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.

Steelers U17 HM Notes (First Half - Half Time Score 20-4):
  • Remembering that Steelers HM are undefeated.... with this match and 2 more to go before finals.
  • I hadnt realised how big #13 Halaapiapi Amone was for this age group.. huge advantage
  • First try was just our little 7 in Brookfield probing and going himself.. nice 6-0 start.
  • Next try was again Brookfield but getting it out to Morrison #3 the captain.. basically untouched, some poor bears defence.. unfortunately missed an easy kick, but 10-0 up.
  • ok so our 3rd try.. Brookfield with a short kick that hits the defenders but they cant pick it up.. so Ollie picks it up instead and strolls over.. bit of a lame one but we will take it.. 14-0.
  • Ref is giving the bears every decision to get them back into it.. the bears spread it wide and have basically a 4on3 or something going on out there.. it was too good for us.. 14-4.
  • We hit straight back though.. the big #10 Mason Andrews crashing over right under the posts.. very soft.. and good for him to get 1 back as it was a strip on him that led to the bears try in the last set.. they twisted his arm behind him and it was very dubious but anyway.. 20-4...
  • Larkin #14 in a nasty head clash taken off HIA.
  • Another dubious call and the Bears attacking our line again.. their winger streaming for the corner in for all money, and ollie f***ing burton again, wraps him up and gets him over the sideline.. I noticed last match when he chased down Ah Kee, he gets beaten initially (like he looks sluggish).. but he gets to full speed in just a couple of steps... and has a knack for holding up tries.. obviously a very handy skill for a fullback to have...
  • Half time.. ref having a word to both teams about the push and shove going on constantly. 20-4 up.
Steelers U17 HM Notes (Second Half - Final Score 30-4):
  • Mason Andrews #10 has the ball stolen for a 2nd time 1on1.. fmd..
  • Thankfully as they spread it, MacGregor #4 gets into the defensive line to snatch an intercept and run 90m to score.. very deflating for the Bears.. wish he had of bought it in another 5-10m though.. goalkick hits the upright and out... 24-4.
  • So Brookfield from about 35m out from his line has kicked what I assume is a 40-30 and we got the ball back.. so must be how it works in this grade.. pretty good effort from a little guy.
  • We go on to get an easy try.. Humphries #6 to Macgregor #4.. strolls in untouched. 30-4... got a goalkick!
  • Jordan Barlow #15 is an interesting runner.. sort of light weight forward who keeps stepping as he runs and dodging tackles.. I think I saw him do it 4x in a row at one point before finally the tackler got him. He definitely makes blokes miss.. not sure what his position is exactly though.
  • Scofield #8 has a big game, one particular run was 15-20m post contact.. looks a lot like weatherall with his ponytail..
  • Some of these refs are calls are diabloical.. he really wants the bears back in the match.. suppose its good defensive practice though.
  • Couple of nice moments from the #9 Chapman too, darting runs and a big tackle.. literally as I write this Scofield breaks a tackle (again) and runs 30m and Chapman nearly scores...
  • Meh more penalties let the bears to our line.. nice run from their 2nd rower.. carries a few over for a good bears try 30-10.

