Always play to the whistle. Starling falls on a loose ball but no Dogs tackle him so he gets up and scores. Bunker rules he was held under torso of Suluka Fifita and chalks it off.

Green Machine off to a quick start. Hosking try within 4 minutes converted by Fogarty 6 - 0

I wondered at the time if Watkins came here mainly for his rehab. He was facing months and months of rehab before he got on the paddock and I'm sure that was factored into his pay deal. Maybe he just thought it would be more tolerable to do that somewhere sunny and scenic to take the edge off the boredom and frustration. He didn't get on the field until Round 19 so I don't think too much was expected of him considering the Titans were virtually guaranteed the Wooden Spoon by then.
