vs Sharks

[Philip_Smith007]

No Johnson, Hoffman or Thompson to get us home vs the Sharks this time round.
Lets see how a weeks training with the new structures in the halves.
Good work on the Mad Butcher appreciation.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Great energy in the first set by the forwards, especially Vete.
Backed up by next set by Manu, Hurrell and Maumalo.
Nice line speed early.
Nice kck by Townsend who has taken control for Manu to contest for Hurrell to tidy up and score.
Lolo hit the lost
4-0

 

[Philip_Smith007]

That pass doesn't help the confidence of Lolo Townsend.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Lets hope Kata didn't hear the call because that was a stupid penalty.
Thank god Gallen has short arms!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Nice break by Lolo, got a bit scrappy after that, Friend had to do a between the legs the right way up, good result in a forced repeat set.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Plenty of pressure on the Sharks goal line, must result in points soon!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Argh!!! Townsend knocks on, a bad pass to Lolo, he on the Sharks book already?
Tomkins with a costly slip!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Robson is doing a great job on Matulino!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Going upstairs no try.
No hands on Kata, just a Falcon!
If it had gone up a try it would of been a try!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Great defensive energy and pressure!
Glad to see heads not dropping with no points being scored!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Mannering scores off a Havalli grubber!
Never thought i would say that!
Lolo converts 10-0 less than 1 min till half time.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Cheers Philip, can't catch coverage.
Love your work!

We're playing like a side that is at least trying to make the finals.

Finish it, boys.

Lisone is up for first grade today! Good, solid hit-ups. Gubb good too.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Energy still high in the first few sets in both attack and defense.
Sharks are going to have to get tired!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Sharks bust us open from in their own half.
RFM missed a tackle on Tagatessi from Gallen passing at the line!
Holmes scores in the corner!
10-6
Sharks back in the game with little effort!

Brilliant Sharks try.

10-6, do we need to score next? Yes.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Penalty for Gubb, Gallen&Ennis slowing down the play.
Taking the 2.
Which Lolo converts.
12-6

 

[Blair]

What a difference having Manu and Maumalo taking the ball up on the first play.
