All roads lead to Griffith this weekend at the magnificent Exies Sports Club for the following game times: 3rd Grade 11:15am Hay (2) v Deni (4) 2nd Grade 12:40pm Ag College (2) v City (3) Women's 2:15pm CSU (1) v Griffith (4) 1st Grade 3:20pm Ag College (2) v Albury (4) Interestingly, City...

The Waratahs v CSU Women's game was the best game of the day in my view. Griffith v Albury had some cliffhanger moments there as the Blacks had two chances to draw the scores late in the game but the Women's game was a cracker. It's interesting to see the effect that changing to a Ten's...

I reckon the "Bun Fight" as @Bubba puts it is what needs to be opened though. The Board can't seriously consider that there are only 3x instances of this across the comp can they? And for the record, the Steamers 1st Grade team are no more important than the other teams that have copped this...

As I understand it, there are sanctions available to the Board which they didn't take. For me, a sliding scale would be a more sensible approach. Maybe a written warning with a suspended sentence in the first instance, a fine in the second with docking competition points being a last resort...

I've never been a fan of tin foil hats, there's usually a logical explanation for most things. I'm pleased that have some of those conspiracy theories dismissed and it's good to hear some background on Noa. Context is important. I agree that the zone has put itself in this situation and it...

Ok, I get it now, sorry I'm a bit slow on the uptake and I'm not paying for a DA subscription. I'll put my tin foil hat on for a minute. So, this happened in the Albury v City match. Which is now a "non-result" Albury now cop -30 points and City get +30 points. A season-defining game for...

I started writing a bit of a spiel about this docking of competition points scenario but deleted it. The Steamer's aren't the first club to suffer this outcome this season but did the power's that be get it right in those other instances? Has the zone painted itself into a corner? Do members of...

Signed in triplicate? Carbon copies forwarded by facsimile? :)

Commonsense has prevailed. Griffith Blacks are hosting Week Two of the Finals.

Regardless of on-field success, I think James is a guy that City would be wise to keep around the club in a senior role wherever possible. Maybe some more support with assistant coach/es would be a positive move? No doubt City will be frustrated by their final ladder position, particularly...

Is it three times fellas? Definitely not by the same referee regardless. I know for the first example that I was aware of that the two potential players were asked to identify themselves in front of their captain and both denied any wrong doing. Hardly fair to point that one at the referee in...

I agree with you Paul, so does the SIRU Judiciary. In many instances though, the flip-side of the "soft" card is player safety and that needs to be the main concern for any referee. I'm yet to meet a referee that enjoys handing out cards or filling out the paperwork mate!! This is good to...

Fantastic point. It is. And, even better. The Swans are playing at Leeton. Great pick up there son.

The "Ace in the hole" for the Griffith Blacks is guys like Lee Kimball who has a long-standing relationship in the area. If Aggies are playing in two grades, with Griffith in two grades also, that's a decent start. The problem for this is the deadline for nominations closes this Friday (I...

Fair point, but is it really that different from Tumut last year? Most clubs operate their bar out of a tent (other than Griffith and Albury from memory). I doubt the Swans and Goannas would agree to moving the game to the Sunday to accommodate the Blacks even if they do get along well...

Even if it's on the second field, it makes sense for the Blacks to host. It would be great to be on the main ground though. The referee keeps track of Yellow Card timings (usually AR1 if available). Reserves etc are all coordinated through the Match Day Table where both clubs run the Rugby...

I reckon the key to the remaining rounds is to see what Griffith can build on, they need to be getting their best XV on the park each week, likewise for Aggies and Albury. The Steamers are waiting on Blake Le Cornu to come back from a hamstring issue, House Kora is propping again, they've got...

It's an amazing scenario, but City are a genuine chance of falling back in line with Leeton on the ladder by season's end, and who would have thought to see a run for the last 4 rounds like Griffith, Leeton and Albury and putting together!! I don't think Aggies can lose 2nd place on the ladder...

You should have no problems finding your way to the front of the queue at Jack's to buy cans by the carton. "1x 30 pack of Grate Norvuns please".

Looks like he won't be hard to pick mate, the loud loon celebrating his reunion at Jack's Bar.
