Ron Massey Cup / Sydney Shield 2017

[Timmah]

I'm guessing the NSWRL moved the fixture and didn't update the squads.

In Shield there's also been a big draw amendment - Belrose/ECE which was scheduled for Round 14 is being played this weekend, Asquith/Belrose originally this weekend is now next weekend. I think this was all to allow another catch up game somewhere in the schedule but my brain hurts trying to figure out which.

In SS there still looks to be one game to be caught up - R1 Moorebank v St Marys. They both have a bye next weekend so it may well be played then.

Rescheduled matches to come in RMC:
R1 Auburn v St Marys (15 Jul at Lidcombe)
TBC - R3 Auburn v Wests - neither have a concurrent bye so this is either going to have to be midweek or abandoned.

I reckon Auburn will play Wests on 22 July

Prop Rodney Coates, who was selected in the RMC rep team but then withdrew, has now transferred to Group 11 club, Nyngan Tigers, where he joins forces with Reece Goldsmith, who was playing for Wenty earlier in the season and Stewart Mills, who has also played for Mounties in recent seasons. Half back, Chad Porter, who was also playing for Mounties earlier in the season is playing with Parkes Spacemen in Group 11.

Excellent point, hence Wenty v Auburn's game being played last weekend. Genius!

RMC

St Marys Saints 34 (T Eisenhuth 2, J Tuliatu 2, T Romer, J Hill tries; A Glanville 5 goals) def Cabramatta 30 (I Montgomery 4, T Tamou, T Ahovelo, S Kaivelata tries; B Cox goal)

Cabra are playing with a lot of passion and led for most of the game against a very professional St Marys side that has finished on the wrong side of the scoreboard only once this season. Cabra's most dangerous player, Donny Thompson, did not play but it is rare that a player scores 4 tries for a losing team. Pocket rocket, Isaac Montgomery outdid his hatrick from last week.

St Marys had conceded an average of 10 points per game before today and yet Cabra crossed the chalk 7 times. The loss of Thompson was a double blow as surely he would have kicked more than 1 out of 7. The St Marys team listed in the NSW website is incorrect, which is bizarre given that it was correct at 2pm. Mason Cerruto and Antonio Peleasasa returned from NSW Cup while Ratu Tuisese went the other way after spending time in both SS and RMC.

Another positive for Cabra is that the pending clearance on Ryan Verlinden has come through and he added some size and thrust to the Cabra pack tonight. Verlinden has been playing with Oberon in Group 10 after spending 2 seasons with Featherstone Rovers, Doncaster and Workington Town in GB.

SS

St Marys Saints 42 (P Nay 2, F Enese 2, J Abbott 2, J Toby, A Faguuaela tries; J Toby 5 goals) def Cabramatta 28 (J Harrison, J Kelly, J Taaga Anae, D Dewildt, T McDonald tries; P Dumont 4 goals)

RMC

Auburn 22 Hills 10

Auburn produced their 4th win from 12 games by putting 3rd placed Hills to the sword. This means that Auburn now has a better record than both Wests and Cabra. The NSWRL did not turn on the computer for the Guildford vs Blacktown game.

SS
Moorebank 34 Hills 26
Guildford 56 Blacktown 10
Belrose 32 East Campbelltown 22

 

[Timmah]

Guildford won 60-12 according to our source. Scorers to be updated at a later time.

 

[Pantherman72]

A good weekend for Blacktown losing all 3 grades by 50plus! That must be a record for one club on the same weekend.
The club must have rocks in their heads to have sacked Pat Wiesner and then losing all their best players. You would think Ron Massey Cup clubs would be queuing up to sign him knowing that all those good players follow.
Blacktown could be the new Kingsgrove next year.

Absolutely devestating. A great player but also a great bloke. Will be missed.

Nothing more to it, climbing down the cliff to go fishing he fell.

Campbelltown’s rugby league community is in mourning after the death of East Campbelltown Eagles ‘legend’ Wayde Dunley
Macarthur Chronicle Campbelltown
July 11, 2017 3:55pm
CAMPBELLTOWN’S rugby league community is reeling after the sudden death of former East Campbelltown Eagles captain and club stalwart Wayde Dunley.

Dunley, 28, died after falling 15m from a cliff at Big Marley Beach at Bundeena on Saturday morning.

Police said he was climbing down the cliff to go fishing.

The father of one was flown to St George Hospital in a critical condition but later died.

Dunley captained the Eagles to their 2014 Sydney Shield premiership and followed up that success last year as part of the team that claimed the 2016 title.

The dedicated player joined the Eagles in 2009 and had his first taste of success not long afterwards as part of their 2012 undefeated Group 6 team.

East Campbelltown Eagles stalwart Wayde Dunley.

Dunley was a former captain and club stalwart.
The Eagles life member Daniel Draper paid tribute to Dunley as a “legend of a bloke” who was loved by all.

“The community has lost a fantastic young man and a great friend,” he said.

“He never had a bad word to say about anyone and no one ever said a bad word about him.”

A tribute on the club’s Facebook page said Dunley would always remain a part of the club’s family.

“Wayde was loved by all players and leaves us with many beautiful memories, a legend, a champion, and an absolute top bloke,” the post said.

The club is holding a fundraiser on Friday, July 21, to support Dunley’s wife Chelsea and young child Koa at Club Menangle.

The fundraiser begins at 7pm and tickets are $150 each.


For more information contact Daniel Draper on 0425 335 345 or message the East Campbelltown Eagles Facebook page.

A GoFundMe Page has also been started to support the family.

Wonderful touch from ECE to name Wayde on the bench as a tribute this week.

Speaking of, on the field all the competition will be caught up this weekend with both St Mary's catch-up games from Round 1 being played (SS at Moorebank, RMC at Auburn) as well as Asquith v Belrose which was shifted from Round 18.

Guildford won 60-12 according to our source. Scorers to be updated at a later time.

Do you think that someone at the NSWRL will watch the tape of the game so they can insert the scorers and Guildford can receive the 2 points?. They had inserted the real Blacktown team by Tuesday instead of all the guys now playing for other clubs, that were listed in April, but still no progress on the actual game.

 

[Timmah]

I'll follow up where I can mate and let you know. The game's been transferred back to Round 4 where it belongs in the system but remains at 0-0 as you suggest.

In the meantime our ladder and results are far more up to date: http://bit.ly/2017RMCupDraw

 

[Tigers1986]

Again highlighting how inept the NSWRL are at running things. Their website is so full of errors in regards to these competitions it's beyond laughable.

 

[Timmah]

It's possible this error is actually Guildford's fault

 

[rightleftin]

I thought that it was the NSWRL that ran the computer. When Auburn lost to Cabra, Auburn scored a try just before full time and Manaia Rudolph kicked the conversion to make the score 44-30. But the conversion was credited to a Cabra player that wasn't even Cabra's goal kicker. So the official score was given as 46-28 and never corrected. Only someone that has nothing to do with either club could do this sort of thing.
