To top it off the stand in coach thought his backs were impressive. Someone get that rookie the tape of the game so he can see just how impressive they were'NT! I am a die hard Breakers supporter but being positive is one thing totally blind is another. Turn it up coach or go back to club rugby!

Thanks for the report Tigerland. Sounds to me like Paraka is holding his own against grown men, so that would augur well for his future. There is some good young cattle in the Easts forward pack. Like Dan54 I'm also glad to see Wilder went well. His glide and evasiveness in attack is very underrated.

Yep Sully,lol just don't know if I can put 3rd tier on our games .lol boys would kill me!! Actually boys went bloody well against the Bank on Sat, I actually thought in opening 10 minutes we were going to really struggle, S'bank looked very sharp, and pretty sizeable in backline, but Logan I thought soaked up early pressure, adjusted their game and played some good rugby. Score was 17-7 at halftime, and Sbank definitely were on top in 2nd half ,but Logan boys have obviously worked on defence at training and held them out well. We got a couple of players came over from Redlands who are looking not to bad, and James Sua ex Reds/Manawatu etc player has come back to club after many years, so look not bad. I really also like the play of our 10, he been with club all his life, he real skilled, reads game well (actually Marto's nephew so perhaps in blood) and could quite easily play at higher level I think.
Logan out enthused Sunnybank on Saturday. They played a committed aggressive style and deservedly came out on top. Sunnybank missed some opportunities early on but it was a credit to Logan that they sustained the pressure and when they had the opportunity the managed to score. The score was 17-7 at halftime but that favoured the home team as the visitors left points on the field as their kicker missed at least 3 shots at goal and a couple of try scoring opportunities went begging. Logan then put in a really good defensive effort in the second half to hold out Sunnybank who couldn't manage to score.
The 7 for Logan had an outstanding game and was responsible for a number of turnovers. Sua also had a big influence on the game and seemed to have a calming influence on the rest of the team.

In Premier grade Sunnybank came out all guns firing after their disappointing outing on Tuesday night. They scored 3 tries in the opening half and look crisp and precise in most areas of the game to take a 30-0 lead into the half. After half time Sunnybank crossed for their fourth try and secured the bonus point but then seemed to switch off and tried to play some razzle dazzle rugby. They stopped doing the simple things, like clearing out at the breakdown and not trying to throw miracle passes. As a result they turned over a lot of ball. With the increase in possession the Stingrays looked a more composed team and managed to cross for 3 tries, one a 70m intercept. Sunnybank had the final say in the match with a try at the end that couple have gone either way. The Stingrays winger went for the intercept and must have been close to pulling it off but the ball ended up in the hands of the Dragons winger who strolled over to end the game 44-21.

How is Dion Taumata controlling things for Sunnybank Jets? And has Waita Setu gotten much game time aswell?
Dion Taumata was great with the boot. His kicking game both at goal and out of hand are great. He also seems to take the option to run when the defence over commit to presuring his kick.
Waita Setu played off the bench in reserve grade and looked very promising for someone who has spent the majority of his tim playing league since leaving school. I expect he will be pushing for a start in Premier in the coming weeks.

Sunnybank no 8 Ed Langi is 36. That would have to be close to the oldest Prem player.

Jets I do believe you are right - lets hope his chicken legs can get him past the current record holder.
And that would be the one and only T Sampson on 173 I believe, followed closely by his good mate D McConaghy on 167 (?).
What a loss that was to lose him to the tigers. Hopefully he will return to the Den one day soon.
