CONGRATULATIONS 

Ben Bannister 

Ben had his first game with the Comets at the age of 4years old. 

Last Saturday, seven years on and seven seasons later marked his 

100 th consecutive game for the club. 

He played in the 6/3’s under Matt O’Brien and then the 6/1s under 

Craig Price and was awarded the prestigious Bill Herron 

encouragement award. 

He played in the 7/1’s and 8/1s under Steve Long and then the 9/1s 

and 10/1s under Dave Wright. 

Last season Ben played in the 11/2’s with Russell Eagle and this 

season is under the tutelage of Ned Narouz. 

Bens most memorable moment was playing in last year’s Grand Final 

where he kick a conversion under immense pressure and although 

the game was narrowly lost the experience will live with him for a 

very long time. 

There have been many great moments of his career and many people 

have contributed along the way. Special thanks go to all his coaches 

and trainers who have guided him and shown so much faith in him as

ROUND 2 

ST CLAIR 26 

BLACKTOWN WORKERS 8

This week we travelled to Blacktown Workers Club. The boys played 

really well and put things together. They made two early tries to 

make a final score of 26 to 8. 

Tyson got 2 tries and one conversion, Shonie got 3 tries, and 

Daniel got one. 

Man of the match went to CJ, and although he missed a try this 

week, his defence and urgency for the ball was second to none. 

Bailey received the Crackers Star award, and Daniel received the 

Rebel Sports encouragement award. 

Logan was a big man this week and really impressed on the field. 

The final score doesn't reflect how well Blacktown played, they are 

a really great side. 

The 3,2,1 points went to 2 points to Shonie, 2 points to Tyson and 2 

points to CJ. 

Keep up the good work boys, you are playing fantastically as a team 

and can't wait to see what you deliver at next weeks game!!!

ROUND 2 


WINDSOR 0

ROUND 2Vs Glenmore Park Won 20- 8 

What a fantastic way to begin the season with a great win over 

Glenmore Park. But firstly I'd like to thanks our 2 great sponsors 

Skyworks Scaffolding and St Marys Auto Parts, and welcome players 

back from last year and our new players to the club. 

It was an impressive start to the year with our boys coming away 

winners 20 to 8. Strong defence was the key to our victory with more 

often then not the guys gaining ground without the ball, and scooping 

up a loose ball to score a try. It was very pleasing to see that the 

training in the weeks leading up to the seasons first game has paid 

off, and looking forward to continuing a great season with a great 

little team and very supportive parents. 

Round 2 Vs Windsor Won 24 - 0 

Today seen our guys and girl get to strut their stuff 

on their home field, and didn't they make the most of this 

opportunity. Scoring a fantastic 24 - 0 win over Windsor. It was 

again our defence that stopped Windsor from getting near our line, 

with Jai showing exceptional toughness and technique in brining down 

players from behind. 

Xavier Wes Lachlan Bowden Bailey and Jamari showed their love for 

bullrush at training extended to the games with the boys tackling 

everything in sight, this in turn was supported by devastating running 

by Tyrell Che'-James, and not to be out done little Talia was not shy 

to take on the boys and get up after being shoved in the back pretty 

hard. 

Well done to all our players, who continued with another great 

performance, which won some high praises from the Windsor coach. 

Bring on next week! 

Coach: 

Craige Aldridge


ROUND 2 


CAMBRIDGE PARK 0

What an awesome result boys!!!! Everyone out there had a top game. 

As a coach it is great to watch the way you boys are starting to gel 

together as a team. It is great to see you all out there taking it all in 

and learning the game of Rugby League but at the same time having 

a lot of fun out there. 

Tries this week were scored by: Cooper Barr x 2, Kai x 2, Adam x 2, 

Kian x 2, Zackman Goodwin x 1, and Jack Grieve 1. Jack also kicked 

a great conversion. 

We have got a great little group of boys in our team as well as a 

great group of trainers. I would like to take this opportunity to thank 

our dedicated trainers, Dylan, Nathan and Paul and I would also like 

to thank our very organised Manager Kerrie. 

This week’s Pizza award went to Zachari who had a couple of great 

big tackles. Trainer’s award went to Jack Grieve who put in a hard 

effort at training during the week and also had a great game. The 

Tackling award went to Cooper Barr who again was one of the best of 

the field. And this week’s Man of the Match who had an absolute 

screamer of a game went to Adam Collins. Great effort boys. 

A big congratulations to St Clair Comets Committee for a fantastic 

online Magazine. You can really tell that you have all put a lot of 

hard work into it and we all look forward to being able to read it 

every week. Well done and Thank you!!!!

ROUND 2 


HAWKESBURY CITY 12

A Big thankyou once again to ED’Z FAMILY RESTAURANT at The 

Blue Cattle Dog Hotel, St Clair for their Sponsorship this year. Take 

the family out and Get down there for a meal when you can and 

remember that kids eat free on Saturday and Sunday nights! Also 

thanks to our new back of Jersey Sponsor “WESTCLADD – Carports 

and Awnings – Ph: 0412 476 042” for coming on board as well. 

Our second competition game saw us playing at home against 

Hawksbury City. We had our full team available and the boy’s were all 

keen to get out on the field and play footy. 

Unfortunately we had a slow start, with some fast runners from 

Hawksbury City getting around the outside of our defence to score 

first. We were also surprised to see some great offloads from the 

opposition, so that is something we can work on as the season goes 

on. 

It didn’t take long for the boys to hit back and we scored three tries 

through the match, one each to Jordan, Jaylen and Hone. Hawksbury 

City scored another one and it looked like we were going to hold on 

with a win, until a late try after the final whistle went to Hawskbury, 

so we ended up with an exciting draw. 

I think there was a good improvement this week in the way all of the 

boys got back in the defensive line after each tackle. There was some 

good running and good tackling by all of the boys and Jake was a bit 

unlucky not to get a try as well. 

Our Referee Andrew did a great job in his first game, pulling up play 

a couple of times to explain to the boys some of the finer points of 

the game and keeping the game moving. Thanks to Wayne and Rob, 

our trainers, Linda and Debbie our managers, all the Parents and 

supporters and to Trent and Jack on linesman duties. 

The Final score was a 12 – 12 draw. Congratulations to the Best and 

Fairest, Jaylen, and to Lachlan who got the Pizza Award for a great 

effort.

Trainers: Wayne & Rob

ROUND 2 


DOONSIDE 22

Round 2 for the Under 6 6's div 9 saw us off to Kareela Reserve to 

play Doonside. Doonside had alot of bigger kids compared to us. The 

team tried hard with jake and Brady breaking the defensive line but 

were unable to cross over the line 

Defense let us down a bit but Ethan pulled of the Brute Big Hit when 

he took on one of Doonsde's biggest players front on and came up 

with a solid one on one tackle. 

