6-0 Bears after first 20. Mawene Hiroti scored after a good backline movement started by coner Tracey and great ball from Burns and great hands by Hiroti. Arthur’s converts from sideline. Burns taken off after 16mins looked fit, had a good defensive half, did nothing wrong.

 

[ThingFish]

Sloppy so far by both teams. Tracey has sold some classic hospital passes, but looks to be running freely.

Interesting at quarter time Seibold pulled the 6,7 and 9 aside for a private talk.

That's to be expected as he hasn't played footy in 2 years.

It'll take him half a season to find his feet.

He’s doing a great job of attacking the line.

6-6 2nd quarter. Some dude scored for Wenty and another kicked it.

Burns played full quarter.

Played with a good defensive structure in first quarter. Has fallen apart as a multiple replacements are being made.

Uneventful quarter. Arthurs is playing a good defensive fullback roll. Held the ball a little too long in attack.

 

[ThingFish]

Still 6-6 end of 3rd quarter. Has turned into a real bludger of a game. Hiroti had a nice 40-50 meter run. He has some toe. Burns came off after 10min. He had a solid game. Combined well with Hiroti in attack and defense, forced two into touch early on.

Thanks for the updates Fishy, it's good to hear and it doesn't suprise me about Hiroti. He's from the mighty Naki over here so I expect nothing less!

 

[ThingFish]

Tracey came off late, not through injury. Getting plenty of hugs from players during the break. I’d say that’s his night. Solid outing for a 2yr break. Definetly a running half. Yep Burns, Talakai, Tracey off. Bunch of reserves with the same numbers on. Makes it hard after a few

 

[ThingFish]

It’s like as soon as they hit the 20m line it’s a signal to drop the ball

Wenty up 12-6 with 4 to play

 

[ThingFish]

Jessie Arthurs finally threw a pass and it was a 15m cut out blinder to I’m not sure who. So many players with same numbers. Then he converts a beauty 12-12 1min to go.

 

[ThingFish]

12-12 FT I need a beer after that. Excruciating

Thanks for all the updates thingfish! Absolute legend.

 

[ThingFish]

Coolest moment. Conor Tracey come bolting over to his Parents and GF and says to them “take a picture with me, it’s my comeback picture”

Is he signed with us for 2019???

I can see him playing first grade for us... (on the wing though)

Handy goal kicker by the sounds of it too....

He’s in the team on the web site. He was very solid the whole 80 in D, positioned himself well. In the second quarter he chimed into the backline with pace. Both times with overlaps but went for it himself. But that long looping cut-out pass in the death was something else. Plus two sideline conversations. I was right behind him for the second and it never looked like missing.
