Bundaberg Red Cup 2009

[ianlovesparra]

2 out 2 to the Rock:
Dallalana looked like he had a nasty injury near the end of the game but this could be Cabra's year.

I think wenty will win it!

 

[Roland]

I think wenty will win it!

Both Aiga and Dallalana are listed as playing on the NSWRL website.

Wenty will certainly be hard to beat. Last start they beat Windsor 54-12. That Windsor team was stronger than the one that played in the semi on the weekend. Ash Hazelton, Danny Chia and Daniel King played against Wenty but could not play the semi because they played some games in the state Cup earlier in the season and the State Cup team was not playing last weekend. They would have been eligible this week if Windsor had got through.

 

[CABRA ROCKS]

Is sammy Aiga suspended for this week? I see he got placed on report, what about the halfback looked like he did his shoulder?

Sammy Fronted the Judicary on Monday..no problem with the Tackle.. he is Playing Against wenty magpies .

 

[CABRA ROCKS]

The Past 2.. 'BRC'.. Encounters with Wentys Magpies Shows that there is not much in Comparison between these two tweams, the first Encounter was a Draw..&..The Second Encounter wentys won 24 -22 [2pts]... but in Hind sight Cabra Scored more Tries & Dallalana had a horror day with the Boot.. but Wenty Magpies are Minor Premiers & have been the most Consistent Team all Season, so they Deserve to Be Favorites to Win on Saturday.

Dallalana Trained with the Squad on Tuesday night..he is fit for Saturday..
Sika Teapu.. was at Training & is Confident to play on Saturday..
Daniel Cray seemed to have Recovered from that head injury..will front up 4sat !!

 

[CABRA ROCKS]

The results will be live on NSWRL.com.au from 1.15pm! [live updates] ................... .................................
**MOUNTIES -vs- BULLS ** *** MAGPIES -vs- 2 BLUES ***
Does Anyone know if any Local Community Radio Stations will have Bundy Red cup Semi Final coverage..

 

[CABRA ROCKS]

Wentwortville Out Classed Cabra 34 -12.Dissapointing Loss for the CABRA Boys.. we will have to Regroup & Take on a Resurging Bulls Outfit. & on that performance Today we could easily Bow out of The BRC Final Series..

 

[Cabra boy]

Yep i totally agree played absolutely shocking. James trotter, Josh mcllveny and Cruise Iosefa were all injured and played the game im sure someone else could have taken up there spot if they were injured. Josh came from the field and James trotter had no affect whatsover and Cruise didnt look comfortable the whole game.... The big front rower Sika had a needle too didnt he? He seemed to go quite fine. I think we need to re-think a bit.

 

[cabra1]

unfortunately for cabra we dont have the luxury of getting quality players back from the nsw cup like the bulls wenty and various other teams in this competition,so if we strike injuries we have to go to our local A grade team,i think that cabra have had a fine season up to this point considering we havent had the services of 2 of our quality players being ritchie parker and allan burns,dont write off cabra yet we have to win this week and we are in the grand final something that this club has failed to achieve in this competition

Cabramatta coach Len Stacker has made only one change to his side which went down to Minor Premiers Wentworthville last weekend. The versatile Francis Vaiotu replaces Si’ikaeha Teaupa in the second-row while for Bankstown City veteran second-rower Paul Winterstein takes Benson Tupou’s place in the starting line up. Cabramatta were by far the better side when the two teams met in week one of the Bundaberg Red Cup Final Series with classy performances from custodian Sam Aiga and halves combination Trent Trotter and Andrew Dallalana. Last weekend the Bulls looked like a different side, their defence contained Mounties go to man Damien Mostyn and they withstood a hectic last few minutes with Mounties peppering their line. With both sides at full strength and a place in the 2009 Bundaberg Red Cup Grand Final on the line the game is sure to be an absolute belter. Just a reminder for all the NSW Cup fans out there- the NSW Cup fixture between Balmain-Ryde Eastwood and Wentworthville will start at 5pm. The game will give both coaches a good assessment of where his team is at leading into the Final Series.

 

[cabra1]

There are a few changes to the cabramatta team to meet the bulls on saturday night,the blues have been strengthened by the return of ALLAN BURNS who will play centre,josh maklevenny goes to the wing and iosefa goes onto the bench matt lamb wont play due to a back injury...i hope all you cabra supporters get out there on saturday night this could be our first grand final appearance in this competition if we win this game...

A new page in New South Wales Rugby League history will be written by five o’clock Saturday afternoon when the 2009 Bundaberg Red Cup Grand Final concludes.

Both Wentworthville and Cabramatta will be chasing their first premiership since the competition was revamped in 2003 under the Jim Beam banner and the outcome is a toss of the coin scenario.

Only two points separated the teams during the regular season before Wentworthville stunned the Two Blues 34-12 in the major Semi-Final at Leichhardt Oval a fortnight ago.