Jake was our only try scorer but was unable to convert his own try. 

The team played well, but there is always room for improvement and 

i think once we get back to training as normal the side will have a big 

turn around. 

Final score Doonside 22- 4 St Clair

ROUND 2 


QUAKERS HILL 38

The boys had a great attacking game on the weekend scoring 6 tries 

and handling an easy 50% of the possession. We need to work on our 

defence as 7 to 8 tries were scored against us, forcing the game to a 

loss. 

Eliah was a highlight with two golden tries in the corner of the second 

quater. Cameron had a number of benji steps that fooled the quakers 

defence on a number occasions he scored as well. 

Matt Obrien forced his way over for a try and Riley and Byron had a 

busy game in defence making alot of one on one tackles. 

Overall the boys had a good game and we can take alot of positives 

out of this one and we can work on the negatives at training through 

the week.


ROUND 2 


GLENMORE PARK 8

MINCHINBURY 12

7/4s SPONSORED BY SYDNEY SHELVING AND RACKING 

SERVICE. The team looked great in their new Jersey sponsor’s 

name on the front, and the players name on the back. We played 

Minchinbury losing the game on the bell. 

To all PARENTS thank you for getting all the team to training on 

Thursday and getting them to the game on time. And when at the 

game you can yell cheer clap and let the team know they are being

Best on field could have been given to every player on the field. 

JUSTIN scored a try and ran hard all game SABASTIEN also played 

well scoring a try and tacked well all game. MACKENSZIE had a 

good game scoring a very good try and played the last 3 rd as 1 st 

receiver. LUKE and FENICA all made good runs and did some very 

good tackles. MARCOS, JACK and NOAH made some very good runs 

and were very unlucky not to have scored tries. A special mention to 

MIKE your passes are getting better each week. PHOENIX and 

KYAN played well in defense but seen little of the ball. We all played 

well, we just need to work on the little things. This week at training 

we will work on passing the ball back not forward and goal kicking. A 

win will be coming very soon and then there will be no stopping us. 

Well done boys/girl keep it up. Thank you to our sponsor SYDNEY

ROUND 2 


COLYTON 16

Firstly thanks to Blacktown Landscape Supplies for coming 

onboard as our sponsor for 2011 

Our first game at Peppertree and a good win for the boys. 

After 2 weeks playing the top 2 teams in the age group not just in 

Penrith but possibly in all of Sydney it was good to see the team 

bounce back. 

The first period was disappointing. We started well with Kye finding 

touch from the kick off and Silas scoring not long after. Silas was 

again involved in the next try when he popped a great offload to Kye 

who took the ball at full speed and streaked away for a try. We 

scored 2 tries but our defence wasn’t moving up fast enough and we 

also let in 2 tries as well and went to the break ahead 12-10 

The second period saw improved defence but our attack fell away 

with a few boys getting put into touch and thanks to a great try from 

Josh right at the end of the period we were locked at 16 all 

The last period of play was our best of the season so far. Dylan found 

touch from the kick off and our defence dominated Colyton limiting 

their metres and playing the period in great field position. We kept 

Colyton scoreless and put on 2 awesome tries. The first saw Kye 

running the angle drew in the Colyton left side defence before 

throwing a great pass to Skully just the way we have been practising 

and Skully sprinted away for the try. The next try was to Silas who 

barged through the middle of the defence and ran 30m for his second 

try of the day. 

Players Player went to Ezra who made plenty of metres with hard 

running and tackled hard all game. Starry and Nathan played the left 

and right halves positions well keeping the team structured well and 

ran well with limited runs. 

Thanks to everyone who came along to the camp night after the 

game. All the boys had a great time. Hopefully we can organise 

another night at the end of the year

ROUND 2 


BLACKTOWN WORKERS 12

Thankyou to our sponsor Frankham Engineering for your great support. I hope you 

were impressed with the boy’s efforts Larry, thanks for coming out to watch and thanks 

to Jan & yourself for buying McDonalds for the boys after the game, the boy’s loved it. 

This team was a bit bigger than us, but that doesn’t bother our boy’s at all. We were in 

control for the whole game with our brutal defence which gave us good field position 

on the change over to help us score our 9 tries. We are learning how much easier it is 

when we move up in 1 line as a team, and with our fast play the ball, we will be a very 

competitive team this year no matter who we play. Well done boys on a great team 

effort. Bailey received the trainer’s award for his much improved efforts at training 

which definitely reflected in his game. He tackled around the legs, ran hard tucking the 

ball under his arm and kicked a great goal. Jayden received the tackle award for 

tackling better than he ever has before. He probably topped the tackle count, even 

making all 4 tackles in 1 set, & made some great cover tackles down low on the 

biggest boys in their team. Great footwork through the middle & his organising from 

half back just topped off his best game ever. Blade received the pizza award for his 

best game so far, he really has listened & learnt to move up on the outside making it 

easier for him to make those great cover tackles, & his fast footwork through the gaps 

rewarded him with 3 tries & a goal. Tyrell had an awesome game scoring 2 tries with 

his fast in & away, but it was his defence on the left hand side of the field which 

impressed us the most. Not only did he stop them getting past him on his side, he also 

cover tackled on the other side of the field if they managed to get through. Jake is 

starting to move up a bit more in the defensive line which is making it even easier for 

him to make those copy book low tackles. He got to dummy half very quickly for those 

fast play the balls which also helped with his last tackle runs, one of which lead to his 

try & conversion. Tayte is having fun at training & on the field which makes him play 

at his best. With his unbelievable cover tackles on the edges & his fast footwork in & 

out of the opposition, earning him a great try & conversion. Tai Nui made his tackles & 

didn’t let anyone through the gaps either side of him. & with his awareness of the side 

line growing every week was able to step through gaps creating a great try & a 

conversion. Jack is getting better each week; he is protecting his side of the field in 

defence & is running harder than ever knocking anyone in his way to the ground. He 

also has great footwork when there is space which is how he got his terrific try. Corey 

always runs hard & makes valuable metres for his team. His good training is helping 

him improve every week. He is tackling his best & protecting the gaps when they run 

near him. He is our best at running onto the ball & is working on his fast play the balls. 

Harry was way more energetic this week & his talk on the field helped his team mates. 

