Hang tough and have a crack at the Woods
Not a great day at T G Millner unless you happened to be wearing blue and white. Well done to Eastwood - too fast, too skilled, too well drilled for a Two Blues side that never stopped trying but were simply outclassed. Best performance by a club team that I have personally seen this year.
Heard a rumour this morning that Sam Wykes actually agreed to return to Parra this year, only to turn up at a Wests training session on the tuesday (where they named him at 8 in 1s) then turned up unannounced at Eastwood on the Thursday. Can anyone confirm? That must have been a bitter pill to swallow for the Two Blues watching him score 2 tries against them on Saturday
I can't comment on that - there are others from the club who sometimes read and post on this forum who may be better placed to comment, or not. I guess what we are seeing more and more is a situation where some players place more value on what they perceive to be better for their long term prospects than they place on what people my age would view as traditional values. We see it frequently where our juniors are told that they need to play for X or Y rather than Parra. Thankfully Tatafu didn't simply accept that proposition.
Will be eagerly looking for Thommo's report this week!
UPDATE: Thommo seems to be almost philosophical about the loss. His
match report is up now on the club website.
