Wagga Juniors and Albury have both announced they are pulling the pin on games this year. Sad to hear but ultimately probably the right decision. Lets see what happens next !

And here we are. Despite everything thats happened ( and may well happen yet) SIRU will be on this weekend. So, tipping isnt going to be overly complex . City in a tight game I think . Tumut to pull off a shock win in the hills.

I don't think we've seen the last of major decisions being made by clubs ( of all codes) . I think we may be in for a wild ride this coming week !

The old 'DA does a story on 3 leaguies coming to a rugby club and some one has to make an insinuation that they may have made that decision for monetary incentive' trick ! Gets them every time ! C'mon gents you are far better than this. Meanwhile, in article posted the same day in the DA , two...

Clubs that made the decision to withdraw from first grade did so knowing full well that SIRU was always pressing on with a 1st Grade and Womens competition. They'd been saying that from mid april onwards. The priority had always been that . So for that reason a gala day concept was never going...

Now with only 8 games ( 2 first grade , 3 2nds & 3 Womens ) a week, will we have enough badged referee's to go around ? Or we be looking at CTA for the bulk ?

And we are very well aware of your opinion on this. No integrity, is a pretty big call to put back on the SIRU board and indirectly Brumbies Rugby. I mean these guys have worked bloody hard to make this '45%' Cup work after all. I dont think they planned to have a 45% cup - I reckon they...

Shock ? At what ? Some people trying to organise a rugby comp for Clubs that want to play rugby ? Heaven forbid !! Quick put a stop to that. But to placate the masses we shall call it Blair Cup this year ? After all its only half a competition! And there's some more irony for you . 3 clubs...

The silence on this forum has been deafening ! 4 teams in 1's - disappointing to say the least but it is what it is. Regardless of opinion, 4 clubs have indicated a willingness to play in 2020. Lets get on with it. Incredibly ironic situation at the uni with aggies having no numbers and Reddies...

So if we do end up with only 4 teams ( and only 3 have officially pulled out at this point !) and they are willing and committed to play , then they shouldn't play ? There's no rules to say they cant ? Just as we respect the decision of some clubs to withdraw, it makes sense that we must...

Not great news out of Griffith but they have to do what they have to do. If there is only 4 first grade sides nominated ( as suggested ) , I'd say SIRU would be edging closer to either a 1 team ( mens & womens) comp or some sort of 'gala' day scenario now. Tonights board meeting will be...

So we could be seeing some big news over the next few days in regards to SIRU and sport in general. Its interesting that the day after Group 10 & Group 11 Rugby League comps announce they will be in recess for 2020 - as well as Central West announcing that they would make a decision on the...

I dont think Albury will be the last club to announce something like this. Over in Mongoland (aka Group 9) , the uncertainty has forced the hand of a few of the smaller clubs. Like Temora and Coota , I think we will see something similar in SIRU shortly. You can only wonder at how this...

I suppose we just have to wait and see who nominates for what I guess ! Rugby is a community game and is seen as a social outing by many but by the same token , for the people playing and coaching its an important outlet as well. I think some kind of Rugby needs to be played this year. I'm...

Whilst I dont want that scenario personally, I can see that it may be a distinct possibility. It could well be the case that some clubs may only be able to commit to a single grade in 2020. And that is probably why SIRU appears inactive on a date. We just need to be flexible and perhaps...

The lack of the firm start date has probably got more to do with individual clubs and what they are going to be able to field this year. There was some telling comments From SIRU President about Aggies being able to field at least one side and Hay working out where they are at . That would...

Well , we can talk murmurs and rumours as well as furphies all day long. But until a draw comes comes out , i dont believe a thing.

I look forward to seeing how this will be managed. I'm pretty certain that 3's will get ditched this year , the logistics of the 100 person rule makes it almost too hard to manage in many ways. Perhaps staggered game starts with 30 minute gaps between games may be the answer ? Friday night games...

All very interesting indeed ! I am probably more interested in the mecahnics of how this comp will work rather than a possible outcome at the moment. The new road map as laid out by the state goverment would indicate groups of 10 from this friday , groups of up to 20 one month after ( depending...

From my viewpoint , I'd rather a september finish to the comp. We do have a large amount of farm and agricultural related types in our comp and things start to get a bit hectic at that time of year. By the same token, I'd just like to see some local rugby in action again. I cant see play in...
