Wynnum have recorded a solid 42-30 win over Wests
at Kougari Oval On Saturday. The Seagulls jumped out a
36-6 lead at one stage in the second half but allowed
the Panthers to add a bit of respectability to score.
The visitors made too many handling errors and were
pretty much outclassed in the forwards to but they
never gave up trying.
The home side's first try of the game was a
controversial one when lock forward Daniel Frame
appeared to lose the ball in tackle, a few tackles
just before the try was eventually scored. However,
referee Tony Maksoud ruled that he didn't and Wade
Bachmann eventually crossed for the line, when he ran
onto a pass from Jason Keough.
Wynnum were soon out to a 12-0 lead after fullback Jay
O'Doherty sprinted 50 metres to score under the posts
unmarked. O'Doherty was put into a gap by a nice pass
by Daniel Frame and the defence couldn't catch the
quick fullback.
The Panthers managed to put their first points on in
the 25th minute when James Brown crossed over in the
corner. Craig Bowen ran at the line dragging in a
couple of defenders before passing the ball to centre
Jason Gibson. Gibson then put an unmarked Brown into a
gap and the winger scored the try.
However, Wests immediately gave Wynnum a perfect
opportunity to strike back when Denny Lambert split a
ball, right from the kick off. The Panthers were able
to hold their opposition for one set of six but the
Seagulls scored in the next set when Luke Richards
simply sliced through the defence and went over under
the posts. Wynnum went into the sheds at half-time
with a comfortable 18-6 lead.
The match was virtually all over by the 54th minute
when the Seagulls scored three tries in 6 minutes to
put them up 36-6. The first try in the second half was
an absolutely beauty with some great passes involved
which included a flick back pass by Lance Cronk into
the waiting hands of Wade Bachmann who crossed for his
second try. Clayton Maher was heavy involved in the
next two which included a bust right through middle of
the defence before giving to ball to his brother
Nathan to score and a nice off load to Ron Troutman so
the hooker could cross under the posts.
The Panthers never gave up trying and full back Brent
Webb managed a hatrick of tries in the final 23
minutes of the match. Webb was fantastic in a losing
side and his speed, stepping ability and skill mark
him as a player of the future. Talented young winger
Steve Franciscus (another player of the future) also
had a great game and he was rewarded with a try in the
64th minute.
The home side also scored another try in that period
with Lance Crock crossing over in the 75th minute to
the put the icing on the cake. However, Webb was to
cross again for the Panthers but Wynnum eventually ran
out 42-30 winners.
