Good observation there PB, I reckon you're onto something. The teams that I've seen run around this year have struggled to show much imagination or ability to change the point of attack or even to play to the conditions in some regards. Maybe this "flair" or unconventional approach is the...

Apparently submissions close this week? Then the Board needs to meet to determine who is successful etc. I reckon that's leaving things a bit fine myself. Surely the clubs would appreciate knowing where that round of matches is being played? In other news, the WaggaTV MOTR this week is the...

#SIRU2019 Round 13 Results: 1st Grade: Albury 31 bt Tumut 21 Waratahs 76 bt CSU 5 Leeton 43 bt City 25 Ag College 31 bt Griffith 22 A perfect storm is brewing for the remaining rounds of the competition, none greater than Albury v City at Fortress Murrayfield next weekend. The results over...

This is a good idea mate, do you reckon there is any type of season review on the cards for this type of suggestion?

I dusted off my abacus this morning. Griffith can bag 2nd place if WAC lose 2/4 in the remaining rounds. The Steamers are still a mathematical possiblity to play Finals, but need to beat City and WAC with bonus point wins AND they need City to score zero points in those losses. If City...

Yep, Aggies have got their work cut out for themselves if they want that 2nd chance in the Finals don't they. Interestingly, Albury are potentially collateral damage out of the City win over Aggies on the weekend. They would have been hoping for an Aggies win to bring City back level with...

I reckon the Blacks are definitely on a roll, however I think the run has been left too late for them to snare 2nd position (and a second chance in the finals series) as that depends on other results for them. Aggies would need to lose twice in the last 4 weeks of the competition while...

I'd be up for that PB, SIRU may need to invest in a wide angle lens to fit my big schnozz in though. I reckon there's some legs in something like that mate, I have no media-related skills whatsoever though!!

Rugby has been pushing sh1t up hill with the DA for years though hasn't it, the DA wouldn't even acknowledge the zone's major sponsor and I doubt much has changed in the paper over the years.

Thanks @WhistleHappy, I reckon City left a number of points out on the park at CSU. Reddies had some good invidual performances on the day, most notably Dean Smart who played 1/2 of 2nd Grade and then Captained 1st Grade - a solid effort for sure. @PB, The latter stages of a lot of games...

I hope that's the case, this is the first I've heard of the program and I'd agree that it is a better option for the SIRU Juniors. It's arguably a throw back to the early 2000's when SIRU first kicked off, there was a similar concept out there for Colts and Seniors invloving CW, ACT North, ACT...

Great news for SIRU Juniors, sounds like it's been planned "on the fly". Maybe there are some ACT/SNSW People paying attention to this site? Does anyone have any further mail on this, has this been sent out to Junior Clubs etc...

Good calls there @WhistleHappy. The two key matchups are Albury v Griffith and Tumut v Ag College, I'll be keen to see what happens with those two games for sure. I watched CSU go round against Ag College recently and while the result went Aggies way, Reddies never took a backward step and...

Alright, we've all had enough of a whinge for the moment, let's look at some positives in the local scene... AON Sponsor for the Women's Competition (3x years I believe), Rep Program is progressing with the Capital Cup and a potential tour (TBC), even matches being played regularly and an even...

In fairness to the roles of our DO's, they need to work to the strategy put in place by the Brumbies. They are trying to create opportunities for kids to play rugby at school and then links into the local Junior Club. The Brumbies could run some coaching programs at those clubs, but the DO's...

I'd suggest that there are no strategic plans in place for Rugby in this area of the world that have tangible outcomes. I am aware of some strategies there to increase the junior competition which is pleasing to see some thought go into, however I am not aware of any plans for the Senior...

Wow, the media blackout comment clearly hit a nerve didn't it! Apologies for any offence caused. My thoughts are that it's difficult to get much information on what's happening with the rep program, while we've been lucky to have the SIRU Rep Coach commenting here on the forum, there really...

SIRU Rep Coaches must be on a Media Blackout til the Brumbies Provincial Championships are over? In other news, I was not aware of the options for the Women's Rep Program. Still in it's early stages, the initial plan is for the SIRU Women to trial against Uni Norths this weekend in Canberra...

I suppose there are two ways of looking at that Paul, is there potential in there for some good talk amongst the coaches, players and Board Members within the local competition to promote the value of playing Rep Footy? I agree transparency would assist with this, but do the players already...

I'm going to sit on the fence here and say that I can see both sides of the argument. In the first instance, the guys that have shown up for the trials etc deserve to be recognised for that effort. I can also see that a player who has played Rep footy previously and may not have been...
