Totally gubbed..... Think it was 42-6 when I left. Poor referee.

Poor ref but a poor performence by ourads, too much dropped ball.



Our number 8 reminded me of Morley, influencial and an absoloute monster. As was number 28.



Burke looked good at full back, and bobbie goulding had a decent game.



But the biggest thing tonight by a mile was the weather, and bloody hell it was freezing. Glad they had refreshments on, think I had about 3 cups of tea.

Had a bad feeling as soon as I saw that Gold and Green jersey.



Started well enough with Burke backing up a good break for the first try, down hill after that though thought we gave them too much cheap ball and tries, them young Aussies though look bloody good all seemed to have a quick step, good passing and run very good attacking lines, number 2 for them looks a beast as did the fullback so many of there players were huge for their age, number 28 for us is a big lad looks like a young Ben Harrison.

Nice to see TS there tonight. Our coaching staff seemed to be taking it very seriously videoing it etc. Should make for an x-rated video nasty debrief. Good crowd as well on a freezing night.

I'm guessing number 8 was Glen Riley ?

Anyone know who number 28 was ?



I thought Warrington would have got a lot closer, the coaching staff must be very disappointed with that scoreline.

I think 28 was john Duffy.... He certainly has 3 shredded wheat for breakfast thats for sure.

Number 28 was Ryan Duffy

i got the duffy bit right





Who was the number 8 for wire? He looked decent

the number 8 was Glen Riley

cheers..... some of the aussies were class.... i especially liked the little number 7... mini alan langer my mate was calling him..... also the number 15 (hooker I think) that came on and went straight through the line twice... he had a fantastic long pass on him from dummy half... plenty of good hard running forwards.. and fast backs with good hands.

I'd agree that the coaching staff would be disappointed with the scoreline, but certainly not the performance. The U18's matched them physically, where they came undone, was capitalising on mistakes, which AIS did do whilst not making that many themselves (we also dropped the ball in our own twenty a couple of times too).



The key difference in my eyes was the decision making. Nine times out of ten what they did came off, especially close to the line, this was one are that disappointed me a little, we rushed ther playmaker/kicker near the line and invariably it would lead to a score. I will contradict myself though, by saying some of our goal line defence was excellent.



As stated in Walter's match report, AIS certainly benefitted for having a few games under their belt, where the U18s timing was a little off, which probably resulted in some of the dropped ball.



Overall, an enjoyable game where the scoreline did not truly reflect the competitiveness of the game.



Special mention to Jordan Burke for two exceptional one-on-one takles after the AIS (7 and 15) had gone through the line.
