2018 NSWRL Senior Comps - ISP, Flegg, RMC, Shield

[Tarantosaurus]

East Campbelltown are the first team through to the SS GF with a 24-20 win over Moorebank. There were 4 tries to each team but Sean Connor kicked all 4 attempts whereas the Rams got 2 from 5.

I'm guttered. But hey, we had a terrific season compared to last year.
East Campbelltown were just too good for us today.

 

[MountainMan]

What a awesome game of rugby league to watch,quality referee also.
Very good standard and a trilling final couple of minutes.
I havent had a chance to watch Moorebank this season,what an improved side from the previous season!
Eagles just had too much experience across the field in the end.Great effort to come back from the Rams scoring three straight tries.

In the middle of the season St Marys conceded more than 50 against Wenty and were sitting just above Blacktown and Hills on the ladder, yet they have recovered brilliantly to qualify for the Grand Final. Brad Drew had them primed up today and they scored 3 times in the first 11 minutes and got to 20-0 ahead of the clock. Cabra converted breaks by Niko and Jesse Martin but St Marys responded whenever the Blues threatened. A points laden first half saw St Marys lead 28-14 and that margin was maintained in a stalemate second half for a final score of 34-20.

congrats to St Marys, they were good today, while Cabra were well off their game at times (well at a lot of imes) and St MArys very solid

Wenty RMC are the only side of the 4 that had a week off and qualify for the GF. They were dominant in the first 15 minutes to lead 16-0 but from that point onwards the Glebe Burwood defence looked impregnable and with a share of the ball the reds did most of the scoring after that, registering 3 tries before half time but no goals including one very close to the posts meant they trailed 16-12 at half time.

Shortly after resumption Wenty spilt the ball close the reds line, Manumaleuli scooped it up and offloaded to Tamou who went the final 60 metres. Replacement kicker Demetriou added the extras for an 18-16 lead. With the Wenty attack nullified, Henry took a penalty goal to even at 55 minutes. Another typical bulldozing run by Demetriou and offload to Schaafhauzen saw what appeared to be the winning try in the corner at 70 minutes 22-18.

I still don't know how Cook managed to ground the ball but with 2 minutes left Wenty had got out gaol. Henry did not miss. Wenty 24-22. Gut wrenching for GB who have for the first time assembled a roster that looked capable of going all the way.

In the SS game Guildford took all their chances while Wenty bombed several in the first half to trail 18-6 at the break. Wenty put it together better upon resumption and got back 18-18 but the Owls came again when a flowing backline movement saw Cameron Eyles with space and he made no mistake. A fine individual effort from Apouri saw Newton in a position to even the score with a kick near the posts at 65 minutes but it swung too much. Guildford put up a wall that didn't crack thereafter while Masima and Longbottom had kept Wenty on the back foot throughout.

Why not have all the NSW GFs on the same day as in previous years???

Why not have all the NSW GFs on the same day as in previous years???

My best guess is that there were a lot of complaints in recent years about the lateness of the main decider, together with the fact ISP had to be 3:10pm to go on 9

 

[Tigers1986]

4 games in one day to fill 9's commitment is a big ask.

Sentimental favourites in the Shield are Easts for mine. My cousin's partner plays for them, they're aligned to WT, and it'll be nice if they got the win for Wayde.

Massey should be Wenty in a canter.

Flegg is a coin toss.

ISP I'd take Newtown.

 

[big hit!]

Surely this isn't what Canterbury and Newtown are wearing in the Super Cup GF.

 

[Tarantosaurus]

Surely this isn't what Canterbury and Newtown are wearing in the Super Cup GF.

They shouldn't let it happen, but anything can happen.

Just earlier this season, Rams played against Penrith, and we both have jerseys that are pretty much identical. NSWRL never double checked this.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Newtown have an alternate white jersey, but I don't think Canterbury have any other jerseys in NSW Cup.

 

[big hit!]

the similarity can be reduced with Canterbury wearing white shorts and Newtown blue. The two clubs probably don't have it in their uni set, perhaps the NSWRL should stump up the money to do it. It's going to look ridiculous if the above captains call combination is preseneted on game day. A bit like the last two Penrith home/finals matches vs Warriors in the NRL, or Parra's last couple of away matches with their heritage kit against Melbourne and NQ. f**kin stupid.

They can avoid this shit in 5th tier leagues in the English Football system, professional and televised second tier leagues here in Oz should be able to do it too

Not sure I follow this? 9 are only broadcasting ISP, and for that the game needed to be 3:10pm (previous years' kickoffs of 5/6pm would clash with the news)

If they made it 3pm we'd need 9am Shield 11am Massey 1pm Flegg and thats not even allowing for extra time or reasonable preso time IMO.

I think over two days makes sense and allows appropriate time for each game.

As for the jersey clash, I don't think it's as bad as it seems, fairly sure they've played each other before and it's been fine. The back of the Jets' jumper is all blue, the back of Canterbury's is white from memory

Having it split over 2 days makes it a bit easier for parking, it can be a shit fight at Leichhardt.
Perhaps next year they could organise it somewhere in the center of sydney like parra if the new stadium is open. Or somewhere with heaps of parking like Penrith

 

[Timmah]

You'd think provided they can get a reasonable deal it'd return to Parramatta next year.

 

[rightleftin]

On sunday, Rhys Davies and Dayne Vette Walsh were both placed on report for a lifting tackle and it appears that Wenty will not be at full strength as a result, with neither listed for the GF. Epa Navale and Mana Aonga come onto the bench and both have played plenty of RMC this year.

Ngangarra Barker, who played for Asquith SS in the first half of 2018, and Barry McGrady, who previously played for Peninsula SS, both scored tries in Kurri Kurri's 38-18 loss to Lakes United in the Newcastle 1st grade Preliminary final on sunday.
