Remember that the Beasties put 50 points against the Woodies at home last year. Who won the 2014 premiership?

This could be the loss that the Woodies needed to have en route to another premiership.

I heard wests had uni at 17 zip today, and dusted uni in 2s.
Just finished watching the game
Pirates were really good (apart from those restarts- did they learn nothing from the northern suburbs game!) and deserved the win
No doubt it had something to do with me heading to Penrith and just watch the TV game later... No need to worry Dave I will be there next week so MMM by 30+

Some of our very best players are getting to the walking stick stage, though, Hugh. That said, Roach would have been badly missed (I assume he did not play, he was on the bench for the Tahs). His scavenging ability is enormously important for the team's balance.

Terrible tipping round. Only 3/6 (MMM, M2B and Rats).

Tipped MMM to win but never expected a thrashing, reminiscent of the touch up the Beasties gave the Woodies last year at TG Millner.


Thought Jack Dempsey missed out on making the final cut for the Tahs last night so backed Gordon to win at 3.20 odds, so was flabbergasted to see Jack in the line up at the start of the Tahs telecast! Not complaining though!

No of course not, Manly would've probably won anyway but smashed them. I think Uni are a better side than Wests regardless of their improvement.
Maybe,but this is the Uni 2015 version we're talking about.And don't forget that when West Harbour played Eastwood earlier this year it finished at 1 try apiece.I think Wests are starting to show the benefit of the Joe Barakat coaching influence.He only showed up 2 days before the comp began . Clearly Manly are the hot favourites this year, & should beat Wests next weekend,but you never know.

Just finished watching the Uni v Wests game:
  • Wests were fantastic, all over the students particularly in the forwards and the Uni backs were back peddling most of the game.
  • Betham didn't really help them.
  • Does anyone know what has happened to Jim Stewart for Uni?
  • Tom Carters speech was a good one.

@Coach - hard to stay under the radar when its all for a good cause;
This weekend was all about fundraising for Bear Cottage and looking after the ladies on ladies day - huge job to sell Ladies Day out and keeping with the Mexican theme it was catered for by one of our sponsors Guzman Y Gomez
https://www.guzmanygomez.com/locations/#nsw Manly Wharf for any one catching the ferry home.

With the chalk in pink for ladies day, and the boys decked out in their special jerseys it took about 20 minutes of defending before we clicked into gear and put some points on the board - great physical D.

Next 60 minutes had us playing some good rugby for the girls that always come down to watch. Even when down to 14 men for 10 minutes when our hooker Porecki went for an intercept with 80 meters to run - the ref ruled deliberate knock down and he had a long half time break - down to 14 we still cross the pink strip for an Olivers pie.

The engine ticked along up front, and the backs attacked - we defended well. It was enjoyable to watch, and even after the full time bell instead of heading straight for the sheds the boys played rugby scored another try, then got absolutely caned in the tug of war.

out 10 ? it will be based on how we back up next.


Tank, shocking body height from a front rower - more scrum practice

Not so good with last weeks tips with only 3/6 due to a couple of last minute scores by Wix and Highlanders upsetting the tipping applecart.

Round 10 Tips

Eastwood v Southern Districts. Rightly deserves to be the televised game and should be a cracker. Both combatants lost last week, against the form guide and both will be keen to get back on the right side of the ledger. There will be a great battle between the 9's, 10's and 15's with not much to separate them but the Woodies seem to have the edge in the loose forwards which may be the key point of difference. Missing a couple of key players will make the job a little too hard for the Hobbits who will fall short by 10-15 points.

Gordon v Penrith. The most interesting part of this game will be to see how the young buck, James Wilkinson, goes at hooker in his first year out of school. Gordon will be too good. Emus will try hard but ultimately fall short. Highlanders by 20+.

Northern Suburbs v Randwick. With the return of Pat Phibbs, Randi-Wix have some good experience to balance the youthful exuberance of their otherwise rather young team. That, the return of Ethan Ford and the quality of their loose forward trio will see the Wix grab the chocolates by 7-12 points.

Parramatta v Eastern Suburbs. Mighty 2 Blues at home should keep on their winning way in a real ding dong battle. M2B by < 7.

Sydney University v Warringah. The Corporation will be strengthened by the return of Jim Stewart in their centres but will have a real battle on their hands to contain a slick and confident Rats team. Being at home, and coming back from a loss in a game they coulda shoulda won, may give BuildCorp the motivation they need to cause an upset. The Corporation by < 7.

West Harbour v Manly. Pirates showed that they are a team not to be taken lightly with their performance last week but they will be blown off the oval by a rampant MMM. Marlins by 20+.

HJ why not for next year - you touch base with SuperBru and see if a tipping comp can be arranged for the Shute Shield.
Get the nod early.
All clubs can put it out there as they wish.

Be interesting to see how the Rats go towards the end of the season. The backs were always the Rats strength but they have five quality ones out/have disappeared recently (Davis, Jones, Tuisavaii, Tagicakibau, Dixon).

Seems it was a curse of the hookers last week with Ron Hobden (Gordon) and Luke Holmes breaking arms (although Luke Holmes was playing openside ).

Gordon's other two hookers used in first grade this season have had season ending operations so it gives the chance as mentioned above for James Wilkinson to have an extended run will be interesting to see how he goes but he is a tough kid so that is a good start.
