Disappointing Loss
The team, like the fans look to have reached a point in the season when they are looking for the season to end sooner rather than later. While former player Dane Gagai celebrated a hattrick in the first ever Gagai v Gagai match, there was little to celebrate as the team blew a early lead, through ongoing poor defence. There is a lot of off season work required to rebuild this team. But we still have games to play, two weeks to go and now off to the foot of mountains to face Penrith.
Dean Hawkins returns
After a few weeks back it was good to see Dean Hawkins return to first grade, his kicking game, with some nice in goal grubbers, helped maintain the teams positional play. Lacking a genuine halfback has been hurting us in recent seasons.
Ryan Gray double
Another double for Ryan Gray, means he maintains the top of the reserve grade try scorers list with 11 tries for the season. He has been a consistant reserve grade player all year.
Toby Sullivan double
Another player who tries hard every week is Toby Sullivan. He got the Flegg team off to a flyer this week with two tries up the middle.
Studdon leads the way
Maggie Studdon decided to take control of the game from the kickoff, he sneaking kickoff lead to her scoring the first try. But she wasn't finished as she setup tries and scored another herself in a great display in lead the Rabbitohs to victory. Not to be outdone Lyons also scored a double with her shift to centre, through some pwerful and timely runs.
Round 25 - Stat Attack
