Agreed Wicks,saw that game yesterday,what a well drilled side Barker are,their forwards are superb all 1 through 8 especially Marais,they controlled the game with minimal errors and fantastic execution,their coaches should be applauded,they had done their homework,Paterson and O Donnell who had caused Trinity/Knox/Cranbrook such grief were denied space and oppotunity.Davis at Fullback for Barker was very light on his feet and elusive, yet they need to play to him more,possibly a game plan to play the majority of the game in the forwards,possession heavily favoured Barker and they played a tight physical game,led by Edney,Wilson and Marais,Flaherty strong yet predictable and the young flyhalf Smerdon impressed,his time will come.The two sin-bins back to back stopped the second half momentum Waverley was building,Johnson again fearsome and impressive in the forwards while Whitaker at halfback stood out behind a badly outpointed forward pack and their wingers were very good with limited opportunities.
