An interesting case of pots vs. kettles there. But sadly not an entirely incorrect statement. With nearly all clubs selling their licensed clubs and now Eastwood selling off TG Milner, it's a fairly sad indictment on rugby governance in Australia generally.

Just reading questions for 2018 and the 2017 thread. Not quite right. So far, a bold prediction of a Royals vs Eagles GF. Anything else from the knowledgeable or those who just need a rant? Player movements, coaching movements, ramifications of potential expulsion of Penrith from Shute...

Not sure what Panthers money is like but surely they could warehouse a few Leaguies to play Union for the Emu's and then bring them back across to Panthers if and when as needed. Let's be honest, in the modern games - aside from the tight 5 - skill sets are much closer than they used to be. It...

Hey NBB, Your love of vision is admirable, but your grasp of geography is, well, loose. Also many of the clubs you have suggested for merging have no need to merge. Mosman, Waverly, Lindfield are all travelling pretty well. Demographics are helpful. Maccabi seems to be another club that is...

......now that I've stopped laughing..........

fixed Based on the inverse relationship between B_M's predictive powers and reality, Knox could be in for some lean years.

I would just like to see the ARU show some interest in the future of Australian Rugby period. We're f'n broke because they overpay lazy players who don't play nearly enough rugby. If I had a kid with as much talent as these boys and a NZ Super side showed an interest, I'd send them on the...

With Beaver turning out for Warringah Rats I suppose there's a couple of older ex leaguies who could see that the game the play in heaven is pretty good here on earth.

Like Communism, great in theory, crap in practice. Colleagues is a great example. They won't go to other Clubs, they'll just play for Convicts. Mosman would just create Balmoral Rugby Club or some such. It could work at Shute level where players have ambition and want to chase the honours. For...

Have to disagree on this one. I want the best players available playing in the best teams. If you take out the Mungos and undecided, those who stay will be playing along side players who are not the best. As has been shown by the international tiers of rugby, only when teams play with and...

With 2's, 3's 4's & 5's all in the top four, and 5th on CC points imagine what they could do if they got their sh#t together:eek:

Time to put fences in perspective. They might be the "best grounds" but they a f'n crap to play at. So many Subbies games I've played at with good fences, we've been told that only the water boy is allowed on the field.....putting the supporters 40 metres back from the action. That's great...

Emosi Tuqiri definitely seems to have the skills and size. What impressed me most about the video was the opposition. At Schoolboy level, even 1st XV you can get gunshy players when taking on a guy that much bigger. They may have been bumped off but not one of them stood off him. On a more...

Took a meander up to Beecroft last week and saw they had some Apple i-thingy (technical term for older blokes) for tapping cards. The payment then got confirmed on the guys phone. Looked like a cheap and easy solution to the ever encroaching cashless society. Can anybody else confirm they use...

Heavyd, They look like some pretty solid competitions, what about everyone currently below Div 3. Are they just expected to suck it up and keep on travelling. Especially given they're the clubs, generally, that have the biggest issues with travel and consistent numbers. Don't get me wrong, I...

Hey Sandeep, a regional structure would be fantastic. The biggest hurdle however would be the disparity between Clubs. For example, two clubs likely to face off would be Hills (4 Grades + Colts + Halligan's) and Rouse Hill (1.5 to 2 grades at the moment). Where would the extra teams go, either...

You're still not getting it. Subbies rugby is about playing for the fun of it with you're mates. Premierships are great but good clubs keep on going comfortably without them. Seriously, how sad must you're life be that you need to be paid to play park footy against a bunch washed up never...

BB By saying a Club has "racial issues", you are absolutely insinuating racism. Otherwise you could have easily have said, There's an untapped market...." You didn't Bringing the "white powder" reference without a shred of confirming evidence you are simply trying to defame a Club....yes...

Like the Wallabies and Springboks wearing green and gold. Ludicrous. St Ives, Brothers and Waverley should also change their colours to suit a club that plays what division again? Lets also throw away those pesky netballers who make up the Epping club because that's an inconvenience. All to...

And nor should you given the feelings expressed by some posters. Thank you for sharing your experience and what it's like on the other side of the fence. While I am currently agnostic about scholarships, as long as they provide a benefit and opportunity to the student they would not otherwise...
