Controversy clouded the day even before the kick off with Coach Jenkins drawing a line in the sand on Thursday when he dropped SUPER STAR Pretty Boy Jimmy Latham for not coming to training.
Despite desperate pleas from Jimmy’s mum Jenkins was adamant. No train No Play with no concessions for anyone.
A tearful Jimmy at Friday’s captain’s run declared that the reason he missed training was because he was rostered on at the Mann Street Soup Kitchen where he spent Thursday night serving minestrone soup to the needy.
Declaring Jenkins to be heartless and unforgiving Jimmy was heard to say that Jenkins was ”dead to me !”
Despite playing a starring role in the 2nd grade 95-0 demolition of Woy Woy Latham did not put the boots on for the first grade bench.
However a timely intervention by Chin Tu Fat’s Chinese facilitator and hostage negotiator saw Latham and Jenkins make up on the first grade bench prior to Latham being subbed into first grade.. Jenkins denies that part of the reconciliation consideration was to allow Jimmy to deliver minestrone soup to the outlying soup kitchens of the Gosford Shire.
The sight of 2 men kissing and hugging on the bench upset some of the supporters but for all the Kiwis in the club it apparently is a common occurrence now the laws have changed over the ditch.
And now to the game … the first half saw the Sharks struggle to execute but with the wind at their backs the tries came thick and fast straight from the kickoff in the second half.
Pistol Pete Mitchell latched onto some wide passes to score out wide a few times and Emile shattered his 100 % goal kicking average with a missed shocker from in front. David Riley was strong on the left wing until an untimely accident saw him shatter his arm. Due the nature of that accident the referee called time with the Sharks running out winners 61-3 with 11 tries being scored but only 3 conversions . Lets hope Dave is up and about real soon and back with the Sharks.
Best on field was Pat Jenkins who was every where with solid support from Oatie and Sherry.
