Grooms first taste of first grade

FULL TIME

Thank you for joining us tonight, and we look forward to bringing you live match updates all year. We apologise for the limited coverage due to impaired vision etc.
MANLY: 24
Storm: 20

I actually think it's 30 to us though lads.
 
someone would have been there one would think, but it wouldnt be fox. probably the local news!!!!

the quality of the dragons/dogs coverage was ordinary.
 
Ballin may not have played as according to MSE he was in doubt before the game with a leg injury (hence why Groom may have gone hooker at the start). Also, Dunley was listed as "rested" for the game, so he's not dropped yet 😛
 
I hope the coaching staff did not rest Dunley from the game as they believe he is in the same class as Menzies, Kite & Matai.
 
The melbourne side wasn't that shabby considering the number of australian schoolboys in the team. It is interesting what being sponsored by news corp can do - buy the best juniors available.

Their pack was their strength - we where short kite and beaver, our two best.

The result wasnt too bad considering.

It showed 1 thing, there is plenty of points in our backline, 24 in 30 minutes is allright
