he man behind the ‘Say No To Burqas’ mural is back, but this time he’s got a new mural and message. Sergio Redegalli’s original mural sparked heated protest last year, which resulted in seven people being arrested, but now the controversial artist is spreading a new message on why he thinks the burqa should be banned. The Newtown artist and shop owner is fi lming a documentary, for which he donned the garment to drive a car. “Since wearing the burqa, I can very, very clearly say it’s dangerous to drive in,” he said. “You do not have visibility in terms of peripheral vision.” Mr Redegalli said other factors, like maneuverability and the heat, also proved an impediment to driving. No stranger to controversy, Mr Redegalli was surprised the mural, which was painted last week, had not been vandalised when the Weekender visited the site. He has repainted the wall 65 times since September 2010. But Marrickville Council isn’t impressed, saying it doesn’t endorse any activity that jeopardises the “inclusiveness and respect for cultural diversity”. What’s your view?

And if you say nothing, the public believes you stand for nothing. It’s the scourge of modern politics that Parliamentarians all seem to think that this way of noncommital, non-confrontational speaking is what the voters want. The opposite is the truth. We love people with a bit of personality. Th ink of Bob Hawke, you think of skulling yard glasses and giving public holidays. Th ink of Kevin Rudd and you remember a dork who was hated by all of his colleagues. I suspect that no matter who wins out in the blood sport that is the Labor leadership battle, the party itself is due for failure at the next election. If the party can’t manage its own aff airs, how on earth can it be trusted to run an entire country. The only winner out of all of this is Tony Abbott. If I were him, I’d be half tempted to book myself a trip to the Bahamas for six weeks – he doesn’t need to say a thing.

their job. But talk of a leadership spill simply won’t go away because Julia Gillard continues to reach unprecedented depths for a Prime Minister in opinion polls. I think she has one major problem – when she talks, no one listens… and there’s a very simple reason for that: she’s boring. Having met the PM in person, I know she can be a very relaxed and even humorous woman, capable of holding court and telling a story. She’s warm, engaging, and selfeffacing. But put her in front of a few TV cameras and all of a sudden you’ve developed a cure for insomnia as she morphs into some sort of political robot. She talks so slowly, without any commitment, without emotion, and with the same structured sentences that are more beige than a Richie Benaud jacket. She has mastered the art of saying nothing at all.

After watching this week’s ridiculous sequence of events play out in Canberra, many would query who’d bother being a politician. Well I would. From what I can gather you don’t actually have to bother with much policy – you just argue with your allies, and the pay packet seems pretty handy, too. You can’t help but feel like the good ship of Australia is becoming more like the Costa Concordia with each week that passes. Those in charge are too distracted by what’s happening on the deck to actually take any notice of where we’re heading. I genuinely don’t care whether Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd leads the Labor Party, I just wish they’d bloody hurry up and decide. I think most Australians are of the same train of thought – while this political by-play might be entertaining for a select few journalists in Canberra, the rest of us just want the politicians to do

Labor leadership saga continues But Federal Member for Grayndler, Anthony Albanese, remains tight lipped over dramatic events late this week The battle for Labor Party leadership took a dramatic turn this week when Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd resigned from Washington DC, prompting Prime Minister Julia Gillard to hold a Caucus ballot on Monday.
L
abor is in a full-blown crisis with Kevin Rudd dramatically resigning as Foreign Minister late on Wednesday, leaving Australia desperately awaiting his next move in what has become a game of high stakes political chess. Mr Rudd’s remarkable decision followed ongoing speculation over the Labor leadership, which will continue over the weekend until a caucus ballot is likely to reveal Labor’s new leader and the new Prime Minister on Monday. Julia Gillard called a leadership spill at a press conference in South Australia on Thursday morning, saying it was time to end the ongoing speculation that continues to ravage the Federal Government. “I believe I can lead the Labor Party to victory, provided the party unites and we get on with the job,” she said. “We need to come together and keep working in the interests of the Australian people.” Prior to the press conference, Ms Gillard had issued only a brief statement on Wednesday night, saying she wasn’t aware of Mr Rudd’s plan to announce his resignation before he told the media in Washington DC. Before fl ying home to Australia, Mr Rudd said he believed he stood a better chance at beating Tony Abbott than Ms Gillard, talking
WANDA
up his “formidable” achievements as Prime Minister and calling for a new era of political unity. It is understood several Labor MPs, including Cabinet Ministers, have pledged support for Mr Rudd since the leadership
ballot was called. But Federal Transport Minister and Member for Grayndler, Anthony Albanese, has remained tight-lipped over the events of the past 48 hours. He had not provided comment to the
media when the Inner City Weekender went to print. Mr Albanese, a power fi gure in the Labor left, is understood to be a swinging voter whose vote may well determine who is Australia’s Prime Minister come Monday.

