Olds will be back in a few weeks. Royals definitely have a strong SIRU flavour!

http://issuu.com/renewalbrochure/docs/jid_stampede_-_round_2_2014/19?e=2071621/7435494 Scott Meakins gets a start for Uni-Norths this week against Tuggies, well done Scott. Also, ex-locals Ed Garraway and Seth Stoltenberg are running around for Uni Colts. No mention of James Olds though...

#SIRU2014 Round Two Preview: Another tough round this week in the local competition with some solid matchups in Albury, up at Young and at Beres Ellwood when Aggies take on the Blacks. It’s tough to pick a Match of the Round again this week, but I’ve opted for the Albury v CSU clash as it has...

http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/2208376/turnbull-new-siru-coach/?cs=149 Richard Turnbull has been appointed as SIRU Coach for the 2014 Brumbies Provincial Cahmpionships in Jindabyne on the June Long Weekend which is great news for the zone. Also, Peter Armstrong has confirmed that he...

From what I've heard around the grounds, I would expect an even competition this year with strong competition from the front runners through to mid-table teams. There is a really positive vibe around the competition this year with plenty of off-field talk, some teams lose a few, others gain a...

This match has been postponed due to rain in Griffith. Updates will follow when I know more about what's doing.

#SIRU2014 ROUND ONE PREVIEW: I’ve tipped the Waratahs Albury match as Match of the Round this week, but there are some really interesting match ups across the competition this week, Temora v Young will be tough as will CSU v City and I’m sure the punters in Griffith will be keeping an eye on...

I'm working on it @jb23, give me time mate! Probably won't have a season preview, but will do Round 1.

Great post SFR, we need more people like you involved in our game. Every referee will make mistakes, we are only human. The more people that are open to talking to the referee in a constructive manner about the game in general, the better.

Hey folks, anyone from Parra got any mail on Dan Rawaqa? Allegedly playing in the mighty SIRU Competition in 2014? http://www.areanews.com.au/story/2173800/booming-blacks-sign-shute-shield-sensation/?cs=671

Also posted this in the SIRU thread as that is where Ben Leaper was playing for the past 3 years but thought that there might be some interest over here in the Monaro thread given the recent chat about pathways for SIRU players. Goes to show that if you've got the biscuits you can make it to a...

Congrats to Ben Leaper from Ag College who has been given a run in the Brumbies team that played the touring Pampas XV yesterday in Canberra. Although this match was a friendly, the Pampas XV are the Argentinean B side and this match would have been a pretty handy standard. Goes to show that...

All SANZAR Referees were made aware of this before the season kickoff. Appointments were only made to Round 4/5 and then SANZAR was going to appoint based on performance over the first few rounds of the competition. I think it's a good idea and allows SANZAR to develop their refereeing stocks.

This. So many times, I want to hear what the ref is actually asking of the players, not what the commentators think about a certain passage of play. It's also great to hear what the captains/players in close proximity to the ref are saying as well.

You would have to say that he is the exception to the rule. Didn't he grow up in western Sydney? I'd be interested to know what value you see in sending the team on tour for a week?
