The Northern Blues are set to face a solid week on the training track.

The side is back on the winner’s list after posting a convincing 44-point win over North Ballarat last weekend.

Coach Luke Webster says he was particularly pleased with the work of Blues defenders Andrew Collins, Aaron Joseph and Matthew Watson, while forward Sam Rowe was up to the challenge of playing on the backline.

“We’ve thrown a few challenges to the guys over the past few weeks, Jeremy Laidler playing forward and Sam Rowe going back. So it’s another good string to his bow to be able to play as a tall defender.”

The Northern Blues have a bye this weekend, ahead of a big match against Collingwood in Round 8.