Cabramatta assistant coach Corey Ruttle has been quoted in Big League saying the loss in the Semi- Final could turn out to be the catalyst for a Cabramatta victory on Saturday.

Ruttle also explained in his interview that this is one of the biggest games in the club’s proud history.

For Wentworthville, a club that has been described as the Melbourne Storm of NSWRL competitions, this match will be the icing on the cake for their most successful season under the partnership with the Parramatta club.

Should the Magpies win, it would also give the club the opportunity to create history by winning both the Bundaberg Red Cup and the NSW Cup in the same year.

Both teams have minor changes to the sides which competed in their last match with Wentworthville coach Brett Cook preferring to start Ben Taia in front of Danny Howard and for Cabramatta Cruise Iosefa looks set to start on the wing after Alan Burns limped off in last week’s win over the Bankstown City Bulls.

Gates will open at 12pm and the Round 22 NSW Cup fixture between the Wentworthville Magpies and the Western Suburbs Magpies will act as a curtain raiser for the 2009 Bundaberg Red Cup Grand Final and will kick off at 1.00pm.

Entry is $10 for Adults, $5 for Pensioners and Children (Under 16) are FREE.

Matches this year:
Round 10 at New Era Stadium- Cabramatta 20 drew with Wentworthville 20
Round 15 at Ringrose Park – Wentworthville 22 defeated Cabramatta 20
Finals Week 2 at Leichhardt Oval – Wentworthville 34 defeated Cabramatta 12


Players to Watch:

Cabramatta fullback Sam Aiga

Wentworthville centre Karl Filiga

Cabramatta frontrower Jamie Small

Wentworthville frotrower Brad Capovilla

 

[cabra1]

it is going to be a classic grand final,i was at the 2 prelimenary games during the year cabra should have won both of those games wenty have only played 2 games in 4 weeks this could quite easily go against them in the latter stages of the game,credit must go to the coach Len Stacker he has given plenty of these cabra juniors a chance this year they are starting to blossum under his coaching i hope to see some of these young blokes proceed onto bigger things in the game,any how good luck cabra hope to see all of you two blues supportes at the game on saturday...

 

[Cabra boy]

Yeah going to be an extreme game tomorow! Like cabra1 and cabra rocks has already said this will be the biggest game in our history i would like to say, the hype is going to be enormous and 2 local teams its a local derby grand final. And its a HUGE effort since like cabra rocks said we don't have the luxury of getting the NSW Cup players coming back down etc our junior base is VERY strong and it has been shown throughout the season . Cruise and Daniel are eligible for C grade and its an enormous effort for them to turn out and play like they have been since given the chance. Also Jordan who is 19 or 20 in the early part of season was up with the bundy team its an enormous effort for them and the whole team to be a part of history in the making. GO CABRA

 

[Roland]

Wenty won their first premiership in a decade when they beat Cabra 24-20 today. Wenty led 20-4 in the second half when Wenty captain Brett Sargent split Cabra wide open, positioned an unmarked Ken Sio and then failed to pass.

Cabra counter attacked brilliantly to score 3 tries in 6 minutes to lock the scores 20-20 and Wenty started to look sloppy, however. when it counted Valu Nasio went to line and delivered a round the corner pass for Sio to get the winning touchdown.

The will be plenty of new faces in the Wenty side next year with Brad Capovilla retiring after 315 games as will Ben Bailey after 8 seasons with club. Other long term players, Jacob Byrne and Sargent may also retire.

Cabra had their best season, reaching the Grand Final and almost stealing the title with their late blitz. I thought Andrew Dallalana had a brilliant finals series.

nswrl.com has a full report of the game

 

[The Wrong Eye]

I have heard Windsor have dumped Trent Rosa as coach of their Bundy Cup side for 2010 and appointed Penrith's 2009 SG Ball coach Bob Beveridge , also Guy Missio has the NSW Cup team.

 

[mightydragon]

I thought Andrew Dallalana had a brilliant finals series.

Except for the intercept pass on half time which was a killer.

 

[CABRA ROCKS]

I Have to Agree Dalalana Did have a Great Final Series,..But some of his passes went Astray.. & made some wrong Decisions at Crucial Times of the Game & for a 20 point player it took almost the whole Season to find some form, Being a Fringe first Grader from Cronulla..But In Saying that i hope he has a Blinder Next Season as he has Shown in the past 2 Games against the Bulls what he is quite capable off..& that is Carving up Teams through the middle of the Ruck.

 

[CABRA ROCKS]

I have heard Windsor have dumped Trent Rosa as coach of their Bundy Cup side for 2010 and appointed Penrith's 2009 SG Ball coach Bob Beveridge , also Guy Missio has the NSW Cup team.

WOW...Thats quite Drastic Regarding they won the Series a year ago. They did make the Semi's & i don't think they went all that bad this Season..i just think the Other clubs Recruited well in the off season & Clubs like Wentworthville & Cabra really went up A gear this Season.