He stays out of the way like we want all of them to do when it is not their run, but 

unfortunately lead to him only having 2 or 3 runs. But they were good quality runs with 

strong palm offs. Try to keep those palm offs to the chest area & you will be very hard 

to stop. Jacob is concentrating a bit more at training which has improved his game out 

of site. He now comes out of the line fast & is making sure of his tackles. & his fast, 

hard runs with quick play the balls are setting up the next runner while the opposition 

are still trying to get back on side. Sam wasn’t scared to run the ball up the middle at 

the bigger boys & has quickened his play the balls up for his team mates. He did move 

up in the line more often today which made it easier for his team to trap the opposition 

when he did. Good effort considering he was sick all week.

ROUND 2 


QUAKERS HILL 6

We would like to thank our sponsors this season Pioneer Pest Control 

P/L and Photo123. Another great match of footy today and well 

deserved win. We trained hard and played even harder. Still a lot of 

fighting on the field which we will have to get under control. This 

team today was ready for us. Every time we ran through the ruck 

they were on top of the runners. We changed our tactics and took to 

the outsides of the field with a great diagonal running up the field 

through the gaps. This worked well with try after try hitting the score 

board. I think today all the players learnt a valuable lesson to wrap 

the ball up as the opposition was constantly offloading to the big 

forwards. Highlights of the game Nathan with 3 tries and 1 being the 

most amazing with nearly every man on deck keeping the ball rolling 

down the field, offload to offload then Nathan finding the try line on 

the end of third bell. Justin with a big sprint down the side line with a 

try and big kick which bounced off the middle post. Sabian, Jaiden, 

Stuart also bagging a try. Ben, Blake, Alex, Sabian converting today. 

Tackles off the charts again. Stuart, Blake, Logan, Alex, Sabian and 

Nathan ranking high in the tackle count. Brenton, Jaiden, Justin, Ben 

not far behind. Well played game guys keeping us in 1 st position on 

the ladder.

HAWKSBURY CITY 42

I would like to thank our sponsor Brian Palombo of Kookaburra 

Plumbing. Today’s game there’s not much to say, last week we had 5 

or 6 players having a go, today we had 3 or 4 having a go. What we 

need is for all 8 players to have a dig. Alek no ball last week, this 

week gets the ball and 3 tries and a goal. Hayden scored 1 goal. 

Jacob’s tackling saved 4 tries. Todd and Ryan tried hard and Connor 

made some good inroad. I thought Blake’s game was his best but I 

can see he has a lot more to show us through out the rest of the 

season. Justin and Hayden just could not get into the game this 

week, but next week they could turn that around and have blinders. I 

said it would take about 4 weeks to look like a team, so 2 down and 2 

to go, then we’ll see how we are going. 

Last weeks Kookaburra Man of the match and Pizza Down Under 

award went to Justin and Ryan. This week’s awards go to Jacob and

WINDSOR 6

Thank you to our sponsor WEST CITY TYRES for your support of the 

boys it is greatly appreciated. Today the boys took on windsor and 

after a good win last week the boys were determined to make it 2 in 

a row. Windsor came out firing and with our boys starting slowly they 

scored first to lead 6-0. Windsor continued to dominate with our 

defence not moving up they nearly scored again until rabbit made an 

outstanding try saving tackle after chasing a player nearly the length 

of the field. We were slowly getting in the game and after some great 

lead up work from speedy dyl we were able to score to go to half time 

at 6 all. We came out in the second half with a huge improvement in 

defence with Aiden leading the way. Despite still making mistakes 

with the footy our defence kept us on top and gave us a chance to 

win the game. With some great lead up work from Thomas And 

Elijah, Joe was able to score a try with a minute to go and give us a 

hard thought win. Thomas was outstanding hitting the ball up and 

going straight through their defence on several occasions. Junior was 

at his defensive best tackling anything that moved. Blake had another 

great game with his passing again outstanding. Luke kept his runners 

going forward despite the marker being in his face all day long. Tyler 

was elusive in attack causing trouble with every touch. Jayden 

continued to get runners on the outside oof their defence andis really 

playing well in his new role. Rylan and Jacko took the ball forward all 

day and made sure we were always ona roll. Well boys 2 from 2 lets 

get to training and keep working hard. Tries Joe 2 Goals Joe Aiden.

ROUND 2 



St Clair under 9’2s v’s Blacktown Workers lost nil – 22. 

Firstly I would like to welcome the following new players to our club 

Aaron, Rohnan and Jordan and both Blake and Daniel ( DJ ) and 

Mathew (nuggett ) whom played for different teams last year. 

I hope you all fit in well with our remaining players from last year 

which are Flynn, Coby, Zac, Lachlan, Peter, Brandon, Xavier and 

hopefully we will have a fun filled season ( although today we had a 

little hiccup, but as they say next weeks another game and possibly a 

better result ). 

This weeks game was our first of the season as last week we had the 

bye and it showed from the opening whistle that we never seemed 

switched on. We constantly missed tackles ( made plenty of fairy 

tackles ) and when we had the ball we couldn’t keep possession. At 

half time the score was 14 nil and not looking good. The second half 

was a bit more promising with us getting a little more ball but again 

poor handling cost us dearly and we paid the price with the final score 

being 22-nil loss. 

While it was a disappointing result I feel it could be a turning point as 

the look on the players faces at the end of the game said it all. 

Hopefully everyone will turn up to training this week in the right 

frame of mind this week where we can fix some of our problems. “ Go 

Comets Go “.

WINDSOR 10

Firstly, a huge thank you to our Major sponsor Attractive Painting & Decorating. 

Give Sami a call on 0410 623 801 for all those unfinished jobs at home. Thank 

you also to Titan Logistics, our minor sponsor this year. 

This week we had J-Man as captain after achieving the training award. We played 

another great game boys and were unlucky not to come away with a win - leading 

8-0 most of the game. Coach will be working on our fitness and goal kicks at 

training this week. Our tackling was hard and we did a terrific job holding Windsor 

out. Our off loads were awesome this week – you boys were much better at 

backing up and look dangerous when you throw the ball around! 

In the 1 st half we had Mojo as dummy half, Joey as 1 st receiver, Crusher as 1 st 

runner, Whippet as 2 nd runner, Falcon as 3 rd runner, Sly Fox as 4 th runner and 

Dewsey as 5 th runner. Joey and Bull were marker this half. We started off strong, 

Joey skilfully catching a high Windsor kickoff. Mojo made a terrific Kick & Chase 

on the last tackle, unlucky not to regain the ball. Sontan, Bull & Falcon were 

tackling hard. Joey had all the parents yelling with an awesome intercept that 

Falcon skilfully turned into a try! Joey did a great job as marker, moving up fast 

to tackle. Dewsey made a crushing tackle, taking Windsor over the sideline. 

