General NSW Cup 2023

[Wellington Warrior]

Setu Tu needs to work on the timing of his pass!

 

[ndp26]

We've got the Bears pinned on their line, but their D has been good. We seem to be a bit shallow in attack (less metres in the legs on a hot day perhaps?) - need to adjust that as North's are rushing.

Moala seems a bit out of sorts today...

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Before we go to Inruin, are we being dudded in the ruck?

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Poor miss from Williame who stays down with a leg injury

 

[Stalefish540]

Bears D holding up well, but our attack looks clunky.

Soft try to Bears after withstanding some sets on their own line.

 

[ndp26]

Bears are peppering our left side D, working over Ben Farr.
Their right centre is a gun!
Williame slips off a leg tackle and Mata'afa barges over.
12-0 Bears.

 

[Inruin]

We don't.look great in attack. Bit lacking in shape and crispness. Keep going for the barge over one out.

Poor miss from Williame who stays down with a leg injury

Brayden now off. Laban to left centre and Ale at left second row. Going and Sio playing middle roles

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Horrible defence right on our line. Bears barge over again

 

[ndp26]

Another soft try - the heat is killing the boys out there.
Bears barge over from close range after we drop it from a short kick off (Laban almost had it).
18-0 Bears

 

[Stalefish540]

Long way back from here now.

Heat appears to be playing a factor for our boys, Bears moving the ball well though and making good metres.

 

[ndp26]

We also seem to have our numbering wrong in the D line - always seem to had one too many numbers on the short side. Heat must be playing a factor, and Tu hasn't played too many games out the back.

Would be great to score before half-time. Kalani just forced another drop out.

 

[Inruin]

18-0 halftime not looking good

 

[Stalefish540]

Not a great half for the boys.

18-0 Bears.

Lucky we are running downhill in the second half

 

[ndp26]

It's kind of like the Panthers game last week - we don't look that bad... but we've made a couple of untimely misses / errors and Bears are just icing their opportunities.

Bears are feeling the heat too. We score first after halftime and anything could happen.

 

[kos]

Why do they make it so hard to find and view? Was so much easier when it was on Fox.

Conscious decision to promote women’s game ahead of men’s game

 

[Stalefish540]

Conscious decision to promote women’s game ahead of men’s game

Fair enough, can't really argue with that as it's good to see the women's game growing.

 

[ndp26]

Setu Tu barges over - great try! Volkman converts.
18-6. And a penalty off the kick-off. We've got momentum here

 

[ndp26]

Force an error on halfway, and make good metres on the return.
Bears lying all over the ruck, but we dive over from dummy half.
The ground announcer said it was Graham-Taufa who scored, but it looked like Kalani?

18-12 to Bears. Momentum has swung hard.
