Where has Ed Stubbs been playing this year?

Pete Samu he was barely talked about when he played at Randwick?

I think Ala was a late inclusion to a squad that needed to be a certain size because of departures elsewhere now he is close to a game because of Hooper going and a few other issues. Let's not keep having a go at Ala though I have seen some journeymen from all four clubs before make squads...

The players not in the match day squad for the senior side are placed into the Emerging Rays side that's the reason for the small squad.

I am pretty sure Sione played a lot of First Grade in 2012 (take a look at all the articles in 2012 on google, a round 6 article indicates he had been in good form and he was still there round 9) at Manly and then went back to league in 2013. Went back to Manly in 2014 and didn't get graded that...

http://www.rugbynews.net.au/john-manenti-joins-aussie-7s-after-coaching-reshuffle/ - Does this mean Manenti is not at Eastwood anymore?

Also forgot to mention previously but some of the defence seems pretty average judging by comments on the Stars twitter feed. Must struggle as well as the Rams with only a week to prepare with all the players.

Jones was not selected, Dave can answer re BJ as I am not sure.

Would make more sense to play 2 first grade games at the one venue?

Yes I did I thought the game was much improved including defence. Rugby was better when everyone wasn't just trying to get big and wanted to be skilful and fit but defence is also a key aspect.

Whilst it's a good thing to hear hopefully we aren't preparing the next batch of touch footy players.

Tatafu, Latu, Roach, Porecki, Dalziel? Would think it helps that Dalziel plays at Easts where Coleman coaches.

I am assuming Manly will have to hire lights for the TV game in a few weeks. North Sydney could have been an option for a night game for the Rays.

Lane and Hodge out with injuries. Hooper withdrawn due to work issues not sure what he does but bit of a blow.

Dave, I think you underestimate how highly I think Turtle's opinion is rated at the Rays. Townsend coached him when he coached Manly didn't he? The way I see it he will take over when the time comes. With the props I don't follow them that closely but can those guys play both sides with NSW...

Stranger things have happened don't think either side will challenge the title though. A big minus is that the Super Rugby B sides are so advantaged by the ability to choose 16 players fairly close to the NRC season.

Re your points : The reality is the squad should comprise of 1st grade players from the four clubs if Sireli & Yarrington want to play in the NRC they need to be playing 1st grade. Sione as I have explained before had some good games (I can't see him being a starter in the NRC for what it's...

Exactly so not sure what benefit the Stars actually get from this.

http://www.rugbynews.net.au/sydney-stars-announce-2015-nrc-squad/ Not sure why Hanson was signed.

The area of NSW seems to have produced plenty of Wallabies in the past!