Whippet made a good hard run, Bull threw a great offload to Dewsey, Sly Fox was 

running hard then made a terrific offload to Crusher who scored an awesome try! 

NJ was SO close to converting, I actually thought the ball went over until the flags 

said otherwise. Windsor kicked a short ball and J-Man knew exactly what to 

do...leaving the ball for another penalty our way. Codesta was running hard and 

straight and Mojo made it over the line but with a hard call from the reff, his try 

was disallowed – again I was jumping around like an idiot thinking he had scored. 

The score 8-0 after a terrific first half. 

In the 2 nd half we had Whippet as dummy half, Falcon as 1 st receiver, Joey as 1 st 

runner, NJ as 2 nd runner, J-Man as 3 rd runner, Codesta as 4 th runner and Sontan 

as 5 th runner. J-Man and Mojo were markers this half. 

Again we started off strong; J-Man with a beautiful kickoff and Bull making a 

great tackle but unfortunately Windsor scored and converted, making it 8-6. We 

were still holding on, Joey & Codesta making an awesome sideline tackle, stoping 

a try. NJ tried hard to take advantage with a great run, offloading to Codesta who 

made a great sidestep but was unlucky not to break through. Falcon made a great 

Kick & chase. Sontan, Joey & NJ made a wonderful sideline tackle – stopping 

another try. We tried to find our try line again, Dewsey offloading to NJ who 

offloaded to Sontan. Dewsey made a great run but we just couldn’t get to our try 

line. Sly fox made a good tackle, Joey, Dewsey and Whippet made a great 

combined tackle but unfortunately with 3 minutes on the clock, and no reserves 

left - Windsor went in for another try. This made them hungry for more but you 

boys did extremely well not to let them in, Sontan, Dewsey & Mojo making great 

tackles. Another great game guys! I think Windsor will be our rivals this year. 

WE’LL GET THEM NEXT TIME BOYS!!!

WINDSOR 4

I would like to thank Platinum Interstate Transport NSW for coming on 

board as our sponsor for the year. Give them a call for all your transport 

needs on 0410 511 450. I would also like to thank DES LONG for donating 

the Man of the Match and Tackler of the Week Trophy's. 

This weeks match was against Windsor at Peppertree Oval. The game started 

off well with great defence from both sides. When ZANE ran hard onto the 

ball to crash over in the corner we were up 4 - 0. Windsor hit back soon after 

and the scores were tied at 4 - 4. Windsor gave away a penalty for punching 

after KEVIN smashed them in a tackle. He made them pay when he had 

the first run and split them up the middle to score. We were up 8 - 4. 

When KEVIN scored his second for the day we went into half time leading 12 

- 4. 

The second half saw ROCKET dummy left and dive right to score in the corer 

and the lead was out to 16 - 4. CAZ hit the ball hard and ran half of the field 

and dragged a few defenders over to score and we were leading 20 - 4. 

SIMMO finished off the day with a great try stepping and swerving through 

the defence. RILO nailed the conversion to make the final score 26 - 4. 

This week's win was a great team effort with everyone contributing. Although 

we scored six tries today the highlight was our great defence. 

ROCKET - Scored 1 try and used his vision to organise well as first receiver. 

KEVIN - Scored 2 great tries and was great in defence especially from 

marker. 

JUNIOR - Had a couple of good strong runs and tackled well. 

CAZ - Scored a great try and troubled Windsor every time he ran the ball. 

BREA - Had a great game with good strong running with the ball and good 

tackling. 

LIAM - Ran onto the ball hard and made a few good tackles. 

RILO - Kicked a great conversion and organised well at dummy half. His 

tackling was great again this week. 

ZANE - Scored a great try and ran the ball up hard all day. His defence was 

great as well. 

CONNOR - Made some great one on one tackles proving to himself that he 

can do it. He also ran the ball strongly. Connor got the PIZZA Award for his 

improved defence. 

MICHAEL - Played his first game of league and was great. He came close to 

scoring on a few occasions and tackled brilliantly. Michael got the TOP 

TACKLERS Trophy for his great defence. 

JOSH - Scored a great try, ran the ball hard and tackled great, especially 

when he was at marker. Josh got the MAN OF THE MATCH Trophy this 

week for a great all round game.


ROUND 2 


COLYTON 0

It was a good form reversal after last week's loss. The boys attitude was 

much better and they were much more focused on their jobs.We gave 

Colyton a nice welcome into first division with a brutal display in 

defence. Our boys were just too big and fast for their opponents.We had a 

really good training session and it showed on the field. Our structure was 

much better and we stuck to it the entire match. There is still plenty of 

room for improvement and that really excites me as a coach. Our new 

boys are starting to gel and our experienced boys led the way. We scored 

some entertaining tries much to the delight of the spectators. It was hard 

to single out any one player as they all played well. The only thing I 

could fault was our goal-kicking 2 from 7 was pretty awful, it must have 

been a dodgy ball. Well done boys. This is a great improvement and let's 

keep it going. As always, a huge thanks to our sponsors AVS 

SECURITY and BJ EGGS.

ROUND 2 


WINDSOR 0

Good win by the boys this week, a little too good. Windsor had 

no answer for our Attack and when they did have the ball our 

scrambling defense was excellent. 2 weeks in a row teams 

have not been able to cross our line, our fitness looked a bit 

better but we didn’t need to make many tackles so we need to 

keep working hard at training as we have yet to play the top 

sides in out comp yet so we will need to keep progressing. 

Points this week went to Charlie, Kaine, JD they were 

outstanding . it was a good team effect and very pleasing 

when everyone has a run and makes tackles as we play a 

team sport and it is getting harder to pick the man of the 

match when everyone is playing very well .

work boys .

ROUND 1 


WINDSOR 6

First of all I would like to thank our sponsor, McDonalds Blacktown 9676 – 7129 

for their generous support, the boys and everyone really appreciate it. This week 

it was all about the right attitude. I was trying to get the boys to realise that they 

have to be more serious come game time because everyone wants to beat us. I 

was so proud of the way the boys played. Not the score line but the things they 

did on the field. I told the forwards to dominate and they did. I told the team to 

back each other up and they did. I told them to tackle in 2’s and 3’s and they did. 

