2 year deal, he will be back for next WC if we can afford him. All power to him to try his hand at a professional sport.

Heres hoping they dont pull out.

I think 1 more year in third div will be good for the men at croft. Very young club at the moment and a 3rd grade might stretch them. Hopefully they can retain their young guns and build numbers

Did they not Run colts aswell?

Yeah i guess we are arguing different points, now vs generally. Im sure everyone agrees we are currently in a predicament

I think this is kind of supports my point. The 10 shouldnt be pressured into kicking because he is the 10... he has a lot of other skills that need developing. It seems that you must kick if you play 10 surely we can be a bit more open minded then that.

Not sure why kicking duties have been restricted to a backs only skill. Have we forgotten about John Eales? Im not saying everyone should be practicing kicking, anyone who has some natural talent in the skill should work on it, make themselves more selectable. Not just a burden on the 10...

Could say the same for frost trying to lock down the second row position.

Any player that wants to make themselves a more valuable asset to the team should be out there practicing. The narrative that the 10 needs to be a place kicker is rubbish. Id rather the 10 focus on being a good game manager, ball player and line runner first. Let someone else practice their...

So what is 2024 looking like now? If the board can pull off 8-8-8 top 3 divs it must look something like below? Div 1 Hunters Hill Blue Mountains Waverley Drummoyne Colleagues Mosman Forest Lindfield Div 2 St Patricks Petersham UNSW Newport Epping Hills Briars Beecroft Div 3 Hawkesbury Valley...

May aswell create Div 2 of SRU

Looks like they slot into Div3, played 2 teams last year and finished bottom mid of the table. If Div 3 remains similar will be a much more local comp for them than last year.

Oh right didnt realise the contract was till the end of 23, there you.go, cannot see any reason why he would be announced in the squad haha

Well they cant give him the flick if he hasnt been found guilty yet.

In very little writing

I would say it generally involves focusing on being good at Rugby Union specific skills such as set piece. And building a game plan that works with the current squad. Its a fairly simple plan that seems to get results. It might not be "exciting" to some but Id rather have been a Brumbies...

Have you considered the close losses?

To your first point. Yes 100% agree more transperancy is needed around why decisions are made. To say the board doesnt communicate with clubs at all is just wrong. There are discussions had. A kitty? Where is this money coming from? Are we increasing regos for everyone to pay for clubs with...

The board does talk to clubs during the organising of divisions. Not really sure what you want to come of this survey idea? For example how is the subbies board meant to help you grow rugby in your area? Legitimate question. Not sure it is their responsibility. They are just volunteers trying...

Hmmm....6 years, no get out clauses, no non compete clauses.
