Or potentially there's no "hometown bias"...

Have you thought of getting in touch with the Community Rugby Manager mate?

I think these sort of scenarios are part of why having more teams (or options) in the competition is important. Deni have a strong club with arguably more supporters than Hay, maybe they will be the 1st Grade side in 2021? I suppose that over the years there have been a number of iterations of...

Tin foil hat territory guys, don't worry about the country of origin - worry about the referee's skill level. Refs will stuff things up, just as players will. For the record - I didn't see the game in question but clearly it was a shocker!

What would be the outcome of such reviews? I doubt that there would be much that SIRU could or would be able to do. The Board approved Hay to play in the main competition, I reckon it's just about letting them roll on now. Hopefully, there was some solid discussion, maybe even a request for...

While the local referee association will be on hand to help out where possible, there is no significant growth in referee numbers that I'm aware of and the reality is that it can take 3-5 years to mould a prospect into a good referee. I can see that 2020 might see CTA appointments for 1st...

*Matt I would add that there should be a club rugby wrap at halftime in the NZ game or fulltime in that game. That'll be roughly 6-7pm and will be right at the time that your country clubs are heading to the pub for speeches and will make a good talking point for rugby in general.

I'm not a fan of the reality TV shows, but can definitely identify with not plugging the TV in. 5G internet (and then whatever is next gen after that) will make the NBN (to your home) redundant, set-top box TV will go. Punters will only subscribe to what they want to subscribe to...

The Brumbies are bringing two Super W trials to Wagga this weekend. Geez, it's a shame that these games don't get the promotion that they deserve. Former Wagga product Jane Garraway has been named as the Brumbies Vice-Captain, Harriet Elleman (former SIRU Board Member and now CSU stalwart...)...

Well done to the SIRU and ex-SIRU players named in the Brumbies Super W Squad. Great effort all, well done! https://brumbies.rugby/news/2020/01/23/brumbies-super-w-squad-2020

Not that I'm aware of mate.

I believe the draw was being discussed by he Board on Monday evening. No details on DO status at present, from memory applications were still open til early January. Given timelines for reviews, interviews and then someone giving notice at their current employer etc etc - it's likely that the...

Do you live in regional Victoria by any chance? https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/nazi-flag-beulah-resident-lashes-out-victoria/3fa12d4a-ef77-4e98-9314-12a31df2a141

Are you working on the Saffa edition DP?

I'm sure the brainstrust at the Steamer's are all over this angle and will be promoting this match at every possible level. They've got some great local politico support which will hopefully open some doors also.

Do it, you won't regret it mate. Buy your fuel in town, take the scenic route via Bright etc and have lunch. Buy some meat from the local butcher, pick up some beer or cider from the breweries up that way...

Great work by the Albury Steamers to have secured the "Battle of the Border" down on the river next week, there are loads of events on around these two matches - Sportsmen's Lunch, Foundation Course, plenty of local press and "meet and greet" opportunities. Check out the Steamer's FB page for...

Negatory Batman, I'd expect something later this month though.:) Jock Mason has retired? :D

Glacial is being too kind, at least climate change has the glacier's moving... I think there is little doubt that it will get done, the question will be when and in what state. I'd be surprised if the pitch itself is in any condition to play on next year, let alone lights, grandstand...

You're on fire here PB, solid gold mate :) I saw those comments yesterday and don't know why he/she has deleted them. If the general rugby public think that all clubs don't have some type of budget for attracting players, they've got rocks in their heads - don't we want the best players the...
