Gordon!!!!!!!!

5ths win to Gordon,4ths win to Gordon, 3rds drawn, 2nds win to Gordon, firsts win to Gordon.....a great weekend for the Highlanders in grade

 

[Dave Beat]

You were a teensy weensy bit fortunate, Dave, don't you reckon?

Tight game,
But gee Wicks and Gordon - and Wests are competing as well.

 

[wamberal]

I have been waiting a long time to see Gordon beat a top team. Wests competed last year, against us!!!

It was a very satisfying day of Rugby across all grades out at Chatswood yesterday. While it’s early in the season and “0ne swallow does not a summer make” , four grafting wins and a draw against the Corporation is more than just some fortuitous alignment of planets.

How's everyone going with tipping?

I can't follow the results week to week at all. Makes for a great competition though.

Manly 41 Southern Districts 39.
A point a minute.

Will the coaches
A) put on a celebratory sausage sizzle after Tuesday's training to celebrate a fantastic attack, or
B) flog the team with defensive drills all week?

It was a very enjoyable game to watch though. Some very good attack skills on display by both teams.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Uni get their 3rd TV game

 

[Eyes and Ears]

They seem to get beaten a lot when on TV, so maybe there is some perverse pleasure in it for many viewers.

 

[The Honey Badger]

I am assuming the Uni games rate well.

I am assuming the Uni games rate well.

Possibly, although Easts used to get a lot of TV games when the ABC showed the game because Jim Maxwell lived near Woollahra Oval (and went to Scots)

 

[wamberal]

This will be a very interesting game. Frankly, I hope that the broadcaster tries to find the most attractive fixture every week. The idea of ensuring that every club gets a guernsey is a nice one, but money talks. Keep those sponsors happy!!

 

[GentleGiant]

Ladies day at Souths this weekend, should be a cracking day and hopefully a clean sweep in all grades and colts vs 2blues. hoping the issues with our 4th grade have been fixed and they can all get back to just playing rugby.

lets go souths!

should be some good games across the fixtures in shute though.

Wests to beat Gordon on back to west day
Norths to beat uni
rats to beat randwick

[I like to watch]

Rats got up in a thriller v wicks.
I heard west’s beat Gordon after the bell.
Manly came up empty v the bye

 

[wamberal]

Easts beat the Woodies at Millner. Oh, the shame.

 

[The Honey Badger]

I heard west’s beat Gordon after the bell.

Normal transmission returns to Chatswood.

Normal transmission returns to Chatswood.

It was a draw according to Fusesport.

 

[Quick Hands]

A round full of high-scoring, but very close results. 2019 looks a very even competition. I can't detect a discernable form line for any team.

Easts 29 def Eastwood 27

Uni 29 def Norths 24

WSTB 25 def Souths 24

Warringah 35 def Randwick 27

Wests and Gordon 23-23
