The point I made a few days ago about the loop hole in the player points system regarding so called non-fresh reserves was demonstrated again today by Uni. Paddy Ryan apparently played a "few minutes" in 2nd grade which meant his player points weren't counted when he came on in 1st grade. Needs...

Well said Wamberal! I also believe the age of entitlement should be curtailed for these rock stars coming out of school and straight into grade, in some cases straight into 1st grade. I'd like to see all school leavers have to play at least one year in colts before they are allowed to play grade...

It was interesting watching the 4th grade teams warm up yesterday. Uni were out (together) about 45 minutes before kick off, all dressed identically, and their warm up was very regimented and enthusiastic. They looked like a well organised team with a common purpose. Souths straggled out like...

Still a work-in-progress Dave, but 11 wins this year v 9 last year is an improvement and more impressive only 1 loss at Coogee (v Manly) and wins over Warringah, Eastwood, Southern and Uni ie all the other top 6 teams except Manly. I don't think we beat any of the top 6 last year. Lots of...

Anyone have any news on the injury to Mark Baldwin today?

According to a Tweet on the Wicks website he's on the bench. We probably won't know for sure until the players head out for the warmup about 2:30pm tomorrow.

Good but surprising news for Hooper and the Wallabies. Plus Kurtley Beale is supposedly available to play for the Wicks :)

I think Uni 2nd grade adds up to < 30 points so he'd fit in easily.

As I understand the SANZAR rules, Hooper would need to be able to prove that he was definitely going to play in this weekend's SF for it to be counted towards his suspension. That's been the approach in the past where players have sought to use club games to consume their suspension. Given that...

The team announced adds up to 98 points I think. They could have selected Latu, Tilse and Robertson in the front row and Hodge or someone in the 2nd row and still only had 98 points. Maybe Matthew Philip (10 points) is the player they want to bring on as a non fresh reserve having played a few...

I know, is this a wind up or what? 2 hookers in the front row, Tilse in the 2nd row ???

SANZAR suspensions generally apply to all levels ie can't play anywhere eg Jean Deysel's (Sharks) May suspension applied to a club game plus two S15 games, Henry Speight's June suspension was applied to S15, Wallaby and Gungahlin games and Ian Prior's (Force) April suspension was also applied to...

NSWRU website under "Shute Shield" / "Team Lists" / "Round 18 (sic)" http://www.nswrugby.com.au/ShuteShield/Teamlists.aspx

Hey Dave, I notice the Marlins have named Michael Hooper on the bench for this Saturday -- is that on the assumption he'll cop a suspension and, if so, can he then play club rugby? Or is this just a wind up?

Good luck to him -- he was certainly impressive in colts and grade this year. Any update on the injury he sustained against Southern 3 weeks ago?

Details of next weekend's games (times, grounds, etc) are now on the NSWRU website, but you have to look at the "Draw/Results" for each of the colts teams (listed as round 19).

7TWO stated yesterday that they will be at Uni Oval next Sunday.

Does anyone know what lower grade games are being played at which grounds on the weekend or do we have to wait for the NSWRU to announce this tomorrow?
