Ole two blue might be better placed to answer that but he's done some stuff with the Tahs per season but no contract. The Rebels like him but no contract. Maybe he needs another good year to really get noticed.

Parramatta held its awards last night. Colts best and fairest Josh Whale Colts player of the year Nathan Oliver Grade rookie of the year Nick Blacklock Grade Best and Fairest Iese Leota Grade most improved Ryan Aniseko Grade Player of the year Tom Woods See you in 2013

It's the ridiculous ranking system that was introduced post the start of the season and bludgeoned through the club Presidents and GMs. My understanding is there were three band ones, three band 3 and the rest band two. Everyone except the band ones got less money than last year. It was nothing...

Sounds sensible but unlikely to work because of the 4 grade structure. Do you base the relegation on Shute Shield or Club Championships? Does the second division receive participation grants? What happens to Colts? Wouldn't it be better to set some specific citeria that must be met, along with...

Like I said, look to Parra reclaiming it's nurseries in the future.

We'll see...

We'll see.

Hugh, I think most people agree with us. Who is going to stand up and make it happen? The strategic review, if it delivers what I'm hoping it does, must be grabbed by someone and driven through, like the Magna Carta. I reckon Nick Farr Jones might be the man. Just a thought...

Parra colts is headed up by Steve Tuckwell, with support from several other well qualified coaches. Colts is a major focus for the club in 2013, Christini is adamant that developing the huge junior potential is the future of the club. After years of neglect, look for Parra to reclaim some of its...

Hence the need for a total clean out of the rugby heirachy, establishment of a central controlling commission and investment in the game at all levels. In NSW alone, 6 bodies, plus 5 schools associations, administer the sport. Totally ludicrous and hopelessly outdated structure. Change is needed...

Whatever, whether its a beefed up Shute Shield and Brisbane Premier comp or an ITM Cup style comp as has been suggested here, the ARU has to get serious about funding the "third tier". The current participation grant and performance bonus is pathetic and totally inadequate. Rugby MUST adopt an...

Serious yes. Cashed up speakers of Spanish, no. The only front rower coming from Argentina to Parramatta is Tatafu, next Wednesday.

Parramatta's is on the 12th October

Just to clarify, Parra isn't merged with or an entity of Merrylands RSL, they are just extremely supportive sponsors. The old Two Blues licensed club was absorbed by Parramatta Leagues and later the Football Club was cut loose and is an independant entity.

All news to me boys but if it's true I'd love to know where we are getting the money from.

Agree. Maybe guarantor on rental or loaning bond but no cash or in kind inducements.

Jeez Tahboy, you and I seem to agree again! I think paying Colts in any shape, way or form is reprehensible. It sends completely the wrong message and creates the wrong values in a young impressionable mind. Clubs who have to pay Colts to play for them lack soul and club spirit and are clearly...

I agree with Tahboy for once, Rob Horne played junior reps for SD's

Really? Not 'petrol money' or an e-tag for tolls?

Luxury? 1 Team? Tahboy, even for you that's rubbish.
