Just A Quick Scoring Update

Herbie’s well and truly in front in the top point-scorer stakes with 64 after nine games, but the real interest is in top try scorer. Lewie and the Hobbit both have five, but Herbie and Waaka aren’t far behind on three.  Si Bradley is not going to lay down, scoring two in three games since [...]

8 from 9, and 6 from 9 – Both Top Of The Table

Bs turn up the heat big time in the second half to trot out 31-12 winners over Pirates – Tim Egerton 2, Turi “The Brick With Eyes” Dallas, Micky Seymour and Mike Townson tries; 3 conversions.  Eight wins from nine games and looking fierce…. Prems see Nick “The Hammer Herbert pot 24 points through a [...]

This Day In History

Henry Braddon and James O’Donnell make history in 1884 by not only playing in the first All Black game, but also by becoming Blues’ first two All Blacks.  The New Zealand team beats a Wellington XV 9-0 at Newtown Park before going across the ditch to give Aussie teams the hiding to which they have [...]

Unlike Other Teams

We have faith in Blues International Stadium to hold up after a week of relentless rain.  So 1.15pm sees the team of the moment, the Premier Bs, taking on Winton’s finest, and 3pm sees the rolling out of the big dogs.  Go the Mighty Blue!  As Pat says, I believe there comes a time where [...]

Not The Flashest Club Day

But hang on.  Despite the Prems losing their second game of the season (out of seven), the Simon Frisby/Adolf Tagicakibau-coached Bs carried on their merry way with a 41-5 win – Dags (2), Zinzan Clarke (2) and Jaykib Holland-Collins dotting down, followed by flawless kicking from Branton (4 con, 2 pen) Buckley and Daniel (“Sorry [...]

It’s Club Day!

Huge day tomorrow at Blues International Stadium for club day – first of all it’s a million games of kids’ footy starting about 9am (including the Pain Train Mighty Blues under-11s taking on the Mini-Papists at 10.30am). Then the Blues Bs roll out at 1.15pm versus Woodlands, followed by the game of the day, the [...]

#Winning

Bs turn in a stoic performance in the wet this afternoon to get up in the last few minutes over a stacked Marist team (gidday Pig, gidday Nick, gidday Daniel, gidday Urbain, gidday Isaac) 22-20 and keep second place in the Prem Bs competition.  Tries to JB, Sai and the Hobbit help, but the toe-pokes [...]

Loving The Park

It’s always great to play night code at Rugby Park, and always good to win.  Marist showed a lot of attack in the second half, but a defensive effort not seen since the 2005 Galbraith Shield final saw us home 20-8 (half time 20-8). Three main points: Nicky Herbert’s boot Richard Kamaru’s boot Our defence [...]
