Wests V Gold Coast game had some good moments for Wests but again they were asleep at kickoff with GC scoring in the first 30 seconds. They were beaten quite easily by a GC side that has improved substantially since the first round. Really liked the performance of the GC fullback in his first...

Watched an enthralling match Wests v Sunnybank and thought it was one of the best matches I've seen this year for a contest. I thought that the props for Wests were the match winners in the set piece and around the park. Couple of players that struggled were Tim Smith the half back for Wests...

I have to say on the comments re Sam Green, while this young man is certainly a gifted player he still has lots to learn and is a bit suspect in defence, I watched him get rolled a few times in the Uni match when he should have been able to stop the attack. But I am not too critical of this as...

Wests V norths saw the same type of game that we have seen all year. Norths were too well drilled and ran over the top of Wests. Again we saw a yellow card and ill discipline for Wests and this cost them. There is some brilliant players in the Wests team but as "leo S" mentions they do not...

Watched the Wests V Norths game and it was a tough grind in the first half but Wests turned the screws up in the second stanza. I thought that the fullback Byron Hutchinson added some starch to the Wests backline and Sam Green had a good game directing traffic and he is quite good at goal...

PIH. You are absolutely correct in your statement. I have every confidence that Wests President Tony Buckley is putting into action a plan that will have these thoughts and guidelines in place. Buckley has worked very hard to bolster the club and has a very creditable record at juniors when...

I have watched Scott Gale since school days and while he is a fine young man he is essentially a HB that is good sitting behind a dominant forward pack. He has a good pass but really has not ever been tested when the going gets tough. We used to say he had the cleanest jersey on the field when...

Thanks guys for your input and welcome Tight loose for your first post. In answer to Jets post I agree with your assertion that you need to score points to gain a win. The team has forgone easy penalties shots to concentrate on tries. Sadly they do not have the firepower to get over the...

After last saturday I have new found confidence that Wests Prem Colts will win a game before the seasons out. I care not about the score on the weekend but I was pleased with the way the Wests prem colts fought out the game. Even though they were outgunned there was a new found sense of grit...

On another note doesn't anyone care about Prem Colts in Qld. I wrote a couple of times on a thread but I now see where this has been taken down and no one is reporting on Colts in Qld. Could this be why club rugby has some issues, we should be commenting on Colts as these boys are the future...

On the Wests match I thought that the Wests scrum was dominant but Brothers won the game with superior backs. A couple of things that I noted is that the ball didn't seem to get to Wests speedy wingers very often the Wests backline was shut down. I think that Sam Green is still very green...

I watched the Junior WC match V the Baby blacks yesterday and was astounded to not see Phil Kyte as one of the starting props and said to myself surely he must be on the bench, but no he was not even in the team!!!!!. And I critically watched both halfbacks for the Junior wallabies and was not...

A while ago in the seventies a young aboriginal boy named Ella stood up flat in the line to receive the pass from the HB and from then the style of playing attacking rugby changed. Prior to this Fly halves stood deep and attacked from deep within the field of play. In the modern game standing...

I'll be going to Wests V Sunny Coast at the Kennel and hoping for a good result in both Prem Colts and Seniors. I'll try and report on both next week to stimulate some discussion

Well I was at the Wests V Breakers Game and Wests went down again I think the score was 23 - 3 and although Wests peppered the line in the second half they were unable to convert pressure into points. The Breakers had some handy players the number 6 was OK and they had some speed out wide that...

I'm going to the Wests V Breakers game on Saturday and I'll endeavour to post a report when I get back on Monday. There seems to be a lack of reporting on Colts games on this site, I would have thought that there would be ample fathers out there reporting and pumping up their sons as this is...

Like Scott Allen I was at the Wests V GPS game, firstly I watched Prem Colts, GPS won in a fairly tough contest close scores, Wests need to iron out some technicalities with their backline but this was the best side they have presented this year. GPS were just too strong out wide. Special...

Watched a bit of Prem grade and came to the conclusion that Brothers were superior out wide, far too much speed for the Dogs. I thought that the HB (Tim) in the first half was better than Genia and gave Green a little more space to move, but it was all over by the time Genia got on the field...

The colts game was hard to judge they had mixed up teams, Of the Wests players that stood out in Prem colts was the HB the inside centre, and the number eight, the flyhalf was OK. Wests did not have a backline of note outside of the inside centre, and that caused them some problems, (you cant...

I watched the colts game on Saturday Wests V Norths first and then went over to the prems to see how Green and Genia would go. Green went OK he was solid and played well. However Genia was not what I would call a good HB, standing 5 metres from the ruck and telling your forwards to take it up...
