Personally think you gave a few eddies players more of a wrap than they deserve i.e Humphries, he was strong but I think he looked better due to some poor defense. The game was dominated by penalties and errors by ashgrove which gave eddies ample opportunities which they made the most of. Eddies played a very simple game which seemed to work very well for them which is obvious with the score. They did show weaknesses though with ashgroves fullback as you explained slicing through there centers defense multiple times. A good game overall I thought with the conditions on hand, which eddies deserved to win they played better and I cant really see them being beat this season.
Iona and VillaWho has peters lost too so far? Iona and who else?
My Predictions from the start of the season, forwards really hard to choose but backs pretty easy to pick at this point and time
AIC 1
1. Afele - SEC
2.
3.
4. McCully - SEC
5.
6. Tully - SEC
7. Clarke - ASHGROVE
8. Wilkin - IONA
9. Turner - SEC
10. Turpin - SEC
11.Lund - SEC
12. Junior / Turpin - SPC / SEC
13. Humphrey's - SEC
14. Devine - ASHGROVE
15. Setu - SEC
Agreed with setu being a bit small but there is no other person in this competition dominating as much as he is. Inside is a bit hard to choose but Turpin at 10 would be smart with having junior also playing 12 this year. Hard to pick the forwards but there are forwards that can play in this competition this year. Backs are fast and can shift. Wingers hard to choose but there is not many people that can match the speed of Lund from SEC and you have to have Devine in the team so putting him there would work well.
But i think if they played junior 7 thy wouldn't completely drop Clarke considering he was AIC 1 last yearAgreed, the guy played Australian Schoolboys last year. Anyone who thinks he won't be in his preferred position somewhere in the backrow is kidding themselves.
Andrew Tully is number 6. He came off injured in the first half. The number 7 for eddies this season has been Jacob Lindsey. He was been out standing although lineout throwing isn't up to scratch.
Standings after round 3 are:
Round 4 fixtures:
VILL vs. ASH
IONA vs. SLC
SPC vs. PAD
SEC vs. SPLC
Predictions;
Villa by 2
Iona by 30+
SPC by 10
SPLC by 5
Are you completely sure, can anyone else confirm this? someone else pointed this out to me this week. Going off the match schedules the schools provide I've seen Tully listed as 7 and Lindsey listed at 6 do they just like to trade jerseys or is the info wrong? If so I've been crediting Lindsey as Tully the last 2 games.
Jacob Lindsey is the number 7 and Tully may not be playing the rest of the season because of the injury he sustained on Saturday. ALSO the likes of Eddies players to play AIC is unlikely because alot of them boy's want to compete in confro this year. The only boys that I see wanting to play AIC is Ryan Mcully, Dan Turner and maybe Clifton Setu. The rest of the boy's are League player's.
Whats confro? is that the Broncos league comp for high schools?
It is the most formidable School boy Rugby League Carnival in Australia and Eddies alway's have a team that goes.Whats confro? is that the Broncos league comp for high schools?
How do they pick AIC 2?
Did anyone see the Peter's and Padua game 2 weeks ago? Some of the Peter's backs are very effective and have played cultural representive footy at a high level. Bennent, Enoch, Sovori, Henley, there Number 8, Mullins, Laurie! These have unbelievable talent and skill. So I hope selecters can watch these boys play. Also the speed this back line is great, especially Henley and Number 14 (Hansen) the Peters AIC swim captain. Really looking ofrward to the game this weekned against SEC!
