Been gone for a while. Feels great to be back!
What a weekend of footy Rd 3 was. I was out at the Kings v Joeys games. One of the best games i've seen the Kings group play. Their pack was unstoppable, and provided too much field position through the middle. Isaac Fonua. What a player! The footwork he possesses combined with the sheer power in contact is very rare. Great job to get the win in front of a hostile Joeys crowd.
Additionally, I think amused is what I felt when seeing Charlie Ghattas flicking the ball to himself after catching it of a kick. You'd think a player of his calibre isn't to show any signs of cockiness when playing. Maybe a silent rebuttal to the way Joeys coach their boys.
On Thursday, I'll be out at Bellevue Hill to watch their game against Joeys, and I can't contain my excitement. Scots, who have been somewhat unlucky with injuries, haven't earned the solid start they were hoping for, and come off a very ordinary loss against a strong Riverview squad.
Joeys in a similar boat, walking away from a close loss to Kings as touched on above, will be very hungry and I expect them to come out firing with the support of many of their boys going.
This game should be an absolute cracker, and I specifically look forward to seeing how the Scots forward pack led by no. 3 Angus Mckenzie - who I've had a close eye on this year - engage in the battle with a hungry Joeys pack.
I'd love to hear any opinions and thoughts.
That's it from TRD.
