Big win for Padua that... very short turn around after Tuesday's game and today's weather played right into Laurie's playing style. I do feel on a dry track they would have run away with it.
Hey Barry,
No Damon Humphrys either which makes it even more impressive, kids one of a kind. He’s a very skilful 10 with some toe and some boot which is a big part of his game, can’t wait for the final showdown in round 7. I’m backing Marist to win here after seeing the scoreline they put on Eddie’s today, they’re a good attacking side as seen over the season.

Tough conditions and a big Old Boys crowd at Marist all worked against Eddie’s. Didn’t help that they were 19-0 after 15mins. Hard to comeback from that.

Hard crowd to play in-front of, Marist has a big history for rugby. Eddie’s have been shocking especially since that premiership in 2014 they have only seen a top 3 once in the last 10 years (2022). Now I feel they are considered to be the ‘Easy Beats’ the score lines have been Shocking against the top sides over the years. What could it be a reflection of?

Eddie’s beat St Pat’s last week and have Peter’s this coming week. They won’t finish bottom of the table.
School rugby programs are a challenge to manage, there are no quick fixes.

It’s a shame Eddies aren’t as strong as they were in previous. I hear they are another victim of a GPS raid (IGS) and many of the top line league players are going to Ipswich State High for their league program.

Laurie's very one dimensional against Padua. Iona must be disappointed in their season. Usually one of the front runners.
Laurie's have been 1 dimensional the last 5 years... they had the perfect players to execute that plan during their 3 peat though then Ash and Pad figured out how to stop their Saffa style last year.

Rumour going around that once Iona lost to Ash and Pad in rounds 1 and 2 the boys checked out with a few of the better Leaguies refusing to play + injuries.
