Tyronne Mitchell is at Uni as an assistant. Nigel has come over from Auckland from what I have found. Power House haven't changed, neither have Quins or Moorabbin IIRC. Souths still have Shaun from last year as well.

I only know of a couple, but they are for the U20s side. The draw kicks off on the 25th of March so I think trials would start late Feb.

Yeah I saw just after I posted. Any other news from around the traps? I've heard the BH have lost about 5-6 of their Fijian number due to visas, however as always with the Island Breeze group I think they will top those up with new players.

Nope, Eltham went undefeated in 14 and Geelong got up in 15.

Yeah Southy is a good coach, would be interesting to see what he could do with a DS side.

Sly left after about round 8 I thought, doubt he will be back.

Looks like Noni, the 2nd grade coach from last year, is taking the step up and coaching the 1sts at Box Hill.

Update from Moorabbin. Each of the Committee members have been assigned areas of responsibility in 2017 to ensure we are focused on improving across the whole Club. There are 4 pillars of management at the Club: 1. Rugby - lead by James King 2. Social and networking - lead by Lynda Taylor 3...

Heard the BH are looking for a new coach and that a couple of their older 1st grade players from the last couple of years might be taking over. The VRU have been thinking about dropping the comp to 7 or 8 teams to strengthen the sides, those players who want to play prem would move clubs to...

I was just about to start a new thread due to a lot of rumours happening all over the place for the 2017 season.

Haven't heard anything.

We do it on a local level. If a player if suspended by the VRU then the ban is still served if they decide to go and play league. Personally I think it's a good rule to have at the local level, but I can't see it being enforced at the professional level.

Same could be said for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s career.
