Will Vili Fainga'a finally get a super rugby contract this year? I am guessing he is still playing for Uni? Played agaisnt him a few times...one of the hardest hitting mofos I have ever played.

Id like to see 4 teams from Syd/4 from Qld and 2 from ACT - there is no point starting a comp where we have "rep" sides i.e 2 nsw, 1 act, 2 qld etc - one it makes it way to hard to totally start from scratch and they already tried that and it died in the ass (even though I somewhat think the...

Anyway lets focus on the great John I Dent season ahead.... Should start to get some reports in on how numbers have been as yesterday should of really been the official start to Pre-Season.

Could not agree more mate - I have said for a number of years that its like Aus rugby never really fully went into the professional era - they have always relied on naturally talented players but it comes a point where natural talent can only take a player so far and there needs to be...

Your answer does not really surprise me and pretty much what I thought - which it very sad to hear as there is a number of fantastic players that play in Canberra, that have grown up in Canberra and dont want to move to be seen...I know a player should always do what needs to be done to be seen...

Hey Glen (I seem to be replying to all your posts LOL) Question - How much do the coaches from the Shute Shield look at players from the John I Dent Cup? and to a further degree and you may not know this...the coaches from the Super Rugby? Always been interested in how much coaches from...

With the inclusion of the Grammar players Easts could really see a rise over the next 2-3 years...Eddies arnt anywhere near the powerhouse they used to be so Vikings/Qbn wont have a great selection from here, Marist are always somewhat strong so Royals/Vikings will still have a good pick - but...

Hey mate did Soseni come to Para in the hope of maybe picking up a Super Rugby contract with an Aus side? or is he just in a point in his career where he is happy playing club rugby?

At the end of the day the ARU need to pump more money into the development of the Shute Shield and support teams when they are struggling...who wants to go to games when you know your team will get beaten - teams like Penrith need to be in the comp but they also need some support and so do all...

Wont make a difference to rugby in Aus and honestly I think it could hurt Super Rugby and weaken it - I do agree maybe 1-2 teams from Arg could join the comp considering they are in the Rugby Championship now - but America and Pacific islands? No way - 1. Most Pacific inlander players who could...

Just saw a post from Penrith on FB about negative comments from other clubs etc...wonder what happened there?

Sonny Bill Williams, Ma'a Nonu, Dan Carter

Why arnt more young players lured to Penrith - the chances for them to play 1st grade are greatly increased...the players would get great exposure to 1st grade and super rugby teams (watching) and also strengthen the Penrith side and the development and futre....I know if I was a young player...

Russel Ingram will be Royals full-time 1st grade coach this year with Craig moving on. I think you'll find alot of the Grammar 1st XV players will spread between the teams more-so than them all going to the same team - considering their success last year there will be more interested to getting...

From what I have seen of Glen (Christini) I am a big fan - what he did with Qbn and Vikings in Canberra was fantastic and then taking Para pretty much from the dead into the finals of the shute shield is fantastic - and honestly would like to see him at a higher level of rugby within one of the...

I know they have got a few new guys from South Africa, one from NZ and I think maybe one from qld - also you prob have the John I Dent fringe players EPS players there.

That will be good for Royals - I have heard they have acouple new forwards...

See what happens this year - I think Vikings will be very strong again, Easts could get off the bottom of the ladder and I think qbn could be in better form this year...

That would def make players to stay as that would be more than alot would earn working a fulltime 9-5 job.... only prob is what happens in the off-season...set up with a job?

If I was playing 1st grade in the SS and was a top performer week in and week out - but for some reason could not get a super contract I would be over-seas straight away. I have no idea what some players are paid but I cant see any SS players being paid full-time to play - i.e...
