Sad to see the Kings 1st XV lose to New 1st XV this Saturday at the White Oval on the weekend, here are my thoughts on the game...
Kings:
Hugo Kable (#15) - Played an exceptional game, a couple of meat pies and a very courageous defensive effort from the temporary fullback, had a cracking game and would have scored some serious fantasy points.
Hasani Bloomfield (#3) - Has been on a roll of playing some amazing footy, on the weekend he just didn't receive the ball enough, eventually TKS suffered as they didn't have one of their stronger ball carriers running hard and lethal lines.
Newington:
Hemasi (#11) - Had an absolute blinder on Saturday scoring a try and running a muck on the wing, due to his size and speed he was breezing past the Kings backs and giving the "dont argue" to a couple. Overall a great effort and an amazing game from the young man.
Newington #15 (not sure of his name) - This young fella who lacks size had ticker and a handy skillset to go alongside that, scoring a try in the slippery conditions of the White Oval. He was involved in many of Newington's successful backline plays and was everywhere.
Overall:
The Kings vs New matchup ( Oldest rivalry in GPS) was another try packed game with exciting elements throughout the whole game. The Kings boys unfortunately couldn't stick their tackles and couldn't capitalise on the few chances that were presented to them. Overall I think the TKS rugby program is still on the up, although the 16A's have had a tough few weeks , they are missing many players but still have talent, especially that forward pack. And also the players playing up: Matthews, Davies, Taylor, El Kurdi, Risati, Bloomfield, Smith.
The New boys on the other hand, played exceptional. There flow was great, the backs were in unison and playing to the best of their ability. One of Newingtons better games this season, especially after the draw in the pre season battle between the both of them.
Good news is...
We will see the Kings vs New battle again, only at Stanmore airport. How exciting...
