Like him or not, Ol' Gloria makes a bit of sense in this interview with NZ radio http://www.radiolivesport.co.nz/Audio/Alan-Jones-on-LiveSPORT/tabid/252/articleID/11907/Default.aspx

Games like this are offered to all Shute Shield clubs who get benefit from canteen sales. SD's must have put their hand up and can supply the volunteers required.

I can't comment on Randwick and my comments on Parra are from mere observation, however what is noticeable at Parramatta is a feeling that they are on the right track for the future. The elements for success seem to be there with an effective head coach and assistants, a savvy and dedicated GM...

A very good idea. Can they field teams down to D's and E's in most age groups?

It would be hard to go past him

OK, sorry, the prejudiced dinoasaur thing was over the top and I understand your point, but there will be some sort of a crowd and many of them won't have attended a shute Shield semi before. I have been at Merrylands with a large crowd and while you may be in the open sitting on grass or an old...

OK coach I'll bite. What exactly is the problem with Merrylands? One of the better playing surfaces in the comp, undercover seating, BBQ, canteen, plenty of parking. The visitors changeroom may be a little small but the showers work and unless you really are a coach or just enjoy hanging around...

He was a Blacktown Junior

Tahboy, I waited until after the weekend to make sure of the facts: Parramatta's team consisted of Blacklock - local junior Hoscher - country but a Parra colt Seutini - SA via Canberra Coleman - Canberra Olmstead - Gordon junior (hey we took one back) Cox - local junior Ma'a - local junior...

By the way, Parramatta are holding their annual lunch at Merrylands RSL on the 31st August, celebrating 35 years since their first premiership. Many of the 1977 side, including the irrepressable Thommo will be there along with Taaf and some Wallaby mates. Details on the website...

There are kids running around in Uni 3rd grade Colts (or Manly or Eastwood for that matter) who would walk into Parramatta 1st grade Colts, so why don't they go there? The answer, for now, is obvious. Let's face it, kids are attracted to Uni because they are the best. Best performing, best...

I'd like to see stats on the number of junior 'superstars' who've gone on and played 10 years of grade or Super rugby, VERSUS the number of ordinary club or school players who have achieved beyond juniors or Colts. It's also not always about a Uni degree. Parramatta is building relationships...

I tend to agree that a draft would be difficult to put in place, mainly because plyers aren't centrally contracted. The answer is in development. If Parramatta and Penrith (to choose 2) have the facilities, fringe benefits and coaching that is available elsewhere, they will attract and retain...

To paraphrase JFK: " there are risks and costs with any course of action, but they are nothing compared to the risks and costs of comforatble in-action". The SRU top 8 is an action that has generated renewed interest which in the long term can only be good. Exploring other ideas for the...

It was deninitely Farrer. The Dubbo team withdrew.

It was definitely Farrer, St Johns pulled out.

Just heard from my man at the Oakhill V Farrer game. It was almost a boilover with Oakhill getting across the line 36-34. With 9 to go, Farrer led 34-22 and were all over Oakhill who were listless and full of mistakes. Well done to the Tamworth boys who travelled down today. Massive wake-up call...
