Round 16 Review

The Swansea Breakers have defeated the Swindon Swaggers 186 to 168. The Swaggers had there best game of the year, were still no match for the Breakers. Mitch Golby went crazy when coming off half back, and Lachie Henderson stopped many goals. Dane Swan ran a riot in the middle, scorning a lazy 404, while the Breakers mid field dominating the midfield. The Breakers are now sitting 3rd on the ladder, and that's where they should finish the season.

Coach Nrich said that although the Swaggers were much better than expected, the boys did what they have to do.

Final Score: Swansea Breakers 22.18.186 defeated Swindon Swaggers 25.18.168

Finals Week 1 Review

The Swansea Breakers have defeated the Nottingham Hoods, despite having a makeshift ruckman in Liam Picken. The Hoods were one of the few teams who defeated the Breakers during the home and away season. The Breakers Midfield ran a riot again, even though Brent Moloney injured himself. The Breakers now get a week off and will play either the Bradford Badgers or the Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs.

Finals Week 3 Review

The Swansea Breakers have been knocked out of the finals, by the Hebden Bridge Hedgehogs. Adam Cooney was a late out, and other than that, it was a really poor week. Key forwards, Josh J Kennedy and Lachie Henderson had no influence on the game, while Joel Patful did what he could in the ruck.

Nrich told the media, that it was disappointing to go out on such a negative, there were many positives that came from the season.

Docherty Walks Out on the Breakers
Sam Docherty has had a fall out with the Swansea Breakers, and walked out on the club.

The last year has been a year of pain for me. The club makes me have to cook my own food, and I can't go to McDonalds at all. Also, Ringo smells funny.

Sam is a real pain to work with. The world has to revolve around him, and he has the worst diet. He gives zero shower about anything. Good bye and Good Riddance Sam.

The Breakers got pick 11 in return for Sam Docherty, who has gone too the Oxford Owls.

Full Trade:
Breakers Give: Sam Docherty
Breakers Get: Pick 11

The Breakers have also traded Jeff Garlett to the Owls for Tim Membrey and a pick upgrade.

Full trade:
Breakers Give: Jeff Garlett and pick 69
Breakers Get: Tim Membrey and Pick 32


There is also a rumour that the Breakers have an interest in Matthew Pavlich at the Crosby Cruisers.
