@JK Thanks for the report!
Northcote favourite for the replay of last year's final?
Nah I think Bays favourites. They’ve had a great season and tapered off a bit towards end of regular season but we’re very good yesterday by all accounts. Hoping we can roll them but that bays forward pack is going well

Went to down to watch North Shore (my sons club) host Northcote (my club) and Cotes started really well and got out to 24-nil before shore really got in to gear. Slowly got back in the game and was a pretty tense final 20. Shore took advantage of a number of early Northcote subs and looked dangerous in the backs.
Northcote looked To have closed it out when got given a scrum on half way with time just about up. Managed to get penalised at the scrum and home crowd erupted realising they had a final chance to steal the win. Then Shore missed touch....doh!!

145km off 3 bouncy steps. And accurate. What a player.
With an action that belongs in club cricket. You can't coach how he bowls.
Its a bit like Matt Wolffs golf swing. It just farken works though doesnt it!
Geez its been a while!
Been training well. Mon-friday gym as usual. Def a bit heavier and bigger than I normally am but its winter and I am enjoying my food. Strengths good too.
Been riding a fair bit too. Nothing serious but an hour or so out on the bike here and there. Usually 15km or so and a mix of suburban back streets, offroading around local tracks and a few hills (mt vic and north head etc). Good fun.
Yeah he played pretty well. Sure helped the Taka scrum which smashed Massey every time. Won a lot of penalties from it. Be got through 80mins tho which was pretty impressive. I expected to see him trotting off at half time or shortly after but they kept him on the whole game.
Quite happy we are playing India rather than Eng or Aus who both reamed us in the pool games.
We have a shot at going through to the final. Just need to finally perform and hopefully a bit of luck go our way.
