....or if you are just so much better than the rest of them

Ben W has a credibility problem,because a relative got a job with another organisation...... Typical Gloria logic.

He’ll only start if he’s the best option. I’m okay with that. I can’t think of a deserving young 13 that is missing out on a spot in the squad

What good is “collective gumption “? Pitchforks in the streets? The game is run by the board,how do you get on the board? By mixing with,and sharing the vision of the board.

Gordon have raided someone's piggy bank. D Coleman to coach next year.

I also agree with the thrust, it's undeniable that the game has been losing ground on almost every metric for a decade. But really, they talk up the grassroots,but they are really only representing senior clubs. if they treat junior/country/subbies as an afterthought in getting out their...

I just hope she doesn't still have Desi's phone number......

RUOK? If you are, read the fucking rules champ.

Mate, there's no interest. Manly & Rats are the only 2 that consistently compete in the summer comps,and the Marlins appeared to rest their better players this year.

I'm a pragmatist. The Tahs can still invite rockstars from schoolboy rep teams to training sessions and in the sheds after games without a program. We consistently lose kids that are in these programs whenever league teams offer six figure contracts to school kids,and we will always lose these...

I don't want to make this about Chrichton, but the article you reference states that the Tahs couldn't offer him a full time contract,but he was offered a f/t 7's contract. You're right that we can't compete with !eague for those that are ready to go straight away, and having them in a program...

Crichton went to Souths because they were willing to pay him real money from day 1. Same as the kid at Newcastle. If the intent is to keep these kids,then don't spend $450k on this pathway,select 2 schoolboy rockstars every 2 years and allocate them this cash. I'd prefer they spent it on more...

I think their program for 15's is flawed. Most of the kids involved are there because they have been nominated by their school coaches from Schools with strong Rugby programs. these kids are already exposed to good coaching,good competitions and from 16's on,a rep program. The only benefit to...

There’ll be no home semi finals in nsw this year....

Mate, he's 20 & being a wallaby is still a new & exciting thing. He's not in his 5th year where it's becoming a bit of a grind. For him to want to walk away clearly means things have affected him badly. I don't think it's anyone's place to be cheerleading the RA to enforce contractual...

They were outgunned across the park last week,which probably magnified things. But I wouldn't be selecting him at SS level at this stage. I admit I am conservative about blooding young blokes.

Overawed, or just up to this grade ATM?

It's an 8 of the back of the debacle of 2017. But we had a 50% win rate in the weakest pool,with 25% win v kiwi teams. I give it a 6 for performance and an 8 for effort. With a most improved to the front office. I consistently received marketing material with good offering throughout the year...

It's much harder to start again, than to maintain/ grow. I can't see how they can ever get back in. Only pathway can be through subbies, I s'pose.

^^^^yep, couldn't get their stories straight. But they weren't pissed..... Who were the mugs who gave Friend his new job? Obviously have no internet.
