I wonder what is the chance of the Brums province team getting a game as a curtain raiser to a NRC game ?

I agree with what you say , but , you have to start somewhere and this point seems to be the best that the ARU have come up with. There seems to be a fair bit of appeasement handed out to the Shute shield crowd but we knew that was probably going to happen. The next step that I would like to see...

Gee... Don't tell Temora that what they played in at the end of last years season wasn't a fair dinkum grand final that was played within the by laws and guidelines set down by the SIRU clubs and board. I made a mistake many years ago ,when SIRU reintroduced McMullen Cup , to suggest that having...

An absolute gem. Very well done.

As much as I said that this was the wrong thread..... A number of seasons ago (approx. 7) SIRU was given an opportunity to play in a 5 weeks preseason comp of the John I Dent competition. They played 1's and colts. This comp started about 3 weeks before SIRU's and finished after 3 weeks into the...

@ #8. Hard to tell. We see players constantly go between Rugby and league and so far as I am aware it has been going on since 1982 in this competition. I suppose it could be justified with player payments or the disintegration of a team and the good old chestnut of "no pathways and we can't get...

I think we have gone off the Monaro thread too far...

I will agree with you that there is genuine talent within the zones scattered throughout the scrub , but, unless players are absolutely committed to training 2/3 times per week starting in December and trial games starting February they will find it extremely difficult to have the fitness level...

This cross over system has some merit. SIRU tried this concept for 2 years back in the days when they ran a North & South conference system. They would play 2 crossover games per season. One was scheduled early in the seasons draw the other was late in the draw. They used both systems. First...

The most common approach is to organize employement and accommodation within the club. Some clubs can manage this easier than others because of there location to employment sources.

The hardest thing for the Owls U20's is how many of their U20's players will be used in their 1s & 2s. If they don't use any then they may surprise some of the more fancied shows in Colts. Not every body who comes to town and has previously worn their states colours as 16's 17's & 18's wants to...

My involvement with rugby started in 1977 and so far as I am aware of ,other than the early 2000's ,the ARU has struggled for funding. They have never been friendly to grass roots. Since Rugby has gone down the path of professionalism their funding has been stretched to the limits and they have...

2 of the 3 you mentioned plus another 2 will most likely be running around in JID cup next season.

Watched the Provincial team (SIRU,Far Sth Coast & Monaro) go around against the Services team @ Duntroon on Sunday. They played well. A few guys a bit short of a run but that was quite excusable when you consider the GF was first weekend in September. There was nobody out there who shouldn't...

The answer is simple. Just have a few days off...then...start training again. You are never too old to have some sort of involvement as a player or official. Keep going fellas. The game wouldn't be the same without "tragics" like us regardless of our colours or type of participation. Good banter...

Should be a great day. All teams deserve their spots on the day. For those who can remember back to 1988 they will remember that ANYTHING may and can happen. Good luck to all.

It is now the best time of the rugby year. Tell your teams to presume absolutely NOTHING. It is now finals time so anything may and will happen and time for all the "April Premiers" to stop the talk and walk the walk. All the soothsayers & prophets are talking rain for Saturday so that will make...

Very interesting game at CRP between Ag & Tah's. Well reffed by Delge. Both sides looked nervous in attack for the whole game but when they got it right they were both very good. Any mistake was punished by the other team very quickly. Looked very much like one of those "arm wrestle semifinals"...

Yep.... 789 to 112 for +677. Off the top of my head I am not sure if this is the highest as I think a Griffith team may hold the record. I will have to go see Mick to find out for sure....

I think Bubba we have a situation where we have one very good team that makes very few actual errors. We have seen this before when teams spend extended time/seasons together. These teams end up getting into a situation where only injuries and dead set bad luck can rob them of the...
