Save that for the week after, when I support another away game.

lost me?

RC I'm not against ideas being shared as they all have the small 1%ers that make our game great. I think since the ARU passed those famous comments about the SS the competition has gone from strength to strength, hope the trajectory continues. What is also surprising is Uni has come back to...

True that is another way of looking at it, I haven't made it to many NRC games at all - and I've struggled to watch them on the box as well.

Hi there RC Commanding crowds equal to Super Rugby crowds - those crowds are aren't really that great, and they draw on all supporters of the state that aren't playing. I know I, and many others like going to watch more than one game of rugby. I know a number of people who told there wives to...

Southern Districts formed from Port Hacking and St George. West Tigers - yep league St George Illawarra - yep league That old saying if it aint broken dont fix it - well Penrith is busted and it is having an impact on the SS, so ideas on how to fix Penrith, rebuild, or change need to be looked...

Can I ask how the structures are identical? The Shute Shield is semi professional, and over recent years even players from overseas have come across to play in a strong comp that has a pathway. It is part of the path to rep honors. Subbies use to be known as second division, i can't draw a...

Yeah? I wasnt sure. Thats odd hey, I wonder why that is. Could that be offset by a credentialled Aussie coach - whilst not Aussie, and always being strong - look what Ben Ryan did with the Fiji 7s. Respecting and liking the coach could offset that ethnic issue.

About doing something a little different, this may have pros and cons. A club called Pacific Island Rugby Club. Instead of competing purely on code, a number of these great Pacific Island people are very patriotic and may stick around in rugby becuase of their nationality and it possibly...

Its an interesting one. There was a large number of people wanting the Western Force to stay a float because of rugby. I also think there would be a number of people hoping rugby could develop and grow in Western Sydney. It would be great seeing them get stronger and survive. But the results...

What was the Nths v Manly game like?

Go Marlins.

I thank you for the glowing praise, but you see I would love to have so many u13 - u18 playing rugby that every mini / junior club has a team playing up to that age group. So in Manly's space that is 5 clubs and there is work to do. And yeah it s a challenge. Our difference is whether Subbies...

Lastly I reckon most of the juniors at te 4 village clubs aspire to play for the Marlins. I'm sure there is a subbies forum on this site, if you want to grow the number of subbies clubs maybe share some ideas and planning there.

Here's a different angle. Uni, they make best use of the tools they have access to, they play to their strengths. What are your thoughts on how they look after their juniors and subbies? I think uni have helped lift the standard of the Shute which is a good think. Yes hard on clubs out west...

I said above I want all junior clubs to have teams through to u18. I think we should all do things better than last time. I was involved in the u17 state champs, and under 17s 7s state champ in giving boys opportunity and trying to do things better. Involved doing. But given Allambie Jets...

I checked the NSW subbies site whilst working today and I think there was over 7 subbies clubs providing opportunities to players.

Really I travel to every home and away game and spend money supporting every club because rugby comes first. I even liked the South's V Marlins facebook give away to give a club rugby sponsor more exposure. I want all Sydney junior clubs to go through to u18 but I can't do that being critical...

Did I bring up the Vikings, I was referencing what Crashy said. I said at the start let's not draw bows at each other but you keep coming back at me. You referenced junior clubs not converting into sunnies and us not putting in the effort. 3 of our 5 clubs have been around long enough to do it...

I understand the Vikings concept I'll come to that in a moment; These are the under 17 & 18 teams in the SJRU this year. I'm not going to be critical but are any from South's? Gordon Barbarians & Newport Pirates Newport Breakers & Forest JRUFC Manly Vikings & Northern Beaches Rats is it...
