It's only 2 weeks ago we heard the annual bleating about the SS games being televised.Now ,incredibly , some people are whinging again. It was pointed out in earlier posts that the schedule of games to be televised was released prior to the first round. The schedule allows all the teams to...

What do you want,names? Maybe the people who thought Parramatta had recruited well in the off season particularly in the back line , & maybe the people who thought that the alleged disharmony at Manly following the change of coaches would affect that club thought that. No shortages in the Rugby...

These sorts of comments come up every year. I would have thought that regular followers of the Shute Shield would be aware that the early seasons televised programme is announced before the first round. Subsequent games to be televised are chosen on team standings.In pre season discussions...

Back in black?

That's only first grade.

Northern Suburbs have also published their club history, & Parramatta produced a history of their club on A4 paper, without cover , some years(? ) ago. Men in Scarlet , the history of former first grade club, Drummoyne , also has an account dating back to 1829.

And hopefully no cancellations due to les Nono.

There's been a certain degree of predictability about S.S. results in recent years , however , how many picked Norths to win last year? In predicting this years play off's it helps to know the player movements that have occurred since last season, because some clubs have seemingly lost...

L.O..... Uni looked sharper than Penrith & Wests when in possession. In saying that, Penrith put in a good first half,& were able to make inroads early ,but gave the impression that they tired as the afternoon wore on, probably due to lack of fitness, & also because they appeared...

Uni did look well conditioned, but it should be remembered that both Penrith (?) & Wests were having their first hit out for the year, unlike Uni who have already had previous games .

I don't know the answer to your questions, but what should be asked is ,can the SRU do a significantly better job than they are currently doing ,to minimise/stop the effects of this cancer that is contributing to the slow death of club Rugby in Sydney?

I can't understand how such a pessimistic view could possibly arise.

"Growing the grass" is much easier when talent is evenly spread .How many boys are in teams which are , effectively ,regarded as being there to make up the numbers in their competition, or at best being there to be vaguely competitive, feel that they have a strong chance of real success at the...

Logically then you should "carve out" several different competition tables, taking into account who plays whom.

Training restarts tomorrow so we should wait & see if there has been any improvement.Don't wish to name names but my information was that in the Nov/Dec period ,my comments applied to most clubs.

Several clubs reporting lower than usual numbers at pre season training.

I agree with much of what you have to say,but not necessarily all. I refer back to my previous post #272. For those who believe that the SS competition is at it's strongest for many years,I suggest that what we have seen in 2016 is in effect,simply a shuffling of the usual positions occupied by...

Who should be thankful? Would you be thankful if Uni. for example , took players from your colts teams to play for their colts side?

. In particular, other clubs colts, although in my original post ,I was not referring to Manly .
