Sio gets his chance at the start for Woods against Uni at Mudgee
By MARK CASHMAN
You know what you are going to get when Pat Sio is in your side and Eastwood coach Ben Batger is hoping that he delivers in spades when the Woods head to Mudgee to take on Sydney Uni on Saturday.
Sio has been a vital part of the Woods’ success in recent seasons and led the team to the Shute Shield grand final last year where they pushed Gordon all the way before succumbing late.
The 27-year-old has had a later start to the season after bedding in a new job that meant that he missed a fair bit of the pre-season and all of the trials, truncated though they were.
“That has meant that we have used him a bit off the bench with Sione Tau in our group for the first couple of rounds,” Batger told Rugby News.
