Good on you coach. If passion is anything to go by- you will win the comp.

Chatswood oval was the scene of some spectacular play this saturday. Wicks won a scrappy fourth grade 38 - 15 . Gordon out enthused in a scrappy Third grade win 36-17. A note to the wicks coach would include 'anyone making a break should look to pass straight after'. So far Gordon had conned...

It was a good afternoon for Gordon Colts who muscelled up in defence and conned the wicks into playing loose rugby. At 12 all at the half ,Gordon were showing more passion, were playing smarter and finding holes in the wicks defence. Very quickly Gordon were ahead 25 -12 as the wicks fell...

One of the second rowers for Uni was doing alot of after the ball stuff from the start of the game. He tried it out on a few without a bite in the first half. From where I sat, It seems he got a decent bite when he got hold of Bennett. That is what seemed to start the rest of the melee. Like I...

Wicks won fourth grade 34-33 in a very entertaining match where the teams traded tries and scores all match . A great kick from the sideline for a conversion got the wick up. Third grade lost 39 - 14 with a try after the bell. Uni showing their style at the breakdown as well as disciplined...

I am hoping , as an eternal optimist, that the Wicks hold the passes.If they do this they will win as long as Uni clear territory by kicking deep but not out. Set piece Wicks will struggle. Parra over Penrith Manly over Souths Wests over Norths I love the underdog

For clarity,it is hear say, and I believe that the players that left were probably fringe first graders and not in the initial firsts squad that was chosen and they did not go to SS teams. I understood that the 'selling' of the licenced club allowed all debts to be settled.

Some Randwick players have left to play for drumoyne and others as they get paid there and not at Randwick. This from players.

The beauty of being on the sideline is that we can make comment on the selections and games without the stress. So far this year, the Wicks have performed creditably and have got better each week. If they beat Uni in all grades on saturday - Kelly was right in his selections. If not - was Kelly...

Team lists out with a few surprises. W Munroe in as eight with Johnson at 7 in the firsts. This is a very inexperienced back two for this particular match. I like Munroe and believe this will be his long term position as he has plenty of speed and skill but coming back from injury he is slightly...

Apparently Beale to number 10. Weatherall brothers not listed last week but played. Team list on Wed/Thur may have them. I imagine it will be 'All Hands' on Saturday against Uni.

Just heard that k Beale will be playing for wicks on Saturday Hope he starts in seconds as no one deserves dropping in firsts. He could then come on in firsts off the bench. Last year Mitchell played for Wicks and was worst on field that day but went on to be very good before another injury for...

I heard that First Colts, although they won, missed Norton as well as a few of their other regular backline and so made heavy weather of it. It will be interesting to see if he goes back to colts for the Uni game. Against Uni the Wicks are going to have to make less mistakes or they will be...

Another glorious day at coogee with quite a large crowd and plenty of little children running around. Word must be getting out as there are lots of faces that have not been seen for a while. A second clean sweep for the Wicks today. One hopes that this becomes habit forming. Fourths up 75-10...

Coach The half back took no steps when passing right to left but still steps when passing left to right. He is definetely on the improve and i imagine this is purely a strength consideration. He was in the thick of it at the weekend and defintely stepped up. The 'Long fellow ' is still a few...

wicks won first grade39-20 They were the better team and deserved their win which can be put down to committed defence and strong attack. Norths had the Wick measure down their left side and managed a couple of very good try's by running around the edges in the first half. The wicks steadied and...

Agree wholeheartidly with Lindomer. The ARU, NSW and SRU should be encouraging SS clubs to have 'depth' . Only way to get depth is to have plenty of players- only way to keep players is to let them play. Encourage the Colts and you may retain many of them for the main grades. No good if they go...

I am sorry to hear that wicks seem to have lost a potentially good player, and no one can blame a young sportsman from getting paid for the effort they put in and thus leaving the rugby community for fairer pastures. however, I think we ,in the rugby community, pay too much lip service to the...

G'day onliners I watched the Wicks training romp with Penrith and felt very sorry for the Penrith boys. They had a tonne of character to front up and provide some physical touches. As 'the coach' says -They need help and the ARU should be directing traffic their way if they want to have them...

I am with the coach as to who played the better rugby. Rats were predominantly up the middle when they had the ball. They were very tough but were matched by Wicks defense for most of it. They did end up with extra numbers out wide a few times but did not capitalise at the time. It was...
