Great info DW. Must say, having seen all teams (at least once )play against Loxton ,that Mark Kruger was very impressive. The other one that impresses is Plant from Waikerie, and of course Ryan Bennett and Thorpe from Renmark. Gibson is handy but I don't rate his disposal.

[magpie in the 80's]

yeah great work DW. only one thing wrong. both teams don't have a FF line

[Baron Greenback]

How do we think Berri will go against Loxton this week.
One would hope that this match is closer than the past three.
Demons definitely turned it on on Sunday. Lets hope they can do it again or it could be another easy win for the Tiges.

[catfish]

i'm not sure i hope it is closer. berri are apparently pretty confident. apparently the water in the middle of berri oval last time we played them there put a dent in their gameplan. should be nice and dry this saturday...

[Dogwatcher]

It's going to be a big turnaround for them isn't it...

[Dogwatcher]

Rumour mill:

Wunkar looking for a new coach seemingly. Appears they're sniffing around someone who's previously coached at RFL level (Mick Zerna, Matt Schutz?)

Loxton North's search for a coach continues - several high profile local candidates....while there's also possibility of the club approaching a playing coach from Mildura.
Hayden Cook was at the Indy prelim on Saturday....could it be him or someone he knows?

Jeremy Vowles apparently going back to Loxton North from Brown's Well. If true a big blow for the Bombers.

[Baron Greenback]

Have heard former premiership coach applying for a position in the Independent league.
Not Wunkar though...

[cod master]

Yeah B.D Paringa in the form of Blackwell

[Dogwatcher]

Ahhh Blackers is back eh?

Losing a president helped I guess...

[cod master]

Hey D.W What was the big blue about in the Moorook club between Rod Hill and Nobby Norton Sat nite??????????????

[Dogwatcher]

Yup there was one. No secret that they don't get along. Apart from that, I was elsewhere at the time with probably five beers lined up to drink and two in my hands and really don't know what happened. Apparently it was sorted reasonably quickly.

[cod master]

aaahhhh Beer see nothing hear nothing say nothing LOL

[BIG SEXY]

beer may make dw hear and see nothing (or not much anyway) but it certainly doesnt shut him up!

[Dogwatcher]

I'm a quiet, shy and retiring boy when I'm drinking.

[Dogwatcher]

Yeah B.D Paringa in the form of Blackwell

Blackwell to team coach with a prominent current Independent coach....

And...

A beer rep currently working in the Riverland seems to be attracting the attention of several RFL clubs.

[Baron Greenback]

That beer rep will be at Renmark....