And at half time I told them to get the ball 1 pass wider to score, they did and we 

scored 3 trys from doing this. It is fantastic to watch the boys do in the game 

what we practice at training, hopefully the boys have learnt that they can’t muck 

around and expect to win games. Austin had another top game bagging a double 

and crunching in defence but had 2 big mistakes when he failed to find touch 

something practice will fix. Azza had an outstanding game at 5/8, his runners 

were always organised and he took on the line himself and threw in a nice switch 

play. Great game from Troy unlucky not to get a couple of trys himself with some 

top runs and off loaded to set up a try. AJ had a top game not only did he do his 

usual hard runs and defence but he started to offload to support which was great 

to see. Baley had a top game at D/H always in position and backed up his runners 

the whole game. Great game from Triky at half back, some nice run arounds and 

some great one on one defence in the middle of the ruck. Rock exploded in the 

2 nd half where he off loaded 3 times for 3 trys ran himself to a stand still and 

picked up a try for himself. Joel went on in the 2 nd half and went on a tackling 

frenzy hitting anything that ran his way, great effort buddy. Blocker was ready to 

explode before kick off and smashed them apart when he went on the big fend 

was working overtime and he made huge ground with every run. I told Sal to get 

more involved this week and I think he had one of his best games as a Comet. 

Not only did he take the ball up hard and worked hard in defence but he backed 

up in attack and scored a double because of this extra effort, great game mate. 

What Sal did on the left Aydos did on the right. Hard runs and hard defence a 

super effort from the player I know you are keep it going buddy. Clear the way 

big Jaedyn has arrived. I spoke to him before the game and in my opinion set up 

the win with one of the best halves of footy I have seen he went on a wrecking 

mission and the team followed. Keep the confidence up like I told you, you belong 

in 1 st Division. Aaron (Cash), much better game mate. I told you I picked you 

because I can see your ability. Don’t drop your head when you make a mistake 

because every one makes mistakes. Keep your chin up and try harder, be 

confident and play for your team trust the people around you. It was great to see 

you pick up your first try for the Comets I’m sure it won’t be your last.Trys : 

Austin x 2, Salva x 2, AJ x 1, Triky x 1, Rock x 1, Cash x 1. Goals Snake x 1, Azza 

x 1, Hanno x 1, AJ x 1, Blocker x 1, Sal x 1, Cash x 1. Tackle of the week went to

momentum going, remember WE ARE COMETS WE ARE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROUND 2 


WINDSOR 30

Today the U11/2's were up against Windsor at Wolves home ground. 

It was a warm day but the boys were ready to play and hoped to get 

a win. Good to see the boys putting in the hard yards and backing 

each other when defending. Tackles were being made by 2 and 

sometimes 3 of our boys at a time. Some standout one on one 

tackles were made by BANNO, GIBBO and ZAC. Hard yards up the 

middle were made by KYE, GUN, JYE, STARRY, CHANNY, LUKE and 

ZAC. SPEEDY was solid on the left side with STIGSY & BILLY often 

cleaning up on the right. Windsor made it over the line first and 

managed to convert their try making the score 6-0. Our first try was 

scored by WICKSY once again with great foot work & pace to 

burn. WICKSY also converted his try to put the score at 12-6. 

BANNO managed to break their line and went over for our 2nd try of 

the day and also converted with a clever cross field run with a 

dummy to fool the defence of the Wolves. Unfortunately Windsor 

were the better side in the second half & raced away for the win. 

Most of there points were scored after we made mistakes or gave 

away penalties which will be rectified with the boys listening to Luke 

& Pawski & putting the skills learnt at training into match day. The 

boys should hold their heads up as they never gave up & the next 

time these two teams meet I think it will be a different result. If you 

boys put the hard yards in at training and listen and learn from what 

your coach and trainer has to tell you, the team will do well this year. 

Just a reminder that we still do not have a sponsor for the team so 

if anyone knows of someone who may wish to sponsor our team 

please let Luke know. The pizza award last week went to STARRY and 

this week the pizza award went to ZAC.

ROUND 2 


WINDSOR 26

After a solid performance last week against a well drilled St Marys pack our 

focus this week was to be consistent and build on what we did last week. As 

the game started we did the basics right and we were poised for a solid 

performance....but then the "first half curse" hit the team again with the 

Windsor team scoring twice in the first half taking them 12 nil up at the 

break. A Pep talk was all the boys needed as they clawed their way back into 

the game to level at 12-12....Then it was an arm-wrestle between the 2 

teams for the remaining 10 minutes of the game to see who would take 

home the spoils. As fate would have it the boys it was the bounce of the ball 

which would decide the game as the Windsor team grounded a last tackle 

kick after the final bell to walk away with the win. Definitely another gutsy 

effort from the boys just very unfortunate to be on the wrong side of the 

ledger losing after the final whistle by the bounce of the ball. All players 

played well and displayed their growing skill levels especially after defending 

many back to back sets. Many of the calls were touch and go but the boys 

showed tremendous composure and discipline towards the officials by just 

playing on and completing the task at hand. Its a slow star for the season 

for our developing team but we are definitely on the right track to having a 

very successful year in what is shaping up to be a tough competition. 

A couple of special mentions go to lil' CLARKIE for taking on the Windsor boys 

on countless occasions bringing them down with no fear of his own safety, 

STEVEN played solid through the middle and made excellent inroads. and the 

mini try scoring machine in ANTONIO showed he can rip it with the big boys 

and still score tries as he builds on his tally for the year. JORDZ, TYLER, 

AARON had strong attacking games with MATT, JAI and HATCHER 

complementing the attack with solid defense on the fringes. PARMY CAELAN 

and SCOOBY Controled the ruck area and kicking game very well giving 

players like SHAUN, KOSO, and ARONA enough space to try lay the platform 

down for the young speedsters to find holes. 

Overall an excellent performance, We are a team of slow starts with strong 

finishes so boys our focus is simple....we need to get stuck in and do the 

business early on in the game and then give a strong finish to put them 

away.

ROUND 2 



It had to happen; we have come back to earth with a thud after good 

trial form and a big win last week to now suffer a loss that we hope 

will be a big lesson to us all. A number of factors stood out regarding 

this loss with two glaring areas of concern; our completion rate was 

under 50% and a 7 to 5 penalty count against us just gave Workers 

way too much ball. Compare this to last week’s game with a much 

reduced possession turnover and it’s not too difficult to see how we 

can improve. We made far too many basic mistakes, incorrect play 

the ball, forward passes, loose carries, high tackles and way too 

many missed tackles. I think we were lucky to finish just the 8 points 

in arrears. That’s the negatives however there were also some 

positives to come out of the game with the big guys Douglas Omeli 

and Jayden Moore with some powerful runs and solid defence, one 

massive tackle by Jarryd Tucker that shook the ground late in the 

game and a two try effort by Joshua Wright that at least kept us 

competitive. Our new guys Dylan Rayner, Joshua Payne, Bayley 

Webber, Benjamin Wanstall and Douglas Omeli all appear to 

have settled in well and will improve more as the season goes on. We 

missed Jaydean Savage today who was away for the weekend and 

injuries to Zane Long and Daniel O’Brien didn’t help our cause but 

hopefully with a full turnout at training during the week and 

everybody back on deck we will go into round 3 with a more positive 

outlook. We all know how good this side is and our capabilities so 

learn from this defeat and let’s get the Australian Real Estate- 

Westbus team back into the winners circle. Thank you to Mick Knoll 

for his efforts as second trainer today and to Jack Allison for touch 

duty, thanks guys.

