Observations from Wenty today

Posted by sixtiesboy on August 24, 2014 at 8:50pm
Thought I'd pop down to Ringrose today and what a performance against the second placed Tigers. The scoreline of 44 to 6 flattered the tigers who only scored in the last 10 sieconds. Solid games from the halves. The forwards worked as a unit and benefitted from the work of Pritchard at dummy half. Great penetration out wide. I don't know much about Butler-Fleming but he was impressive. special mention to Justin Hunt who had an absolute blinder, scoring tries and setting the attack alight every time he joined in.Also a special mention to the young bloke calling out advice to Hunt during the warm up. It was a bit embarrassing for Hunt in a small ground but he took it in good humour. The young bloke was somewhat special. The young bloke also expressed his delight about parra being in the 8 when he caught sight of Tepai in the stand!

    Forgot to include that Pauli had a fairly average game. He just doesn't do some of the basics well. Eg falling on loose balls, getting into position. Also Klein was the ref and he kept the whistle blowing all game.

    Who knows. But it Went something like this - " run harder Justin. Justin! Justin! Run harder Justin!" It was especially funny as he called out to Justin as he went to the dressing rooms and couldn't escape acknowledging the advice.

      I remember seeing that on the Matty Johns show. Too funny. This kid also gave it to Klein.

    Btw, no Fui today. No appearance by Mau. I think it was important for Pritchard to play Nsw cup in case something happens to IDG.

    No forty20 today?

      I couldn't make it out today unfortunately but I'm very happy that Wenty got the revenge thrashing against the Tigers.

      I have some family matters to attend to over the next week or so (which also kept me away today) which would likely ruled me out of next weekend even if Wenty wasn't playing at the same time as first grade. For better or worse I should be right for the NYC and NSW Cup finals.
