HALF TIME
The Pies lead a spicy encounter by 11 points.
There was more than a little heat in the game, culminating in something of a minor melee on the half time siren.
Jaidyn Stephenson is the game’s only multiple goal-kicker, with two.
Matthew Richardson said Kade Simpson – who has not been to the interchange bench yet – has been good for the Blues.
