Hoping our Colts can get some good victories and our young grade sides can be competitive - small steps.

I would like to think so considering all four clubs that invested in it are on the North side.

Pretty much the best options of what's available from the clubs in my opinion. Pity Gordon won't have much involvement this season :(. Unless a development team is fairly young (hopefully).

THE experienced Damien Cummins will head up the re-badged Sydney Rays coaching team for the 2016 National Rugby Championship season. Cummins (Manly Marlins) will work with Simon Cron (Northern Suburbs) and Julian Huxley (Warringah Rats) in what is sure to be a vibrant and thoughtful coaching...

Gordon kicked a goal after the siren to beat Eastwood 37 - 36 in 1st grade colts. Eastwood convincingly won 2nd grade colts I believe.

^ Would support the Gordon Highlanders I assume and our two Scots in the higher grades Ruairidh Wilson and Nick Fraser (just returned back from a contract in Italy)?

Yes good point re Lousi would make that side very formidable.

Yep that was what was reported.

Forgot about Lucas yes he would most probably be 9. Hopefully Jones re joins the Rays. Going to be hard for Bergelin & Kotoni to get a starting gig I think Ward is more likely to get a gig if Palu didn't play which is always a massive chance. Although the back row could be shuffled to have...

Wouldn't be a bad fit in my opinion.

Potential Rays side with the addition of Souths players... 1. O'Connor (Warringah) 2. Hilterbrand (Manly) or Holmes (Warringah) 3. Ta'avao (Norths) or Chubb (Souths) 4. Hall (Manly) 5. Tufui (Souths) 6. Holloway (Souths) 7. Dempsey (Gordon) - Could add Doyle (Souths) to this backrow if Palu...

Will Miller has also been playing for Country although not for Norths recently and has been pretty outstanding the last few NRC's.

Gordon have backed there Colts progression to be competitive a tad too early. Hopefully lessons learnt from this year and continued progression of a strong Colts system prove fruitful sooner rather than later. Feel like a lower grade resurgence will come first though as always with these...

Who was Gordon's best sorry couldn't make today's game. Well done on the win Randwick starting to see the benefits of the top Colts coming through.

To put this into context so would a lot of blokes who change clubs but yes I agree Gordon will face an uphill battle this season the whole grade club has been infiltrated with 20 yo's coming up from Colts. Kids still learning the game.

Like who? Our forward pack is nothing flash but competent at the moment in my opinion. Bit worried about the size of our backline though.

Pretty sure this doesn't include all Gordon's points.

I think I was referring more to the fact that to be perfectly honest if Australia wanted to put a better side out on the field they would have more players produced from those and surrounding areas than Melbourne & Perth combined. Obviously there are other issues such as growth of the game etc...

Could have had more games in Western Sydney and the Gold Coast could have also played games at different times if worried about time zones.

I think we need to understand you make the heartland of the code strong before you expand at present the heartland is struggling. Why are we supporting Melbourne and Perth? We may as well have second sides in NSW and QLD to save relocating players the hassle. Grow from the grassroots.
