Scum Vs Wynnum Friday 16/6/06 The team spirit was high going into this match, with some unfinished business from last weeks shortened game / non game, and it showed both on the field and also on the scoreboard. Scum came away convincing winners 34 - 10. Scoring six tries and two conversions (Don't worry main man, they weren' all the easiest of kicks) - where 3 of the Meat Pies went to Barnsey who showed blistering pace all game around the park! As mentioned in previous weeks there were again visible signs of improvement throughout the side & we can see the quality of the teams' game really deveolping both in the the clear-out at the breakdown and the quality of handling & passing. Whilst these are indeed promising signs, it was fortunate that we got out to such a convincing lead early in the game. However ,there is evidence that there needs to be a bit of work on the teams overall endurance fitness - It’s fortunate that a majority of our points were scored in the first half as the game turned very scrappy in the last 10-15 minutes of the second. A few sides have expected easier games against Scum; I also think we have caught a few teams on-the-hop by starting each game very aggressively. Our performances have been better that our 8th placing on the table, and we are now taking a few points from a few teams; and as our climb up the ladder continues – I don’t believe our opponents will be so complacent. For mine there were a few stand-out moments in the match: 1) Coxy’s hit on a Wynnum player on the sideline – Oh it was huge! (Apparently he's pretty dirty about it) ........too bad!!! 2) BJ aggressively rubbing his own neck against a Wynnum players boot! 3) Sammy's dart down the sideline with NO ROOM somehow managing to keep the ball in play. 3.(MotM) – Coxy (Huge in Defence); 2. Rezo (The Workhorse); 1. Sammy (Keeping the ball alive and taking on the big fellas). Good job boys and keep focused on our rematch with Wests this weeks. Cheers Grunta & Geoffro
