Just kicked off. Our boys are so much more bigger. We're undefeated and should power through Riverina.
There we go, a try straight away to a big boy lock Kye Penfold.
I'm going to predict right now that a towering winger for us, Mawin Tema Soaai will bag some meat pies today.
17:28 A lack of discipline is allowing Riverina in our red zone too many times.
20:00 They score off a bomb to the cnr, converted.
24:00 Crash ball, Benjamin Hodsdon scores close to the posts, converted.
Try scorer runs from the back fence to take the ball up after the kick-off. Very impressive.
29:00 As predicted, the big N⁰2, Mawin Tema Soaai scores in the corner. Not converted.
30:00 Great try by N⁰3, Elijah Sefo, converted.
Half time summary:
Super sub Benjamin Hodsdon scored a try and runs hard into D ala Martin Lang. The pick of the fwds.
Our backs led by Sefo and Soaai should have a try scoring blitz in the second half.
34:00 A big bopper Riverina prop runs the full length to score. I'm absolutely fed up with the way the modern day footballer has forgotten how to tackle the old conventional way, instead they often go high....too much arm grabbing atm and it's filtered down to pathways.
22-10 the score.
47:30 They score again down the right hand wing and again pathetic D....I have to remember these footballers are just young lads.
We crash over in reply. Both front rows are playing well. Converted.
28-14
Finally a backline movement that had all the fundamentals of a backline draw and pass situ scoring in the cnr. Not converted.
Fulltime 32-14
My Man of the match by a country mile was Benjamin Hodsdon. He reminds me of Roosters Hooker Brandon Smith the way he gets around the park and runs like Marty Lang.
I'll be watching his progress that's for sure.