QUAKERS HILL 6

First I would like to congratulate Ben Bannister on his 100th game on 

Saturday for the comets, he had a blinder of a game with good 

tackles, good line brakes and a top try, but we won't mention his kick 

at goal. The boys started off the half slow with Quakers Hill being the 

first to score, then we muscled up in defense got the ball back and 

returned a few brilliant trys back of our own. We continued scoring 

trys into the second half. Boys we played a much better game this 

week with our defense we moved up and shut down all there big 

blokes and our ball sets worked good we forced the mistakes in their 

half. The key to wining our games is CONSISTENCY. We have to play 

hard in defense and attack every week. Our front rowers who played 

very well together made alot off meters and scored points, we had 

our halves and backs working to gather to score most of out points. 

Good talk out there boys well done , our try scores were: Ryan 

scoring 2, Ben, Mitchell, Tom, Liam, Kyle, and Jayden all scoring 1 

each.

ROUND 2 


BLACKTOWN 8

After our loss last week we were hoping to turn things around this 

week. Our training during the week was a bit lack luster as was our 

warm up on the day. For the first half we played how we trained and 

allowed an early try to Blacktown. For the rest of the half our defense 

was good with some great desperation tackling stopping Blacktown 

time and time again as we spent most of the half in our own territory. 

As good as our tackling was we were not moving up off the line and 

Blacktown scored again right on the half time siren. After a good 

talking to at half time the boys looked a bit better in the 2 nd half help 

out by several penalties to us via some head high and spear tackling 

from Blacktown. After a few chances we managed to score with 3 

minutes to go with only one minute to go by the time Blacktown 

kicked off. With only a few seconds on the clock Kallani crossed over 

after a brilliant solo run to give us the lead and the game. We were 

very lucky but 2 points is 2 points and we will take it. The coaching 

staff will be looking for a lot of improvement over the next week or so 

but congratulations to the boys on their win. Mitch E took out man of 

the match after a really solid game in attack and defense. Mitch J 

took out the tackling award with a really strong defensive game. 

Kallani got the parents pick after his game winning try and Luke got 

the pizza award for another good all-round game.

ROUND 2 


WINDSOR 6

First of all I would like to apologise for no report last week and welcome 

everyone back for season 2011 in the off season we were lucky to recruit 7 

new player to the team they are Jayden , Latham , Jarrod, Austin, Honey, 

Isiah and we welcomed Zac and Lachie back into the fold. 

The trials were an up and down period with some really good wins and 1 poor 

performance and after last weeks bad start we really turned up today 

knowing that we had to perform a lot better than we did last week and with a 

better attitude. 

Todays game was never going to be easy as Brothers are in the top 4 teams 

in the comp but we really did show up today and were dominant from the 

kickoff with the team scoring numerous tries with good off loads and in 

defence we were just brutal at times with the boys working together to slow 

them down in the play balls and Brothers only being able to score off one bad 

attempt in defence . 

In attack we saw some plan moves work which saw Jake march down the 

field to score one of his 3 tries and the boys really working together today 

with good offloads it was also good to see some of the tip ons working today 

with this catching the brothers defence out numerous times. 

Standouts for me today were Caleb who really gave the side the direction 

they needed and had a good kicking game aswell and Jayden at the back 

really came into the game today after quite start to the year I think he will be 

a game breaker for me later in the season.in the forwards Jake really seemed 

to be hitting some good form and will get better as the season progresses 

and Bryce who had Bracers put on during the week really was handful for the 

defence every time he touched the ball and I thought Jarrod had a good 

game aswell with some nice offloads and great defence and Lachie Kenny 

really worked hard in defence aswell. 

So boys lets get back to training this week and work hard again as we have 

Glenmore and I am expecting a big game from everyone. Also to all the

ROUND 2 


QUAKERS HILL 0

This is our first report for the season as we started with the BYE. So i 

would like to start saying thank you to our sponsor MORTGAGE 

CHOISE ST.MARY'S who have sponsered us for two years know, so 

thank you very much. Also a special thanks to Connie Catlin who has 

become our manager not because we asked but because she could 

see that we needed one,so a thanks to Connie and welcome 

aboard.We also have to thank those to 12 year old boys who backed 

up for us and got themselves into trouble by playing better in our 

game than they did in there own,THOMAS and MITCHELL,THANK 

YOU! 

We played Quakers Hill on the weekend and for a side that had 

been mercied the week prior certainly showed up to play some 

serious footy. Quakers started on fire which i think put the wind up 

our boys and threw us of our game plan, one out running from the 

forwards, no real back line movements going on, lots of drop ball, 

and silly penalties all going against us. To the boys credit, they 

refused Quakers any points considering they stood on our try line for 

alot of the first half. With a few stern instructions at half time our 

boys certainly turned things around in the second half, executing 

forward movements and backline movements the way that we know 

they can. 

An excellent game from Tyler and Cameron who constantly took the 

ball forward with aggression and Zac who is one of if not the smallest 

on our team, showed absolutley no respect for his own well being in 

defence GOOD JOB BOYS! Tries go to Brodie(2), Brad(2), Roza(1), 

Tyler(1), Thomas(1). Goals to Mark 1 from 3 and Drew 2 from 4. 

Last but not least we have a boy playing his 100th game this comimg 

weekend, CHRIS DEKRETSER "CONGRATULATION" you better make it 

a big one these oppertunites dont happen every day.


