Which guys are aligned to the Broncos and who should we watch out for?

 

[Big Pete]

Broncos rep. Will Evans scores the opening try for Queensland.

4-0 Queensland after 6.

Kick to come.

 

[Big Pete]

Coulston converts from near the sideline.

6-0 Queensland.

 

[Big Pete]

Bagon and Deardon go close but the Blues defence manages to hold them out. James toes the ball through and forces a goal line drop out.

 

[Big Pete]

Deardon with a good option, spots the Blues defence is up and puts a kick through for Powell. Feagai is there for NSW as Queensland receive another goal line restart.

 

[Big Pete]

James tries to stab a kick for Garner but it's plucked by Field for NSW.

The Blues survive five consecutive sets.

 

[Big Pete]

The Blues go through the hands and Jenkins scores a simple try down the left.

Queensland 6-4, 24 gone.

 

[Big Pete]

Niu wraps around Coulston and fires a pass off to Khan-Pereira who takes the Blues on down the sideline and manages to score a miraculous try. Thank god video referees aren't in Under 16s.

Coulston nails it again from the sideline.

12-4 Queensland, 29 gone.

HT

Queensland 12 (Evans, Khan-Pereira tries; Coulston 2/2 goals) lead New South Wales 4 (Jenkins try)

Queensland with a dream half of football, but should lead by more. The Khan-Pereira try was an important try in the context of the game.

Niu wraps around Coulston and fires a pass off to Khan-Pereira who takes the Blues on down the sideline and manages to score a miraculous try. Thank god video referees aren't in Under 16s.

Coulston nails it again from the sideline.

12-4 Queensland, 29 gone.

Just saw the replay, fair dinkum try imo.

 

[Big Pete]

Garner runs towards the sideline and gets dragged over touch deep inside his half.

Big opportunity here for the Blues.

 

[Big Pete]

Blake Dowel powers over and scores an important try for NSW.

Schaup converts.

12-10 Queensland.

15 to go.

 

[tommy]

Can we get a main game thread up?

 

[Danoz Direct]

Garner has been average over the last 15 minutes. Completely swung the momentum against Queensland and and bad defensive read there.

 

[Porthoz]

Well that was stupid... I lost count of how many times a Qld player slipped over and fell, taking his team mate(s) with him. Twice, what should've been a repeat set to NSW, became a break out for them, including that last play of the game, which cost Qld dearly after coming back to 16-all.
Maybe pay more attention to which type of cleats to wear?

P.S. Can't believe the amount of monsters NSW had in their team... it proved a difference in the end imo.

 

[Big Pete]

Heart-breaker.

Queensland level the scores with minutes remaining. Coulston's conversion is on line but just falls short. James attempts a long range field goal which manages to stay in the field of play. Queensland chase in a staggered line, Hopoate gets around the defence, combines with Best and he scores a run-away try to seal it for the Blues.

Queensland were the better side for the majority of the game, but a couple of mistakes at crucial times allowed the Blues to steal it.

New South Wales 22 (Jenkins, Dowel, Schoupp, Best tries; Schoupp 3/4 goals) defeat Queensland 16 (Khan-Pereira 2, Evans tries; Coulston 2/3 goals)

 

[Dexter]

Young blokes got a kick in the arse. They gave up on the chase from the field goal until they realised out wasn't going dead.
Staggered line did the rest.
