NRC Round 5: Rams v QLD Country

[Pfitzy]

Concord Oval, 3PM Saturday 24th September.

Fuck! We're nearly through September! Tempus fugit.

Anyway, I'm most likely going to be there to see the Rams hopefully get their first win of the season.

I'd encourage everyone to get along, because we need a better crowd than what we had last time. Yes, its a shit ground to get to. Yes, its a bloody wind farm at times. But the boys NEED us to put a bit of money in the till and help keep the momentum going.

After all, we're the most entertaining bloody team in the comp!

Weather forecast is reasonable at the moment, so bar up and get there.

I'm currently smothering with a head cold but I'll hopefully be on the mend by Saturday. If so, I'll make the trek in from the outer suburbs.

Hopefully there will be a decent crowd and even more hopefully ..... the fridge will be stocked with Asahi again!

 

[Pfitzy]

More importantly, we need to meet up! Its the first day of a 10-day leave stretch for me, and after the bunfight that was driving last time, I think I'll go public transport.

That means beer.

 

[Lindommer]

Pfitzy and I will be parked in our usual spot, that's about halfway up the stands dead on the centre-line. Look for a dazzling dome (preferably through thick sunnies) alongside the world's most magnificent mo. Come and make yerselves known.

I'll be broadcasting scores, as usual.

keep an eye on the young lock coming off the bench for QLD Country. Heard he's got promise.

Any word on why perese is out? He's a big loss for country and I'm not sure they've got the fire-power to get it done without him.

he was injured last week. Not sure exactly what or for how long

 

[GunnerDownUnder]

Not sure what game is getting moved, but the Eagles game to be played at 1pm at Concord so its an NRC double header!!!!

 

[Pfitzy]

All good things. All. Good. Things.

 

[Lindommer]

Back on deck for round 2. Amy Perrett's providing the whistle. Country kicked off and stay camped in the Rams 22. McNamara goes over in the corner. QC (Quade Cooper) 8 Rams 0

Play underway now

A bit earlier:

 

[Lindommer]

Rams keep play in QC (Quade Cooper)'s half after the kickoff, win a penalty in the 22m.

 

[Lindommer]

Asquith goes for a good run but can't link with anyone, play breaks down on the QC (Quade Cooper) 22m. 11mins gone.

 

[Lindommer]

Rams (might've) gone over next to the posts. TMO deciding, no try, ref was playing advantage, penalty to the Rams. Scrum 5m out.

 

[Lindommer]

NOW Rams go over next to the posts. 6-6, my error on the earlier score.

 

[Lindommer]

Asquith not up to it even at this level, poor options, woeful passing. Speed of mind much too slow. QC (Quade Cooper) Banks goes over next to the posts. 6-14, 18mins gone.