NEWS IN BRIEF ATM tampering Police from the Marrickville Local Area Command are urging members of the public to be vigilant when using ATM machines in the Marrickville area. There have been several reports that ATMs have been tampered with – meaning that the cash dispenser section of the machines does not dispense the correct amount of money. No arrests have been made at this time, but Marrickville Police are asking the public to report any individuals behaving suspiciously around any ATM machine. If you have witnessed anyone acting suspiciously around local ATMs, contact Marrickville Police or CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.
Caught in act A 52-year-old man was caught by police urinating in the local area last weekend. Police from Marrickville Local Area Command issued an on the spot fi ne to the 52-year-old man from Dulwich Hill after he was caught urinating on the train platform at Marrickville Railway Station last Saturday, February 18. Police are sending out a reminder to the public that it is an offence to urinate in public. If caught, you may receive a Criminal Infringement notice for offensive behaviour.

Win for local families Councillor lobbies for additional childcare at Marrickville West BY LOUISE BOURKE
P
arents at Marrickville West Public School are now able to send their children to Before School Care, thanks to the work of local Councillor, Emanuel Tsardoulias, who championed the proposal through Marrickville Council. “A lot of parents had brought the issue up with me that there are not enough spaces,” Cr Tsardoulias said. “Services like the Before and After care program is a vital community program which is needed for parents [for] that extra support.” Cr Tsardoulias lobbied for Before School Care to be established at Marrickville West, putting up a motion in Council in July last year. The motion was carried and the program was added to the school’s existing After School Care program. The new facility helps accommodates the growing baby boom in the area, as the Before School Care facilities at nearby Stanmore, Wilkins and Ferncourt public schools are at or near capacity. Coordinator, Joanne Attard, who previously worked at Wilkins Public School, said parents were very happy with the new service. Her colleague, Jessica Abi-Sassine, said the care program would only become increasingly popular with new enrollments and growing class sizes. “With each year we expect the numbers to rise as parents are more aware that the service is available,” she said.

P O LI CE SNAP SH OT Convenient robbery: Man charged

Concerns over Towers Proposed development exceeds Council s master plan, councillor says BY LOUISE BOURKE
M
arrickville Council has reiterated its concern about the Lewisham Towers development ahead of the Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) meeting into the proposal next week. Speaking at a Council meeting on Tuesday night, Councillor Max Phillips highlighted the over development of the site on the
corner of Longport Street and Old Canterbury Road as a chief concern. “[The proposed development] exceeds Council’s Master Plan in terms of height and density and I don’t think the traffi c assessment is adequately addressed,” he said. “I hope the PAC heeds the opinions of the Council and the community.” Council’s opposition to the proposed design follows media reports this week that the Department of Planning instructed the developer
to have their digital montages redesigned to more accurately depict the project’s scale. Tamara Winikoff, the chairwoman of the Lewisham residents’ group told Fairfax the developer may be trying to damp down an adverse response from the community to something that is completely out of scale and out of sympathy with what surrounds it. The PAC meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 28 from 1pm at the Petersham RSL Club.
Detectives investigating the alleged armed robbery of a convenience store in Marrickville last month have arrested and charged a man. About 12.45am on Saturday, January 28, a man entered the store on Marrickville Road, Marrickville, and allegedly threatened a 27-year-old male employee with a knife. It is alleged the armed man demanded money, before fl eeing with a sum of cash from the cash register. Th e employee did not sustain any injuries. Following inquiries, Marrickville Police arrested a man at Rockdale Railway Station on Monday. The 20-year-old was taken to St George Police Station where he was subsequently charged with robbery while armed with an offensive weapon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Teen assaulted: Transgender charged
A transgender person has been arrested and charged in relation to the alleged indecent assault of a teenager on a train between Newtown and Redfern last Thursday evening. At about 6pm, a 17-year-old schoolboy and his friend were
approached by a person while they were on a train. It is alleged that a person made offensive comments to the teenager before indecently assaulting him. Police arrested the transgender person last Friday, February 17 in Marrickville and charged them with assault and act of indecency. The 43-year-old has been granted conditional bail to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on March, 12. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At 7pm, the vehicle was seen by witnesses to collide with a parked vehicle on Warren Road in Marrickville. Investigations showed the vehicle had been involved in several other collisions around Sydney that day. The stolen vehicle was located in Moyes Avenue in Marrickville later that night. A 13-year-old girl and three other juveniles are assisting the police with enquiries.

