I see that the Shepp News has decided not to cover the PDFL NW this year, SHIT Form if you ask me.
If true that is an absolute joke, then they shouldn't cover the SE side either 2 make it EQUAL!!!!! I know there are shepp blokes that play for strathy, picola & yarroweyah what are they guna read monday morning??? Joke shepp news
How many clubs use there websites for all thier information?Bigfooty ?
Bigfooty ?
In relation to the Shepp News I'm certain it has been on the cards for some time and have a good idea of a couple of things which have transpired which would be of good reason , one of which is the constant failure of clubs to provide selected sides !
IMO the failure of clubs to supply selected sides can only affect the coverage and publicity the league receives .
You can't just keep on bitting the hand the feeds you , as so to speak , and expect the offers to continue .
I'd suspect there'd be numerous ex PDFL players , coaches , members and or supporters , who'd look up and see who's playing or where they are playing and attend accordingly.
Furthermore, there are quite a few clubs whom are within tourism areas and I'd suspect I'm not the only one, who when on holidays flicks through the local rag and got some interest may attend?
It's interesting to see the amount of clubs that still fail to place there sides upon the website .
Maybe there are other factors that are only NW related ?
So whats everyones views on RD1?? Here's mine-
Yarro v Strathy- It seems like strathy will still be there abouts with some handy in's replacing some handy out's, while yarro wont drop off by much but will be hard 2 replace they're 3 top goal kickers (thats 130 goals) from last year, some of their talented young kids (which they have a few of) are guna have 2 take the next step this year!
Berrigan v Picola- Bit of a surprise with picola getting out to a very handy qrt time lead but just couldn't hold on! Maybe some more accurate goal kicking after qrt time may have seen them over the line! Not to take anything away from Berrigan from getting back into the game & take the win!
Mathoura v Jerilderie- Well another 1 that seems as though more accurate goal kicking could've seen the away team with a win? This game is a hard 1 to judge imo as mathoura always usually start the season slow but always kick it into gear come Rd 3-4 & set their season up from there so good for them to get the early win against a flag favourite! but on the other hand it seems that a couple of jerilderies big recruits in purcell & co didn't play (for reasons i'm unaware of), but in saying that i think mathoura we're also missing 1 or 2 of their pre season gun recruits??
Blighty v Deni- It seems a big qrt time lead set the day for blighty & held on pretty evenly from there, looks like they have added to their side over the pre season with some good in's to cover their loses, whilst i think deni had a few out of their best 21 which indicates there will be some good improvement coming from the rovers!
So all in all i'd say Rd1 was a success with the highest winning margin only 28pts, No blowouts & by the looks of all results seems all games we're very competetive to the final siren!! Feel free to correct me where i may be wrong as i cant make it 2 every game!! haha
Spinal?, is this the young fella that was collected with a hip nd shoulder in the mist of some great tough play?From a quick look it appears Mathoura may have been missing Mick Buckley, Justin Smith, Troy Gread and Justin Hartshorn and no Ian Phillips ?
I caught a bit of the Strathy v Yarroweyah game and Strathy looked very impressive , whilst Yarroweyah also appeared to be missing a couple including a fairly important CHB ?
On a sad note, it appears as though there may have been a pretty serious spinal related injury , out of the Picola v Berrigan game !
Hi Asahi, Berrigan played well, they took half a game to click but in the 3rd they seemed to know a bit more about each others style. Had 7 new players and all played well, the last min recruits in Jordy and Chris proved to be good ones as Jordy was in everything and Chris helped himself to 4 goals. Tonts and Flynn for Moama did well, but one of the best things from the day was the form of the yougsters, the mynards killed it and so did first gamer Congdon.
