Apparently he had played 4 games -- rounds 14 (off the bench) and 15 in 2nds and rounds 16 and 18 in 1sts.

He first played (off the bench) in round 14 so although I think he's only played 3 games I believe he was injured after round 16 so I assume that means he's "played" the required 4 games. He doesn't have a current S15 contract as far as I know so is able to played 1st OR 2nd grade. Is this...

Anyone know what the qualification criteria are for Catchpole Rookie of the Year? Will Munro was nominated last year but had played most of the previous year in 1sts and I assume Moa Malepo (Parra) is the same young guy who played 1sts at the Wicks last year.

Angus wasn't playing.

I don't blame the officials for the loss but it's certainly frustrating when they make such bad errors eg the AR's report regarding the penalty against Hanigan from a Wicks kickoff --- the AR stated that the reason for the penalty was because the second Wicks player wasn't contesting the ball...

Deegan had a good start to the year, but dropped the ball (figuratively and literally) in the last 3 games. He had several kicks charged down due to taking too long to get his kicks away and also dropped the ball twice in his own red zone in the QF and missed crucial tackles, again in the red...

No

None implied by me, I respect what Uni have achieved. But it would be nice to see a team other than Eastwood or Uni win this year. Of the other 3 teams left, Souths have only one once (ie as St George in 1957 before the merger with Port Hacking), The Rats got their name on the Shute Shield in...

I've posted some criticism of Bill Pulver in the past (which I don't retract), but I was impressed (a little bit) to see him sitting with the punters at Forshaw on Saturday and not seeking or expecting any special treatment.

I must admit I was amused to hear Cam Shepherd refer viewers to the NSWRU website for details about the GF during today's TV coverage. The website hasn't carried any information about anything to do with the SS except the results (eventually) for weeks.

Three games between Wicks and Souths this year and the total points difference was 10 points. When the teams are that evenly matched you really need the refs to get their decisions right. I accept they are only human and don't make anywhere near the same number of mistakes as the players, but I...

A few weird decisions from the officials in the Wicks v South QF today: (1) A report from the AR on the western sideline just before halftime saw Brogan Roods yellow carded for a nothing push and shove. There was really no need for him to even make a report. (2) The same AR in the second half...

Quick calculation of maximum annual return for the carpark: 500 cars x $30 each x 365 days = >$5m per year. I can see why the council is interested. But surely it would be less expensive to build another multistory carpark (maybe on the site of the Manly Council Chambers ;)) rather than...

Yep, I'll be doing the walk tomorrow and reckon it will only take about 20 minutes.

I've signed Dave. Please keep the G&G community updated on progress of this. The road trip (or ferry trip!) to Manly Oval is one of the highlights of the season even though I can't remember the last time we won there. Surely there must be other options available to the council.

I believe that's still the case, but there are discounts available for years of service to the same club ie: 1 point per year up to a maximum of 4 points OR 50% discount for 8 or more years service with the same club I think Carraro first came to Randwick in 2005 or 2006 from Sydney Uni, but...

Wicks selected team adds up to 76 points plus Carraro. Assuming he gets the full 50% long service discount the total will be 84 points. Might impact the reserve bench though !!!

Shouldn't be a problem for the Wicks as Robinson, Horwitz and Kellaway are all in their first year as Waratahs so they won't acquire the full Super Rugby points until next year.

Actually named after Charles Forshaw I think.

Souths is less than 30 minutes walk from Miranda train station, but I agree about the stands.
