Cool Maggies to get a home final in week 3. Got a decent crowd to Campbo last year for the semis. You'd think Ringrose will be pretty packed for week 2 as well.

Maggies 30 - Vulcans 24. We were up 30-8 with less than 20 on the cluck but clocked off.

Heard the Tigers put 60 on the Knights after being up something like 52-4 at half time!

Also heard Windsor were up 34-0 against the Bears at half time and got run down to lose 40-38 or something like that. Must have been a cyclone blowing down the ground.

Certainly makes next week's Windsor v Magpies game just that little bit more interesting as 5th spot will be up for grabs.

Any other results?

That puts 4th right on the table for us. Getting interesting again between 4th and 6th.

Central Coast beat Canterbury 52-22


The Bears comeback was sensational.

The Bears side was looking struggling already this week without Vagana, Widders and the Lowe brothers sitting on the sidelines. Then 5 of our 17 had to pull out with injury. This meant we had 2 guys making their NSW Cup debut for the year and 1 playing his second game, plus a hooker playing backrow and only 3 on the bench (a second rower, hooker and winger).

With all that in mind it was no surprise Windsor were up 34-0 after 25 minutes. The Bears clawed back to 34-12 at halftime. In the second half they showed amazing heart to get up 40-34, then Windsor scored in the final minute, but thank goodness for us that Shane Rodney sideline conversion attempt hit the goalpost so Norths won 40-38. Then all supporters were invited into the dressing room to sing the team song!!!

They're the games you talk about over a beer for decades to come.

Just ran into Beau Champion at Maroubra apparently Bears Beat Bulldogs 40-18 or there abouts, He was getting ready to go to Dave Wynyards wedding who apparently had just finished playing for Norths.

Who plays football before their Wedding ? WTF?

Great story. I'm glad Wynyard played he is such a hard hitter!

It was 40-18.

Windsor pipped us 34-28. Losing Flanno hurt us. Got another tough one next Monday at Manly.
