I hope it works and the players get some good footy I know there has been a lot of interest by players and parents at Souths

I spoke to an official at souths and was told at least 8 clubs are running an 18s team plus the other 3 colts teams and if a club cannot field an 18s team then a village club can take that clubs position in the 18s Maybe Belly can give his understanding on the 18s comp.

I have been told the 1st draft of the draw comes out tomorrow.

Some great points of argument and rivetting reading. With brad and Angelina in town its a pity we cannot send them this and EOYT thread as i am sure they could make a great movie out of it and Brad has experience from Moneyball. It would have to be billed as a fictional story as no one would...

48k is a lot of money but lets put that into perspective. I reckon i earn roughly 10% that KB (Kurtley Beale) earns yearly and if i got a $4800 fine i would be shattered. By the time i pay my morgage and living expenses per year i dont have $4800 left over so i would have to go without some nicesties during...

It hasnt been finalized and i can see there being some major dramas. With cricket still in full swing the rugby grounds with cricket pitches will be unavailable so the fields without cricket pitches will be used. These clubs wont be too happy to have a stack of early home games when patrons...

Any news on whether the ABC is going to televise next year? Without this it then makes it even more difficult to get sponsors involved. Even less money for clubs.

Dont the odd 1st colts age player play higher grade rugby The colts games i saw last year were very good games. Not sure the odd player out of the 18s is going to weaken the comp too much. Lets see how it goes then judge it.

I think the 18s will be a good comp, going from what i have heard the souths management are very excited about there 18s and have put a number of the players into there Colts Academy and believe they have enough talent in there older age squad that they dont have to play anyone up unless they...

Would it be an idea to have say 2 midweek games against top end clubs to give reserve players a game and see how possible combinations work. I wouldn't have one every week but after every 2nd saturday game?

Isreal filou, sydney uni developed his rugby skills!

Thats fair enough.

Need Di Patterson to tell cheika to change his top.

Thats what i am struggling with, if the ARU is broke why send extra players when not needed. How much will Beales holiday cost plus i saw Ben Whittaker in the coaches box at Cardiff Arms. Why would he be there? Keeping an eye on everyone? How much is that costing.

About 3 years ago all sydney clubs had to do an audit on there rugby operations and costs and each club was given a band on the results and clubs were then allocated funding on these bands. I would imagine most Sydney clubs are in training and running academies for colts and juniors. How many...

It was the ARU/ NSWRU that wanted clubs to have a fulltime staff member so there was good communication between all parties.

Where do the juniors go if there are no seniors? League My understanding of the ARU funding was that clubs could then employ a head coach or a fulltime GM. Over the years as the funding was cut clubs started cutting the head coach or GM to part time roles or only employing them for X amount of...

Still unemployed and would be still employeed if Beale didnt do what HE did.

4 people lost there jobs because of Beale's actions. 1 is supposedly highly stressed with suicide thoughts 1 has his reputation severly damaged and Beale is of too Europe to play test match footy and pick up 10k a game and if he doesnt play footy gets a paid vacation 1st class. Not sure if...

I had heard they were talking to Ned but heard he was joining Easts with a number of mates who went to Stannies.
