Same question can be asked for Tom Connor of Randwick.

Norths Newsletter : 'Fourth Grade: NORTHS 28 - 0 GORDON. After the very competitive game between these two teams earlier in the season, this game had been eagerly anticipated by all. Unfortunately Norths won this game on forfeit after insufficient Gordon players turned up to play on Sunday...

Norths can send all the players that they have poached with money as well.

It seems a number of New Zealand players are coming in based on the club's coaching connection and the ability to offer reasonable jobs as part of a player package(ex - player + board contacts). This in turn reduces player payment!

You have hit the nail on the head here. Limit the amount of transfers/players registered from outside the district. Some players have legitimate reasons for moving clubs - fair enough. Some just do it for money/other high powered incentives(Uni Scholarships etc im not just talking Sydney Uni...

There is more than enough space on the North Shore to support two teams lads. Gordon's year hasn't been great but 3 out of 6 teams could be in finals come next week. North Shore is the heart of Australian Rugby if you get rid of Gordon the game will never recover. I would suggest Rugby...

He ought to McCaffrey and Goodman were both in the same Gordon Juniors team. Alcock also been a bit of mentor for Goodman through Barker etc.

Totally agree with Bruce if Uni get beaten it will take a bloody good colts side when Gordon played them it was a contest for 60 minutes then superior fitness and strength and power in the last quarter was too hard to handle.

This is incorrect information. I was playing this game. The game was called off because the referee felt that Parramatta would rather try and start fights than play Rugby(due to the scoreline). Two Physio's had to step in when six Parramatta players attacked a Gordon player over the sideline...

If you get Jake McIntyre you will probably get his mates as well. The majority of the North Coast backline all go to school together, play club football together on Saturday and represent CHS midweek!

What are the facts then Bruce? As far as I can see there can be no excuse for a lack of Sydney Uni players because : A) They have plenty of players who would have been readily selected in a Sydney/Country side(remember they asked for 1st/2nd grade Sydney Grade Rugby players for the Country...

Interested re point above is this a result of luring Rooty Hill across? What Junior clubs does Penrith have now? Just had a look Parramatta don't have an U16's which is not a good sign as Parramatta is a very large district(maybe with Rooty Hill gone it may have come back to the pack a...

Drove him back 25 meters after the whistle and flopped down on him? do I sense a slight exaggeration?

Who cares if he played a certain grade at whatever age. Some players develop slower and we should be thankful to have experienced players playing in the Shute Shield this is what develops the quality. My club Gordon have most of the team if not all under the age of 22 in 2nd grade. Good sign...

Yeah Gordon only probably have 6 or 7 in the whole club which is not many these days. Only 2 in Colts I am pretty sure.

Brave? I would hardly call it brave?

Some crucial match official mistakes had a big bearing on this game - 2nd last scrum was wheeled - should have been Wallabies ball. Scotland's 1st or 2nd penalty was after the player had clearly gone into touch to get the ball back. Big influence on a game that had less points in it due to...

Hendrik Roodt went to Gordon as well because the club has a prominent South African contact who usually put's them up when they arrive in Sydney. Peter Grant nearly played a few seasons ago. Hopefully he can continue bringing us some handy players.

I am still pretty certain the initial set up of the Junior(be it before 1997) Gordon helped with then?

Chris played for Gordon if I remember correctly a few years ago in lower grades.
