any updates from Shore v Barker games?

It was a 16s tournament in Darwin. Shore beat Barker 45-10. Shore 1sts and 2nds are training in Lennox Head and play TSS today

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings New Knox 3x40min thirds
2nds Kings over Knox 24-10 and New 14-0. Knox currently up 14-0 over New in final third.
Good first hit out. Several out of all squads. Kings scored several off rolling mauls, good set piece and potential in outside backs.
Kings quite young, think will be a development year for them in Opens
Firsts to come

Kings 1sts in real trouble come scrum time so far

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings scrum getting destroyed by Knox. Knox 7-0. Don’t know many of the Kings team as yet, think a lot of year 11s

 

[Backintheolddays]

Knox backrower yellow for cynical penalty on try line. Kings maintain some pressure and good offloading leads to try 7-7.

 

[Backintheolddays]

Mid field turn over. Kings spread it wide. Crash over two phases later. Refs will be busy this year on the above sternum tackles. 12-7

Does anybody know if View had a game Today?

Cheers

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings maul one over off the back of sustained pressure on Knox line. Good defence by Knox and good patience by Kings. 19-7

 

[Backintheolddays]

Bit of end to end and long kicks. Kings intercept on halfway and score under the posts. 26-7.
Kings playing ok, Knox disappointing.

 

[Backintheolddays]

End of third 31-7

 

[Backintheolddays]

New much more direct. Gee Luca Cleverly has put on some size. Broken the line and pulled off a nice hit already.
Kings winning line outs comfortably but not doing much with it after that. Kings happy to throw around but don’t seem to have a lot of pace out wide

 

[Backintheolddays]

New simple backline move from scrum 25 out score in corner. Kings midfield defence likely to be targeted.
conversion missed 5-0

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings win two 5m lineouts on New line but New shut them down comfortably

 

[Backintheolddays]

New then run 70m from behind their own try line. Kings turnover then New score from charge down.
Bit scrappy, New pacier out wide
12-0 New

 

[Backintheolddays]

Game meandering. Mid field scrum 50m out, another mid field back move well executed and poor defence sees New in again. 19-0.

 

[Backintheolddays]

Kings defensive patterns ok in open play but they’re getting exposed off scrums in the midfield.

 

[Backintheolddays]

FT 19-0. Will give Kings the benefit of the doubt re fatigue but New were looking more dangerous out wide the longer that went.
on first viewing don’t expect either to push the top of the ladder when comp starts.
Kings definitely don’t have the surplus of talent in backs and forwards from ‘23.
Expect combinations not finalised across the park for Kings, some of the 2s were solid

 

[Mule]

New down 2 tries to Knox early, with both playing a few of their reserves

Yes, Riverviews 1XV, 2XV and 16A's trialed against Oakhill College. Unfortunately couldn't make it myself ... anyone heard of the results?

ISA thread gives the boys from Castle Hill the W 19-17, great outcome for them.
