It's no secret I'm pro the Shute Shield. I cringe at the way Pappy comes across, he raises allot of very valid good accurate points from solely one side, and i believe that has some people in the wider audience who aren't directly involved in the SS retaliating very fairly in a similar way -...

Pretty sure ILTW appreciates brand allignment - his brand as shitty as it is is Rat brand. Alot of the SS clubs are proud and promote their brand, you may have seen the Mini Marlins Rugby camp pictures.

I don't have an issue with the new cost and the insurance, comparing to other winter codes we are very very competitive. The timing of it frustrates me, most clubs would have already planned their registration costs for next year and in some cases even started promoting their club. Rugby...

Part of the pathway to the east hey

And cost to play Junior Rugby in Sydney goes up next year. I understand the break down of the costs and why, just not sure about the delivery of it all. National Participant Insurance Levy (NPIL) National Participation Registration Fee (NPRF) SJRU Administration Fee Fee/Levy Junior 4-7...

Poor kid having to head back to Newport

This i really like, whilst our junior clubs have their own identity. Our camps and programs include SS identity training tees to create the culture and fan base you refer to.

Manly had a player a few years back that propped up the scrum in 4th grade, and was clapped off walking through the tunnel of 1st grade out at Death Valley. I know of a number of players who started the season in 4's and got game time in 1's throughout the year. Whilst this one is rare, I...

True, but when University Scholarships play a part, it is a different playing field again. A group of us have been working an Grass Roots Junior Level, and more and more moss is stick to the ball that started out as a small ball. Goal, more young kids playing and having fun. providing...

Heard Randwick have 9 Aus Schools / Barbarians. An additional 8 that played at state level. How do they do that, or are they all just local juniors coming through?

Very good point. I also think the fact that the teams operated differently had an impact as well. The Rays did away with the quota being one. But the boys were absolutely spent at the end of the SS & NRC.

Shute Shield also had a 2 week break this year as well. I think you also said something very different this morning that came through via email, in which i jumped on to respond to and now it's gone. I also think it is a joke if GF & round one of the NRC are on the same day as i was told...

Always open to ideas that assist in participation growth.

Im not sure about the night games...... Each club will be different, and very reliant on gate. The night games I've been to pull a smaller crowd than the arvo games with the 4th graders cooking the sausages.

Shit x 3 Pfitzy.

Thanks slim - so you were a week after the SS's this year, and no break between the NRC. Really interested to hear about WA & VIC.

All you patriotic posters - come on club logo boys.

I'm sure you are enjoying the Christmas Spirit, and are Christmas Jolly Jolly aware were the true scholarships and offerings are as we are no doubt sharing the same competition.

One the scale of c, $, scholarships, I'm rather confident we are currently nowhere near what some of the other clubs are doing.
