Wow! Go Grammar. It may sound strange to say that when Grammar lost, but a lot of the thinking was about the size of the loss. While Joeys is still the team to beat, that result would appear to indicate Grammar is very competitive. Phew!

Grammar lost in the first 10 minutes - the balance of the game was G10-J7.
Always poor starters.

Riverview looked rejuvenated today. Consistent losses seemed to have made them weary in previous weeks and it didn't look like they really wanted it, however today seemed to be a fresh start.

Joeys next week will be a challenge. Both teams sport high powered back lines, but I v J matches seem to always be wars of attrition. Whoever wants it next week will have it.

I must say that View looked very impressive at the Scots 7"s they made the final and played fantastic rugby ....... I was shocked to see Scots put 50 points on them two weeks ago ( and you all know I'm a blackwatch supporter) I felt it was only time before they clicked into gear and showed what they can do ........ seems today they have made a very big statement ........ any team can win on the day ...... I can't see any team winning 5 on the trot .......

Battle of the Jonny come lately backs on both sides will be a highlight......

An interesting afternoon at North Parramatta.
Kings by 31-28 in a seesawing tussle.
Congratulations to the Kings boys.
Not a lot between the teams though, the difference..probably the fact that Kings made fewer mistakes. Scots their own worst enemy again.
Scots started off with a couple of howlers allowing Kings to score 2 tries and lead by 17-0 after only 20 minutes. It was always a long way back for Scots from there.
The referee certainly made his mark, penalties galore and 2 red cards. The Kings 2nd rower unfortunate to get his marching orders for lifting that only the touch judge seemed to notice.
With the closeness of this game and other GPS results I'm not sure that any team can claim favouritism for the title.
Before the weekend it was looking like a 4 way match up between Kings, Joeys, New and Scots.
Excellent wins to both Shore and View throw the whole competition open.
The team that wins from here will be the one that has fewest injuries, makes fewest mistakes and has lady luck on their side.
It's going to be a tipsters nightmare.
Bring it on!



Poor discipline by scots again today ,in last 2 games 4 yellows and a red ,hard to win against any team if this continues. Saying that the same referee was in charge of both these games and what should of been two entertaining games turned out to be two quite mundane games played at a slow pace due to constant penalties and constant chats with players on every penalty and there were plenty of penalties in both games especially scots v Knox last week .

I don't know how many whistle's that referee goes thru in a season , I hope it's tax deductable for his sake.

Well done to kings , defensively excellent and will be hard to beat this year.
