Wasn't that my point earlier Bruce. Lambs to a slaughter. Better to pick adults as opposed to children. On Nick Phipps, what did Chris Cottee, Jeremy Sua and the rest do wrong? They would have done great.

Change for change sake. Your Souths team will struggle.

40 acres and a mule.

Wouldn't the players then want a slice of the pie. I cant see this working due to the clubs not being able to pay all the players. I wish it could though as only one game of club rugby isn't enough. This is especially the case on derby days, when the passion meter rises. Also there is nothing...

You may need to start a new forum on the state of Queensland club rugby and why the ABC doesn't bother showing it.

Can anyone provide an updated list of all members of the Brumbies academy. They have a press release on their site but as per usual no updated player list. Someone, as earlier mentioned needs to tell them that Afusipa is a Rebel and that he isn't wagging training.

I do.

There was a guy called Nua Alone from the Penrith emu's in 09 playing in Canberra this year on a dev contract. Where is he now?

Done that, I agree with you except for the part where you state that only a few diehard fans rock up. I believe in the last couple of years that due to increased rep player involvement the Shute Shield has gone through a bit of a resurgence. The challenge now is how to continue this when with an...

Where is Speight mentioned on the Brumbies website? I cant seem to find any record of him. Also I believe Timani has signed a dev contract with the Waratahs. I guess he is trying to do a Fava and play for everyone. When did Waqa go to Parramatta as he was at Gordon this year. Does anyone rate...

Maybe it was a rockstar exemption. The secondrower from Brisbane's season had concluded, although I am on record saying that surely shouldn't be allowed. Finally I know of suburban rugby club that has had several complaints over the years of playing some grade players, albeit only lower grade...

You cant be simultaneously registered by 2 clubs.

I was thinking bigger picture like the removal of at least 100 players each week. And then as you say en force er the ones who cant play due to work or they are injured or sick. For the work related one it's not as if for away games he can play for the local club because of rego issues...

As someone who goes and watches the Shute Shield every weekend I am aware of what, you are talking about. Also as someone who has coached a club side( not grade but colts) I am aware of the politics involved with club rugby. I dont feel there is sufficient player movement to warrant alot of...

I'm begging you Lee, can this go back to a Shute Shield forum. Shouldn't this thread be about player movement between clubs etc not how to fix the 3rd tier of rugby.

I meant the juniors. I hope it doesn't eat into any of their entitlements.

Directed should be seen as encouraged. Finally I respect your opinion so I dont want to get into a slanging match over something that will probably not eventuate. That said I dont agree with your belief that it was the Sydney clubs fault that the ill conceived ARC fell through and also that the...

Christian Lealiifano was directed by the Brumbies in 2009 to stay in Canberra and play in the John Dent Cup so he could spend more time with Andy Friend in Canberra. Finally it is hard enough for the likes of Penrith, Parramatta and Norths to beat Australia's 6th Super Team. So I have no idea...

None. Why would the Brumbies send any players to the 2Blues to be mauled. Also this talk of a Canberra team is surely ridiculous as is the National comp comments. Both have been tried, both have failed, let's talk Shute Shield not let's fix Aussie Rugby. Finally go the Emu's.

My previous post was about the selectors picking a whole bunch of younger guys as opposed to players between the ages of 24 to 27. I agree that the game is one of speed, but my concern is that by picking these younger guys they will not match the physicality of the Samoans and Fijians. I have no...