Planning Minister says Council has improved application rates BY LOUISE BOURKE
M
arrickville Council has been named as one of the state’s big improvers in the 20102011 planning report card for speeding up the time it takes to process development applications (DA). The report card, released by NSW Planning Minister, Brad Hazzard, showed Council made the biggest
improvement of any council, cutting 22 days from the average DA processing time to fall in line with the average of 74 days. Mr Hazzard thanked the councils who showed an improvement in performance and said the report would assist the government to get new planning legislation through Parliament. Marrickville Council’s Manager, Development Assessment, Judy Clark, said
!
that faster processing times, particularly for commercial developments, would assist local economic growth. “It’s important to note that these results were achieved with existing Council resources,” Ms Clark said. “To manage to both, reduce processing times and be ranked as the most improved urban council is a signifi cant achievement by Council’s development assessment team.”

T
he 10,500 signature petition has been tabled in State Parliament but the Friends of the GreenWay group is continuing to rally support for the dumped project. The group is holding a community ride along the GreenWay corridor from Sydney Harbour to the Cooks River this Sunday, February 26. While the aim of the event is to
attract new volunteers to assist the campaign, organisers said it was also a chance to remind inner west residents about the GreenWay. “We'll be chatting, bike riding and marking the GreenWay with signs, ribbons and fl yers for an upcoming mass walk event,” a spokesperson for the group said. “Participants can meet likeminded people and learn how together we can make the GreenWay a vibrant walking and cycling connection, community meeting
space and wildlife habitat.” The ride will kick-off at 10.30am at the eastern side of the Bay Run footbridge at the bottom of Lilyfi eld Road and will fi nish at Marrickville Golf Club. It is expected to take between 90 minutes to 2 hours. The Friends of the GreenWay group is calling on the State Government to reinstate plans for the cycling, walking and environmental corridor alongside the proposed Inner West Light Rail, which the government scrapped last year.

and I feel great.” Ms Phipps said while the decision to donate was a personal choice, she and her husband have enormous gratitude and a new appreciation of life.
Let’s look at heating and cooling your home (22 per cent of your total energy usage) and water heating (37 per cent). During winter: First, close your blinds, doors and windows to trap the hot air inside. Small electric heaters are cheap to buy, but VERY expensive to run. Instead of using small personal electric heaters, go into your living room with gas heaters (save $150 a year) or reverse cycle air conditioner (save $300 a year). Note that these fi gures are from Ausgrid, realistically it’ll be a bit less than that. During summer: Try to keep out the heat first by drawing shades and blinds. Use natural ventilation when there is a breeze by opening opposing windows and doors. A fan is always a good choice. It has a low purchase price and low running cost. If you live in a dry climate, try evaporative coolers (remove heat from air with water vapours), it also has a very low running cost. Air conditioning is obviously the most expensive option, so try and pick one that is efficient and the right size for your room. Don’t forget to close doors and windows to trap cool air in. Water heating: Observe simple tips like boil the amounts of water you are going to use or try wash dishes in a sink by hand if there is just a few (dishwashers use more than

Petition circulates to reinstate top rating Indigenous show

ignatures are being collected for a petition to save the popular ‘Barefoot Rugby League Show’ after the program was axed by National Indigenous Television (NITV) earlier this year. The petition’s organiser, Tracey Cooley, said the ongoing support from people had been overwhelming. She currently has more than 1,460 signatures and is hoping to reach 5,000.
“I started the petition to try to help save the show because it keeps Aboriginal people that are living away from their communities for whatever reason connected and informed,” she said. The producers and hosts of the show, which profi les league players from grassroots to the NRL, are confused as to why the network’s highest rating program for the past four years won’t return in 2012.
“We didn’t get a proper answer, they just said they were heading in another direction,” said host and former Cronulla Shark, David Peachey. “To hear the show wasn’t being recommissioned was gut-wrenching.” A NITV spokesperson wouldn’t comment, but said a new show, called ‘Barefoot Sports’, would premiere next week featuring a broader range of sports.
he State Government has suspended volunteer bush regeneration work at RailCorp-owned land across NSW after the discovery of lead, arsenic and asbestos in soil samples from sites along the Inner West Light Rail extension route. The NSW Transport Minister, Gladys Berejiklian, said 13 of the 30 samples taken from seven sites adjacent to the proposed Inner
West Light Rail extension showed concerning levels of contaminants. “The land where stations will be built will be properly remediated as part of the construction, but I am acting to minimise any potential risk to members of the community who have selflessly given their time to make their local environment more beautiful,” Ms Berejiklian said on Monday. “Furthermore, I have
instructed Transport for NSW to ensure there is no more Bushcare activity at any RailCorp site across the state until further advice, and consultation with other government agencies.” Volunteer bushcare groups were working on fi ve of the contaminated sites. Ms Berejiklian said two working bees planned for the inner west this week have been cancelled on the advice of Transport for NSW.

