Have you some names ? May well be a closer comp than last year if that is possible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Aus Baa Baas played the Brumbies in a trial early this year at Viking Park. GAGR have a match report somewhere FYI. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don’t be surprised to see Kelly Meafua and Nick Palmer being more prominent than people expect. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Owen Finegan officially announced as Randwick HC for 2018. Club announcement stated that Shannon Fraser has accepted another coaching role elsewhere. The rumour is Norths. Anyone have mail on that? Think the Wicks could will miss Nick Ryan (the Director of Rugby) unless they have a capable...

is it time to start the 2018 thread yet gents?

Think one of the problems/challenges facing rugby in NSW/Australia is a lack of big boppers. In the Shute Shield guys who should be large back rowers play lock allowing smallish guys to play 6 & 8. The large back rower types then don’t develop. I reckon Mcmahon and Dempsey should play 7 and...

Think Nick Ryan’s appointment will do good things for the rebels. He has great form in the recruitment and pathway areas. His work at Randwick & Sydney Uni really changed improved those clubs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not sure whether you have in the 5% or the 95%. Am guessing the latter. MAybe that's why he has been recalled. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

IMO the Rugby brains trust really back the guys that can do the 5% ers (Dempsey, Hanigan etc). These guys can do the odd tricky play however are allowed to ignore the other 95% of their job descriptions. The guys who do the other 95% don't get the credit. Tackling, winning collisions, effective...

Heard that Nick Palmer ex Norths and Kelly Meafua are training for a contract with the Tahs in the off season. Not sure how reliable my mail is. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What happened to the Wicks?? Was always concerned that the loss of 5 key forwards would stretch their depth at the business end of the season however they did have some good replacements. Good luck to the Rats - suspect Souths may win it if they get past Norths today. Sent from my iPad using...

Wonder who the Ref was... Watched the game today as well as the game against West Harbour whom the same bloke officiated and he blew Randwick off the park both games. He is not up to this level. Dreadful inconsistency, poor application of the advantage rule and just plain wrong at times. Pity to...

Thanks! to save the time - whats your observations?

Disappointing loss for Australian Rugby. Thought he was better than Mack Mason from what I saw in the Shute Shield. Obviously those that make the selections for the Waratahs know what they are doing ....(whoops sorry for that cheap shot - couldn't help myself)

I thought Tim Kellaher is the Talent Scout for NSW - if so do the results suggest he should get the chop

In addition to all of the other issues our game is struggling with, I have concerns that the Pay TV sector will not be viable enough to continue to pay the sponsorship for Super Rugby. Foxtel has so much additional competition that charge subscriptions of $10 per month whereas a Foxtel package...

Good reasoning and sentiment however feel that guys like Deegan may develop with time. Our development pathways seem to be after the next big thing or a foreign development player without letting players spend some time in senior rugby to grow into it. I recall watching Horwitz in his first year...

I had heard that all Tahs players have been given 2 weeks holiday and many are heading overseas. Not a good look given the state of Rugby in Oz if that is actually true.

A 10 ?- Tahs have one (Andrew Deegan) and according to the rumour mill are letting him go

Further reports have Waratahs squad fly half Andrew Deegan heading overseas. Seems he has slipped behind Mack Mason on the pecking order. He is on the up so this is a further loss to our base here.
