By eliminating funding to clubs they are just widening the gap between club rugby and S15. Without funding clubs will still survive but won't be able to afford the training, coaching and management facilities needed to prepare players for the next level. The ARU board members are shooting...

He'll be a big boy when he grows up ! To quote Chris Handy: "he must have been raised when meat was cheap".

I'll throw another name into the #9 mix at the Wicks -- I notice Tony Luxford was in the 7s team which competed in Singapore recently. He was a regular / fringe first grader before joining the army. I think I heard he's been captaining the army team. Not sure of his availability in 2015.

Not to mention Tim Donlan. Anyone heard whether he's staying at the Wicks or heading back to the Rats (or somewhere else)?

Not all of the Parramatta River is either!

Macca, how did Wil Munro go? Did he start or come off the bench? (PS: I didn't see the game)

Might be a good idea to learn how to spell his name if you're going to rubbish him on this forum.

Maybe he has, but it's still good to see a promising young player overcome injury and hopefully get a chance to further develop his potential. Isn't that what the NRC is all about?

Good to see David Horwitz on the bench for the Eagles semi final. I think this is his first game (back from injury) in the NRC.

Works for me! Let's do away with the Super15 and NRC and Cheika can coach the Wicks and the Wallabies ;)

No hardcopy Rugby News No ABCTV (possibly) No money We will still survive -- somehow!

Wade Kelly denied there was a youth experiment and he was just picking the best team available every week. I think it was more about trying to actively recruit young talent to the club and progressing them through colts into grade rather than a policy of picking young guys in firsts. There was...

Hopefully Joe can instill some defensive grunt into the team. For several years they've shown the ability to score amazing tries, but spoil it all by conceding soft tries by the truckload.

Might have been due to the tartan design?

I'd suggest there are people at Chatswood who have never heard of Gordon :(

I agree with you Hugh, my posts were obviously tongue-in-cheek. However, if you look at the movements of players each year it's obvious that virtually ALL clubs receive players from other Sydney clubs and vice versa. As has been mentioned many times in posts players change clubs for a whole...

Yep, but we decided the guys came to play at the team with the best known name of any Australian club team around the world so we decided not to change it ;)

The Uni of Canberra Vikings website has his club listed as Queanbeyan Whites.

Sounds like Easts should change their name to East / West if the rumours about players moving there from Penrith and Parra are correct ;)

Yes, I know it was a cheap shot, but I couldn't resist, sorry :)
