Did you see the game? All 4 Norths tries scored by props - not much running rugby in the backline - generally makes for a pretty tight game, could have easily gone either way with 20 to go.

Brothers looked sloppy on the weekend. Watching the replay, they seem to just crumble after South’s were giving it to them. Could put it past as a bad week for brothers but things didn't look promising, especially with brothers players just focusing on getting into a push and shove rather then their footy. Expect much better structure from such a strong club

Yes I was there. 12-10 would be tight not 26-10.

I heard one of their players got a red card??

if you listen closely you can hear the recruiting texts being sent from Crosby Road to every Norths Colts 1 player as we speak

Bit like Latrell - they are too full of self belief and lost commitment

To be fair to Brothers, sometimes teams have bad days and if they're really unlucky then the whole club has a bad day. Love a little fun at their expense though.

Wow, looks like a cracking Colts 1 competition this year with Wests, the surprise leaders and remain the only undefeated team after 6 rounds after an impressive win yesterday, against an improving GPS team at Yoku Rd.
It’s been a huge turnaround in 12 months for the Bulldogs as their Colts 2 squad is undefeated as well and currently sitting in 3rd place so the Wests Colts regime under returning club stalwart Phil Mooney, is paying dividends thus far.
With tough remaining fixtures against Brothers, Easts and Souths over the next 3 weeks to conclude Round 1, the resurgent Bulldogs are building nicely into the season and are playing some good rugby.
However, things can change very quickly with injuries etc and no doubt a few more plot twists before the end of Round 2 and the race to secure a Top 4 berth for the finals.

Have to agree but when discipline most counted they discounted
Unfortunately it goes on too much, theres not a single club innocent of dishing out abuse. Many years ago now when I was 16/17 i’d run the touchline for my dads colts team he’d coach, as driving to his rugby was my way of getting the learner hours up for driving. Just simply putting a flag up/down when a player/ball went out could carry some choice words, it was even at a point the club made complaints at 2 grounds regarding it.
EDIT - just watched the ending of that game on RX, theres no excuses for any ref abusing, but got to raise that was a pretty absurd call off that line out though
Second half of the season in Colts 1 is going to be good, halfway through and you can say there is still alot of teams in contention for finals and it is an incredibly tight competition this year.
I’m putting Norths as a smokey for the 2nd half of the season to upset the apple cart, majority of their losses have been tight affairs and even defeated an impressive Souths. I’m assuming they’ve pulled Will McCulloch into the Colts 1 from Prems to target this.

The score was only 14-7 to the filth with 6mins left. GPS shot themselves in the foot with some bad fan behavior

Clearly a GPS supporter…

The Butchery and The Glue Factory are possibly the worst behaved supporters in the comp over the years. Club presidents/committees need to step up and address the behavioural issues that continue. Refs should not have to cope that rubbish at any time. It's time some "attendance bans" are put in place on identified individuals and groups.
