Warriors ISP Cup 2017

And just like that. Tof is over. Third try in 2 games?

Edit. Maybe it was the game before he crashed over for 2 tries. Takes 3 defenders over the line for his try though.

Third try in about 90 minutes on field.

Great leg drive. He's hard to stop close to the line.

 

[Cold Roses]

Good first half effort leading 12-0.

This is definitely Lino's team. Hingano taking a back seat yet again. He doesn't look to be developing much this year.

These guys seem to be able to play Kearneys 'grind out your sets, put on the pressure and wait to capitalise on mistakes' game better than the first grade side. Unlike the top side, they do have the benefit of consistent go forward and a solid defensive line though.

 

[Cold Roses]

Ogden crashes over after a hard run and quick play the ball by Tof during which he almost scores again himself.

Warriors 18-0

Jeez Tof is powerful.

Still had a guy on him when he got up and played the ball, shook him off like it was nothing and got the quick PTB to help with the try.

bmetres for days for the sipleys

 

[Cold Roses]

A lot of pressure from the Bears who have some wind in their sails after scoring out wide.

 

[Cold Roses]

Sustained period of pressure but we keep showing up in numbers. Finally have the ball back. Let's see if we can wrestle back momentum.

 

[Cold Roses]

Bears score again but fail to convert.

Warriors 18-10

Gotta say, after the dreck that the first grade squad has been serving up this year, it's been a real joy watching these guys playing together.

Yeah. They really show up for each other don't they. Especially in defence.

 

[Cold Roses]

Fulltime. Warriors 18-10.

Big comeback from the Bears in the second half.

Pretty notable switch of momentum mid way through the second half though when the Sipley boys were simultaneously benched for Gubb and Sao.

 

[cablenathan]

Yeah. They really show up for each other don't they. Especially in defence.

Hell at this point I'd be looking to have the first grade game on first and save the reserves match for the main event.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

i think its time for the sipleys to be inserted in first grade

Are they both props and how big are they?

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Are they both props and how big are they?

Yip both props
both around 6.4 106-110 kilos

Are they both props and how big are they?

Toafofoa is more like 6'1" (as he is listed) than R&S's rather fanciful 6'4" claim.

Doesn't really matter though, he is strong and explosive which is the real key.

 

[jaseg]

Both props, Tof & Pat are listed at 107 and 116 kgs respectively - Tof is shorter and looks to have a lower centre of gravity, breaks more tackles... Pat's large and strong, uses his bulk to drag tacklers across the advantage line.

Well keep them in reserve grade then, it's not like we need any of that stuff in firsts, do we?
