West Harbour are hoping to draw on the “intel” of their own sevens stars to subdue Randwick when they take on the table-topping Galloping Greens on Saturday.

Wests are celebrating Back to Wests day at Drummoyne and they have a variety of activities planned around the day – hopefully the first grade side can top it all off with their first win over the Shute Shield season.

Pirates head coach Mark Gudmunson is aware of the travails of the Two Blues last weekend when the Wicks unleashed three national sevens squad members and ran over the top of them, scoring 42 points after the break.

“We hope they will be chasing us after the break,” Gudmunson added.

“We’ve got some good intel on their sevens boys as we have Josh Coward and Rod Davies in our group, but they are not the only thing we need to be focus on.

“They have some strong strike power across the park, as we do, and I hope the weather holds out and we have the chance to have some fun.”

Gudmunson added: “The score (against Eastwood) did not do justice to the game just gone and we know we are not far off putting it all together.

“We have had a really good week this week in preparation for Randwick and are quite positive about what we can do if we get some ball and some decisions to go our way.”

Randwick coach Ben McCormack said that Wests current zero and three record wasn’t an indication of the ability and potential of their side.

“With the talent in their roster you would not have expected to be 0-3 going into this week, so they will be desperate to start well, so we will need to be on from the first whistle unlike last week,” McCormack said.

“They actually have four Wicks players from last year in their starting team including the entire front row.

“They have forecast a lot of rain on Friday and Saturday morning so we will have to play the conditions well and maybe tighten things up a little.

It should be a good battle but I’m confident we will be up for it.”
