He is a quality bloke TC, of immense character. Wrapping Baldwin who he will be going head to head with for a starting first grade spot. I had heard he was a cut above too.

oh shit but think Waverley Oval has a cricket pitch as well ;) I think the Sydney East team has to try and tap into the private school rugby supporters (scots,cranbrook, waverley) as like it or not their are probably supporters of both Randwick and Easts who will have a hard time supporting a JV...

hahah Dave, being a former player and staunch supporter of the wicks you might expect me to feel as if we are entitled to a stand alone, play at coogee and wear the myrtle green. After all long before Uni were the team people love to hate the Wicks held this mantle. In reality Im also a big...

Retired Fatty has the good mail.

Whispers of Easts back on board in a JV with Randwick and UNSW. Can anyone confirm?

Have the tahs confirmed who will be kicking for goal? Beale or foley?

I would say this is a good summation of the three. I think that the more often Aus Rugby can steer away from the 'safer' option the better. Im also of the opinion that there is some responsibility on the franchises to entertain the crowd (whole other debate) and promote the game. Cheik has...

Seen a bit of him over the years and he definately made the most of his opportunities last year when given a sniff to his credit. All mind u on the back of a pretty decent backline featuring a comfortable Folau. "he knows how to finish off a break" I think youll find this is a pretty big...

Yep Beale to start from the bench for mine. Foley set for a big year, have never had a big wrap on crawford and if Beale were to start think the only option would be from the wing with a licence to roam.

Anyone see the trial against the tahs, any good performances?

hmmmmmmm ill let that through to the keeper ;). think Hoiles offers something a bit different from the rest of the squad forwards with his linking ability and skills.

Agree Peterson is most certainly not up to super rugby at this stage in my opinion. The loss of chapman with guys like douglas, skelton, potgeiter, palu in the mix to be in gameday 23 it leaves the tahs a little short on lineout options. I think Steve Hoiles looked pretty good in the second half...

Yep Randwick have been working on building their relationship with UNSW for a while now. The acquisition of Nick Ryan is in direct relation to their proposal also. The top 40 squad members have already being doing the majority of pre season training at Uni fields.

match report anywhere on this trial?

Hoiles hasnt got a contract but is n accomplished jumper

I would hardly put Randwick in the "Big 2" in the last decade. Well and truely out of the top 4, with manly, eastwood,southern districts and others having significantly more super players. Agree re uni though ;)

Munro just filling a weak spot at Randwick last year, Very Handy Back Rower but yeah not tall enough for row, also only 21

whats the issue with him playing at Randwick?

Id like to see Hooper or Phipps captain the side

Interesting, probably would have said the same about horwill for the wallabies at start of 2013. What do you see as Dennis major strengths and do you feel he fits the 2013 style of play of tahs @ 6
