Do you know something more than the rest of us. Looking at the Lindfield President's statement on Facebook they didn't know and have taken a fair amount of responsibility for it. Not a very good cover-up if there are records and a Shute Shield player turning up in the middle of a season...

You really are old. They last won the Burke in 1976 and have never won a Kentwell. Lindfield deserve to be sanctioned and I'm glad they have. Every Club has it's malcontents and people who cross the line, just ask Rouse Hill. Don't try to tar an entire Club based the stupidity of a tiny few...

The behaviour of some Lindfield people is indefensible. But if anyone has been a part of Subbies administration, you would know it's very easy to do anything without the committee knowing about it. I don't think this will destroy Lindfield as a Club because their achievements (promotion to Div...

Now c'mon Pfitzy. How are the NSWRU people, let alone any ARU Numpty's supposed to find there way out there.....let alone bring a case of the Moet with them. You really don't understand the difficulties being faced by the rugby administrators these days :p

That depends on the competitiveness of the Colts. As they're worth more than 3rd Grade for points, there's a lot to be said for a strong Colts side. I believe Subbies thinking is that keep Colts as strong as possible rather than stack the higher grades and you might ensure the Club's...

Hey SV, I'm not suggesting Clubs have the money, least of all Subbies Clubs. I'm suggesting there may be economic rationale for Councils to make an investment upfront for potentially significant cost savings over the life of a sporting ground. With the explosion in 7's participation for both...

Out of curiosity, has anyone here played rugby on a synthetic pitch. I read there is one suitable for rugby in Lane Cove built at a cost of $7.5m Given the year-round uninterrupted use of such a surface and (I assume) minimal maintenance wouldn't the return on investment be worth it?

That might be the case, but has the research actually been done? I'm not assuming it hasn't but I know of a couple of clubs who made some very interesting discoveries when they properly mapped out where all their players lived using the member database. Some serious organisational changes were...

I didn't mention Knox in my initial suggestion because they are a Div 1 mainstay - at least for the last few years. Suppose BOBS could go into Lindfield as several probably played Lindfield Juniors, it's local and theirs are similar cultures. Especially if they're excluded from the GPS in...

Maybe Kings should pull together with Iggies and BOBS and Create the Old Boys Rugby Club. As each celebrates a special Club memorial day, Ladies day and unique OB Club day and there's 5 serious social events for building morale and coffers. Mates still get to play with each other, players...

Don't know if there was anything against the rules but running Hopoate on the field should at least be a fineable offence:D

Anyone know what happened at Balmain? Checked the scores and just won 1st grade and didn't show in any of the others. Are Lindfield making the showings of a Div 1 club?

Yep, I'm officially a goose. Time to go back to bed

Where are the Newport players going? Rats is really the only Club nearby. and the standard is significantly different. I suppose there's Dee Why and Terry Hills but I can't see them appealing to former Newport players.

Hi Grievous, There's a pretty good Golden Oldies scene around Sydney. It seems to be focused mainly in Sydney's north but there are clubs everywhere. There's no formal competition as such. They're just invitational gala days where you play against every team there on the day. Unless it's a...

My kids local rugby union U6 subs = $150+ The local league U6 subs = Free It's not exactly rocket science. Get the kids in early, build the friendships that will last through the formative years and players will go where their mates are.

....But why Pfitzy, When my mate Bazza the Unicorn is flying down the wing it's a sight to behold. And just because he get's his money in a brown bag from behind the bar after every game proves nothing. He is not being paid.....OK;)
