WE HEARD IRELAND'S CALL AND IT WENT SOMETHING LIKE "OH FUCK THAT HURT I THINK MY BODY BROKE"



If you've got a reputation, like Suburbs do, you either live up to it, or you change it. Suburbs decided to live up to theirs. Hard physical slightly borderline illegal tough rugby. And we didn't cope that well. Both up in the top 6 inches and in the remaining parts below. Cal and Jezza both went to seek the help of trained but over-tired physicians for season ending injuries and others came off surprisingly early also due to difficulties with the ferocity of the Suburbs attack.
I myself don't think we played poorly, but others at the time had differing opinions as to our commitment to the 80 minute effort. Some Keiths played out of their skins such as Dirk and Muzz and maybe you if you're telling the story later on. Others were lack lustre.

Rugby's a funny old mind game sometimes.

Notwithstanding my previous comments above, Dirk fully deserved MVP for his general all round get stuck in game and Murray as also mentioned above had a full throated right up the middle give it straight back to them performance. Tom had a good start at fullback but after Cal went off, came back to first five where he seemed better suited. Which meant Bravo moved from wing to fullback which meant Georgie, Shane, Brad and Mossie all had a go on the wing. Jones (Welsh) came off early for a wee lie down but Jones (NZ) came off to give Chief a run. Both hookers had difficulty with the wind, but not too many errors.

The rest of the forwards did well but not exceptionally well as hoped. Joseph and Pounga and Matini proved we need some Island blood to liven things up but Muncher, Pieman and Unit prove we need old white man guile and cunning. So a happy mix all round so far.Trouty is of the opinion we need to start all our Tongan boys at once and next week against the Sharks may be a good chance to prove his theory.

The bitterly cold wind didn't stop our usual supporters from supporting, so thank you to them for coming out, but maybe the break several players had because of colds and other equally weak protestations will do them some good for their next game.

Oh, and where the fuck was Ross? A birthday trip to OZ? New BOY!!!!
