NRC round 1: NSW Country Eagles vs Sydney @ Dubbo - Saturday 31 August 2019

[Blackadder]

Been impressed by Bell..think he is only 18 - big future

Playing very well

At this point Harrison looks to be ahead of Mason in this game as probably between these two players who will be starting 10 at tahs next year.

 

[Blackadder]

26 all

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Gees Sydney starting to click - nothing better when players make us armchair critics eat our words and prove us wrong

 

[Silverado]

It's all Sydney now

 

[Blackadder]

I am really enjoying seeing some of the Kids getting a run. Some of them are really giving it a go

Much better 2nd half.

Yeah, they didn't touch the ball for the first 20 minutes. Some of the criticisms were premature

 

[Blackadder]

Now that country are back to full strength they have turned it around and are in

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Turned out an enjoyable game - albeit slow start from Sydney. Seen moments of good rugby from fringe tahs players and club rugby players.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Hanigan back on, try straight away

 

[Blackadder]

Bell gets a rest, well earnt he has played well

 

[Rugbynutter39]

So few places on Tahs roster - who do you reckon out of club players on display might be under review for a Tahs contract from Sydney and Country side

 

[Blackadder]

Sydney blow it, damn it

 

[Blackadder]

Well done country

 

[The Honey Badger]

Great try. Jack Grant. Great forward play

 

[The Honey Badger]

Finally, country wake up

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Great try from Country

I wouldn't mind Grant taking Phipps spot

 

[Blackadder]

Walker has come on for country and is hitting the line well and tackling well
