Exactly, so the teams put forward need to be a merger of existing clubs? Pick a squad of club players and a coaching staff from the feeder teams. I think the ARU have messed-up in asking for bids, we should have four NSW teams - three merged clubs (4 Shute shield temas each) and the Cockatoos...

I dont know much (some would say about most things) about QLD rugby but is three teams the right amount for QLD?

I think 5 teams in the long run from NSW is about right - as long as it expands the capture areas. Northshore and central coast Eastwood and western Sydney Southern and Illawara Newcastle and Country NSW City The thing is a lot of people on here are from NSW and follow SS - we dont want to loose...

Where do Randwick, Easts fit in? Randwick is one of the better grounds to visit and they can generate a decent crowd at times. In my opinion you cant have a stand alone club, this comp should be about stepping up and combining the best NSW has to offer in club rugby. I also think there is no...

If we are going to have a similar competition as Currie Cup and ITM/NPC, should we not have 14 teams in two tiers of 7 with promotion and relegation?

When a referee continually favours one team and makes bewildering decisions that cost one side the win then that referee is indeed biased. I'm not saying he went into the game planning to do it or that he was paid to be biased but he ended up favouring one side and showed bias towards them...

Congrats to Balmain, I know a lot of people dislike them but as a neutral you should take a lot of pride in Saturdays performance. One of worst (most biased) refereeing displays I have seen in a long time, but still a shared win in your first season there. Well done.

Will there be any more players missing the finals due to signing for a European team? Hepetema went this week and I hear a couple more due to announce departures soon...

Ref was definitely on the take, as was the guy that took the kick for Newington:D

I think people get carried away with the Uni thing to easily. Its only a game, but a game we all love and probably have put to much time and importance into during our lives. Since I arrived here Uni have won the comp almost every year - they have the best squad and seem to have the best...

Yeah Atkins is qualified to play for us, he also played in Scotland for my old club Edinburgh Accies a few years back I think.

I always rated him but its a bit odd as we already have Scotland first choice SH and the future number 9 on the bench... I think he will be well suited to Scottish Rugby and I guess the lure of international rugby was too big to miss

There Irish not Scottish;)

Grayson Hart apparently of to Scotland to play club and international rugby - anyone know if true and if so which of the two clubs he is joining?

Anyone know if the rumour that Grayson Hart is going to either Edinburgh or Glasgow is true?

OK, sorry to all involved I never had the intention of causing such upset on this forum. I was not bringing his integrity as an individual on or off the park into question, nor was I saying he was dirty player. Off the ball cr@p may have inferred this but it was not what I meant. Petty niggle is...

Well I could be easily be wrong but I watched Uni three times this season and he always seems to having a sly push on the back or holding on to opposition players after the breakdown and the ball has gone. No comments on scrummage time - as a 7 and backrow coach I left the dark arts alone. But...

In my opinion Talakai could do with learning to cut out the off the ball cr@p and the petty niggling that he continuously does during a game. If he went looking for the ball/breakdown quicker rather than channeling Carter after the ball has gone he would be a much much better player.

Welcome Hotel and Dicks in Balmain, Nags Head in Glebe and the rugby club are the only places I have been that you can guarantee audio for the rugby to be on.

#1 at Uni, I will be going mainly because KB (Kurtley Beale) is playing - well that and wanting to be near a decent pub for the Lions Baa Baas game.
