Really looking forward to one of the colts dads stepping up under an alias to add some posts!
Seconds straight week weather has put 3's & 4's to an outside field and i can only say we took the points.
2nd's we were dominant most of the game, but the scoreboard attendant were kept busy with their ab&c's creatively arranging our sponsors.

Emanon
on the scoreboard, unfortunately the numbers weren't ticking over as fast as expected. We had a very dominant scrum, and our line out was winning plenty of ball until Wesson was replaced at the break. My take on the score - we weren't as ruthless in the ruck and maul aggression on phases 3 +, lacking this go forward stifled the backs speed & flare. Any way took the points and all good.
1st's a real battle for the first 30, a tough ground out game. Great defense with our line going uncrossed, only points they received were given to them by the ref with a penalty try after they knocked on at the back of a scrum. It appeared to be a different approach this week, our outside back had huge impact in recent weeks, and this week the ball didn't travel wide. Most of the points came in the 10 minutes either side of oranges. Huge effort when down too 13 men in the second half.
Kotoni had a huge game, with some great ball carries.
Sigg played hard for his 70 minutes, pulling off some great hits.
Penalty try???
About a minute 30 in, you will note the 6.5 man (backs worth .5 at scrum time) Manly scrum skidding backwards - not collapsed, and the ball being knocked on. In my eyes a Manly scrum feed. on closer look - yeah maybe correct.
