After a momentous start to the season in the Jim Beam Cup, the WA Reds now find themselves in a frustrating form slump following their 42-20 loss against Belrose in round 10.

The Reds have now conceded their last five games and the road to victory doesn’t get any easier this weekend when they return home to play Mounties who have lost only twice in 2008.

Feeling generous the visitors to Lionel Watts Reserve donated a 30-nil half-time lead to the Eagles before outscoring the opposition 20-12 in the final forty minutes.

Sadly they haven’t played a full eighty minutes quite the way they’d like to for a while and the results are certainly an indication of that.

“It will be back to the drawing board, as we try to find answers to the reason why we are dropping balls early in the tackle counts and then fail to hold tackles in defense”, admitted Reds coach Chris Dever.

“We have the ability to match teams but continue to make simple errors that make them look good and create unnecessary pressure on ourselves, to be always fighting from behind.”

Four of the next five games will be played at Members Equity Stadium, permitting a better recovery program for the side while more supporters are expected to turn up to scream the house down until they lose their voice.

Campbelltown Eagles showed vast improvement last weekend against the Sydney Bulls, going down by ONLY 24-points against the Sydney Bulls.

In round 2 Windsor cleaned them up 44-16 (a losing margin of 28pts).Translated into Rugby League terms this means they are starting to concede less points in big losses overall.

The visitors conceded 32 unanswered points in the opening term off the back of some incomplete sets but bravely fought back via Jason Ganghram, Pene Leulai and Mathew Veve late in the game.

Shellharbour Marlins fans are having nightmares that their 7-week winning streak could come to an end as a result of Wendell Sailor withdrawal symptoms.

Sailor – who scored two tries in his first game of Rugby League in 7 years – heads back to the NRL for the Dragons on Friday night and Wentworthville will be hoping to take advantage of his absence.

The last time these two teams played each other, they had to make do with a draw.

Shellharbour are coming off the back of a 30-24 win over Windsor which they didn’t secure for themselves until the 77th minute of play at Windsor Sports Complex last weekend.

A half break from Blake Dureau was all centre Jace Brown needed looming up in on the inside to score beside the posts untouched. Dureau then converted to give the visitors a hard-fought six-point win.

Chester Hill lost their 6th game of the season and surprised Southern Sydney fans by going down 41-12 at Sutherland Oval.

Wentworthville have won two of their last three matches and are sitting on the edge of the Jim Beam Cup top five in sixth position after upsetting Cabramatta 28-18 at Ringrose Park.

Mounties overcame the late withdrawal of two key forwards to reclaim a share of top spot on the competition ladder via a 32-22 win over Erina.

The home side led 14-4 at the break but found themselves behind 22-14 in the second-half care of 3 quick consecutive tries.


Back–to-back tries to Wayne Dargan and Blake Champion saw the premiership favourites regain the lead and then seal the deal when Champion took a pass on the inside of Adam El-Zebeidah to take the score out to 30-22 with only minutes left on the clock.
