SGI NSW Cup
Match Notes (Reserve Grade):
- Interesting looking squad, LKT finally gets a game and can probably still be on the extended tomorrow.. Nick is back @ctr, Lawson is out so they have pushed TPH into ctr also.. which is not ideal and Pring to fullback, Leilua the only other surprise, starting 2nd row.
- 6min - Had a lot of early ball not rly a lot of skill in our backline atm.. but eventually we knock the door down after a few 6-agains, O'Neill slides over 6-0.
- 8min - Off the kick-off we charge down field with all the usual forwards u can imagine.. an attacking kick that Kye Andrews easily plucks out of the air to fall over 10-0.
- 18min - We almost scored a few times but jets scored next, just a rly classy play between their 1, 6 and 7 (Ison, Ford, Pollarrd, all prospects).. 10-6.
- 26min - We have wasted a lot of good ball, but this time LKT with a pass around the corner which looked forward but wasn't called to Leilua who strolls over untouched 16-6.
- 36min - Just keep handing the ball back.. without converting our dominance.. Jets winger goes past Kye Andrews, disappointing attempted tackle 16-12.
- 40min - Bugger on half time, 3 pi$$weak tackles and we let them go in to lead 16-18 HALF TIME.
- 50min - Back on the attack, Jacob nrly goes over and Webster takes a short ball off Dextar Grant (who has been promoted from Flegg, with Fagalilo dropped back to Flegg).. nothing pretty but its 6pts, 22-18.
- 66min - Kind of a b/s try with multiple offloads when tackles kind of thing.. just unlucky but could cost us the game in a tight one. 22-24.
- 74min - Another Morgan Harper try over Kye Andrews.. too big and strong for him.. 22-28 still in it but just have not played well, just missing class and speed in the backs.. forwards have been strong. 22-28.
- 80mins - Gave away an intercept trying to go for a big play.. 22-34.
- Ever since Talau became the first grade assistant its fallen away in cup, just not playing smart, missing the 1%'ers, obviously missing halves as well with O'Neill and Quinn and today O'Neill and LKT not rly hitting their straps.. but rly we have had no centres for a month now.. unbelievable the centre injuries going on.. like Heidke, Lyric, Lawson, Feagai, Buchanan.. its bananas.. and we just have no finesse in attack, we just have forwards running hard.. positives I guess that Nick seemed to survive the game but definitely didn't star.. TPH rly cant be playing centres hes too small.. LKT I guess got some game time but didn't star.. he did try though.. Jacob was solid, Webster and Hutcho were solid.. Leilua had his moments.. yeah bugger.. season slipping away after a huge start to the year.
