Money not very well spent. The $1000 man (Brad De Vries) did a few good things but considering his background didn't pose a real threat, maybe $200 a game may have been more appropriate from the raiders. Onkas new guys seem to run the ball pretty well but it was the same old guys winning them the game (Klun, Tanner etc). I think having the past Mail Medalist Klun and Kirwan back from the big smoke really helped them out as well. Nick Smart had about 100 kicks but unfortunately he couldn't hit sand if he fell off a camel, so was no where near as effective as he could be.
Big issue in the game with Onkas calling for a head count after bridgewater had replaced a yellow carded player after about 35 seconds. They only had about 3 goals at the time so not a huge difference. The raiders all just stood around the middle scratching their heads pointing the blame at any one who would listen (apparently their new found, fat cheque book cant buy any brains). I left just before the end of the match but think onkas won buy about 6 goals according to the score board but i think it will be 9 goals in the courier.
Any other scores around the grounds????
Was at the Onkas v Bridgy game also, that head count thing was quite strange as Bridgy did have 18 players on the field when they were only meant to have 17 but nothing come about from it.
I think the final score was something like Onkas 13 17 to Bridgewater 8 6
Onkas were definately the more dominate team and could've won by a lot more if they kicked straighter, I think it'll be goal kicking for them at training this week.
As for Bridgys big recruits I must agree, given todays performance by them, definatley not worth the sort of coin their on.
Lofty won 9 20 to 9 14 i think, the game should of been over by half time as loftys points were in the first half, 9 in the 1st quarter, but other than innaccurat kickeing it was a very hard and physical contest, dont think pipes stapes will feature in the best but was the hardest bloke on the field and lead his team well to victory, well done mate.