50-4 Win

Steelers SG Ball Notes (First Half):
  • Ref is giving us very little.. thankfully weve been able to defend this first 9mins.. not sure we have been out of our half... until finally we get a 7-tackle set from our 20m.. and literally bash our way down field, another nice run from #9 Phillips.. he and #13 have been my standouts so far in the middle.. getting to to Langdon #11 to crash over.. after all that defensive work.. we r the ones in front 6-0.
  • The very next set... we get the ball back from our goalline.. Phillips to Reed to Heidke.. Heidke (the surgeon as I call him) disects the defensive line yet again... gets it back to Reed.. who gets it to Saifiti who is lightning and does the rest.. under the posts.. 3minutes after all that defence.. we are now 12-0 up.
  • A series of things happened next.. Weatherall tried to play the ball too fast (fractionally), Reed threw a dud pass.. the ref is being ridiculous giving every call to the bears.. a few minutes of defence follows... almost every second play is called 6-again or a knock on against us if it comes loose from a bear.. eventually they spread it and strip us to go in, in the corner... 12-4.
  • Bears attacking our line again.. 2nd time Borg has been trapped in-goal and smashed this time.. but off the short kick off, Kye Andrews #5 who only has a shot due to Kirks injury..wants it more and cleans it up and finally we have the ball back... I do wonder if this defence will come back to bite us later though. We end up going the length, Reed sending Langdon into a hole.. but the big unit drops it over the tryline.. then we get penalised after the ball comes out from a bear on the hitup.. fmd this ref is giving us nothing.
  • fmd ref again.. DMeafou on report, might have a case to answer.. the defender drops to his knees right as hes tackling him.. maybe not really im not sure what he can do in that situation.. he was 3/4 thru the tackle already.
  • And another penalty in front after a bear loses the ball.. im losing my mind.. even their own fans are asking the ref to just given tham a try instead. We defend yet another set and finally a penalty our way... I think a 6again also.. and we take full advantage.. big carries from DMeafou and Taufa.. and eventually 9>6>7>11 for Langdon to put a bit of individual skill in to beat his defenders and reach out and plant it down.. phew.. another great goalkick from reed 18-4.
  • The Surgeon Heidke decides not to offload the drop-off and just runs it himself.. cuts them open yet again and we are out to the 40m line.. we got em running back now and Fitzy makes the most of it.. easy show and go and scores in the far corner.. 22-4... kick narrowly misses. Half Time.
Steelers SG Ball Notes (Second Half):
  • Basically first set of the half, Reed has sliced through on their goalline for an easy try.. lovely way to set the tone.. 28-4.
  • Few minutes later, a big bold run from Saifiti down the sideline.. does well to be tackle in the field.. Heidke a strong run off the back and then Reed with another simple show and go as he steps straight under the sticks with no hand on him.. Bears are broken i think, they are not defending the simple stuff at all any more. 34-4.
  • Feels like some of the intensity of the game has come out, but Kye Andrews has dropped a contested bomb and the bears have managed to pick it up and go over in the corner.. 34-8.
  • We got a ball back on their line.. and once again Reed with the simple footwork to score his 3rd.. Im not really sure what to say cause his 3 tries have been off the back of terrible defence.. but he was still good enough to make it count... 40-8.
  • Following set and Reed has put DMeafou at full speed through with a shortball and under the sticks.. was borderline forward.. but the sort of pass that I see every other NRL team apart from us get away with each week... 46-8.
  • I must say Borg is an integral part of this sides chances.. and hes solid and he chimes in the backline.. but he just of doesnt have any x-factor.. he just takes the pass and runs.. and if hes fast enough great.. if not.. he gets tackled.. its a bit of a let down after watching Ollie Burton for example.. but.. I still think he might well take TPH's spot in Flegg later this year.. im not sure about that.. but anyway we shall see.. im not sure hes a longterm prospect though is what im saying... but hes been good this last 2 years in SG Ball.
  • f**k Taufa on report for I suppose its a crusher, but the bloke really was running into him with his head, like it wasnt a deliberate action he could avoid.. certainly hope we dont lose a few of these blokes..
  • now Tyrone Amone is on report, because he missed a tackle and the ref 'I think' is accusing him of an attempted shoulder charge or not wrapping his arm, because literally i dont think he came in contact with anyone... fmd this ref might end our season. Their hooker eventually darts in after all of this.. 46-14.
  • Borg takes a lovely contested bomb to save us close to our tryline, and off the following set the ball comes free from the bears winger and were able to get a simple try thru Saifiti and Heidke.. um Reed isnt goalkicking, infact hes not on the field.. hope its just precautionary... Saifiti shanks the kick.. 50-14.
  • Game over.. very nervous about all the blokes on report and Reed (who did come out to shake hands with all the players.. limping a little but i think just in a tired way), but we needed a good win and we got it against a mid-table team.. now with 2 weeks remaining, I think 1 more win and were in finals..
