That sounds OK Sam. One parent is fine. Just had visions of kids being expected to be dropped off at a certain time and picked up at a certain time. The other parent might have to buy a pair of binoculars & watch from the car park.

Under the new Government restrictions are parents allowed into the grounds to accompany kids playing junior sport? Just thinking about Siru juniors starting up soon.

No problem with punters drinking cold beers tomorrow Sam. Unfortunately it won’t be on the hill watching their teams run round. It could be an unenviable job on the gate for home club volunteers deciding who is essential to the visiting teams & who isn’t. What happens at an open ground like...

Didn’t offend me at all Athol. Enjoy reading your comments. Wagga has 3 of the 4 teams in this season’s 1st grade competition. The Wagga teams are obviously going to travel a lot less than the Bulls. You should reconsider about contributing to the forum Athol. People with differences of opinion...

C’mon Mauler that’s a bit unfair. A lot of positive points are made on this forum. I think Athol is off the mark with his post. It is a home & away competition & that’s what the Bulls have got. 5 away & 4 home. Athol’s biggest mistake was using the term Siru irregularities & a certain club in...

I think the main reason Griffith may have pulled out might have been that a lot of Blacks players work at Baiadas chicken farms or the wineries. If Casellas or Baiadas had to close down operations for a week or so because of a covid worker it would be a big deal. I don’t remember any keyboard...

Group 20 pulled the pin last night. Seniors & Juniors. Have heard that Cutters haven’t officially withdrawn. I wonder if they might have an influx of Hay Magpie league players & re think their situation?

Griffith have withdrawn from this year’s comp.

It might be better at this stage of the year/season that Siru make a call. It’s obvious they are in an unenviable situation but clubs need to know more about the big picture.

At this stage only junior sport has the OK to re commence. We have a long way to go. Things are evolving pretty quickly but they’ll need to if footy is to happen this year.

You would presume that wouldn’t you Athol. But pretty sure we’ll be getting our directives through Brumbies. Siru juniors run through territory where the seniors are part of the Waratahs set up. So if I’m correct some senior clubs like Temora, Cootamundra & Grenfell will be following directions...

Brumbies Athol. I saw on Facebook where Aggies are looking forward to beginning training in early June, so that’s a good sign.

Have heard Hay have already pulled the pin this year & Tumut & Aggies may struggle to field teams. Apparently conditions required for the comp to go ahead are pretty severe. How many other clubs may have second thoughts?

Maybe something like this Athol. No spectators. Home team security at gate. Each pair of teams has use of ground for 2 hours. Come to ground dressed to play. Don’t use change rooms. Warm up, play then after game recovery. Leave ground. Next team. Repeat. 10:00 Reserves. 12:00 Women’s. 2:00 First...

From what I can gather Group 20 won’t run a Reserve Grade comp. Players will be encouraged to come to the ground in their gear. Each use of change rooms will be followed by sanitisation before another team can use it. If getting changed in change rooms players must be 1.5m apart. After games...

Hi Mauler. God forbid we’re relying on the ARU. Can’t believe Siru Board couldn’t have predicted global pandemic. Surely one was just about due. Let’s say we start comp on July 18 & begin training on July 1. One round then finals per program.

Surely the communications that everyone is waiting on Athol are the actual decisions that have been made by the Siru Board. With clubs attempting to re organise themselves they would be looking to the Siru Board for guidance. I know we are in unprecedented times but it’s being said that Central...

Thanks Athol. That explains the rego fee situation. I wasn’t aware of all that. $250 - $400. That’s a fair bit of cash, especially in the current circumstances we’re living in. I don’t have any more idea than anyone else about what might happen re starting Siru comp. Haven’t even heard anything...

What’s the breakdown of money coming out of fees. I mean Athol when a player (junior/senior, his/her) pays fees in the local Siru comp how much goes to the Brumbies. How much goes to RA. How much goes to paying Raeleen’s 800K or the wages of the 150 working out of head office. Izzy’s money...

Well then why is the internal kiwi competition so much better than ours Bubba? Why are we as a national team/squad regularly paying big money to coax rugby league players over to rugby union? I know both the NRL & the AFL have their own difficulties now because of the Coronavirus but they were...
