Another sunny day at coogee with Wicks winning fourth grade 33-10 , third grade won 31-15 even though wicks got three yellow cards which showed poor refereeing rather than bad play. Second grade played hot and cold , down 17-12 at half time they went on to win 38-17 including a penalty try...

Where does that leave Hepetema and Horowitz

20% of Nothing is still nothing. Still, I like a good steal and know nothing of front row play or indeed backline play.

I like the Coaches back line team and thinking, however, if the boys throw themselves at the opposition like they did on Saturday we will be looking for replacement bodies. Is there a definite call for the halfback not to have a scoot? as there were a few openings on saturday that had potential...

A very pleasant sunny day at arguably the best club rugby venue Easts. Five grades played with Wicks getting four out of five wins. What will happen if only two grades are allowed per club in the future???? Wicks fourths stole the game at the end and Easts returned the compliment by stealing...

Watched Uni take on Wicks yesterday. Uni won convincingly but allowed a few early breaks from Wicks especially in the centers. Wicks kept failing just as they were hard in the opposition 22 by making silly errors and giving away penalties. The Wicks 12 was very good in his drift lines and...

Despite the loss , Genia was brilliant most of the night. Well done to the Lions but how on earth did they get to 41 . The Wallabies seemed tentative early and became more so after giving a few penalties and the early try. At 19 - 3 the wallabies finally started to work their patterns but great...

A pleasant Wednesday evening watching a bit of colts and reserve grade where Eastwood prevailed in all three games. The bit I watched of colts , I thought the teams , third grade, seemed fairly even in ability but Eastwood made their ball count. Wicks looked good throwing it wide but seemed...

Muddy waters heh. Lawyers love it

Never ever heard of citings , once heard, being reheard. Not enough work for lawyers ?. Move on and get the next citing heard- elbow to the head. Then look at high tackles on Saturday. Then of course Folaeu dropping opposite number on his head or was it above the horizontal in attack? Move on

As I understand it, Wicks are building depth which will hold them in good stead in a year or two. The current setup has improved the game style and it seems the players are happy, so why change. Some young men are still growing into their bodies,and looking through the grades there are a number...

Both Eastwood and Randwick have depth through the clubs. Eastwood have the benefit of greater experience in first grade and were on average about 3 years older and somewhat heavier across the park or so it seemed. The Eastwood backs were very well organised ,so I thought the Wicks backs did...

What a miserable day. I thought that Eastwood always looked in control with their defence well organised and lots of talk. Their tight five must have been coached by Usain Bolt as they were faster than the ball off the line, in defence. randwick did their best , which given the weather, was...

Thanks Coach Looks like possibly the same conditions as the first round.

Thanks Coach It does look good for Randwick over the next few years as the current crop of Colts have some very fine players moving up next year. I heard that 3rd and 4th grade woould be at Latham tomorrow, any news on First and Reserve location? Mitchel on the wing would be a bonus this week...

Wicks versus Eastwood and hopefully a dry day although some rain is forecast. Looking at the team sheets on the Wicks web, we have another flanker at centre. You would have to think that Samu would do the job on Mitchel or Macdougal. The rest of the Wicks teams seem to also be made up with men...

Well we got wet weather and wicks played their uptempo game. When they held the ball they went well and I think a dry track would have produced a very different result. Manly played the better and took the middle ground more often than not and their defence was well organised .However , they are...

Woould prefer a different fullback for wicks in defence. Hope the conditions are dry.

In the words of Sir Humphrey " A brave decision" having Connor in the centres. I like it. He is very good on the turnover and he is quite fast and is always on hand on a break. Easier to defend at 12 than 13 and he has always been a good tackler. Means we have a strong back row and if the wicks...

The long fellow is going well and seems a regular in twos. Its hard to tell if he is fast when he runs as the steps are huge but he keeps up with the breakouts and adds bulk at the breakdown. Could do with a bit of sprint training imo. Enjoy watching him play. This week, Manly , I am told, have...