10 BUSINESS Business Finance Hungry to lend
Don t let the trend deter you The latest National Australia Bank business survey shows that two-thirds of Australian fi rms reported no need for debt fi nance in January – the highest since the survey began four years ago. Th is slowdown in business borrowing has been pronounced in recent years – businesses had $71.3 billion less debt in December 2011 compared to December 2008, according to Reserve Bank data. Th is not only reflects the fact that many small-to-medium enterprises haven’t been able to get access to credit since the onset of the global fi nancial crisis, it shows that many businesses have been actively reducing debt, either by paying it down or by raising equity from owners and investors. If you’re a small business operator, don’t let this trend deter you from applying for fi nance if you need growth capital, because fi nancial institutions are hungrier to lend than they were 12 months ago. In fact, banks had more money on loan to businesses in December 2011 than in December 2010, according to the RBA. The good news is that traditional channels are reopening and new ones are being created. Before you visit your bank manager, do yourself a favour and shop around for the best fi nance to suit your business needs.

introducing a Schooling Resource Standard, which would have a set investment per student, and additional top-up funding to target disadvantage. The government will consult with states and territories, school sectors, education stakeholders and the wider school community on the next stages in developing a new funding model for schools.
Member for Grayndler, Anthony Albanese, said the education funding challenge was one the Australian community must face for schools to be internationally competitive. “I know local schools and parents have taken a great interest in this review and I think it’s important we all examine the recommendations together and give important feedback,” Mr Albanese said.

Reading is key
P
rime Minister Julia Gillard says she wants Australia to be a “reading nation”, and a community that embraces books and a culture of reading in every home, school and workplace. Ms Gillard made the comments in Canberra last week at the launch of the National Year of Reading Campaign, where she was joined by Arts Minister,
Educating Young Men of Faith, Action & Compassion Since 1916
Simon Crean, and Minister for School Education, Peter Garrett. “Around 4.5 million working-age Australian adults don’t have the high level of core, literacy and numeracy skills they need to succeed at work or study,” Ms Gillard said. “Reading is a passport to full participation in the life of the community and I want every Australian to know the
joy and pleasure that comes from books and reading.” During her speech, Ms Gillard made special mention of Tasmanian Labor MP, Dick Adams, who only learnt to read in later in life. Mr Adams is an ambassador for the program. The Federal Government has provided $1.3 million towards the reading campaign, which promotes a culture of reading.

Over the next few weeks you will feel as if your Guardian Angel is looking after you, however this doesn’t give you an excuse to do anything foolhardy or underhanded. In fact you are best to focus on working behind the scenes and keeping certain things to yourself. It is certainly not the ideal time to advertise your activities to all. Also you are likely to be feeling rather vulnerable and if you get annoyed it may difficult for you to express it.

Friends will play a big role in your life over the next four weeks, so make sure you’ve got plenty of time for them. Maybe you should get your diary and start making lots of dates and arrangements, especially if you haven’t seen much of certain chums recently. If you are hosting a party or special event then you have certainly chosen the right time for it. Expect the unexpected with your social circle and you won’t be disappointed.

Your public profile is going to be very important to you over the next month. Recognition and respect will certainly be forthcoming. You’re feeling dynamic and powerful and know exactly what you want to achieve. You’ll certainly give it your best shot, but be careful how you go about this. You’re very efficient and capable and your boss will be watching your progress. If you’re seeking a promotion or a new role you could soon hear something highly favourable.

Right now, you’re perfectly happy to dwell in a little world of your own making and you don’t want to come back to earth. Enjoy this while it lasts! You’re blessed with many social graces, which will boost your popularity and help every encounter go with a swing. If you’re a solo Virgo then you’ll soon be introduced to someone rather special.

