Then, Mason Wood was allowed to stand and watch the shot-clock run out in the dying stages.

North have taken the competition by storm, undefeated after six rounds. Experienced duo Jarrad Waite and Brent Harvey have led from the front.
Veteran Michael Firrito said the players want to win for Drew Petrie’s 300th:
The developing Saints have won two games so far, although they’ve been more than competitive in a number of other games.
Both sides will be right at home on the Docklands deck. Can the Saints spring a major upset?