ROUND 2 


WINDSOR 14

Yes, again it was a loss against Windsor but in the true spirit of the game the 

boys did themselves proud standing up to the barrage of the Windsor wolves 

in the first half. They scored 2 tries in the first half and definitely different in 

the second half. Yes again they can hold their heads up high going within 

inches of the try line to win the game. The boys went in for 2 tries in the 

second half with the rampaging Ethan (Blocker) Corliss running over the 

defence from the Windsor wolves, at one stage carrying 4 defenders over the 

try line. It was no pain and never give up attitude from Ethan. Steven (Legs) 

Cuizon our new boy in the team and his first time to play a game with the 

team played like I have to be there to support and that he did. If ever there 

was a break Steven was there first. Zac (Z) Rowley was another stand out 

player in the game with his sidestep and speed created room for the bigger 

boys to run into. Jacob (Bruzer) Curcuruto lived up to his nickname with his 

tackles, there was no one going to pass him. No Pain no Gain was the 

attitude. There were 14 players who played the game and they all individually 

did what they had to do to win that game but they ran out of time. Ethan did 

go over for 2 more tries but they were disallowed. Players are Eoin (Rory) 

McRory, Jamie (Smiley) Dlouhy, Brendon (Brenny) Fuller, Jacoda (jack) 

Tubnor, Ryan (Razor) Bemrose, Trent (Ranga) Bemrose, Nickolas (Nick) 

Marinkovich, Save (Bull) Ingleton, Brendon (Truck) Lawrie and Ben (Bear) 

Donnelly all played their part in trying. Hold your heads up high boy as you 

did all that you could and there is no one that can say you didn’t. you can 

rest assured if anyone is more proud of you boys is your COACH. 

DON’T FORGET we are having a FETE on the 14 th of May at Peppertree 

Reserve from 9am till 3pm. Come and join in the fun as there is no footy that 

weekend due to grading. We have Jumping Castles, BBQ, Games to play, and

ROUND 2 


BLACKTOWN CITY 0

Firstly a BIG ‘Thanks’ must go to our sponsors for this season; ‘Skel- 

Hire’, our major sponsor and also to ‘Chemwaste’, ‘Pinnacle 

Logistics’ and ‘Aust. Bird Pest Management’. Your support is 

greatly appreciated by our team… The players, coaching staff, 

families and supporters. We hope you enjoy our year with us. Round 

2, saw the Comets take on Blacktown City at ‘The Cauldron’. After a 

solid performance in Round 1, beating an enthusiastic St Marys outfit, 

the boys were looking to make it two on the trot. They didn’t 

disappoint, as the boys got away to a fantastic start, completing their 

sets and scoring a couple of early tries. The defence was massive, to 

say the least, and never allowed City into the game. Our only real 

opponent in the first half was ourselves, with silly little errors 

creeping into our game late in the first half. The team went into the 

break leading 14-0, and were confident to fix the errors and complete 

the demolition job they started. The 14/2’s were relentless in defence 

and attack, and were clinical in their dissection of the opposition. 

Everyone had a great game today, and the boys contributed to the 

victory equally. The end score shows exactly how much the boys 

changed gear in the second half. Great effort fellas… Remember, we 

need to continue working hard!!! The big games are still to come, 

with some exceptional opposition still to come. Darcy Rankmore, 

won the Players Player award for this week, with Dayton Fernandez 

runner-up. A special mention to the Red Cattle Dog, Brendan Tait 

who was everywhere. He has the heart of a front row forward with 

the body of a little half back. Continue to strive and always work 

towards our goals. Thanks for the effort boys. Thanks to Nicky 

Myers and Trish Tait for their amazing work in securing our 

sponsors and for all the other things that go unseen behind the 

scenes! Love your work ladies! Thanks to Nicky for washing the 

jerseys, and to the Tait, Harris Families for their hard work at field 

duties. Thank You! Thanks to Joe and Rod for your enthusiasm, and 

for being our trainers. Great team effort everyone! Go Comets! 

Coach: Craig Powell 

Mangers: Nicky Myers & Trish Tait 

Trainers: Joe Harris & Rod McAnaulty.


ROUND 2 


WINDSOR 0

Firstly let me thank all of our sponsors for the year and a big 

welcome to all of the players. Though I had missed filing our report 

from our first game we done well against the Rooty Hill team which 

took out the Division 6 Title last year by mercy rule. Due credit has 

to be given though to the Rooty Hill team for fronting with only 11 

players and scoring a few great tries against the boys. This is what 

Rugby League is about, playing the game regardless of the odds and 

trying as hard as you can!!!! 

Round 2 pipped us against the Blacktown City 15's who I will say are 

probably the biggest pack I have seen through all of the teas in 

the 15's Division. There was no expectations put on the boys and this 

we have drilled (trainers & myself) into the boys since we managed 

to start training together. With a team complied of old players, 

new(ish) players and first year players, the initial challenge was to 

ensure all players got to a level where they could safe on the field. 

Through all of our trainings we have only concentrated on 2 things, 

Fitness & Defence. From the kick off we started well with some great 

defence in the middles which allowed us to limit the yardage there big 

boys were making and force there team into errors. This allowed us 

to take a 6 - 0 lead. The first half was a game of chess with both 

teams defending well but lacking execution with ball in hand. An 

error by us on there goal line cost us with the next play resulting in a 

run away try to the Blacktown Team. The 2nd half was a lot tougher 

with another big boy entering the field for the Blacktown team and 

called on more defence from our boys. With the heat our boys really 

fatigued, but to there credit they never gave in. All players put in a 

great effort and though we went down 24-22 all boys really stood up 

in the face of such a big team. From day 1 the 15/3's have been told 

and will continue to be told that results will not drive this team, team 

work and great team ethics will drive this team. We will head back 

into training with a hard emphasis on dominating in tackles & fitness. 

We thank all of our vocal supporters and hope to see you all there 

again through out the entire season. This is our team with our 

support!!!!

Managers - Tammy & Debbie 

Trainers - Morehu, Jess(ster) & Lafu


ROUND 2 


BROTHERS 16

A big thank you goes out to Peter Hickey and his staff at VALLEY 

FITNESS, St Marys who once again have come on board as our 

major sponsor for the season 2011. Other sponsors for the 2011 

season are SECUREGUARD, GLORIA JEANS CASTLE HILL, 

XPLICIT POWER BOAT RACING, without your support the boys 

would not have the gear so a big thank you. 

Well today was going to be a real test as we only had one reserve 

and this was Kyle who plays for the 15/1's. Thankyou Kyle for helping 

us out you did a great job. We started the game with all guns blazing 

and quickley raced to a 16-0 & this was without even kicking any 

goals, and then half time greated us. The second half started the way 

i expected with Brothers coming out and throwing the ball around and 

in quick consession the scoreline was now 16-12. Brothers were now 

starting to dominate & our boys really needed to get back to our 

game plan and to hold the footy. This occured and we came away 

with a gutsy win. We will welcome back two of our Norths rep players 

next week which we will take with open arms. That makes it two wins 

from two now and we are coming along nicely. We play Windsor at 

home next week and this will be another test for us, but we will be up 

for it. 

