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.

Nick's Highlight

The Jack 9's continued there winnings ways with a hard fought win over price attack 3-1. A new player to the team (thor) got the first try after The Pipes gave him a lovely short ball. The next 10 min was back and forth before Stepy did one of his trademark in and away and dove over in the corner. Price Attack then scored a controversial try where the player droped the ball over the line but was given. The last try come from The Sensation when he strolled through a huge gap down the middle. The play of the day was a easy decision after Nick took a beautiful intercept and was away with only stepy within 10 metres and then "it" happened. He started to fall, then he was falling, then finaly he was down and out with a cheer from the crowd. The Jack 9's now have a 3 week break before the continue total domination!!!

Jack 9's thump Ruffle boyz

Jack 9's put on their most devestating display lastnight, in disposing of division 5 rejects the ruffle boyz 7-0.
Scott piper was the star of the show bagging 4 tries taking his season tally to 10. Nic Frail and Craig Piper got their first tries of the season, while a length of the field intercept from mark astill with minutes left took his season tally to 5.
With a few players missing under suspicious circumstances some of the team have questioned these players commitment to the team, and if their attitude continues through to next week they will be asked to hand their jerseys in.

Shannon wins again

Havent updated the poker results for a fair while, but some results of late have been shannon winning 2 events in 2 weeks and myself winning an event 3 weeks ago, all the hoopla has seemed to have died down since last season as new era back up there big talk with 23 event wins last season.
We are still here and we are still dominating!
