CAS Rugby 2023

[rod skellet]

Watching Nudgee warm up. Some strong fit lads in this team. They remind me of their Sydney St Joseph’s colleagues. Very disciplined. Lots of talk. Barker will have their hands full today.

 

[rod skellet]

Nudgee come out firing. 7 nil after 5 min. Barker get some ball and hit back. 7/5 Nudgee

 

[rod skellet]

Nudgee have some damaging ball runners. 14/5 Nudgee

 

[rod skellet]

Barker hit back. 14/10. Defense from both sides needs to tighten up

 

[rod skellet]

14/12. Nudgee

 

[rod skellet]

Barker forwards break out. Try under sticks. 19/14 Barker

 

[rod skellet]

3 tries a piece here. Defence needs work.19/19

 

[rod skellet]

Nudges 18 is their go forward man

 

[rod skellet]

Nudgee great over the ball. Barker forwards to slow to the breakdown

 

[rod skellet]

Mistakes are hurting. Nudgee lead 26/19 at HT

 

[RedOrDead]

Really missing Nick Hill in the scrum

Think this Nudgee side has a significantly larger pack

 

[RedOrDead]

The difference in this game has been the scrum. Completely ruined Barker's momentum.

 

[rod skellet]

Try Barker but Poynton but the conversion was wide 26/24 Nudgee

 

[rod skellet]

Ft 29/24 Nudgee. Nudgee deserved to win. Barker lost too many players to injury. Hanley, MacDonald, Hill and really struggled with their set piece. Nudgee had the strength and power and executed better. Look forward to next years game in Brisbane. This should be a annual fixture

 

[Flavio]

And the 5ths get a tunnel they would normally dream about

 

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Barker will be very disappointed with that first half letting in 4 tries. Nudgee was up to it their attack was significantly more balanced and they dominated the set piece which killed them last year. Barker still showed plenty of heart without their captains in Hanley and McDonald.

Add to that Hill not starting, Barker we’re always going to be under the pump.

 

[Snort]

Actually Barker did really well in the second half. They were monstered in the scrum and essentially played without the ball but scored a try from their one trip to the Nudgee quarter and didn't allow a score until the penalty on full time.

Barker will learn a lot from this loss and I hope it will put them in a good position for tight matches in the case rounds
