Hey @Richrugby89, I've been doing a bit of research on this and the club's decided to play ANZAC day in order to have a bye for country week at Bowral. Might be worth having a yarn to your President about this decision...

#SIRU2015 Round Two Preview: Morning all. First up, my apologies for not getting a season preview or Round One preview up, I don’t have the time that I used to at the moment!! Secondly, I’m not tipping a Match of the Round this week as I think there are three games that have the potential to...

#SIRU2015 Rep Squad announced: SIRU Rep Coach Richard Turnbull has selected the below squad from a total of 71 players who made themselves available for the 2015 Rep Program and it looks like a pretty sharp team, particularly in the backs. There are plenty of options amongst the inside backs...

Also Hugh McAlister and Tim Davidson, but surely the Yabbies most well known junior is Tom Carter...

Ha Ha, I see what you did there... Seth Stoltenberg is a Yabbies Junior and is one example of the solid junior pathway that the Yabbies have put a lot of effort into.

I know there is no offside line at the tackle, but ultimately the gate is all about offside, it's purpose is to define entry and incorrect entry is essentially offside. I agree that the tackle is general play, however the whole premise of the player standing at the halfback goes against every...

I reckon it's possible to argue that there is an offside line at the tackle (even though the lawbook states otherwise), regardless of whether there is a ruck/maul formed. If there is a gate, there are entry points and therefore there are offside lines. We don't allow players (other than the...

Welcome to the forum Oranges, the home games will likely be split between Griffith and Hay. Not sure exactly what that will look like though.

The SIRU Board have always done their best to create a competition for all comers. I agree that the current situation at Griffith is not ideal, but what should the board have done? Made them play 1st and 2nds? How? Remember that they originally nominated 1st, 2nd, 3rds and Under 17's and then...

Keep your pants on you two, there's plenty of space for all of us on here. Take a breath, have a lie down and relax. My understanding is that Griffith had some safety concerns about their younger players playing second grade and chose to nominate 1st and 3rd Grade for this reason - to allow...

My gut feeling tells me the contenders for the Top 6 will likely include (in no particular order) Waratahs, Ag College, Leeton, Albury, Young, City, CSU and Tumut. Griffith have only nominated 1st and 3rd Grades which indicates some issues out there, Temora losing the Fijian influence will take...

I think some clubs were affected by their 2014 season which caused some issues for them into the 2015 season. Hay are playing as Griffith's 2nd Grade team. Temora are 1st Grade only and Junee are playing as Cootamundra's 3rds. Also, no under 17's in 2015 which is a real shame. I think it...

The mail I hear to date is that the Leeton Blacks Phantoms will be the big improvers, Ag College seem to have recruited well and have some good numbers at the club, Waratahs seem to be status quo from 2014, Albury lose a few old heads, Young are building and Wagga City's star recruit is injured...

Not sure TBH HJ. I know of one player from CSU - Wagga who played for Australian Universities and then vanished into thin air but this was a while ago now. It is possible that CSU were made aware of the tournament but chose not to attend, there might be some value in a combined CSU (CSU-W...

Tough game to tip TBH. Brumbies biggest test will be playing out the full 80mins. They're playing a fast paced brand of rugby at the moment but need to be able to string that together for the whole match. Tahs need to be consistent and use their big boppers wisely. My gut says Brumbies by 6.

Won by Leeton, haven't heard anything other than that. Not much to report for pre-season to be honest. Tumut are hosting Wagga City and Royals this weekend at Jarrah Park. Does anyone else have any mail on pre-season matches? I hear that the SIRU Knockout may be on the backburner?

Maybe next year. I would suggest that Monaro would be pretty close to finalising their draw and numbers, SIRU 3rd Grade is arguably their best option.

The way I see it, they don't have many options really. The competition kicks off in less than a month, these sort of requests need to come through the AGM and Council Meeting to allow clubs to consider what impact it will have on their club. What would the Railway Hotel in Temora say about the...
