Weekend Round Up
A very disappointing result for Cambridge United as they went down 1-0 away at Crawley. This brings their four match unbeaten streak to an end. From the sound of it there was very little in the game and it was a case of Crawley taking their one chance and us missing ours. There was a surprise up front with Jamie Guy returning on loan from Colchester. I don't understand why Rob Newman is pursuing this if he is still in Colchester's plans for next season it proves absolutely nothing towards next season. They finished the game with 10 men and will lose Rob Wolleaston for at least one game. I understand that we need to experiment with the team but we need to be winning games like this whatever team is put out there. They have a tough home game coming up against Morecombe next Saturday where they have the last chance to do a double over one team this year and I would hope for a strong performance to start another unbeaten run.
Rugby Union. As already discussed another win fro the Hurricanes keeps them there or there abouts in the Super 14. Northampton Saints are currently sitting on a five point win that could possibly see them jump as high as 6th in the Premiership. With a cup game next week it will be good for them to take stock of where they are and push for a high finish. Five different try scorers, including Ben Cohen, is an indication that this was a great team performance. If they can maintain this and keep the momentum going forward there is a chance that they can finish 6th this year and give themselves a chance of Europe. This will rely in them winning at least 3 of their 5 remaining games which they are capable of doing. If they can then get results against Leicester and Sale then that will only be for the better. I'm not sure that they are ready for Heineken Cup Rugby next season, it will just depends on who they sign post season.
Rugby League An absolutely stunning result for the Warriors as they beat Wests Tigers 26-10 at Jade Stadium in Christchurch. This is the first time they have won on home soil outside of Auckland. This is a great win and good to see them getting the basics right. It really is the key to winning rugby league games. Also they improved their ball retention holding onto it for long periods in the first half completing their series of sixes. They showed also that once they get in front they can be a difficult team to beat. This will move them closer to that zero point target and more importantly closer to getting off the bottom of the table. This was a very important win as they travel to Australia now for some tough games over the next few weeks. Although there really is nothing in this season for them if they can build some momentum they will become a team that others fear to play, and that can only be a good thing.
As it currently stands Warrington Wolves are being pulled apart by a man called Rooney. This will see them plunge to the depths of the Super League. There can be no more excuses, it's time to put up or shut up for coach Paul Cullen.
