Geez those trinity front rowers can motor. Did I see Cam Orr in the clear and try a chip and chase over the fullback? Seems very skillful. And the 15 yr old big boppa that comes on the last 10 mins of a match showed great impact. Only in year 10 and from what I heard from his parents is 114kg. Could be an adequate replacement for Sio for next year with Jamo Clark calling the shots at flyhalf.
All true. Morsello also made one extraordinary run down the sideline. Cam Orr is a really intersting prospect, as is Jamo Clark. And there's some good young talent to back them up.
Mind you, that guarantees nothing. There have been plenty of teams that did well one year, had several players returning the next, and didn't perform well (ask Newington this year). Debreczini has been pretty vital to this Trinity side, and while Clark is a great prospect, he's a different kind of player. Harrison Orr was colossal yesterday, and he'll be missed. Even someone like Logan, in the centre, although not as damaging a runner as the others, gave the midfield defence a solid core that won't be easy to duplicate.
Jack Gibson used to say that nobody's scarpbook ever won a premiership. So everyone starts next year with a clean slate, and with as much opportunity as everyone else.
You had to feel a bit sorry for Knox yesterday: by the end of the game, they'd used so many replacements that they ran out of numbers. Still, they probably started the year thinking that with Clarke returning at full back, they'd have a good side. Goes to show you can't take these things for granted.
Well done to Aloysius for knocking off Waverley yesterday, not something they do all that often. Can they stop Trinity going ten from ten next week? I think the short answer is no, but I'm sure they'll put in the effort.
