Very entertaining game at Ross Oval today. Possibly not played at the highest level, as it was scrappy at times, however the commitment from both sides could not be questioned. Nudgee forward pack was very good, scrum was solid and had BBC scrum under pressure numerous times. No8 for Nudgee Maclean Jones IMO was man of the match by a long way, had a storming game, with the rest of the pack all doing their job well. BBC forward pack, who had a definite size advantage, competed well with their No 8 probably their standout. Nudgee backline definitely lacked some spark other than Tuttle at 10 and Magnay at 13. Not quite sure why Hussey is playing in the 2nds, they seriously lack speed out wide. BBC backline was pedestrian other than the 15, who looked like he could split the game wide open at any time. Wilkins at 13, even though he scored two tries, was easily held by the NC backline with Magnay all over him when he received the ball. It is looking more than likely that the game against TSS in round 4 will have a huge bearing on the premership. My prediction is TSS will go the year unbeaten. One final point, 14A Nudgee team beat BBC 15-5 after winnng last year by at least 60 points in the 13's. Apparently 13 of the 15 players were new this year for 14A BBC team, they must be spending some serious money. And yes first loss for the 15A Nudgee side today against BBC, their recruiters must be doing a good job.
