    Penrith Emus

    I find it extraordinary that you boast about your junior rep programme when those in the know are aware you just poached Rooty Hill and Hawkesbury clubs from Parramatta and Blue Mountains were so disgusted with Penrith that they wanted to affiliate to West Harbour in 2012. Sydney Juniors blocked...

    Shute Shield 2013

    I don't think the TMO can report Coach. But I may stand corrected on that one too. I also don't believe the actions of Plotzkys was illegal and certainly didnt warrant getting clocked like he did. It is after all, one of only 3 jobs a tighthead has to do at lineout time. I have the footage...

    Shute Shield 2013

    Having sat on both sides of the judiciary table too many times to count, I can assure you all, provocation is certainly not either an excuse or an accepted defence. Yes Plotsks was annoying Gower by attempting to stop his progress from coming through the lineout but guess what, that was...

    Oleni Ngungutau has broken the shackles of his uncle Daniel Manu and headed over Tom Ugly's Bridge to Southern Districts. 3rd club in 3 years!

    Shute Shield 2013

    It would be very close to it. No question. But the ARU clearly want the best from Brisbane playing the best from Sydney and Canberra. My personal belief is to leave the comps as they are (for the most part) but strengthen the weakest links......Penrith, Parra, Gordon etc. Then have a rep...

    Shute Shield 2013 Transfers

    I also heard today that my club, Manly, have been very active trying to recruit players from New Zealand. They are very agressive in the pursuit of a fullback, wing, centres, second rowers and props. So the questions must be: BJ Hartmann returns from injury this season. Along with Woodhouse...

    I have seen and studied the ARU Premier Rugby Review Belly is referring to. They quite clearly state in it that they feel premier rugby should be 1 grade and 1 colts sides. They clearly want a 3rd tier comp, but arent prepared to determine which clubs are in or out of it. They state that quite...

    Thoughts on Folau to rugby

    What I've highlighted above is exactly the point and one I think you're all missing. It doesn't make one skerric of difference if Folau actually plays club rugby or not. In all likelihood, I think it's a fair bet to say he won't play club at all. But really, what the hell is the point of...

    Apparently Mike Dalton and Feltscheer have gone to Parra to team up with their old Colts coach, that man again. Belly. This bloke seems to be popping up everywhere. How many fingers does he have? They all seem to be in some sort of pie somewhere else.

    think you'll find the brothers are Scott and Patrick. David (Tevita) is the dad. And he played for Norths himself. Anyone who thought his son's were not going to play for Norths themselves most likely had their head in the sand. True, Wests and Parra have provided players to other clubs. I...

    Both Alan and Michael Ala'alatoa have left West Harbour. I believe for Norths. And stay tuned for the announcement that a number of those speedy dangerous Warringah outside backs heading up the hill to Gordon.

    Shute Shield 2013

    ARU and NSWRU dont have the $$$ nor the desire to ensure the survival of the Shute Shield. Let's never forget, those two organisations are the epitomy of elitism. what they'll do though, is gou out and find 8 or 10 multi millionaire dummies to fund clubs in a new 3rd tier comp and leave the...

    I know a lot of rugby people who live in the Penrith area..............and one of them made a great quote to me yesterday when we caught up for a beer at the Vegas of The West...........he said, 'the problem with the Emu's is that the community clearly doesn't want a rugby team in Penrith'...

    Shute Shield 2013

    was told today from VERY reliable source that the ARU are going to bail out the Emu's to the tune of $200K. They have a huge tax bill that goes back to 2009 and owe all players match fees and sign ons from this year. Personally, I think this is a very risky move from the...

    Drug ban? First I've heard of that one. I like the look of Berryman at 15 for Gordon in 2011. Gamebreaker. Sadly for us, the Shute Shield lost him to Italy. He's been playing for Cavalieri Prato who up until last week, were leading the comp.
