Ok no answers on Connoly or the 7's. How about is there any answers or indications on a Bill Castle medalist for 2021 ?

I think lockdown has finally got them. So no SIRU 7's season at all or just pushed back ? And on another note at what stage will the great white elephant of Connolly 4 ever become reality ? 5 years now I think.

Thats just a touch too weird.

I'd be delighted to accept low carb beers and a kebab off you !

I'm almost willing to bet mandatory vaccination will be in place across the board as a requirement in return to play. I suspect most, if not all sports, will be making this a condition of registration. SIRU will have no say in it at the end of the day. Will it affect us ? Yes, i believe so. How...

You're right Namtrak. I cant remember when we last beat Albury in First grade either. Like the Loch Ness monster, Steamers have only been sighted by a select few in 1's of late !

Thanks Sam. Its a shame all round . Looks like we will keep the bulk but also will be losing a few - which to be fair is normal. A few retirements have gone back 12 months as well ! It has been a great year for city , minor premiers in two grades as well as being (potential ) semi finalist in...

And that was all she wrote. If todays announcement wasnt the death knell of season 2021 then i'm not sure what else is? A shame , and we ( City) would have loved to have won that premiership . I guess it will have an asterisk against it now !

Its worth noting that Central west has awarded minor premiers in each grade the respective premierships. Now while that would benefit my club it certainly would be very hollow. So for that reason i am reluctant to follow that path. We have one asterisk ( allegedly) against us already. Whilst I...

Well I got that badly wrong. The $5 i paid to see a crushing tahs defeat didnt quite pan out that way ! Tahs put on quite the rugby lesson for Griffith. 2nd half was a bit scrappier but when its 52 zip at half time it doesnt really matter ? I am told Griffith had 8 changes from the week before...

Well as many privately predicted , the comp has shrunk to 6 first grade teams for the balance of the season. Bummer of a way to end a season for the steamers and i do feel for the players and coaches. But the moment chairman dan took wagga out of the border bubble it was all over bar the...

That was some certainly some interesting results in games played over the weekend . The Tumut Bulls would have drunk the Royal near dry on saturday night ! There was certainly a cheer from both sides at Connolly when that result was read out ! As for the City v Griffith game , it was a bloody...

Steamers back this week apparently. Good on them for having a dig. How long its feasible is the next question. With semis coming up and the sydney situation getting worse how does that stack up ? Cant see chairman dan backing down on bubbles and borders if sydney cant get it together ! City to...

Good results for Tumut and Griffith on weekend. Got the job done in what was another weekend of trying conditions. I do have a great deal of understanding for Albury and their situation , i am also concerned that the nature of the comp is being skewed by the scoreless draws. Its not affecting...

I reckon you'd need to find the big bit of carpet that it was swept under to get the answer to that ! My tips for this week ? Tahs by lots against Albury. I think the ongoing border shenanigans, unclear bubbles and player reluctance is going to hit Albury hard. I seriously doubt there will be...

I saw some pictures of Twickenham 2 and it looked like it was a rice paddy not a rugby ground . If that was the standard , what did Jarrah look like ?? Some seriously ordinary weather on Saturday, kudos to all the teams involved. Especially the Aggies and City girls that had to slog it out in...

The forecast doesnt look good for weekend but the the games should make up for it. The key game is Tumut v Albury . Tumut wins , then the final four scenario changes. It really is a must win game for both sides. I think Tumut can do it . Bulls 1-12 Blacks should account for Reddies i think...

I suspect there will be some interested observers of what happens now that there is a hard border between Vic and NSW again. Given the issues that occurred a few months back we may see further disruptions possibly . Hopefully not ! Good result for The Blacks in Albury. Very impressive effort ...

All the best with the move Reasoning. Albury v Griffith - should be match of the round ( hopefully its streamed!!) and will have a major bearing on the 3/4 position on the ladder. At home for Albury its hard to go past them. But Griffith have traveled well lately and are starting to play some...

Good old fashioned game on saturday. Fair bit of fire and the banter on the field at times was quality! It was a shame the Bar TV people couldnt cover the game. Not sure of reason but im sure Rona was invoked at some point. Griffith really needed that win to stay in touch and i think you can...
