Relevent to all this discussion is the format of the competition in 2014. Is there any concrete information about this, "post season championship", the supposed super B competition, a national or multiple regional academies, how the SS itself will run or any other detail? How can any...

So does that indicate that Alofa, Horwitz, Lucas and Petersen are 4 of the 5 EPS spots? Still no third hooker. What happens with Wider Training Group and the proposed Academy comprising a further 10 players (making the full squad 30 +5+10 = 45)?

I agree and heres why Woodies will have a chance to win the collisions: Robinson, Pearce, Plotkys, Barry, Roach - strong tough tackling/hitting (refer last week v Manly for recent example) and massive work rate. Perret, Macaffery, Clyne- strong running and smart. The Woodies 8 have everything...

Nominees according to ABC are: Horwitz (Randwick) Poreki (Manly) Roach (Eastwood) Dowsett (Norths) Vaitale ( Penrith) Howell (Warringah) Lautolo (Randwick)

Do we count the three wallabies souths fielded; S.Timani, R.Horne and N.Cummins?

I noticed on the last 2 ABC games where Eastwood have featured, and Roach has played #7, he has still kept the throwing duties. I guess either he is not as bad as reported here or the throw in is not so important? The former I suspect!

I think we will all be interested to see what effect the new engagement laws and depowered hit has on the role of the entire front row including the hooker. It will also be interesting to see how the Tahs want to play their first and last 20 minute periods. All hookers have to practice throwing...

Hugh Roach is listed in a recent article in Rugby News as 101kg and the ARU stats have him at 178cms in the U20 media guide. Same height as Latu but 9kg lighter, as an ametur. Dont really understand this fixation with his size being "too small" when his workrate is so high and speed around the...

who is your pick?

is that public/confimed?

The form hooker in the shute shield is Roach from Eastwood IMHO. He has the abrasive toughness Cheika wants, the work ethic the team needs and the skills and athleticisim required to be a robust pro player. He is holding a spot in the top SS team in either of two positions and has a great reack...

Watched the Eastwood v Gordon game on Club Rugby TV last night. An Eastwood /Uni GF is possible and might be a good match up, but Eastwood dont appear to have the massive fire power to match Uni. The Perret/Palermo/Roach back row of the Woodies is fantastic, and Hilgendorf is running the...

If there are 5 EPS spots open, then what does that mean for the existing 5 EPS palyers? Lucas - upgraded? But they have McK and Phipps. Is a second year in EPS realistic? Holmes - upgraded or released? Virtually no game time in 2013, Fitzpatrick gone, Streaker and Latu in Argentina, Roach in...

Eastwood’s McDougall called up for Argentina tour 25/07/2013 By Waratahs Rugby Media Unit McDougall in action Michael McDougall has today been called into the NSW Barbarians squad for next month’s two-match tour of Argentina. The 22-year-old centre from Eastwood will take the place of...

I also liked the interview, but Coach Cheika spoke about the Arg tour squad being a chance to look in particular at hookers, locks and outside backs. I cant see that the Club players chosen to cover those positions are the next best in Clubland are they? surley there is some politics involved in...

The Eastwood set piece has been good this year, the lineout in particular has worked well with both throwing and catching excellant. I guess over 90% sucess on own throw and also 2-3 steals per game. Scrum has also been good. Manetti has 4 genuine 1st grade props, 3 hookers and a stong 4 and 5...

Woodies played Roach for 60 mins against Penrith and Fitz for 20. Roach stayed on at #7 for the remainder of the game. Against Norths, same plan, however this time roach went to #6 This week against wicks.... who knows. What we do know is that Woodies are a better side with both of them on the...
