NSW Cup Newtown vs Norths updates

[Guest]

Does anyone else think that the success of our lower grades in these finals is down to the removal of Smith? There would be a few players there that would have been dirty with him. Maybe they started to realise that the opportunities would be there to impress the new regime. Attitude is such a big part of any success.

Just on the way back now, awesome game. Masoe was immense that last 20, won us the game.

Morts was pretty average for the majority of the game I thought... Not sure what the commentators were saying?

I thought he was good our forward for most of the game were dominated, however like most halves once the props started to perform he could do his stuff..

I tell ya what I'm loving this tough image we r now projecting

Daniel T just confirmed my opinion that he he our brightest young back besides RTS. Maybe even including RTS. So damaging.

Not a bad bit of business for the club in what was essentially a straight swap for Cheyse Blair.

Still this game was a long way off first grade standard.

Nah, I do however believe the Jets and 20s making the finals 2 seasons straight whilst Firsts missed out was a large part of Bwian being moved on.

One of the most maligned players in Roosters team history won the game for them.

Morty takes a big old crap on Pearce.

NSW Cup PIM - the only crap is coming out of your keyboard.

I'd say 90% of the positions are up for grabs. Fullback, wing and 5/8th are locked in.

Some small comfort this year in knocking Souths out of both lower grades, both where they had the game wrapped up and we stole it.

Ok, very small comfort but still....

[Guest]

love it.

my mate/neighbour just so happens to be a bulldogs/collingwood supporter.

im already day dreaming about seeing him at school after next weekend and say:
oh, did you see the dogs get humbled by souffs in the nrl?
how about the dogs toyota cup team bowing out in straight sets?
and surely you heard that the roosters ressies beat the dogs ressies?
so the dogs were minor premiers over all three grades yet they didnt make one grand final?
and to top it all off, the swans got up over the pies and are now in the GF! lol

1 hyperthetical down
3 to go.

on another note, if the jets are to win next week v the dogs, this should be there team:

1. alofa alofa
2. tupou
3. carney
4. henry
5. tagive
6. mortimer
7. killah
8. masoe
9. seluini
10. ailomai
11. bosden
12. barrett
13. ellaz

14. pearn
15. kara
16. cherrington
17. houma

cut littlejohn, liu and viotu

and finally, the jets did well to beat norffs, seeing as the bears forward pack looks miles better then ours.

I confess that I turned the radio off at 24-6 and went to read a book. I come back now and I cannot believe they won this game.

haha, i can see where youre coming from.
in round 1 v souths, i went and had a shower with about 5 mins left after maubs kicked the ball away.
got out of the shower to see the boys all celebrating and couldnt believe i missed it.

on a side note, were you born in '66 or are you refferring to the fact they came last that year?

The latter - I'm not sure if I was being ironic (i.e. there was precious little spirit shown by the team in 1966) or optimistic (the spirit we took into 1967 when we finished in the top 4). I must confess to being a bandwagon supporter: I really only started following the team in 1968 when I was 9.

Exciting game...certainly get your moneys worth in these double headers...

Big Congrats jets for hanging tough and not giving up....our best josh alomai, mose, morts and Carney.

Tough essay next week but how great would it be to beat dirty dogs and make gf.

- Mose made some good runs and was very good on the line, scoring 2 tries (both bulging his way over, but was quiet in the first half as he didnt have much game time.
- Mortimer had a good game, i thought he had stuffed us up though when he didnt find touch from a penalty kick with 40 seconds to go
- Seluini i thought also had a good game, every time he darted from dummy half he would make 10+ metres. He helped provide the spark for our comeback
- Justin Carney isnt as slow as he should be. Ran 90 metres to score today.

I thought everyone played well today, but for the people that are saying Daniel Mortimer should go ahead of Pearce, remember this is reserve grade we are talking about.
