It’s not over

 

[rod skellet]

FT Barker win a thriller

 

[rod skellet]

Credit to New. They are a very good side

 

[Eyes Up Footy]

Cranbrook seal it with a long range Allen try. 17 - 5 FT

 

[Snort]

17-12 to Trinity. Was 17-0 before a lot of changes made the game scrappy. Late Pius intercept made it look closer than it was. Trinity’s third try was scored (I’m told) by an Edmed. Bad news for Trinity is hooker Meagher off with a shoulder injury. Doesn’t look good.

 

[FoleyBealeFolau]

60 meter try from Jaxson Allen puts the nail in the coffin 17-5 to Cranbrook

 

[Snort]

Thoughts on Trinity-Pius. In the first half, Trinity's backs looked really sharp - one centre, Fraser I think, looked very dangerous, But the forwards supplied only scrappy ball and were penalised repeatedly at the breakdown. You got the sense that with more ball, Trinity would have cut loose. In the second half, Trinity built a 17-0 lead. But against better sides, they'll need to string more phases together. Pius stuck to their task and were rewarded with two late tries. Hatton-Ward has great vision and with more and cleaner ball would be a treat to watch.

The No3 did a lot of damage running out wide.

Trinity needs to do a lot of work on its ball retention and discipline in the forwards. But a win's a win and on balance they'll be happy. Although a lot of their go-forward came from Meagher and if he's out for an extended period, that's a problem.

Going on todays results I think the CAS comp will go down to the wire in the final game of the season. Barker v Knox at Knox

 

[Snort]

Very quiet from WLF…

 

[rod skellet]

Knox at home will be favourites. They are clearly fit . dominating the second half of both trials against GPS sides.

Knox at home will be favourites. They are clearly fit . dominating the second half of both trials against GPS sides.

What was the score in Knox’s game

 

[Snort]

I think Knox beat Shore 40-24. Riverview beat Waverley 38-19, according to the GPS thread.

 

[WLF3]

Very quiet from WLF…

Hi Snort, just got home from Riverview.

The better side won no doubt. Waves had lots of new boys in today, 6 out of the 1sts, but at this stage can't see them challenging Knox or Barker.
Very disappointing. Can't see View Challenging Kings, New etc, but again, there is a long way to go.

Happy to see Trinity ,Cranbrook and Aloys win today!
It was CAS day today, with 1 exception.
