Will that mean the Reds first win this season?

Cabra have plenty of depth. Aiga and Rimmer returned to the club mid season and Trent Trotter came over from Cronulla and Alan Burns appears to be back from about 9 weeks out.

But funnily enough the Reds should have won the first time but the ref put 2 players in the bin within a minute.

Reds Lose a Tough One in Rockingham

On a wet and windy night in Rockingham the Reds were tested by the elements and Cabramatta Blues but could not get up against a well drilled side. Going down 12 to 24 the spirit shown by the team was strong.
Coming off a week when the coach Chris Dever stood down, the team was able to put up a good show against the second placed Cabramatta. They had plenty of the ball but did not make the most of the opportunities available.
Stand in Coach Justin Nixon believes it was the errors at crucial times which cost them the game. “We had enough of the ball but we failed to make the right decisions to win, there were some good passages, but again we needed to be consistent over the full 80 minutes”.
It was a good first half with the Reds and Blues both going at it together. The Blues scored three tries before the Reds scored, but it was the Reds doing all the attacking from the 20 minute mark.
The best play of the half went to Cabramatta who took the ball on the second tackle at the 30 metre line and kept passing off without giving the Reds a chance. Eventually they crossed the line after stretching the Reds defense.
At 36 minutes Jason Godecke crossed for the Reds after an intercept by Gareth Morton who followed up kicking forward and chasing the ball down to the 30 metre line. Morton then converted from out wide with a good kick despite a very strong cross wind.
After the break the Blues came out to put their stamp on the game and were able to get to 18 points after 7 minutes, but it was answered soon after with another solid break by Morton who was able to get the ball out to a clear Ryan Dickson ending up with Delane Edwards out wide for another try.
In poor conditions the Reds allowed another soft try to put the score out to 12 to 24. After that the Blues held up play as often as they could to slow the game down and keep out a determined Reds outfit.
A bit of spite entered the game for the final ten minutes after Isaac Thomas was put down solidly and had to leave the field. But it was the Reds who never gave up and showed the local crowd they are determined to turn the season around, but they just couldn’t break through a resolute Blues.
The Reds had a good spread of players with Isaac Thomas, Jon Phipps, Gareth Morton and Aaron Barnes showing the best form.
The Reds have another home game against the Campbelltown Eagles next Saturday at Charles Riley Reserve in North Beach.

Cabra have to hot favourites now. There were a couple of upsets today. Mounties and the Bulls kept their finals hopes alive in must win games. The last score I heard from Windsor had Mounties in front 36-18 with 10 minutes to go and the Bulls beat Brothers 28-6.

were in the Buisness End of the Season, & I Noticed the 'Big Gun' Clubs are Starting to Stamp their Authority on the Comp.. with 4 Rounds Remaining..i would'nt say Cabra are.. ' Hot Favourites ' ..we are just Starting to find some form.. we face Wenty Magpies next Game & They are Quite capable of Beating Any Team in the 'BRC ' . I Still Regard Wenty Magpies As a Major Threat if they make the Semi's & The Bulls have Found some Late Season form Also.. That Combination between Tippett & Little is Finally Gelling Together. we have Four Tough Remaining Matches Against Wenty magpies[away]...The Bulls[home].. Windsor[away].. &..Brothers[away].. Providing we can stay 'Injury Free or keep Injuries to a Minimum.. were in there with a 'Good Shot' for the Semi's !!!....................

What's happened to Brothers? They were looking really good but have fallen away badly

Roland · #**269** 06-07-2009, 08:52 AM

It is hard to say whether Brothers have fallen away. In the first 10 games they won 7 and lost to Wenty, Bulls and Windsor in games that were weeks apart. In the last 3 weeks they played the same 3 teams and got the same result. In this cut throat comp one loss can see you drop 3 places so 3 in a row puts them in real danger.

Darren Baker has not played last 2 games so it would be like Windsor without Tricky. He killed them yesterday.
A few other injuries also have not helped.
But not bad for a team made up of players from their A grade side over the last 2 years and a few from Penriths 20's squad.
They have been in most games that they have lost.

I am sure there budget isn't as big as some of the leagues club backed teams who dominate the top 1/2 of the draw.