It’s a super time to turn over a new leaf at work or where your health is concerned. If you’re fed up with your current job you might decide to look for something new or you might hear something that is right up your street. As for your health, you could be inspired to embark on a new eating regime or to introduce more exercise into your daily routine. Your libido will be high and it will be important that you express this, sexually or through other activity.

You’re in a sunny mood and feeling rather friendly towards the rest of the world. This is a wonderful time to catch up with old friends you haven’t seen in a while, especially if you can gossip with them. It’s also a good time for mooching around the sales and seeing what’s on offer. You will whiz through a host of paperwork and if you are studying then your research and revision will go extremely well. You will thoroughly enjoy it and learn some rather interesting facts.
If you’re feeling brave enough, you should get out all your credit card receipts and cheque stubs and fix them up. It will be far better to know the truth than to pretend that everything is all right. If you are applying for a consolidation loan or a mortgage then luck is on your side as you will be able to get one with low interest and other ideal terms and conditions. It’s certainly a good time for generating extra cash even if this means taking on a second job.

Elimination diet for eczema Q. I suff er from eczema. Is there anything I can do naturally to help as I don’t like using steroid cream every day? Eczema is a chronic skin disorder that presents as scaly and itchy rashes. It is well known that food sensitivities are one of the triggers of chronic eczema and plays an integral role in the outbreaks. Research also shows that chronic eczema has been linked to poor digestion, low levels of stomach acid, and/ or low levels of essential fatty acids. When treating eczema, an elimination diet is necessary to identify the trigger foods. Th e main culprits include: eggs, food additives, dairy foods, nuts, tomatoes, wheat and gluten. Once the food sensitivities have been identified, it is important to avoid these. In order to support a healthy gut and digestive system as well as a balanced immune system, it is important to eat a balanced diet consisting of wholefoods, avoiding processed foods. It

may also be necessary to take probiotic supplements. Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) are also important in keeping the immune and digestive system on track. Th ey prevent dryness, and help heal eczema. Th ese nutrients can be found in fi sh, nuts and seeds. Flaxseeds and cold water fi sh such as salmon and mackerel are particularly good sources. Zinc encourages proper absorption of EFA’s, it also supports immune function as well as playing a vital role in growth and repair of skin tissue. Zinc is found in animal foods, oats, mushrooms, miso, spelt, spinach, asparagus. Vitamin A and C are critical nutrients in the area of skin care. As well as supporting the immune system, they can reduce infl ammation and promote healing. Vitamin A and C can be found in orange fruits and vegetables as well as in leafy greens.
David Stein I was talking to a group in the health industry this week and we discussed low fat and often sugary foods and I wasn’t surprised to hear some of the responses. Th e people marketing all this low fat food must be worth the billions of dollars they make each year. Many people think that eating fat is what makes you fat, and that’s great for a company selling low fat products, but here are some things that didn’t make the ads. When you eat, the food is digested into tiny bits and gets into the bloodstream. The hormone Insulin is responsible for storing away all this food and getting it out of the blood and into your cells. While Insulin is getting that food out of your blood, it shuts down the systems that break down stored fat for energy until it gets rid of all this energy already in the blood. Th e more insulin released, the more storage into your cells is happening. One of the symptoms of Type I diabetes where they can’t produce insulin is weight loss. Th e more often your insulin spikes up and down, the more likely you are to suffer a host of things from diabetes II to cardiovascular disease and

obesity. Google ‘metabolic syndrome’. Guess what food triggers the highest insulin release. Simple sugars. Guess what type of food doesn’t trigger this insulin jump? Fats. So you could eat fat and stay in a fat burning mode. Eat a heap of junk sugary food and you turn into a fat storing machine. And yes, sugars get stored as fat. So don’t be scared of good fats like your meats, nuts and oils or a ripe avocado, they have lots of benefits. I have seen a lot of fat people in my time and not one got that way from too many avocados or
olive oil on their salad! Watch Jamie Oliver cook healthy food, I haven’t seen him do a dish yet that doesn’t have ‘a little bit ov olive oil’. Sugar has also been shown to lower the effectiveness of your immune system for hours. So be aware, I saw a cheesecake box with ‘low fat’ written in big letters and pictures of strawberries on it like that made it a great healthy food. What the?! Don’t swallow the advertising, or the food. Eat the good natural stuff, feel the diff erence and have a good weekend.

