Maul of Duty

Peter Burge (5)
They’ve always had excellent backs and their forwards gave them plenty of ball.
Despite weather was great conditions for fast backs play.
Defensive effort from Kings was (reviews schools thread guidelines) a good opportunity for improvement.
Cost them the game, not taking anything away from New who were scintillating but some of the tackling was, well, schoolboyish!
Yes, Kings backline defence did not get the job done today. Luckily their forwards were solid otherwise the score line would have been much worse for the Kingsmen

A short summary of the Joeys View game.

View controlled the first half. This was abley assisted by some of the officiating which was at times pedantic for both teams. View won hands down the kicking contest that Joeys seemed happy to participate in. Views forwards were more dominant as well. The first try was typically view, rolling a ball behind to get the chase. The second was terrible defence from joeys who had 4 players around a mid field bomb and let it bounce and bounce again for it to be swooped on to score on the bell. Every time joeys had the ball in the first half they either dropped it, were penalised or kicked it. All within the joeys half, often within the Joeys 22. The try they scored was the only visit to views 22, and they almost stuffed it.

At half time, looked like view were being gifted the chocolates inclusive of the box.

Second half saw an unfortunate kick off for view resulting in Joeys gaining a scrum deep in their 22, View infringed, and Joeys took the Tap and barged over thanks to a nice switch play with the backs.

The second that gave them the lead they worked it through the forwards. Joeys classy backs were nowhere to be found as View flooded the outside channels. The Joeys 12 was given some room and did take all on offer. The kicking game in the second half was more even and while you felt view was ontop in the forwards, it was not by much and they did not really trouble the joeys defence that much.

There was a moment in the second half where the View View play ducked and weaved and caught a joeys arm and joeys were fortunate that they were not down to 14 men with 11 to go. Having said that View was not troubling the joeys defence and to be fair, Joeys was not really troubling the view defence either.

A tight Contest, with View willing, but, Joeys, just had a touch more class when it mattered. The score was reflective of the game.

Good summary. Still amazed the Joeys player who instinctively coat hangered the View No. 9 in the second half didn’t get a yellow card. Officials also missed a crucial knock on 20m out from Joeys line after View 15 chased his own kick and put a massive shot on Joeys player who caught it. Hard to say who deserved to win it but records will show Joeys did so that’s all that matters.

Ref also missed about 5 Riverview players not retreating when kick went up. It all evens out.

Look, Not the greatest officiating performance I have seen. Consistently inconsistent would be a good summary. In that game we could all find things. The breakdown was a mess. On the coathanger, and it was that. The View player ducked and weaved and the joeys player stuck his arm out. As a old ref for me was yellow but, the kid was moving too. On the high Ball Yep, the Joeys player lost it but backwards. So I did not have an issue on that one. It was clear. In front of me.

Cracker of a day at Northbridge today.
Got there for the 16A game-
For the first time I have ever seen it ended in a 0-0 draw. Very even game and pretty much stayed in the middle of the field the whole game.
2nds was predictable and I could see Scots winning the prem easily.
1sts was a great game and the Shore v Scots crowd was a good one. They were going back and forth the whole game and I didn’t see the Shore boys sit down once. Good to see Shore back on the board and dissapointing to see Scots season pretty much over.
