Newcastle score off a cross field kick. Radradra went to attack it but mistimed his jump and the Newcastle winger strolls over untouched.

Conversion is missed.

Wenty lead 16-4

27 minutes gone.

In regards to #6 (Api Pewairainghi) I believe he just graduated from the NYC so he would be around 21.

Wow. Mullaney spills the ball in the tackle from his kick return...straight into the willing arms of a Newcastle chaser who walks it in to the left hand corner for Newcastle.

Poor stuff.

Conversion is good.

Wenty lead 16-10

 

[strider]

wenty sure has a few errors in them

 

[Forty20]

Big metres for Newcastle as they go 60m down field. The Newcastle bomb is left to bounce by Radradra and he is pinned in goals for another drop out.

Wenty have well and truly let Newcastle back in to this game.

33 minutes gone.

Gee we suck!! Doesn't matter what grade.

Newcastle go over through a hard, straight runner. Waters (?) is steam rolled in the one-on-one attempt.

Conversion is good.

Game is locked up at 16 all.

35 minutes gone.

Newcastle pinged for a forward pass early in their set. Wenty are given a chance to get back in front before half time.

Wenty knock it on after a promising set. Newcastle scrum 10m out from their line.

Again the rot starts and continues because WINGERS can't and won't catch a high ball. Its a disease throughout the whole club.

 

[Forty20]

Newcastle pinged for another forward pass. This time after a great movement down our right edge. Real wasted chance and fortunate for us. Should be the last set before half time now.

 

[Forty20]

Radradra is bundled into touch after scorching down the left flank by some desperate Newcastle defence. I thought he should of scored there...should have dived earlier.

Half time siren sounds.

Game is locked up at 16 all.

semi's got some speed n size but he's got alot to learn

 

[hineyrulz]

Semi bombs one, I can see why Toutai is playing first grade.

 

[Joely01]

How is Nathan smith going?

Imagine him with Burtys footy brain??? :lol: he's definitely worth preserving with.

Wenty were good for very limited stretches in the first half. Defence started out well but the weight of possession we gifted Newcastle in prime territory lead to too much pressure. Too many silly errors have cost us alot.

With limited chances I thought Wiliame and Pewairanghi were good for us. Parata made far too many mistakes although he was nippy around the ruck. Semi did some nice things but his defensive positioning and decision making still leave alot to be desired.

 

[Stagger eel]

ok - Semi doesn't get near NRL yet ... all that good defense wasted by some shit wing play under the kick by Semi

And that is the reason why vai has the jump on him he just doesn't have the smarts to be an NRL player just yet.

It is frustrating though because there is so much potential there. He is huge and quick and could really devastate the opposition. Pity the nous isn't there (hopefully just a matter of time).

The second half is underway.
