you get when the top team plays the ...
