=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4
NSW&ACT : 8.10.58
Allies : 15.14.104
=====================================
Match Over!
Well that's a comprehensive win for The Allies in the end. It was a great match for the first half but their physical play was too much for NWS&ACT and they've romped this win home to the tune of 46 points. NWS&ACT just had no answers in that second half and you have to wonder about their will for the contest after that performance. Questions will be asked after today that can only be answered on the field of play. Let's have a look at who contributed and who didn't in this game...

Flaps played a lone hand for NWS&ACT in the midfield while pantskyle was excellent in the ruck, even if Reardo matched him around the ground. Full forward and captain Gee Dub touched the ball twice and kicked two behinds in what was a poor display, even taking into account the terrible delivery the NWS&ACT forwardline endured.
For The Allies it was a pretty even effort accross the field. IMS would be a little disapointed with the output from Duggan but he himself coped fairly well with the tagging effort from SKM.

Thanks for joining us here at Homebush for what was half a great contest and half a great display by The Allies. After the events at Etihad today they are right in the hunt for this Carnival and they take on WA at the 'Gabba this Saturday. Meanwhile NWS&ACT will need to regroup and head to Manuka Oval to take on the might of Vic Metro.

Well done boys. Well deserved win that puts us right in the mix. Thanks for the game NSWACT, just the inexperience factor in the end but you guys will only get better with time. Excellent bantering too!!

 

[saintkildaman]

****. Well done Allies

 

[Gee Dub]

I blame the government.

 

[HARPSichord]

Good game Allies.

Just an update on my condition, I am currently in surgery on that scratch to ensure my perfect skin remaims unblemished. I'll keep you all up to date on my condition.

 

[IllBeTheJudge]

Good game, unfortunate that we couldn't keep up the intensity of the first half in the second.

Thanks for the banter lads, and good luck in the rest of the series.

NSW / ACT, time to regroup and identify weaknesses.

 

[PVF]

Great win Allies, pure dominance.

Good game NSW/ACT.

Now onto WA!

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Great win Allies. We're back in town!

 

[pantskyle]

Terrible second half but the better team won.

 

[Jobe3votes]

Fantastic win at the end, very very impressive. Can not wait to take this game plan to the GABBA and demolish Western Australia

Now only if I could kick straight. Now where is Sam Newmans Kicking Academy when I need it?
