Jack 9's #1

In the last game of regular season Jack 9's sent a msg to the other teams by downing number 3 seed Typhoons 9-1. The standout where Mark Astill, Darren Morris, Aaron Willis all getting Doubles. Captain grumpy (The Sensation) got 1 as well as Stepy and Nick Frail both got 1 each.

Jack 9's didn't really play there best and where still able to demolish a top team sending a clear msg that they are indeed the team to beat. Overall this season has been a great year but taking the minor premiership is only the first step. We will need to step it up in the finals to make sure you we take out the comp.

Finally some season tally's Caveman And Stepy where the only to players to play all 15 games showing true commitment, Stepy especialy after playing a week after being hit by a car to keep his streak alive. Leading try scoriers where Stepy who finished with 33 then darren morris with 16 then Mark Astill with 15.

Good luck boys and go get em

Jack 9's bounce back but in scrappy performance

In what on paper looked like another devestating display, Jack 9's bounced back from there only defeat of the season to thrash dictation 12-1. but the scoreline was not a true indication of the form we showed with alot of dropped ball and side to side plays. Scott "stepy" Piper was up to his old tricks bagging 4 tries. Aaron willis got 2 along with Darren Morris jnr.
Next week poses a big task up against in form typhoons, and a much improved effort is needed if we are to bag the points.

Tries
Scott piper 4
Aaron willis 2

Mark astill 2

SHOCK

The Jack 9's have suffered there first loss of the season going down 5-4 to Redbulls.

The game started of like most others with Jack 9's getting of to a great start with Stepy putting Morris over for a early try before scoring one himself. Redbulls then scored a try before Stepy replyed with his second to send the score to 3-1. This is when Jack 9's just switch off and let Redbulls come back and tie the game. This is when Stepy got his 3rd for the game but it was not enough Jack 9's defence was just not up to its usual standard and the Redbulls manage to late tries to steal the match.

We play Dictation next week and we will have to control the ball alot better and get there defence back on track if we dont want another lost to our record.

Try Scorers

Scott "Stepy" Piper -3

Undefeated season still in grasp

Despite a less than impressive performance, Jack 9's won there 10 straight game in defeating Price Attack 3-2 thanks to last minute heroics from Scott "stepy" Piper. with the game destined for a draw, scott capitalised on a quick dump, from the sensation and split 2 defenders to run the length of the field, but being dummy half scott could not score the try and had to wait for the support to arrive, and it did so in the form of craig "caveman" piper scoring his second try of the game to seal the victory for the jack 9's.
With only 3 games left Jack 9's are closing in on finishing the season undefeated, we will need to improve though as we play teams 2 (red bulls) and 3 (typhoons) in the next 3 weeks.

try scorers:

Craig "caveman" Piper" - 2
Scott "stepy" Piper - 1

Still Rolling

In the past two week Jack 9's have won 9-2 over the Skainsies and 13-2 over The Ruffle Boys. The boys have put in a couple of solid performances.

In the game against the Skainsies Scott (Stepy) Piper was a stand out scoring 4 tries, he was well back up by Mark Astill who scored 3. Aaron Willis also had a solid game. This game came at a price with Mark (Ladderman) Beard went down with a knee injury.

One week later the boys where at it again with Stepy bagging 4 more and Darren (The Fastest Man Alive) Morris Jr got 3. Mark Astill got 2 aswell as Aaron (Stump) Willis bagged a double aswell. In this game there was not a bad player on the field with everyone contributing in some way.

Good couple of weeks boys lets keep the good work up.

Jack 9's Worst Still The Best

In there worst game to date the Jack 9's still came away with a 5-3 victory over Typhoons. jack 9's droped alot of ball early but were still able to come score the first try through some quick hands from The Pipes and Stump to put "The fastest man alive" morris over. Jack 9's were soon in again through Nick "no make up" Frail. Then the Jack 9's went through a rough patch after The Sensation was binned this lead to 2 Typhoon try's. It was then a arm wrestle before Stepy hop skiped and ran away for another long range try bring his tally to 16. Then the Typhoons tied it up at 3 all after some bad decsion went against Jack 9's. The next try was a family act when Stepy ran a great decoy and some quick thinking from The Pipes help him to dive over for a soft try. The final try come with seconds on the clock when Stepy found some space drew the winger in and put Stump down the sideline for the match winner. Special mention to the Instigator for dropping the ball of the game from Stepy, a great cut out ball to put him in space with a 3 man overlap.
Good effort boys but alot of improvement needed if we want to stay undefeated!!!

Jack 9's run riot

On the back of dominating performances from scott "stepy" piper (3 tries) and Darren "fastest man alive" morris (4 tries) Jack 9's thrashed a helpless dictation team 13-1, in what was a devastating display that would of sent chills down the spine of division rivals, jack 9's scored on only the 3rd play of the game and from there the rest was history.
mark beard (2 tries) and Nick frail (2 tries) also had excellent games in what was an all round great team performance.

But now for the bad news. After such a stella performance it comes with much dissapointment to announce that 3 players have been cut due to their lack of commitment to the team, with much discussion from the team after the match we decided to cut Thor Sutherland, Joe bennetts and Damien walsh, although they seemed commited at seasons start, between them have only played 5 games, and as a team we see this as unacceptable when we are out there in 34 degree + temperatures and they are sitting in there lounge rooms or playing free roll poker events. sorry guys but you made the decision for us.
