Just catching up on the replays from the weekend.
Geez, GT are bloody brave! They are (IMO) 1 tight forward and 1 outside back away from being a force. Their back row trio are among the top trios in the comp. I would have to say young Hales at 9 is probably the form 9 in the comp and has been a pleasure to watch. Because he takes the line on those bigger forwards in close can never relax.
The Nudgee set piece does not get the wraps it deserves in my opinion. Just like Hales, I would have to say young Isaac Rauluni would have to be one of most consistent props in the comp and were it not for Uys and Grenfell who always get the headlines, Rauluni would be getting a lot more air time.
My next take, if you’re a forward in either the TSS or Churchie camps you’d deadset be pulling your hair out with the lackadaisical or in Churchie’s case, absolute refusal to kick the ball to either release pressure or consolidate. Churchie and TSS forwards create so many opportunities which just go to waste by not kicking, or wasteful or woeful kicking, it is bloody hard to watch. You can tell these squads have a lot of younger lads in the way they are not able to manage this side of the game.
You have to admire the balance in approach by the BBC, State High and NC outfits, they play good hard basic footy, they play in the right areas of the field which conserves energy and when they win opportunities up front, very rarely do they waste them out the back. Boakes (State High) bravo!! Kennedy (BBC) bravo!! O’Connell bravo!!!
Was very sad BGS was not able to get off the mark over the weekend but you could tell TGS were not gonna go home without that elusive victory on the weekend and certainly played like their lives depended on it.
