Sorry Slash your numbers are wrong and dont know who your good authority is but they cant be that good. Your right about the leagues club though.

Just to put some perspective on the discussion, Parra runs its whole Rugby operation on a budget of around 450k per annum. I was told directly from a senior Sydney Uni person that their rugby operating budget is over 1.5 miilion per annum. Whether this comes out of taxpayers pockets or through...

When you cant say something nice better ro say nothing

Great stuff Rats, I fear a reprisal on Saturday, come on Parra the mighty Rats have proved whats possible. Great result for Rugby

Lily understand your views from a club perspective but some facts about this tour. The Rebels are not playing against Academy teams .The UK competitions are well into swing during the World Cup and the teams they are playing will be the best available without World Cup players. All three...

The Rebels tour to Europe is far from meaningless. 1. This team came last this year and needs every opportunity to continue to develop its playing and team culture. 2. Player such as Neville and Aholelei are trialing for Super rugby contracts. Im sure your club would not be as short sighted as...

Not a referee issue really. The ill discipline was the main reason for the loss

Very disapointing result for Parra on Saturday. The boys were completely dominating the match with Gordon ,leading 25-8 with 14 to go and looked like they were going to win by 30. Then thinking we have the game in the bag we make 3 replacements at once, replacing our best tackler, Boland, our...

I just dont get the constanat bagging of the Rebels pack. Their biggest problem this year was lack of penetration in the backline and the poor defence of the like of Vuna , Cipriani and Huxley , all backs. Will back the Rebels pack next year to be better than the Brumbies and maybe the Waratahs...

A few too many colourful suggestions to the referee and in particular Matt Dunning. In this match Dunning got into a punch up with one of our Kiwi forwards during which he apparently said ' Dont you know who i am" to which our Kiwi replied " yeah your that boof head that kicked that field goal "

Thommo is Peter Thompson ex Parra premiership winning player and long time Board Member who is the heart and soul of the club and last years Clubmen of the Year. And we are paticularly proud of his Match Reports, best in the business . He loves an acronym ( FTT ) failure to tackle ! Go Thommo...

Tatally agree a magnificent performance from the Vics and great justification of the Rebel Rugby program run by the VRU in cooperation with the Rebels. Are you watching ARU , maybe more than one Development Officer might be justified in Victoria.

How can you argue with this. This is the type of thinking that is ruining the game especially in Sydney. Brand names and business contacts are more important than geographic spread, junior bases and playing numbers. Tell this to the AFL as they start to dominate the sporting landscape of Western...

And something sensible includes no team in Sydney west of Camperdown and no representation for the team that is currently undefeated in the Shute Shield. Also should note that their is no representation for the three Clubs in Sydney that have the biggest junior participation, and who dominate...

Heres one for the Eastwood and western Sydney supporters in general. How about a new competition between Shute Shield and Super Rugby that is being promulgated by Sydney Uni and would be a national club comp featuring 4 teams from Sydney and guess who they would be ? Wait for it Sydney Uni...

actually basketball

Had the misfortune to be at the basketball match at Coogee. Referee Moyes should be ashamed of himself for single handily destroying the game. Parra led 40 33 with 25 minutes left. at this point after an all in brawl that followed a Randwick knock on, he somehow finds a penalty for Randwick...

Are you taping the recruitment meetings Lee

The club rugby issue could be resolved if the Shute Shield returned to what it should be an amateur competition. How anybody thinks clubs should be paying players to compete in a competition that attracts friends and relatives to the game and pays the ABC to televise is beyond me. There is an...

Adam plays for Russia with the complete blessing of the Rebels. No issue with foreign player number as the club is allowed 10 next year and currently has 6 contracted
