Whilst we in this space, there are about 12 Shute Shield clubs who also receive SFA from the state unions to assist in growing the nursery that is important to grow.

That's 15 top level players in 5 years. 15 players in a team - gee that aint half bad.

We need to look at what, how, who, Plenty of ideas - good, bad, impossible, but what, how, who. Something that i have found out through research and work over the past 12 months is it appears the ARU has passed on the development and growth of our game to the state unions. I have no issue...

Maybe, Likely, one of the reason i think it should be at the club level. So kids can also support them on the weekend. I have great memories all those years ago; Then it started raining, and the kids had even more fun; These kids know who the players are. The old saying...

I think it had something to do with the RWC and then didnt change.

I'm thinking they played round one because they wanted to play, and they are playing this weekend because they enjoy it. Just guessing

Lots of colts, and grade players don't get to play NRC or Test match rugby. Could say mid July its disappeared for a far greater number than those who are still getting to play.

I recall something changed to the SS because of the NRC - I cant remember what through? I can't ever remember club rugby finishing mid July, I'll say again it is wrong and in know why does it develop / grow rugby. Rugby has one round left of club or soup. Rugby league has 8 rounds left of club.

All very interesting I must say.

I'm not sure whether that is true, or untrue. I think i recall the powers above reducing the season when the first half we played against each club, and then it was Top 6 / Bottom 6 - i believe this was done to accommodate the reduced season. People didn't like that so it was changed to what...

By finishing the Shute Shield and Premier Rugby comps mid July you are ending the season of allot of rugby players far to early - this aint good for the game.

I hear the ref scored 2 for you yesterday, and was helpful.

I have watched ever game and apart from the rats game we were in the position to win every game. Tells me the boys can play, just need to play 80.

Now Galah - there from 4s watching the uncontested scrums. Like the Woods i think we are one of 3 (now 4 teams given Tahs aren't looking good) teams that can go all the way - have to pack boots in the morning and turn up.

They were losing the line outs as well, couple the jumpers didn't even put there hands in the air.

There was a young kid called Alex Northam who had 2 years in the Aus 20's - didn't have the big PR system attached to him - and got signed up offshore. He's a serious talent.

In the second halve there was a meeting before each line out, the front of the line out would run up the hooker - chat - run back to front of line out. Tahs are a professional rugby team, who play rugby for their occupation (shit my dream) - they are a professional rugby team, are are at the...

OK? Only? It get you up early on a Saturday and traveling so you enjoy the day.

Fare way off the Shute Shield but grass roots and Mini Marlins keeping out of the rain and doing it J Train style. Training with the boss - Kotoni - giving back to the kids

Dude you seem to float around on here with posts that are designed to stir the pot, rather than encourage good communications and contributions. Your continual reference to snouts, is that suppose to suggest you know / have influential people in key areas that can have an impact or know what...