It focuses on compression – condensing data, compacting waste and household storage. The installation is formed by a collection of paper debris forged into three-dimensional structures called Debrocks. The Debrocks are created from old publications, bills, flyers and other printed paper into rock-like formations using household
vacuum storage bags.

Andrews is making a highly anticipated return to Belvoir to direct his own play, ‘Every Breath’, for its world premiere. Disturbing, humorous and eerily familiar, Every Breath is a play about need, human interaction, and the complexity and fragility of life. Chris, a security guard, stands by the swimming pool at night, guarding a seemingly privileged family from an unseen threat. Husband, wife, son and daughter are all inexplicably drawn to their protector, and with each interaction, their needs and insecurities are laid bare. “The meeting [of the characters] causes a kind of slow motion explosion,” says Andrews. “Every Breath is also a

Double whammy
Sydney FC comes from behind to win against Adelaide
Stanmore’s Jeff Turner will participate in the Ride to Conquer Cancer in October.
Conquer cancer Stanmore local will ride for 200km to help find a cure BY LOUISE BOURKE
S
tanmore’s Jeff Turner will go on the ride of his life when he takes part in the Th e Sunsuper Ride to Conquer Cancer in October this year. He will join thousands of others to complete the two-day, 200 kilometre charity ride through the NSW countryside to raise money for the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA.
Turner, 59, has started training and rides a few days a week with the Balance & UTS Tri Club as well as on his own. “I’m riding between three and four times a week doing about a 120 kilometres,” he said. “I also have a training program which I can do on my own, and I try to get at least one long ride in each month.” Turner has a special reason to take part in the ride. His late wife, Gail Edwards-
The Sydney FC Sky Blues celebrate a goal.
Turner, died of bowel cancer in August 2005 after a threeyear battle. He saw fi rst-hand the suffering brought on by cancer, and believes the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse will help cancer suff ers to receive all their treatment needs in the one, central location. Turner hopes to raise about $5,000. To help him reach this goal, visit conquercancer.org.au/goto/ jturner to make a donation online, or call 1300 33 RIDE.

ydney FC young guns Joel Chianese and Mitch Mallia shot Sydney FC back into the top six with a pair of goals in a come-frombehind 2-1 win over Adelaide United on Sunday. Chianese and Mallia both scored their fi rst goals in the Hyundai A-League but it was goalkeeper Ivan Necevski who was the star with a Man of the Match performance
that saw him pull off four saves after Adelaide had levelled the scores midway through the second half. During a dominant fi rst half performance, Sydney FC was rewarded in the 45th minute when Chianese, near the penalty spot, skillfully lobbed the ball into the back of the net. Adelaide levelled the scores in the 56th minute and Sydney FC coach Vitezslav Lavicka reacted to the comeback by throwing
speedster Mitch Mallia onto the pitch in the 77th minute, replacing Chianese. In the 80th minute the substitution paid dividends when Mallia made it a double for the youngsters with a typically exciting goal. It was a sweet victory for Sydney FC, who now has a sniff of a top four fi nish. Th e Sky Blues will now prepare for a clash with 4th-placed Wellington Phoenix at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday night.

Tigers too strong
Lack of discipline led to loss in second half, Jets coach says
T
he Balmain Tigers were too strong for the Jets in their NSW Cup trial match at Campbelltown Stadium last Saturday, with the Tigers posting a 36-30 victory over Newtown. The match was played in warm, humid conditions and the Jets looked impressive in the fi rst half, with all three of their tries involving good support play and well-directed passing. Halfback, Blake Davies, continued his claim to the title of golden boots of the pre-season, converting all fi ve Newtown tries on Saturday including three from the sideline. Newtown led 12-0 at the end of the fi rst quarter and 18-6 at halftime. But the second half saw the game’s fortunes swing in Balmain’s favour as they dominated territory and possession.
Newtown’s best moment in a mistake-riddled third quarter was when the Jets forwards made a succession of determined drives towards the Tigers tryline. Crisp passing allowed prop, Isaac Liu, to score under the posts. Jets coach, Greg Matterson, pointed to a lack of discipline by his players and what seemed to be a complacent mindset that allowed the game to slip away. The team’s disappointing second half was a contrast to their solid performance against Canterbury the previous weekend. The Jets will play another trial match to replace an earlier washed-out game, taking on Wentworthville tonight (Friday, February 24) at the New Era Stadium, Cabramatta. Kick-off is at 7pm.
