Windsor 2013

[marty65]

Glad to see sanity prevail. Welcome to 1st grade Austin! Hopefully the next 3 or 4 matches will prove this to be a good move.

A nice win tonight 40-16. Moylan he was in everything the last 20mins we got 5 tries in that time.

Matt Robinson strong. T.Robinson hat trick. Walsh decent but nothing fancy.

if moylan does not replace whare at fullback after this week it is clear he is never going to get picked

Austin too good.

 

[MrAnonymous]

yeh austin carving up his way to good for nsw cup

 

[PinkPanther]

Quickest try I have ever seen.

 

[Graftonpanther]

How is Austin at least not the first grade lock if they don't want him at 1/2?? Surely blind Freddy can see he is 1000 times better than Ciraldo.

 

[abpanther]

Are they playing now?

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah. We are up 28-24 we have been terrible this 2nd half.

 

[mxlegend99]

Knights just in after a forward pass. Meanwhile we had a forward pass called against us a couple of minutes ago that wasn't forward. Wolves are making too many mistakes, but that forward pass call, and then a ridiculous knock on call against us coupled with not calling a forward pass against us has cost us the lead.

 

[mxlegend99]

And now the defence is non existent. Another try immediately scored after, with our first loss coming up. They're certainly showing signs of being coached more like our first grade team now.

 

[chrisD]

We are so much better than this knights team.

 

[PinkPanther]

First loss of the season, second half was disappointing. Austin was our best once again.

 

[Panther_Brendo]

Listening to the radio Anthony Cherrington, Mose Masoe and Ethan Cook were the standouts. Cook was a real standout in the final 20 minutes, setting up a couple of tries for Cherro and VTK. But I'm interested to get the opinion of those who were at the game. Ivan was there which is good to see.

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah. I went Cook was by far the best on the field. I guess he could be a chance if Ivan moves Humble to fullback. Moylan didn't do anything wrong apart from throw a ball into touch with Nabuli unmarked on the wing. Satini was strong but the backrow were outstanding.

 

[Panther_Brendo]

Perhaps he could play at lock or come off the bench. He has been good this year. What was your opinion on Masoe?

 

[franklin2323]

Cook could play lock though as below I think the pack picks itself. I would have any Windsor backrower over Newton, Ciraldo or Smith sadly the coach doesn't agree.

On Masoe we need 2 props off the bench. I have seen nothing to convince me he isn't capable of atleast 2 15min spells.

That's all we really need from the 2nd bench prop. He can be devasting even in such little gametime.

Assuming Tighe is back. We should line up like this. Humble can play fullback if a half was to come in.

Robinson
Tighe
Whare
Simmons
Humble
Walsh
Plum
Kingston
Grant
Manu
Brown
Docker:

McKendry.
Newton.
Segeyaro
Robinson

 

[maple_69]

Honestly, we can't afford for Plum to play at prop any longer. If fullback (Whare) and lock (Ciraldo) were our biggest issues, prop is next. Plum is completely ineffectual.

 

[Panther_Brendo]

Cleary was there, maybe he found what he needed. We will probably see some players promoted in the next few weeks. It definitely was a positive step appointing Garth Brennan as the Windsor coach. Isaac John, in an interview on Hawkesbury Radio, spoke positively about what Brennan has done there already.

One thing I have found about him is that he does not accept complacency.

In his interview he was always talking about improving and was not totally satisfied with the win. Yes, we were very good in the second 40, but overall we still conceded 22 points and against the better teams that is not good enough and is something we have to improve on. Yes we can celebrate the win, but your Melbourne's go back and look at the areas where they felt they were not good enough and focus on improving that area the next week. This is an culture that should be present throughout the club.

 

[franklin2323]

I agree Maple. We have played with 1/2 a prop on the bench. We need 2 that can make an impact but I can't see him going anytime soon.

On Brennan. I rate him as our best coach the players like him. He wants the best & wont accept anything else. Also consider he gets 3rd choice of u20's players has a smaller pool of players when injury hits yet has them well drilled.
