AIC Rugby 2011

[erossi93]

Rugby union and league are completely different games, agreed. Irrespective of the code, the team with most effective ball runners will go a long way to winning. The ashgrove vs pats game, pats had some good ball runners and some big boys - ashgrove combatted this by under commiting to the ruck to allow more numbers in the defensive line to attack these bigger runners and force turnovers and it worked. Anyone who saw the suncorp game would have noticed Lauries did a similar thing in defence and under commited at the breakdown to allow more numbers in defence to shut down the padua runners, and almost pulled it off. A good coach would have realised this and changed the point of attack to make lauries commit at the breakdown and lessen numbers in the defensive line, instead their runners kept running straight off the ruck into the awaiting defence (league style). Changing the tactics would have allowed their backs more space to attack. Theres an example of rugby smart tactics and not so rugby smart tactics.

Fair enough eagle

Ryan, Richter and Collins might have a tough time being selected for AIC 1 seeing as they are Year 11. Selectors generally favor 12's over 11's from memory

Jon Collins and his brother Tom are two of the fastest wingers i have ever seen. Jon has played 4 games with us and scored 7 tries. Now if that's not good enough i'd like to know what is.

I think Jarrod Watson will get the other wing spot. He has got size and speed, although he plays inside centre for pats he plays wing in league and pretty sure he played wing in aic 2 last year

 

[BaysideBird]

I was just thinking. Jake Salamone has had a rippa of a season and could be flanker for AIC 1. Has been injured but is coming back at the right time. Could be 6. Salamone, 7. Larkham, 8. O'Toole

 

[Rugby-1]

St Laurences Rugby

Let me tell you exactly what is wrong with St Laurence's Rugby. They have played about a 15-16 match season so far. The idea of taking the SLC men to South America, although they would disagree with this has run them into fitness and has quite possibly made them too match fit and fatigue is starting to run its course. Injuries to almost every position in the backs has put St Laurence's in a position where they are playing second or third string players in a position in the firsts. For a top grade team they have to cope with this cause it is their profession these are 16,17 and 18 year old boys who are focusing on a last year of school. I think a majority of blame goes to the coaches, sports heads and principal for proposing this so close to a season start where SLC should have come very close to premiers not very close to wooden spooners, especially after clinching so many premierships over the past 5-8 years.

And just quickly Gregg or Maloua for AIC 1. Ive seen both play and I have to say if the Lauries team was put together a bit smarter (once again blame on the coaches) I believe Gregg would out do Maloua. Just like Lauries did for the first 50 or so against Ashgrove. Maloua I dont know.

What about Shane Larkham? As number 7?

 

[Royalderry]

I believe jack creighton should be 12 - powerful ball runner and punishing in defense -

 

[rugby_09]

Has anyone thought about confro? Eddies and Padua both attend these carnivals and it will clash with state trials. Does anyone know if players such creighton and Johnson or larkman and Manu and whatnot will be attending confro over AIC?

I think St pats have got a team in aswell

 

[rugby_09]

Oh yes they do to. So that could be Watson since he has a league background. And creighton from Padua as he has a league background.

[erossi93]

Do they select a captain for aic team? If so I believe Alex Perez from Padua would be up for contention, great player and leads well. Then again I'm sure there would be other players from teams that are the same.
