Comprehensive win by Manly. The Wicks didn't lack ticker and kept trying, but without Horwitz, Kellaway and Auvasa they had no answer to the Marlins defence. In attack the Marlins had too much go forward and pace out wide. Surely the Marlins must make the GF this year. At least the Wicks won...

When our balls were made of leather ;)

Given the fact we used to have 5 grades playing on Saturdays at the same ground I'm not sure why we can't have 4 grades plus Colts1 on the same ground with Colts2 and Colts3 playing at Latham. Unless maybe the council won't allow it???

You're probably right, but with the score at 100-0 it would seem the only thing to be gained by continuing are injuries.

Macca, I probably should have said that Uni seemed to win the critical scrums and lineouts, or received penalties from them.

Well it was 2 tries each with Hodge's 5 penalty goals and 2 conversions v 1 penalty and 1 conversion by Horwitz providing the winning margin. Uni dominated the set plays and played to the conditions more effectively than the Wicks. Wicks had a couple of good scoring opportunities early in the...

So there's 2 of us

Yes, obviously I understand that. But why did they enter a team in 1sts in the first place? Withdrawing after a few rounds just adds to the argument that Penrith would be better off playing subbies. It's sad but how long can this continue if the SRU / NSWRU are not prepared to do anything and...

A quick scan of the Wicks teams originally selected v the 2nds Colts team which took the field I can only see 4 players originally named in the 1sts team --- hardly qualifies as stacking IMO. Given the fact that Penrith withdrew after the original selections and there was probably another...

Hands up all those supporters of a club who claim to be impartial ;)

The Wicks will miss Kellaway and Faleallii with both their replacements promoted from 1sts Colts. Interesting to see how they go -- Short (half) has had some 1st grade experience off the bench and Starkey (centre) has played 1 game.

Thanks E&E, I wasn't aware of that rule until I read it in Thommo's report. You're right, I was really questioning why we have such an unfair rule. From Thommo's report it seems Wests were in front on the scoreboard all game, but the scores were still close enough that either side could have...

I don't understand how you can call a game off with 32 minutes (ie almost 1/2 the game) to go and the team leading at the time be declared the winner. How come the game is not been replayed on the June long weekend?

I see Uni have a great line up v Wicks next Saturday, assuming Uni Oval #1 survives the forecast rain over the next week: 4th grade -- 1:40pm 3rd grade -- 2:55pm 2nd grade -- 4:20pm 1st colts -- 5:55pm 1st grade -- 7:30pm (Colts 2 and 3 at St Andrews) Can't wait :D

Sounds like the mountain air sure gave you an appetite Sid ;)

Spot on Sid!

No standouts in Wicks 1sts win yesterday -- the whole team (including replacements) played well and the combination between backs and forwards was a revelation. They certainly look a different team with Horwitz at the helm and his goal kicking is improving as well. For a 20 year old to be...

Can't understand why nobody seemed to anticipate there would be a big crowd at Coogee yesterday -- Wicks won 4 in a row, beautiful day (at least until late afternoon), local derby, Anzac Day. However, you had to queue to pay for a sausage sandwich and then queue again to actually get it. The...

Wicks v Easts is on apparently, but only 1st Colts and 1st and 2nd grade at Coogee. All other games (Colts 2,3 and Grade 3,4,5) at Latham Park.

It does look that way doesn't it? I guess given the success of the Colts last year they were always going to put pressure on for grade spots this year. Ed Kennedy has been playing 1st grade but has been relegated to make way for Figg and the return of Munro, and Hanigan was the star player in...
