Barker 2nds defend extremely well especially for a 2nds team.... Unfortunately that's only half the game.

Looks like a few new Barker boys out there Rod. The Barker push for rugby world domination continues. Lovely rugby at least. Nudgee on top at the moment.

In the firsts, Nudgee lead Barker 12/7 at HT

Nudgee can’t win a scrum or lineout.. but somehow still in the lead. Oh wait.. barker try.

Nudgee running away with it now despite no scrum or lineout possession.

I cannot understand how a defending team scrum going backwards on rollerscates receive 2 penalties. Barker hard done by. But the Nudgee backs were slick. 2 quick taps lead to decisive tries.

Some of the Barker community commentary that can be heard on the camera leaves a lot to be desired.

U 19 scrum laws rod. You can’t push more than 1.5 metres.

Never understood this rule. What kind of game punishes dominance?

The same game that disallows obstruction until you do it from a lineout and call it a maul.

It's a safety issue, made necessary by the kind of mismatch you'll see when Barker next plays St Aloysius.

Seems like barkers backline defence will again be there Achilles heel.

Rod,
Sad to see Ned Slack Smith still having issues with concussion. I wonder if it goes back to when Barker played him the week after getting a blue card? Hopefully no long term issues.

I have not been in touch with Ned for some time. I am not sure what the concussion was from.

Just watching a replay of the Barker Nudgee game. The Nudgee pack is bigger but this did not lead to set piece dominance. The Butcher stripes line out was rusty and the scrum was regularly under pressure. What helped Nudgee was the soft but legitimate penalties Barker gave away. The Nudgee back line especially from the centres out were slicker and more penetrating than Barkers. Barker crossed the line just on HT but the ref did not award a try. Must have been a small knock on or forward pass that was not evident in the video. I recognised the majority of the Reds forward pack from last year so there is not many new kids in this team. Last years 1st XV was very young. I liked what I saw from the Reds. Nudgee is a scholarship team and have the best rugby program in Qld. The scoreline of 29/19 did not reflect the closeness of the game but Nudgee deserved to win. Just.

Very poor comment RR, using a sad situation just to Barker Bash

If that was what the Ref was penalising then should have been free kicks not full arm penalties according to the law book. Was notiable that Nudgee were running scared of the Barker scrum opting to take line outs rather that scrums after the Barker not straights.
