    Shute Shield 2012

    Hang in there OTB. You guys are actually one of the more financially stable clubs in the comp. Easts had an income of $1million and an expenditure of $1.3million. So that's a $300K loss. Warringah apparently had a loss Randwick were rumoured to have had a $500K loss. Gordon's loss was...

    Sydney Shake Up

    True. But if there were restrictions on player movement........like there used to be (I am proudly an old dinosaur) then this would be addressed. It is interesting that the grade clubs have been referred to as District clubs in this thread by more than a few. Does anyone think the old District...

    Sydney Shake Up

    Now you're talking.............. And just play 11 full rounds and top 4 in Shute Shield for finals. Once that is decided, the top 4 go off and play in a 10 team comp featuring 4 from Sydney, 4 from Brisbane 1 from Canberra and a wild card play off between the top Melb club and the 5th placed...

    Sydney Shake Up

    I am absolutely astonished. There are some very intelligent people who contribute to this site. And contribute in positive ways......for the most part. But for the life of me, I simply cannot understand why you all think Subbies clubs are 'feeder' clubs to the Grade Clubs. They may well have...

    Sydney Colts 2012

    Tahboy, is it glass half full or half empty? You seem to be favouring kicking Parramatta and Penrith while they're down. I must admit, I am sympathetic to their plight and I do see both clubs being strong as vital to the strength of the competition. I dont believe anyone, or certainly hardly...

    I absolutely love the comment highlighted above Coach......... Manipulation, interesting choice of words. Here's some facts that you may not be aware of. The ARU asked the SRU to shorten the season. The top 6/bottom 6 structure that is in place for 2012, was in fact, a Randwick proposal...

    I've worked with Cheika before.......and I am sorry to say, he is not the answer the Tahs are looking for. There are a number of personality traits that will just not endear him to the players, sponsors or supporters. In any case, I dont think the Tahs could afford him. Let's remember, he asked...

    Shute Shield 2012

    I just googled that name and found a Gerrard Fasavalu. Seems when Mils Muliana was made AB's captain he did an interview where he gives Fasavalu a big wrap......scroll to bottom http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/2477943/Q-and-A-with-the-new-All-Blacks-captain

    Ryan09, you misunderstood me brother. The intent of my comment was one of curiosity. I was merely trying to find the reason why Collins would go there. I noticed you have made some comments to the contrary of who it is......however, I have to say, the mail is that it is in fact Jerry. I am also...

    And right there is the fundamental problem within all levels of Australian Rugby IMO.

    heard a rumour today Jerry Collins has been released from his club commitments in Japan and trained tonight with the Two Blues. I really hope that's true..........but why the hell would he go to them?

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2012

    Seems to me not too many people bothered to look at the Victorian scrum. The 3 is sensational. He has tremendous shape at scrum time, is very strong, is not the typical passive Australian 3 as he attacks on engagement. He is a big unit, who gets around the field really well as has I high...

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2012

    I usually dont comment on schoolboy stuff because well...................it's schoolboys. I prefer the real stuff. However, I ventured out to watch all games on wednesday and the last 3 games on the main deck on thursday. At this stage I wont make negative comments on players as they are after...

    Waratahs V Brumbies @ Homebush

    Just on the Hart selection.................must admit I just didn't see that one coming. Begs the question, what has Pretorious done wrong? They signed this bloke as their international player for 2 years.......bet they pay him out to get rid of him. Reminds me of that ludicrous decision made by...

    Shute Shield 2012

    My understanding was that the sides were supposed to be selected from the best available 'un-signed' Shute Shield players. NSW Country asked the Sydney clubs to nominate players of Country Origin. Additionally, Sydney Rugby asked clubs to nominate eligible players also. I have no issues with...

    Shute Shield 2012

    Started early to mid 90's when they offered free scholarships to Jim Williams and Mark Catchpole and grew from there. Back in the middle ages when I was playing......we were pumping their 3rd grade side by about 40 at half time. Their captain came over to our huddle and asked if we could stop...

    I love a good Uni bash as much as the next person......but I'd actually like to bring the conversation back to the actual Sydney v Country game itself........and people, let's lay off Bruce.If you have an issue with Uni, keep it as Uni and not a personal crack at a great contributor to this...

    Penrith Emus

    did they develop the squads themselves or did they convince a couple of clubs from a neighbouring district to change affiliation? Does that fix the problem, or does it just move it?
