My understanding is Potgieter is returning to Saffaland straight after S15 ends. I suspect the jersey was a spare.

No he was critical that we had failed to engage the support of former players and was expecting to see 4 or 5 tables of blokes from the 80's and 90's. As I previously said, we have tried very hard to get those blokes to take an interest but they seem to not care anymore.

Any idea how much? Or is it a value add for their sleeve sponsorship of the Tahs?

I actually thought NFJ was a bit ignorant/arrogant in relation to his comments about former players not being present. We have tried reaching out to those guys, especially the 85/86 teams on many occasions over the past 4 years, but they don't seem interested. The club has changed...

Parra and Manly had a solid hitout on Saturday with plenty of players in all 3 grades. Both sides had players out and mixed and matched their squads and the results were pretty even. A good season ahead for both clubs in Colts.

It's quite ridiculous. Parramatta started from scratch last year with mostly local juniors totalling less than 13 points in First Grade Colts most weeks. They performed well enough in making the semis. Parra have retained nearly all of that side and as a result will go very close to blowing the...

Parra has had 2 trials and had big numbers and good performances against Southern Country and Easts.

Anyone know why when I reply to a comment, the original comment no longer appears in the yellow box?

Is your mail on the shelving of the NRC reliable Beastie?

Parramatta was in a similar position 3 years ago. Our year 1 strategy was to make First Grade competitive, thereby regaining credibility in the club amongst our local juniors. Last year we went from barely 1 grade of Colts to 3 and making the semis in all three. It helped to get almost all of...

No guarantees the NRC will actually get off the ground this year, nonetheless if it does, a national under 20's introduced the following year would be a good idea.

Just confirmed the Parra 3, Ash Goddard, Aaron Blacklock and Luke Casey all required for training today. I believe a final cut will be made Monday but not confirmed on that.

First cut was advised this morning. Any names?

Good to see Maile Latukefu back at the Two Blues. Maile was one of the best loose forwards in the Shute Shield in 2011 and 2012 but got ruined by inept injury management in the 'Tahs Academy where it took 9 months to repair a grade 1 hammy tear. He's lost some size but is looking fit. Hopefully...

Good to see Rodzilla Ma'a and Maile Latukefu back. Maile was one of the best loose forwards in the Shute Shield in 2012 but got ruined by inept injury management in the 'Tahs Academy. He's lost some size but is looking fit.

If any gaggers would like to check out the Under 20's, they are playing a trial V Country tomorrow at 11am at Moore Park. With over 60 in the squad lets hope they all get a fair crack.

[quote="Hugh Jarse, post: How are the numbers looking elsewhere? Will the Mighty 2 Blues keep last years energy and momentum going with a full player roster in 2014? I hope so. There appears to be some pleasing reports coming out of Parra Very strong Parra Colts numbers. Only about 5 of...

I agree with the NRC as a concept, it has worked exceptionally well in NZ and SA, I just think it has been rammed through without considering the points you make Done That. Many clubs have survived, or in our case come back from the dead, on the back of hard working volunteers. Our funding has...

Impressive get if Jim is appointed. Standby for an appointment of similar significance at the Two Blues.
