GA members were allowed into those sections for some reason on Saturday. If you went to the members bar before (as we did) no matter what ticket you had they let you into the box area and the guy said as long as nobody had an actual ticket anyone could sit there for this game. We got a nice box...

What is our only instate away game? It means we can all make it to at least 6 games though and gives us a great chance to finish top. Also depending on where the NSW country game is we get a trip somewhere out of Sydney without needing to fly?

I apologise:) I did say afterwards that is was tongue in cheek. Phipps, Latu, Ryan, Dennis, Foley - They all play for the corporation, hence not on my players to keep list;) But in all seriousness, I prefer Roach over Latu as our future hooker. I think needing to play Dennis stops us playing...

It was all a bit tongue in cheek to show we all differ on players and how they fit into our perfect team. Most of that list have actually gone abroad for a bit more coin.

Obviously in real terms none as we have vastly improved and are looking like a finals appearance this year, however we all have different opinions of players and even the most loyal of fans have their favourites and those players that no matter what they do they just annoy us . I would have like...

Betham may not come back as same player after injury or may take a season in SS to do so. Carraro has not been offered a contract, as yet, for next year and is not a winger. Horne and Naiyaravoro are not out and out wingers either. At moment we have Folau, Lance, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Naiyaravoro, Beale...

Sad to see him go, I have seen him a few times this year (watched the Norths Gordon game last night actually) and he has been a stand-out player every time and has not only scored but stopped the opposition score a lot. He is playing for a team that hasnt always turned up every week. Its hard...

Not making excuses, we are just not up to it, but... NZ have 2 18 year olds in that starting side and every player has a contract with a provincial side. We have 4 18 year olds and a 17 year old starting, a lot of our players are signed to amateur clubs back home. Our chances of not letting...

Wales won 13-3

Just answering your earlier question;)

We are building a decent core of young players, getting the right journeymen in to fill the gaps has been a challenge. Ben Toolis will play for Scotland in a few years, Atkins will become an integral member of our tight 5 and get a go with the national team next year and Hart (I know hes a...

In the Edinburgh squad at moment I would have an educated guess that wages are: Toolis brothers - 50k UKpounds each Hilterbrand - 50+k UK Atkins - 75k UK Hart 150k UK plus Scotland top up fees None of these guys would get near this here, probably none would get near a wallabies jersey...

You wouldnt wish playing for us on your worst enemy at the moment!

Collingwood and Richmond still had average crowds of 20k+ in the post war years and 10k+ in the 20's. The success of teams like these were because we still identified with regions and people had a much smaller world that they survived within - this tribalism continues today but it is much harder...

Head along to Merrylands on Saturday if your close enough, see him line up against Naiyaravoro.

I guess the argument could be: Why travel to X to support Y when Z play there and they are better/more successful - these new teams have no real reason for loyalty other than location (unless we see real links being forged to already existing club sides) and nowadays familes/individuals have a...

Slightly different when teams with strong identities (based on geographical and idealogical differences) move to share facilities after years of independence.

Jones played 6 for Uni and the under 20's didnt he? He has said many times that he sees his future long-term as a blindside flanker not a lock.

The NRC will kick off in late August following the State Premier Rugby Competitions and will run until the beginning of November. Aviva starts first week of September, so you would think he wont be involved with NRC at all. Leicester are building a great coaching staff. My only worry for Manly...
