Harold Matts (U17) Dragons v Steelers:
  • CMeafou not named for the Steelers.. shame.
  • Dragons have had all the running in the first 20 minutes.. Ah Kee is the conductor in everything.. every pass with a touch of class, looking long and passing short, holding them back, double pumping.. hes probably if im honest trying harder to impress than he needs too, few wild passes too... but he is the x-factor in this side.
  • Despite all that possession though, the dragons only landed 1 try, and then gave a length of the field intercept from the 7 Charlie Jones to Ballinger the winger. That will probably come back to hurt them because this Steelers side has been really good at staying in games for 80 minutes (currently unbeaten).
  • Tries in the corner have been disallowed by both sides, very willing contest, a little bit of rivalry I would imagine between the 2 feeder squads.. but nothing nasty like last week.
  • 6-4 Steelers @ Half-Time, neither side has executed well in attack, but good physicality has kept them both in the game.
  • Steelers looked to run the length but I think its been bombed, Burton involved in setting it up, but regardless Dragons scramble well.
  • Back and forth continues.. but off the back of a penalty the Dragons are attacking the Steelers line... Ah Kee has setup Phoenix Johns who runs an inside line for a pretty easy try. Steelers 6 Dragons 10.
  • Biggest unit ive seen #25 McGuiness for the Steelers a classic hip drop on #12 Elmasri.. hate that.. the 2 sides are basically teammates and u pull that stunt.. cant even move his leg or put weight on it and hes carried off.. only got 10mins in the bin for it.. I would have sent him off.
  • Ah Kee with the individual brilliance to leave 3 defenders in his wake and run 70metres.. he has bulk and speed this kid.. I keep saying hes nuggety but hes clearly athletic.. Burton has wrapped him up in a brilliant 1on1 tackle over the goal-line.. I actually wonder if he got it down.. but its been ruled held up by Burton. Probably our 2 best U17 prospects coming together on the field there.
  • These are 2 really evenly matched teams.. been duking it out with no points all game.. but after repelling the steelers for ages.. noone gets into dummy half after the winger catches the bomb.. and finally the steelers manage to spread it the full width and 'just' get it down in time.. dissapointing for the dragons who are every bit as good as the steelers today.. despite only having 2 wins this season.
  • Conversion from sideline from Humphries.. kicked well today.. Steelers 12-10 3mins to go.. wow. game over.. unlucky dragons honestly.. but the Steelers march on.. Steelers didnt seem to have any crispness in attack today.. stayed in it defensively, and tbf the Dragons defended well also. For the Dragons they are almost a 1-man machine in AH Kee, Field ran the ball back well tbf, but the points scoring is really just 1 man.
  • Onto NSW Cup, they have scheduled SG Ball at the same time.

Just watched the Steelers v Dragons mini-game for SG Ball, few comments:
  • Steelers Try 1: DMeafou sets it up with a decent run and a nice offload to a trailing Weatherall who crashes over on his first game back from suspension.
  • Steelers Try 2: leadup.. big run from Weatherall > Big run from DMeafou > big run from Langdon who spins and gets it down.. all 3 of these blokes werent available until recently.. 3 of the steelers best forwards.
  • Steelers Try 3: Stand-in centre Ezekiel Kennedy just gets low from dummy half and pushes 3 blokes out of the way for a try.. like he wasnt diving.. he was just crouched.. either hes freakishly strong or thats some really poor defence.
  • Dragons Try 1: J#14 Blanch from hooker just delivers a nice long ball to Boyle #6 who draws and passes and there is a big overlap already... the pass finds Meldrum #4 who puts away his winger Makhlouf #5 in the corner, I think the inside steelers defence was to blame there, it was 4 on 3 as soon as the hooker passed it... even with the fullback coming into the defensive line to assist..
  • Steelers Try 4: DMeafou charging at the line and very hard to stop.. just pops a nice little offload at the last moment to Phillips who goes in untouched.. 2nd try-assist for Daniel now.
  • Steelers Try 5: Halves working together, Reed throws a nice long ball behind a decoy Jackon.. to give Fitzy a little bit of room.. he gets in between 2 defenders and a simple pass to #12 Sadler who falls over the line.
  • Steelers Try 6: Breakspear #20 who is the 18th man.. hope that doesnt mean we had multiple HIAs.. gets it to Fitzy who shoots a long ball across several defenders to stand-in centre Elton #15 who scores a simple try..
A lot of tries thru the middle today.. Steelers in 2nd gear just too good for the Dragons, even with Kirk, Heidke, Timmo & Borg out.. I do hope some of them are back in weeks to come though, they are missing 4 out of 5 of their outside backs.. and a lot of class.
