Wockers have the bye, so get out and support them. A very handy looking side. Good to see Nobby, Metcalf and Johnson in the side. Wolves will not be easy though.

Interesting to see Kev getting a run for them. Must want to see what he can do at Fullback.

Hope he demolishes. Id love to see this game. Any of these games on Maori TV?

just got back. windsor won 40-16 after leading 18-10 at half time.

locke went alright, johnson looked hopelessly out of his depth.

And apparently Pita had a poor game as well. That team really should have done better than that, but as I said, Windsor are never easy. They have a lot of experience in that side.

 

[Skinner]

Just a thought. I think that Johnson needs to spend more time in that side. He is not really improving in the 20's team. He needs to get experience playing with and against the gnarly old bugas. If he's out of his depth in NSW Cup, then he is never going to make first grade from the 20's.

absolutely. he was trying his usual u-20s tricks and because he was playing against men rather than boys it was being shut down far too easily. defence also even more suspect than in the u-20s.

he's got the talent to learn, but he needs to get the opportunity to do so. he's not really going to grow any more as a player in the u-20s, needs to be pushed up to the nsw cup, and now.

definitely. as little as it looked like locke wanted to be there, when he came up from the back to dabble in the halves he was probably their best option on the day. scored one, set another up and was really the only regularly threatening vulcan.

windsor looked good, although there was the usual degree of the vulcans dropping their bundle.

How did Mara go?? and however played hooker off the bench

Darin Kingi dropped down to play 80 minutes for the marlins.
Hes only being getting little minutes so wanted to play 80mins.
He was a machine - a machine on defense and sparked the attack and destroyed anybody who dared run at him.
Nearly beat Glenora by himself.
I reckon the warriors should look at giving him some form of contract.
I reckon he could offer more mara and henderson give him a go - a great attitude and machine at training.

Anyone for the Wolves stand out?

Wow you sure are a fan of this guy! I'd have to agree with most of what you say. I've only seen him play a few games for the Vulcans and each time he's been impressive. Sparks things up and a machine on D.
