2017 Intrust Super Premiership Thread

[BELMORE]

If Stanley can string a few more games together hoppefully he can get back into first grade. He's a gun winger. And can kick goals apparently? not sure how well but Holland is below average so...

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have further stamped their claims as genuine premiership contenders in 2017, with a commanding 32-14 victory over the North Sydney Bears on Sunday afternoon.

Despite the opening half of the contest being a hard-fought battle with the Bulldogs holding onto a slight 12-8 advantage at the break, two tries to captain Craig Garvey was the cornerstone of a clinical second-half performance, that sees the Bulldogs edge closer to the top four of the Intrust Super Premiership NSW ladder.

Renouf To’omaga and Andy Saunders put in strong performances as they laid a strong platform of their numerous attacking raids, while George Burgess and Cheyne Whitelaw putting in valiant performances in a losing side.

The Bulldogs threatened early with a last-tackle raid down the right-hand side, but an opposing penalty to the Bears saw them earn a repeat set down the other tend thanks to a pin-point kick from halfback Luke Kelly.

Unable to capitalise, The Bulldogs responded with a chance of their own with a well-constructed backline movement almost paying off, only for scrambling Bears defence forcing a knock-on.

With both teams looking for the early break-through, it was the Bears who drew first blood as five-eighth Adam Douehi showed his crafty footwork to break the line before evading the fullback to cross for his team’s first try.

Despite the Bears winning the battle of field-position throughout the opening 25 minutes, it was the Bulldogs who found themselves next to score as Renouf To’omaga bursted through the line and offloaded to Josh Cleeland for their maiden try of the afternoon.

A knock-on off the kick-off from the Bulldogs invited the Bears to earn themselves an immediate response, but a penalty in-front of the uprights gifted the Bears an easy two points.

The arm-wrestle contest continued to be played predominantly through the middle third but the Bulldogs found themselves in the red-zone once again, with Bronson Garlick throwing a perfectly timed cut-out pass to Reimis Smith who athletically crossed in the left-hand corner.

Rhyse Martin converted from the sideline to take a 12-8 lead with five minutes remaining the first-half

With both teams unable to close out the first 40 minutes with further points, it was the Bulldogs who held onto the four-point lead at half-time.

The Bears came out with a point to prove with their first attacking chance pinning the Bulldogs on their own try line, and their committed defence responded immediately as they drove Tyron Phillips into in the in-goal.

The Bears were unable to take advantage of the early chance, and a string of penalties soon after saw the Bulldogs straight onto the attack, with Joshua Bergamin wasting little time and scoring their third of the afternoon.

Brimming with confidence, the Bulldogs momentum couldn't be halted as a brilliant Cleeland offload found Rhyse Martin in open space straight from the kick-off, and eventually placed a well-timed grubber for Craig Garvey who scored right under posts for back-to-back tries.

Martin converted the try to extend the lead to 14 points just after 55 minutes.

The Bulldogs were constantly threatening the Bears goal-line with some classy backline movements, and it was Garvey who found the breakthrough as the bursted through some flimsy defence to score his second try of the afternoon.

A 70 metre try to Richie Kennar put the icing on the cake for the Bulldogs with the score stretching out to a 32-8 lead, but the Bears showed their resilience with a late consolation try to Abbas Miski, but it was to no avail as the Bulldogs recorded a strong 32-14 victory away from home.

Lichaa can't play this weekend so Woolford will debut off the bench

Garvey will play if Lichaa can't.

If Des wasn't braindead he'd take this chance and go:

6. Reynolds
7. Frawley
9. Mbye

14. Garvey

Bergamin replaced Lee at half time so I assume in the centres
If anyone saw the game - how did Lewis go? The reggies have been getting good results since he returned from injury.

 

[dogluva]

Good victory to the boys. They at least have a positive for and against, unlike first grade. Hope they can make something of this year after quite a few in the wilderness although Wyong will be hard to beat having had only one loss and a draw in the games played to date.

Bergamin came on for Brenko Lee but Josh normally plays fullback so would be interesting to see what position he did play. Bergamin has some potential but has gone between Intrust and Ron Massey this year.

Would love to see some of these boys get a run in the first grade squad if our season continues as it has. We are fast running out of time in the top grade to do anything positive but probably our coach will just persist with the same old same old. I guess promoting the boys would only weaken our Intrust side anyway the way some of the top grade boys have been playing.....

 

[CrittaMagic69]

That would be great but why is Lichaa out ?

Because he's joining parra next week and can't play against them or us? If you believe the rumours lol.

Their draw was against us so thats a positive we can at least hang with them

I was at the game, lewis went alright didn't do much , has a good kicking game. Cleeland was more impressive but the guy is tiny compared to most 5/8's
I reckon lewis would make a better ball playing lock in a few years as he is tallish at 188cm and would beef up in years to come.
I wouldnt consider hm as an option at half , I'd rather cleeland be given a go at half , what do we have to lose!!!

 

[Mr Invisible]

@Malpass Did Lee get injured or was he hooked? Or did another injury shuffle the backline?

Would seem bizzare to swap centres midgame without good reason!

Bergamin is a player that I'd like to see progress into first grade in the future. Maybe the idea is that Abbey will end up fullback with Bergamin in centres. Bergs has very good footwork and he's quite quick too. Reads the game very well, which is why I think he's best at fullback and Abbey shifting.

Cleeland small for a 5/8? His around the 180 mark and pushing 93kg.

 

[dogluva]

Gee, so it appears we went the closest to beating them. They beat us 24-6 Round 3; Drew 30-30 Round 11. Five changes between those two rounds for both sides but still the Wyong side not too shabby.

No way.he walked past me on sunday.im 178 and he was way shorter than me.compared to the rest of the players he looks tiny.but he's a handy player.

During the first half i honestly thought he was playing.i don't think he touched the ball once.maybe injured or ill.not sure
