    Any unpaid intern who came up with an idea "in Waratah marketing land" would probably be immediately garbage-bagged out of the joint for insubordination. .

    I don't do a bad line in absurdist humour myself, #1, but I'll concede you've trumped me with the ridiculousness of the notion of NSWRU bankrolling anyone or anything. .

    Shute Shield 2014

    I'm not surprised by your suggestion that Uni should have opted for a penalty goal attempt, paul, as many people subscribe to the mantra, "Take the points"; but to describe the alternative approach as "sheer madness" is interesting. This was a very hard fought game where points were very hard...

    Shute Shield 2014

    Sorry to be so late to the party but I was away in China. I can't recall ever having commented on this type of incident. It fits in with my general position of not criticising players in print. .

    These could be season-defining games for both clubs in all grades, Dave. They will provide a good read on just where our teams are. Of course, there are other clubs who may be equally strong in particular grades but Manly and Uni have strong teams throughout. In Firsts Manly are usually a lot...

    Fair go, Dave. Ten days and nights of hard slog in the back-blocks of China. Funny way to spend your holidays. .

    Good as gold, RF. You've done some great work with the logos and accompanying text. .

    Yes, Grade. He's rated very highly at Uni and looked the goods in Ones yesterday in a very physical match. .

    My recollection, for what it is worth, is that not only did he play Colts for Penrith but his father was quite involved in running the program.

    Shute Shield 2014

    Nick had an extraordinary record with Sydney Uni at Colts level. If I remember correctly he coached or co-coached for eight seasons from Third Colts initially through to First Colts. In each of those seasons he took his team to the Grand Final, losing only once, in 2006 when Uni First Colts were...

    I've never been to Leichhardt, Lindommer, so I'll have to take your word for it. I understand that Balmain RC are able to secure very favourable rental terms from the local council. As far as Redfern is concerned, in Season 2 of the NRC, Sydney Uni No. 2 will be available and of equivalent size...

    You're hypothesising a degree of rationality, Ryan? It's possible I suppose. .

    I really like your logo, RF, although I'm not so keen on the vertically stretched font. I think we can find geographical justification for the name "Coves". The three Harbour coves of the very early settlement were Sydney Cove, Farm Cove and Iron Cove which forms the Western bound of the...

    My involvement in the vastly overrated discipline of economics goes back over half a century, but I confess I have not previously encountered the principle you espouse, QH. Were it so, at any one time there would be a veritable army of unpaid workers. Perhaps you were not paying attention in...

    If ever there was a player with zero affinity for Queensland it is Laurie Weeks. A principal reason why he left the Reds was because they wouldn't let him play club with Sydney Uni. I wouldn't be surprised if he has "Sydney" tattooed on one cheek and "Uni" on the other. .

    I don't know anyone connected with Balmain, Huge, but I have been associated with Uni sport and the Rugby Club since the late 'Eighties so I know almost everyone. I think the JV will work well. Uni has been positioning itself to participate at this level for over a decade and Warren...

    My guess, Huge, is that they'll go with gold, blue and black. And notwithstanding its authorship I'm increasingly attracted to Sydney Cove as a team name with the players referred to as the Coves. .

    Uni colours are blue and gold, Huge. No black. .
