The amateur status will probably mean that instances like David Harvey for the Rats for example are being paid by the Friends of Warringah organisation. I have no issues with this but agree with the ARU in that why give a club $60k who will spend it on frignge mungos and kiwis which will add...

The petersham player is an idiot but the story got air time because footy violence is a hot topic. The shammies are better than that.

spewing I missed the game. How big was teh crowd at Manly oval yesterday? Do I see it correctly that Uni still have 7 teams contesting the finals?

I got an email too. It said that tix are available pre-public allocation on August 29. password is 'rugby'.

at a rugby function this year I was reliably told by a waratah player that KB (Kurtley Beale) was on about a mil. The mungos are really, really stupid with their cash, but KB (Kurtley Beale) must have copped a massive pay drop from the ARU for him to consider career suicide and play with a club known around the world for its...

the silence is hilarious!

Wamberal - Hughy Pyle played a season of Colts with Barker Old Boys and then went over to the Rats. His older brother Tom played 1sts for years and was a prodigous talent having played soccer his whole life.

Geez Uni are looking like a shoe-in. Hopefully Souths, Manly and Eastwood each get to have a crack at Uni in the finals consecutively as they are the only teams that I can see possibly having a chance. Poor old Gordon. I hear that they'll have 3 colts teams next year and will post a profit this...

Just out of interest, Manly RUFC allegedly posted a profit of $300k or similar in season 2012 which was a fantastic result. Are the Marlins set to post a similar financial result this year?

good luck Prodigy. From memory Epping didnt have a colts team last year so its a good result for you guys to have made the big dance this year.

Bruce - a question if I may. Uni has done very well to attract the top schoolboy and Wallaby talent. i.e Israel Folau. Is there is a concerted effort to grow your juniors player base? I know Balmain recently started a juniors club but did Uni have anything to do with this and what support does...

excuse my ignorance but why are the 7 clubs in the John I Dent comp? Wouldnt it be easier if there were 8 teams and no bye every week? Was there an 8th team or has the comp grown from 6 to 7? Would love to get down to see a ACT club game at some stage. What are the other comps in the Brumbies...

Yes Ozzie Bob, the Bobs 1sts have not put the points on the board which is a bit of a surprise. The rest of the grades are doing well and we dusted Lindfied in all 5 grades 2 weeks ago. The allstar dad's army 4th grade has a really good spirit and we have leaguies who have never played rugby...

anyone know what the schoolboy rugby sponsorship arrangement is worth. If there is one thing that rugby in Aus needs its more $ spent in proper places.

I dont think its the players turning up we need to worry about - its the crowd. You can still buy tickets on halfway and its a day game - this crowd could be an embarrassment for Aus rugby. What givs Brumbies fans?

any idea aht crowd is expected?

cripes that a lot of talent leaving. We'll need a replacement hooker who is pretty much a front line one as TPN wont play much - any idea what hookers we have coming on board and please dont tell me Holmes... Fitzpatrick is too small as well. Where is Kingston going? Also Hart?

Went to my first marlins game a couple of weeks back. Awesome way to spend the afternoon. A few beers, rugby at your feet - awesome. Chatswood Oval will get there soon.

platinum tickets now sold out and single seats only for gold and silver. Could be sold out in the next day or so. Hopefully the Force will make a good account of itself tonight.

I think its fair to say that BOBS haven't played the weaker clubs such as St Ives and Kings OB - I think it would be wiser to assess at the end of round 1. Since coming down to Div 2 last year, the club has done a lot of work re recruitment and a emphasis on enjoying rugby on and off the field...
