Very impressive shots, I think you captured the action brilliantly.no 12 ismy favourite as you got the player mid flight .

Great images Tom... did you get your accreditation? Not sure I'm gona be able to make good use of my pass this yea, I really wanted to get to that game. Awesome final quarter!

I hope Sturt can find the form he had during the summer, some of the numbers he put up back in Aus were huge, that Lions team could be very good. Pleased the Giants got that win though, Bailey and Bernard only arrived the day before at the Giants too I think so they should be much better again next week.

p.s Tom, dont mean to break any rules here, and hope I'm not but any chance you can drop me an email [email protected]
