very close game tonight and had to leave with 10 minutes to go, just losing I remember. Have to say the halfback Gary Riccardi is absolute dynamite. His kicking game, especially chips are brilliant and he set up 3 tries with passes as well. He is the captain at nearly 20, sums it up, big future!! controls the team wonderfully and looks all class.
Saw Keiran there watching Liam, played ok but nothing flash. Reserve prop Ray Majouli gets into it in the front row. Never stops and makes big metres. Other prop Cunningham was average. Junior Palau is a big lad but can't seem to use his size to make big metres etc (shame) The hooker Liam Higgins did some good things at dummy half but nothing too great. Lussick looked injured but gee he is a big lad. Fingers crossed Des can get him to improve. Dean Whare didn't play (shame again) Cross didn't play and Harrison was very quiet.
Chatted to someone at the game tonight (don't want to say who but they would know) and they told me that the 2 indigenous kids we signed from North Queensland are guns, and the kid that was on maori tv clip could be an absolute superstar. The australian sprint star from Toowoomba has also set tongues wagging as there is a belief he could be anything. That sounds very good for the club.
In the backs centre Kyle Lodge had at least 3 tries scored against him, rule him out, very disappointing. Chapman, winger from Sunshine is even worse. Blanch the fullback (country kid) is pretty poor, dropped the 1st bomb and they scored.
