Greetings all from Cardiff. got a bit of down time this afternoon, thought I'd check in and see what's happening here. The snouts are telling me that Emu's are paying their newly appointed coach $50K to coach out there. Reports also that they re-signed the kiwi flyhalf who played the last...

The Clubs paid in excess of $350K of that figure. NSWRU kicked in as well (I believe around $100K) and CRTV went and got sponsorship to cover the rest. None of the money from Intrust, Canon and others went to the Clubs or NSWRU, it all went to CRTV. NSWRU also handed over the digital content FOC...

I must confess there was no mention of two matches. But there was mention of moving it to the main 7 station. Also, the GF won it's timeslot so there's another reason Channel 7 are happy. Now if we can just get Mr Stokes to commit millions.....................

The snouts are saying that Channel 7 were very happy with the ratings on 7TWO and are considering moving all games to the main channel for live broadcast in NSW for 2016. The 10 clubs who were on tv this year would be delighted with that.

I went back to the snouts for clarification. Apparently (and I before I start, I am only getting this off the snouts, I have no knowledge if it is accurate) the team all used to be Parra juniors who are coached by John Lomax the former West Harbour coach.

Well, I've been reading all the comments about Penrith on other threads etc. Guess what? The snouts tell me that the Penrith 2nd Grade Colts side that is doing so well this year are all going en-masse to West Harbour next year.

Hopefully his resignation............................

Lots of rumours circulating that ASADA turned up at Milner yesterday looking to test 2 players from either team. Can anyone confirm?

Belly, can you confirm?

Good memory Hugh, yes I think he did play in against the yarpies. As for his finals eligibility....yes if he plays the next 6 games he should be eligible. Usually the rep player rule would be enough to get him in, but he wasn't here at the start of the year so couldn't declare Uni as his club...

Rumours TPN, Adam Coleman, Steve Mafi, Sam Wykes are all playing for Parra this weekend with limited minutes. That should fix the scrum................................

In good spirit then I've removed mine also.

If the refereeing had been more consistent for both teams last week, then Uni would've lost 2 in a row after Gordon did so well to knock them off on Friday night!

Why would this behaviour surprise anyone? The Riff have played like this for years. They have behaved like this for years. SRU or NSWRU (or both) have done NOTHING to address it. So by definition, they are in fact condoning the behaviour. If my son gets seriously injured as a result of such...

I was just speaking to another Club GM this morning on this topic. He confirmed the 8 players had been offered to his club also. He said they did not pursue it as they felt not too many of them would play 1st grade anyway. They were offered to their club by the Rams, which is interesting in...

Snouts are reporting Rod Cutler has been pinched from Parra as Assistant Coach to Fraser for 2015. And he's already jumped in the seat and is working extremely hard at bringing several of the Two Blues players with him. Do the Wicks need them?

Yep. Apparently the league guy that cut by Brad Arthur at Eels for discipline issues Jordan Tau'u will be wearing the tri colours too. Add in the 8 Penrith boys, Rodney Ma'a from Parramatta and a number of players returning to Easts from Randwick such as Kuki Mafu etc and Easts will be tough...

Not all games outrated Swans games. But on occasion the Shute Shield did. Below is a copy of the 2012 Shute Shield ratings. I can't find the 2013 and 2014 has not been published yet. The games in bold are the games that rated higher than the Swans in NSW. ABC1 RUGBY UNION...

Rubbish qwerty. It's very true. Working in the industry, I am privy to those ratings. I'll fish them out (but will take a while to get them) when I have access on Monday.

Yes the ABC flicked the SS. And that decision is a disgraceful decision made by the ABC and NOT Abbott and his band of merrymen. To disappoint @couldabeen for a bit, I will speak politics, but only briefly. After being a lifetime Labor Party voter, I have not voted for them since Keating's...
