Thanks Bruce - there I was enjoying a brew of weasel coffee, watching a replay of Leinster giving Treviso a touch up, and you had to plant the vision of a Messerschmitt up one's arse (could be about time to watch Top Gun again). I will now enjoy a period of time removing said brew of weasel...

Any word on Turner?

My guess is there will shortly be a mountain of video capturing these moments with appropriate action. Racism, bad sportsmanship, and biased refereeing need to be wiped out.

Yep - spot on - the rang-ers (one for the There Their thread) cop a hiding.

Interesting observations given the considerable Polynesian community involved in northern beaches junior rugby - could have understood more easily if it was Mid North Shore clubs - anyway a very unfortunate state of affairs.

Subbies have a division structure, in which they are 1st div - Shute Shield is "grade" or SRU Premiership - a bit like English football where the top tier is Premier League etc. All a bit silly and confusing to those not in the know :-)

Bottom line is numbers - Canberra has a small population - last year's U18 comp had 21 teams - ie less than Joeys and Shore combined. Anglo parents choose AFL, hockey or football for their boys rather than rugby against man children, denuding the likelihood of a late grower emerging. For...

Bruce was kind of close with "who are" for pinyin hua - possibly "hugh wah" pronounced Australian style (ie quickly like the shortening of good day) might be aceptable but you will find many regional variations.

Drainage system? Sure it wasn't top notch but drained a hell of a lot better that most other ovals in the area. It was the best rugby field in the district IMO, good grass coverage, full size (huge), and open most weekends. We tried to get flood lights there 8-10 years ago but usual...

Is all of Koola out of action - that would translate to something like 600-800 games of rugby and football being scheduled elsewhere. Lindfield Oval will be turned to concrete if any wet weather early in season :-(

That's the price you pay for living in very solid liberal electorates, having a massive baby boom in the 90's, and building medium density up the highway.

Does UC have a rugby club?

Elsom to be named captain today according to SMH!

Sorry - he also needs to be a jumper

Re nicknames - do any of the players moonlight as referees? If so they could be Mr Orange (ie undercover cop).

I guess this includes the players who are promised XYZ - hopefully their managers are doing their job and collecting payment on match day, and annual fees on a scheduled basis. Seen an NRL club burnt by sponsors not delivering. Regular payments would be good for the club because they will...

In fairness to Briggs I thought Dundas' demise was a whole of club effort on the red card front?

Isn't that why God invented girlfriends?

I am somewhat bemused by the concept of subbies becoming semi-professional - good luck to the sponsors!