Players Player this week went to Dylan Robinson who again played 

well above his weight, for his size he plays like a front rower. Well 

done mate good effort.

ROUND 2 


BROTHERS 4

The 16/2’s would like to thank the following sponsors for their 

support this year. The Clean Plumber (who has come on board 

with the team for the 3 rd year in a Row), JKE Shade, who has come 

back for a second year, and one of our new sponsors KwikFix – 

Heavy Vehicle repairs and the ongoing support from Mick at Mathew 

Meats – St Clair It was the grand final replay and the bragging 

rights were on the line. Both teams had players new and old and 

were ready for a tough match. The team had learnt from the 

previous week that if they hit the line at speed and hit the holes at 

speed and power that things would open up and the rest would be 

history. Just on queue it happened. After some great defence and 

powerful running the backs took the line on and with a fantastic pass 

from Riley to a steamrolling Adam who beat a couple of players 

flicked it onto Jay to score out wide his first of 2 tries. It was a great 

start to the game. About 5 mins later the same thing occurred and 

again the backs were having a field day with some great razzle dazzle 

ball movement Riley split the defence to score his first of 2 tries. This 

was followed up by Jay and Wayne R to round out the first half 22 – 

nil. Unlike last year we found 2 goal kickers and with both converting 

from out wide it was good to see. To be honest the backs only had 

good ball because of the foundation laid by the forwards. Wayne M, 

Mat, Louie, John & Aiden played it hard and fast and the hits kept on 

coming. They were relentless in defence and attack. The rest of the 

forwards chimed in and all in all, the whole forward pack played a 

great game, they did not stop. The second half was a more defensive 

effort with the ball going from one end to the other. The goal line 

defence from the guys was stronger then before and held them out 

for most of the second half. It wasn’t until a small lapse in play and a 

bit of luck that sore Brothers score. In the end the final score was 28 

– 4 with 2 tries each to Jay & Riley, along with Wayne R picking up a 

try also. In the Goal kicking Adam kicked 3 from 4 and Wayne R1 

from 1. Yes we had a great win and many positives from it but there 

is still room for improvement. This week meat tray winner was 

Adams mum – well done hope you enjoy. Once again thanks to our 

great sponsors The Clean Plumber, JKE Shade, & KwikFix and the 

ongoing support from Mathew Meats – St Clair. Our player of the 

match this week was Wayne M.

ROUND 2 

ST CLAIR 

PENRITH WARATAHS

Today we took on Penrith waratahs on their home ground. After last 

week’s loss it was crucial that we get a confidence win. We started 

confidently enough with tries to BJ, Mick and Luke moat we went out 

to a 14 nil lead, but as per last week the boys got into their heads 

that this was going to be a easy game. Well how wrong they were, 

and with some indifferent plays waratahs got 2 tries and they were 

back in it, by st Clair doing things that junior teams do, we didn’t 

commit to play as a team and waiting around for someone to do 

something. 

The 2 nd have was full of errors by St Clair and with this came 

frustration and we got ourselves in to a bit of a hole, with some 

ordinary plays, but with this also came some good defence and a 

improvement with the ball near the opposition try line and a couple of 

tries we stretched the score line out a late try to waratahs made the 

score a little respectable, a 70m intercept by Luke came at the 

correct time. 

Today’s man of match was Luke moat who had a excellent game from 

dummy half and his defence around the ruck also close behind was BJ 

and Luke Dossal, who was players player. Declan made some great 

runs early, Demo continued his good early form ,and dean who came 

on ,displayed that he wants his spot back with some strong defence.. 

Tome had his game of strong defence and running. There is a lot of 

improvement left and this will come as each week goes past, but the 

attitude needs to change at training. 

Also thanks to Errol and Joel once again for doing a great as

ROUND 1 


BROTHERS 10

Thank you to all our sponsors. The Blue Cattle Dog, Pirtek Smithfield, 

Meares Consulting Engineers, Grima Recycling, Reach Crane Trucks, 

The Underground Brew Bar Erskine Park. The boys took on brothers 

with only 16 Comets but the truth is that we knew we had their 

measure. We lost the toss and were forced to play the first halve 

running into a strong wind. But this didn`t slow us down as we ran in 

try after try and most of them from 70 meters out. The second half 

saw us lose a little shape and yet we still crushed our hapless 

opponents. All and all the boys played well and did all they needed to 

do to bring home the win. Scoreboard- 3 try`s to Jordon Campbell, 1 

each to Benn, Beggsy, Nathan, Knarley, Trent, Luke and Hendo. Plus 

5 out of 6 goals to Hendo. Special thanks go to our strappers and 

trainers and to Paul and Chris and Darren T who do all the little 

things that get us over the line. Cheers!!! MVP- Jordon Campbell, 

2points to Beggsy & 1 Hendo .

ROUND 2 


DOONSIDE 12

Today we travelled to Doonside for our second game of the year and 

we were hoping to build on our first up win. Our pre game warm up 

was again very quiet and our attitude was again not where it should 

have been and this reflected in our first half performance which was 

unorganized, sloppy, lacking intensity and from a spectators point of 

view very poor to watch and I went out of my way to ask a regular 

follower of the team what his thoughts were and embarrassing was 

the response I got. At half time our players were asked about why we 

are playing the football we are and it was a very quiet huddle as not 

too many players could explain why a team with so many division 1 

players are playing with no enthusiasm and it is being left to 2 or 3 

players to continually get the side out of trouble. Although the final 

scoreline showed us running out convincing winners the type of 

football being played is very messy and is nowhere near the type of 

football this side is capable of. I believe the only explanation I can 

offer is attitude, not only on game day but at training, turning up late 

for games, playing as individuals and not as a unit, Gavin & Jay can 

only give out a game plan what happens out on the field is left up to 

the players and the amount of dropped ball, missed tackles, soft 

tries, allowing the ball to go out of the kickoff 3 times tells me our 

mind is not on the job and it is only a matter of time before 

somebody lets us know about it on the scoreboard. People will look at 

the scoreline and say I am being too critical but I invite you to ask 

some of the supporters who witnessed our performance yesterday for 

their opinion and then you will see that this side at the moment are 

taking too many shortcuts and not doing the hard work that is 

required. With some hard work at training we are hoping that all this 

starts to turn around soon and we can play some positive attacking 

footy. To our sponsors PIRTEK @ SMITHFIELD, ERECT SAFE 

SCAFFOLDING, J D TRANSPORT, TYRE TEAM @ ST MARYS, DIVCALL 

PTY LTD & DEMAC FORKLIFTS we thank you for your support this
