Yeah I read that Fairfax thing yesterday. Despite the fact that he left rugby for mungo-ness, I think he'll do a good job. If the Tahs can sneak a couple of more wins in 2014 we should see a lot more stuff in the press. I do wonder what Weidler will write about when SBW moves to NZ to play rugby...

I guess that the Wallabies Tests and RWC matches are on fta so its not completely hidden away. We dont exactly have a position of strength to negotiate from sadly... The Sydney Kings was a massive brand in NSW so you couldnt really say it was in its infancy tho...

Just out of interest, now that the Libs are in power, have they agreed to fund an upgrade to Granville Park?

just out of interest, why do you call Randwick, the Hobbits?

Reading the Penrith blog, they mention 50 players training so far. How is the Gordon Colts recruitment drive going? Surely 80 players in the middle of rugby heartland isnt that hard is it?

Is there the equivalent of a subbies comp in Melbourne? i.e serious but more social one and two team senior clubs? Is this Division 2 thing new in the Melbourne rugby landscape? Are there any new clubs being formed with the advent of the Rebels?

Thats a shame re Knox lifting their game. I was really enjoying Barker laying on massive wins against them - something that didnt happen a lot when I played against them.

Hows the new Foundation fundraiser going Dave? I'm sure its not as simple as this but why doesnt every club have a foundation?

How much $ did the Brumbies pocket from winning this tournie? There must have been a purse due to the fact it was on TV around the world.

I was interested to hear radio advertising the Sevens in Sydney Prime Time and also on Saturday during a league show on Triple M. Obvioulsly the sunday rugby show, 'The Ruck' has been advertising it and I saw an ad on Fox Sports as well. ( I'm in Sydney). I do wonder due to the fact that there...

he just needs to be loved. Is that too much to ask for a 32 year old male with a family?

West Sydney Rams imo. Feed Penrith, Parra, Harbour and the Woodies into it.

Just back onto the subject of West Harbour and apologies if I'm miles behind but I was happy to see the fellow Debrekcini (sp?) fellow snapped up by the Rebels. I had heard that that great destoyer of Australian sport - the AFL were looking to poach him. Well done and Fuck you AFL - you've...

as long as the new team based academies introduce more players into a professional environment the better. Front rowers and locks only imo!

This was a fund raiser for NSW junior rugby from memory. Any idea how much was presented to the NSWRU? BTW who are the Penguins and the Wombats?

my 4th grade subbies team came up against some very strong semi final opponents. Despite having only lost 1 game all season, we were belted in the semis by a suddenly very strong openent who we had comfortably beaten twice that season. What is it with uni rugby clubs....

I think thats the ARU's issue with funding SS clubs. Most just spend it on journeymen, kiws and mungo mercenaries - this doesn't help grow the aussie rugby base one bit and if Wentworthville or whatever other mungo team there is offers more cash - most follow that. Part of me thinks that the ARU...

Agree WCW. The rugby scene up there has a long history, is well supported in the press and via the Hawthorne Club. The new stadium at Hamilton has the mungos all upset as well and would be a great base for an ARC team imo. As an aside, what subbies team are you playing for these days?

Coming from a subbies background, my personal view is to keep the Shute Shield sacrosanct and any national comp would be a rep team. I actually only think Sydney needs 2 teams - call one Sydney Fleet and the other must be West Sydney Rams and fed from Penrith, Parra, West Harbour and Eastwood. 2...

Building the pyramid is presicely why we needed a 5th soup team. 5 Academies now represents a further 45 spots that weren't available last year. Surely this will assist our under 20 prospects next year. Are we going to see a state based under 20s championship any time soon? I hate what the...
