Further cut backs in ARU grants to the clubs for next year.

I agree that Joe Barakat's return is a positive step for the West Harbour club. He did coach Wests for 5 years previously with some success,a significant time compared to most Shute Shield coaches, so I don't think that he could be seen as part of a "revolving door" process. Coaches, like...

Faleali'i (Rams halfback) to Randwick?

Latest meeting decided comp. stays as is.

The current situation is that the colts competition for 2015,will remain as is, i.e.no under 18 team.

It's not clear to me what proposal you are calling dumb. I am not suggesting an under 18's team replace the existing 3rd grade colts team.Nor am I supporting the introduction of an U18 team in addition to the existing grades. What I am saying is that introducing an under 18's team in addition to...

^ My source is the conversations I have had with several officials from different clubs,who in turn tell me of their own conversations with others. They are all in accord in their opposition. The reality is that there are a number of under 18 boys & younger, already playing in the colts...

As most/all SS clubs are opposed to an under 18 colts competition in place of the usual 3rd grade comp.,I suggest that the u18 comp. proposed is not a "fait accompli".

Here's your chance to clean up. I'm told he's happy at West Harbour.

Don't know much about him,but for what it's worth, he was quoted in the Telegraph as saying he wanted to play for the All Blacks.

It was 700.

That's right. We all know there are no good players in those rubbish clubs.

Your memory may be better than mine,but as I recall it,Joe Barrakat coached there for 5 years until 2005,then it was Matt Williams 2006-7,Stuart Woodhouse 2008-2010, Andrew Cox 2011,Daniel Manu 2012 & part 2013 together with Matt Briggs 2013-2014.John Lomax was head coach in 2012 & 2013.If that...

Matt Briggs had 2 years at Wests.Joe Barraket had 5 years there previously.

Manly in 2's Uni in 3's & 4's

In this year's 10 nominations for the Catchpole medal are 2 ex Trinity boys,Harrison Orr & Henry Clunies-Ross.

Disagree. There are only 2 players who are not from the top clubs.Neither of these are among the top try scorers. Hugh Perrett from Eastwood won last year. If you are a "strong player" ,then it's not surprising that the referees notice you,irrespective of which club you play for.That's the way...

Dave,2 weeks before the start of the SS ,a prominent member of the MMM team was making himself available to other clubs if they were willing to pay the asking price.

1.Not "Facetious",it's "Irony". 2.You're in agreement with"A model" ? Presumably any model. Why not attempt to obtain the best model possible,& try to make THAT model work,logically with the best outcome? 3.In your post above #394, you complain about the frustration you have experienced...
