NRC Rnd 3 - Sydney vs QLD Country - Woollahra Oval - Sep 14 - 12pm

[Bobby Sands]

Harrison just missed that goal but they gave him the conversion! What a crock.

Queensland set piece hasn’t been as good as it was last week, couple of turnovers.
Backline is misfiring a bit as well, lacking penetration to get over the advantage line, late scratching of CFS wouldn’t have helped

 

[Adam84]

Sydney have been slick.

They have been, but also Joey Fittock shot in off his wing a couple of occasions which presented overlaps for Sydney to score down that side

Need to sub that front row, putting themselves under pressure. That Sydney try was a result of the tighthead scrum

Francis is not quite up to it I dont think. Ozanne is much better.

Jerry Lynch hasn't looked great to me, would much prefer Wihongi.

 

[Adam84]

Yep Wihongi was much better then Lynch, thought Lynch was lucky not to be carded for leading with his shoulder cleaning out a ruck as well

 

[Up the Guts]

Far too many post contact metres for Sydney. All too easy.

 

[TSR]

I’m a big fan of an offloading game - but QC (Quade Cooper) pushing it too far in the tackle.

 

[Adam84]

Lalakai Foketi has been best back on the ground, young QLD forward pack has failed to back up their efforts of last week.

Wilson was everywhere first 30mins, seemed to have tired himself out too early though.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Hats off to Sydney, this has been an elite performance.

Do not rate the carpet, but play on!

 

[Up the Guts]

Sydney playing exactly like Uni. Dominant set piece and forwards just rolling up the centre. QLDC just don’t look like they want to be there.

Posts far too short as well.

 

[Up the Guts]

Great tackle by Ramm to shut down that play.

I think they might have underestimated this Sydney team, once Sydney got a roll of QC (Quade Cooper) have lost their structure

Daugunu is arguably the most exciting back in the NRC, and has barely touched the ball this game.

Besides the carpet, the goal posts are too short so they’re just guessing as to whether the ball went through the sticks.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Kemeny & Gamble have impressed me. Swinton too, but more so the others. Very niggly.

 

[Adam84]

QLD look much better with Paddy James in the backline

Yep, none of the changes have looked good. Ie; Lynch, Boardman, Francis.

Revert back to first choice please.

 

[Adam84]

Good game by Sydney, begrudgingly it’s good to see NSW teams performing well in the NRC and competing
