Both Eastwood and Randwick have depth through the clubs.
Eastwood have the benefit of greater experience in first grade and were on average about 3 years older and somewhat heavier across the park or so it seemed.
The Eastwood backs were very well organised ,so I thought the Wicks backs did well against them and will grow from the experience.
The Eastwood forwards were very good and played the gain line well so the smaller Wicks forwards did well to negate some of Eastwoods go forward.
The large forwards coming round the corner were impressive and quick so I thought the Wicks defence did well.
wicks scrum and line out also held up which defied the size difference.
Eastwood are deserved top of the table team and now having seen all teams, they should be there on the final game.

lily and 2bluesfan yeah a wet weather spectacle at both venues. 2 clubs doing the right things but slightly different ways and at different stages of the journey.
Caught the 2nd half of 3s, Manly was dominant in the forward back, and very strong on foot. Their 2 try lead at the break was brought home in the second half. Very fitting end to the game, both teams formed a circle and had a good chat - club rugby.
Only saw the first half of twos as the kids changed their mind with the rain, bonus point first half. Strong dominant forward back, and the backs had their passes stick. Good to get a win after 2 losses, Woodies next week.
Ones played well, this time they won the collision, and the defence was good.
Front row layed the foundation,
Contested a number of line outs on the Parra throw and this won us crucial ball.
A number of kicks didn't find touch, or went out on the full, but a well placed kick created our first try.
Kotoni had a stellar game.
Malie was huge in defence, and had some good runs.
Chesters was very sound at the back, how's the injury?
Parra scored 2 quick tries when our replacements were made, great to see 2 young colts make their grade debut.
Woodies next week, and hopefully some sun.

Agree with you Bruce - Nugget seemed to get them all on the front foot with a little more space. Good to see also that you don't hold a grudge against former Uni players plying their trade at rival clubs.
It is what it is

Eastwood looked line men V boys against Randwick.
You can't deny Randwick's effort, but Eastwood were just cruising in 2nd gear.
For Randwick it was a repeat of their effort against Manly

Macca, my attitude is that rugby players have limited time to succeed in their sport and they have to decide what is best for them. When players come to me for advice, as Nugget did before changing clubs, I always try to take off my Sydney Uni hat and give them objective advice.
I am proud of the fact that Nugget still comes to me for career advice and I am more than happy to assist a young bloke of outstanding character.
.
I think that he started out in junior rugby with Randwick and was lost to the Juniors during his time at Waverley.
The decision to go to Uni may have been influenced by wanting to play with his mates, or he was studying at Uni, or he liked the programmes or culture that they had there, or combinations of the above.
He seems to be a reasonably competent footy player and would be first choice #9 at many clubs.

Thommo is taking a few weeks off to catch up with some of his old Rugby mates in New York. Club President Geoff Baldwin has kindly stepped in to write this week's match report, now on the Two Blues website.

yep, also played a little junior footy for souths. Cant see uni being too pissed at him going to another club, can hardly claim him as being their own product

I read this also. Very interesting, maybe Gordon as they could only field one colts team this year.

Bob Davidson (42)
I guess the other option is mergers eg Parramatta and Penrith, Gordon and Norths, Easts and Randwick, Manly and Warringah.

Yeah Knuckles what Dave said ! Just back from being in Melbourne for the test to set the record straight - I have never condoned what Ed did or questioned the appropriateness of the penalty indeed he could easily have gone for more and no one at MMM's would have been surprised - Wamberal please take note - for Ed to have landed the boot would have taken a kick worthy of Bruce Lee anyway ;-) . It was a tongue in cheek comparison of offences. What would the IRB have done with Ed?!

We have actually invited all of the Juniors to the game that represented us so well over the past month or so. We've pinched the idea from Warringah to have all of the players wear their Village club socks throughout the day to celebrate. If they only played at school then that is fine too. Should be a bit of fun
