Round 9 Tips

New going like a lot of schools in depth with soccer and AFL coming in,not looking too promising for the future of Australian rugby really.
Part of problem maybe the recruiting which has had lots of airtime, as kids getting dumped after playing years in the A's then dropped the last two years ,so they start looking at other sports,specially AFL.
Had pleasure to watch the Scots juggernaut on the week end, it was 47`0 at half time , as stated before they took off 3 stars ,Strang ,Mcauley,and Smith 2 min after half time when they scored again.It was men versus boys, Smith and Strang ran riot,the backs got great go forward ball and the backs did the rest.It would have been 100 points at this rate if they had not replaced more of their good players and i am pretty sure Scots didn't want the publicity again like the last time they thrashed Newington by 100 and open up that Hornet's nest .A depleted Shore team missing 7 players and then lost 12 Sinclair in first couple of minutes were no match.Captain Bragg tried hard up front as did their young year 10 prop Luke Edwards who has a big future .#13 Patrick was their best out back with some strong penetrating runs, would be interesting to see him perform in a strong team with good go forward ball.Shore 2nds had a good win would hope to see some changes at Shore but don't think the coaches have a clue what to do now .Corbett and Sam Allen return this week which should bolster the ranks a little.
Another two weeks of pain for the Shore supporters as New and Joeys are on radar next, Joeys are in top form at present pity we don't have Grand Final play offs , how good would that be !

I think it is a testament to a great competition when at this stage of the year 7 points 'for' and 5 points 'against' separate the top 3 teams.. as a Joeys supporter the rugby has been entertaining to watch every week, and all the boys need to be congratulated from all schools.

Azzuri, I will respectfully disagree with your tips this week! But we can meet up in the Dining Room post game to share a pie, or a sandwich, or a cream cake to either celebrate or commiserate before heading down to Jacks Bar. That's where the real Rugby Mums (all 15 of them) shine but don't stand in the way of them and a bottle of champagne with their finely honed rucking skills.

Game on big fella!

Near-full footage of the Joeys v New 1st's game for anyone interested. Sensational hot day, was looking into the sun but with some cooling gusts of wind blowing right to left (enough to mess up some line out throws).

Sidestepped, will you be at Northbridge on Saturday?

Hey Az,
Sounds like you better bring with you your chain-mail meshing, largest shield and your 6-foot broadsword!

Beard ... Agree the top 3 teams are playing outstanding rugby and are a pleasure to watch, problem is it is now a 2 tier comp really, recruiters and Joey's versus the rest. Also Scots would have another 50 points in the "FOR" column if they didn't take their Aussie rep players off in the 2nd half, looks like the Mercy Rule has come into GPS rugby.

Great work Sidesteppa - I am particularly liking the new feature of Replays and some of your choice music.

Well the mercy rule was officially introduced this year I believe, Joeys have been playing it.... our 3rds finished against High 1st XV with 12 men.... and I believe there was one of the lower grade games when the boys finished with 9 v 15 and still managed a nil against.

but I do take your point about the 50. but I think over the next two weeks New then Joeys will be facing a similar situation.

Agree Beard, Both these teams could run up cricket scores, but i dont think they will be as generous as Scots and taking players off.
Is Kennewll out for long does anyone know, and what happened to the 5/8 before kick off ?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Simon Kennewell is scheduled to depart to the Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa very soon.

Will he be out of Team Rehab by then?

@RM2....it's Ok if you disagree with me, I can't force you to be right.. and you mean to tell me there are RM's 1 and 3-15 just sitting in the wings waiting to hose down their body weight in "one legged trouser dance tonic".

As for being the last line of defense between a pack of thirsty Joey's RM's in sharpened cerise and blue stiletto's and a bottle of shampoo, no problem!....as Caligula used to say......bring on the rucking!

See you at the game!

indeed CJ....RM2 presents as a formidable opponent and feel I'm being lured into a trap like a hapless and defenseless dormouse....

 

[Rugby Mum 2]

Better believe it Azzuri….we are quite nice after the footy generally but with a a win (to us not agin us) combined with alcohol could turn Jacks into a massacre….be warned.

And sensible shoes only at the footy, stilettos have made too many chiropractors rich.
