Also, what does Lucas have to do to get a game.

West Harbour - narrow win for the Pirates. Parramatta - M2B win by 10+ (20+ if the big man plays) Eastern Suburbs - Tala Grey inspired victory right at the buzzer. Sydney University - 20+ for students, a few yellow cards in this one. Manly - 30+ for Marlins. Northern Suburbs - Crawford...

I just dont get it: Crawford playing for Northern Suburbs so 100% fit you would think. Cararro hasnt convinced anyone (other than MC) - slightly disappointing last week Naiyaravoro - not ready, Lions wont tackle as badly as Eastwood last week, might have a future but needs more SS games before...

Went along to Merrylands as time caught up with me and I would have barely made 1st grade if I had gone to Manly. Glad I did, great day. 2's was close until the sin binning and 1's was fantastic game. Emus have some really good players this year, thats twice I've seen them and Toleafoa and the...

I thought the ref was ok, scums and lineouts were a lottery at times (but have yet to see a game this year where I agree with all set-piece decisions) but generally the first hour of the game was handled well. Last 20 he lost the plot with some rather odd decisions, then gave a yellow that wasnt...

The direction of a pass is relative to the player making it and not to the actual path relative to the ground. A player running towards his opponents’ goal line may throw the ball towards a colleague who is behind him but because of the thrower’s own momentum the ball travels forward relative to...

I thought the weekends games were a great advert - went to North Sydney on Friday and Warringah on Saturday. Both enjoyable games, although when the whistle went for that penalty at the end for Uni my mood could not be described as cheerful... We all like a whinge every so often, but the...

I would add Foley and Phipps to the list also. McKibbon aint much better but we cant keep playing players that are not performing. McKibbon to start and Lucas off the bench - give them a go and see if they take their chance. I'd move Beale to stand-off, Horne to centre and play a winger on the wing.

Benji didnt give it long enough in Union. I think he played super 15 too early - needed a season in ITM cup and possibly a stint in Japan or Europe before S15. Best player I ever played against was Alan Tait, in my opinion best cross-code player of the lot along with Gibbs and Quinnell

Tahs on at 3.30 right? Why were games not planned for a bit earlier so we could watch the SS games then head to club house or similar to watch the Tahs? Whats best option to try and catch end of game on Friday - Norths or Gordon?

I'm about 15 minutes from the ground and its perfect sunny conditions today.

I saw it at the game, thought it deserved a red card at time. I thought the initial action was a red and follow up was an absolute disgrace. Having watched it on vimeo, initial action was more stupid that malicious but deserved a yellow, follow up was still a disgrace and deserved a red. The...

Was a decent game despite the conditions at concord Ref and lines woman were two of the worst I have ever seen You always see things through your teams eyes and would love a uni perspective but the assault on Harvey should have been a red card and there were a few punches off the ball and a...

Cant see Scarlets being caught, Dragons will get around 42 points and Connacht around 40 points. Scarlets minimum of 55 points and maximum 60 points. Cant see us getting more than 44 points and even then thats unlikely from us. A ridiculously optimistic outlook would still be bonus point wins...

My first trip to Merrylands on Saturday, perfect day for it and the rugby on show was decent especially the 2's game. Thought it looked like the first game of the season for some of the players and combinations but a very enjoyable day. Got a season pass so hopefully you can rectify the running...

An all Scottish Edinburgh side next season would look like this: 1. Dickinson 2. Ford 3. McQuillan 4. Atkins 5. Gilchrist 6. B.Toolis 7. Grant 8. Denton 9. Hart 10. Tonks 11. Visser 12. Scott 13. De Luca 14. Fife 15. Cuthbert 16. Hilterbrand 17. Cringle 18. Allan 19. A. Toolis 20. Watson 21...

Aberdeen Asset Management have been a great sponsor of Scottish rugby for a while now - they used to be main sponsor of Edinburgh and are current sponsor of London Scottish. I understand rugby is getting a bit more of a push in Aberdeen than most cities in Scotland but its still not a rugby...

It would be nice to see Caledonia in a grudge match against Glasgow but I can't see it happening. Just not the support or infrastructure. However, I did note that the Scotland side against Italy had 7 players that come from the Caledonia region with 7 "non-Scots", 5 Weegies, 3 Borderers and 1...

As Highlander and I have said, there is no real way we could (or deserve to) have a third pro side really. Rugby is a minority sport in Scotland, if you look at the numbers we have around 40k playing the sport and of this 11k are adult males. This is less than Japan, USA and Italy. Ireland has...

Scotland could have 3 or 4 pro teams with a fairly reasonable increase in funds to be honest. Currently we have 61 players on our books (I know we are going through yet another rebuilding season so have extra players but still), thats 10 more than the weegies. Given that a third side would be a...
