Disappointing about Suli. Seven months recovery for him according to his Facebook page. Hopefully it won't hinder his progression too greatly.

[Mattpoet]

we'll still offer him a fg contract i reckon

Lol I got there at half time and was like 30-6 have I missed the whole game

Good to get another win and especially how big of a win it was for us. Nelson is too good for this level should be in first grade round 1 next year. Brittain continues to be good out of dummy half. It seems other than Welch this is the side we will go into the playoffs with. Broncos will be a good test this weekend a top 4 side at home, hopefully a good in coming for us.

The Storm have requested our Round 21 NYC match v Wests Tigers be moved from Monday 4th August. It will now be played at Campbelltown on Saturday 2nd August.

[sallymay]

Wonder why...interesting

[steaming stormer]

probably a welfare thing to avoid the short turnaround on the younger bodies. They're obviously not as seasoned as the first grade boys so that would be my guess

[Fizer]

Great win against a high quality opposition especially with Brittain out.

[Fizer]

Tough loss after being up 10 with 20 to go, but shows we can compete with the top sides in the comp.

[sallymay]

Bugger I forgot they were even playing...I've been at work

[Fizer]

NAS with two more tries that is 9 in his last 4 games.
Should be a good game this week to see how far we have come since the Knights beat us 50 - 0 earlier this year. It will be a major upset if we can beat them. We play top teams to end the season so if we are to make the playoffs we will need a couple of upsets.

[Fizer]

Just a little bit on three players who are coming next and will be instant starters. Will add more later in the week.

Joe Apikotoa - Prop - St Pats Silverstream. A great mobile prop who keeps going all day. NZ resident u18 player.

Patrick Herbert - Fullback - St Kentigern College. A great hole runner from fullback. Has a league background before joining St Kents.

Mack Mason - Half. Anglican Church Grammar School. Qld u18 schoolboy half last year. Plays first five for his school. Former Broncos scholarship holder. Hasn't played league this year.

Churchie often live stream there games so if you're interested you might be able to have a look at him/I should be at one of his games later this season so I'll see how he goes. From what I know about him though he is up there in the top 2 or 3 fly halves in the QLD GPS competition this year which has produced a lot of players in both the NRL and Super Rugby.

Could be a pretty handy pick up if he adapts to our structures well. From memory he is a league player brought into a union school so he shouldn't have too much trouble making the switch back

The game is a bit harder now with NAS in NSW Cup but am looking forward to watching them and they cant be as bad as earlier this year.
