I thought one of the better years in recent memory we had in the backs was with Brian Melrose in charge of skills/backs... You look at the way that Eastwood side plays in the Shute Shield currently and it is amazing to watch players with skills and using them(Melrose has brought this young team...

Don't expect too much.

Obviously with Hickey's background he believes strongly in the virtues of club rugby. But little does he realise in this day and age of Super 15 professional rugby you have to tie talented young players to contracts or other franchises will pilfer them. Currently it seems Hickey has no plan for...

Does someone mind telling me the Rugby News website(with each rounds magazine etc) as I am in the UK and can't find it!! Cheers

Looks like Denan Kemp played for Southern Districts on the weekend(2nd grade), not Parramatta as previously mentioned.

I totally agree... Obviously each competition has weak teams and strong teams but Parra need to get to the point of being able to challenge for mid table positions. Because Penrith and Parra have been sharing the bottom two positions for a reasonable length of time now. Encouraging first win...

Im telling you Tim Bennetts from Eastwood is the answer at 13. Runs the ball hard and the ball actually gets to the wing sometimes because he can pass the ball....

You are incorrect Chief. You are thinking of Rugby League in Rugby Union for a penalty try to be awarded the try would to have 'probably been scored'.

This was the problem. Smith was put in a cauldron and was exposed. Of course he wasn't going to give a penalty try he was refereeing to forge this as his career and he wouldn't have wanted to be remembered for one moment...

Tim Bennetts looks like a men playing with boys in the Shute Shield but they haven't given him a go yet. Cameron Mitchell was classy in the early rounds as well but is now out for the season.

If the player was pushed back into the field of play why didn't the follow scenario ensue then : A) Play allowed to continue B) Reds players have to roll away/release.

Hopefully we don't take S.Fainga'a as the 3rd Hooker for the Wallabies. Hopefully Slipper can help improve the Reds scrum over the coming weeks. Daley wasn't much tonight.

Pretty sure the Waratahs have won quite a few close games over the years. Especially against the Reds.

Would have taken some balls from Smith to decide the game for such an inexperienced referee at this level. Walsh on the other hand... Who knows...

How has Smith asked for the video referee to check for a try and then given the Scrum to QLD?

Hi I referee they say International Referee's need to get 13 in the beep test. Although that might be a difference measurement with the Yoyo test now about. You also learn the game. That referee would have been trying to stay in line with the ball by running straight rather than diagonal...

Haha wow. Wouldn't have expected that from the ABC.

Only the best Junior base in Australia and we constantly look further afield for players that aren't even World Class.

QLD become reasonable for two years and the above happens. NSWRU has a far better track record over the last 10 years than the QRU.

Well it's obviously Luck then!
