Norwest Jets claim 1st win

[Sasha]

Pekay,
I see that scores from Penrith for this game were scraped after half-time?!?!?
Can you elaborate further, and I'm assuming there would have been much spite in the game too (ex-St. Clair players up against the rams). Any reports or incidents that came out of the game??

Pekay told me that after half time Penrith piled on 4 quick goals but a head count discovered they were playing with 19 on the field thus resulting in their score being returned to zero and handing the Jets their first win.

[DLH]

Correct.

Score was scrapped about 20 minutes into the third quarter with Penrith leading by 4 goals. By our estimation the extra player was on the ground for between 30-40 seconds. The problem had been noted and the player was in the process of trying to leave the ground but was beaten to it by the call for the count. It would be a bit misleading to suggest that it had made any difference, however, rules are rules so you have to cop it.

Managed 2.11 after that so I think the boys were a bit rattled which is understandable.

Pekay did say he felt they got out of jail. Should make for an interesting return match.

Oh well mate, there's not much else you can do.

As you can appreciate there has been an internal review of what happened to try and put processes in place to prevent it from happening again, and the coaching staff have pinpointed it to the 30-40 seconds as mentioned. I can only go off what they've said, but they could be wrong. They've taken full responsibilty for the blunder anyway so we move on.

The guys played well, but like you we've been decimated a bit, half of last years senior side have gone, including six to Penno. Two of those walked straight into their flag winning side for Round One so it's been a big drain on our top end talent.

Looked like a good hard game from what I saw, but overall it's pleasing to have the Jets back in Div One to resume old rivalries and all that.

Good also to see the 18's coming together and doing OK. They haven't had a win yet but have come up against the top three first up so that should change.

Sasha I would expect round 5 to be the spitefull match given the number of St Clair players now with Parra. From my understanding Parra benefitted the most from the demise of St Clair not the Jets.

No mate, although it wouldn't have made much difference this week

Looks like the gremlins have got into their website again.
