I think the current laws are fine (though the scrums should be brought closer together prior to the hit and the ball fed into the centre of the tunnel) the problem IMHO is the adjudicating and lack of yellow cards. If I were to change any law it would be to have players able to receive multiple...

Not sure if this is the thread but would love to see Pulver re-institute the Australian Rugby Shield with a couple of extra teams - Sydney (Combined Subbies), Brisbane (Combined Subbies), ACT (players not contracted to the Brumbies) and Combined Services. Playing it post season would be good and...

Save it for its own thread Galah.

As Lily so eloquently put it - this is not the thread for third tier discussion. If you have a look at the Rugby Discussion thread you are sure to find a plethora of threads on this topic where what you have proposed has been discussed ad nauseam.

From: http://www.espnscrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/182286.html I know it is pie cart but this was apparently said in an interview. If it is true that he went to watch the Manly game today hopefully he will have learnt that there already exists an excellent developmental competition (with 2...

So their contract did not run until the next AGM which happened to be last week. Surely beginning a new 3 year term is a new contract? p.s. not trying to have a go at you personally TOCC just really upset at the poor level of governance apparent in the ARU at present and the future...

Three Year terms? Elected Unopposed? Why are the directors of the ARU on three year terms. Should be 1 year. If this report had been released to stakeholders earlier I wonder if they would have been elected unopposed.

Marquee spot has been filled for 2014 by Mathewson. Pity though as he would've been a great pick-up for the Force.

I'd swap JO'C and Morahan around. Rabbit would warrant to much money to be played on the wing at super level (he has played rugby and is not a league convert - who normally play on the wing for huge amounts of money).

Maybe even the Saffa teams as well! :)

As we seem to have strayed from the original topicinto another thread about 3rd teir concepts here is my 2c: 10 teams - WA, Vic, Canberra, Top 2 Shute Shield (minor premiers and premiers if they are the same than the runners up gets the gig), a 3rd Sydney team made up of players from the...

Not sure where else to put this so thought here might work best. From Greg Growden on ESPN: Haven't seen or heard this announced anywhere. Will he follow JO'N to ECHO? Seems to follow him everywhere else he goes. The bold bit, if it proves true (tis from GG after all) should make our own...

KNow how you feel Scoey, I finished playing at the end of '09 due to a shoulder injury I picked up midway through the season (I never had the unfortunate circumstance ofinjury entering the pitch as I knew my body well enough to spend 5 minutes stretching before even thinking about breaking into...

Horwitz? Hopefully they will go with Saifoloi (sp?) from Southern Districts as he looked the goods last year and was one of 5 players from memory in line for an EPS spot before it was given to his clubmate Volavola. Is he the one you were alluding to Hawko or did you mean the Warringah player...

I thought 'servo' for a nickname, as in his initials BP. Possibly even 'scoutmaster' as in Baden Powell..... (maybe that is even more obscure than the 'ensign' nickname')

Has there been any announcements / speculation over who will take over from Nuci? Last I heard was a Foxsports article saying Link could do it (which also quoted Link saying he didn't want the job). Hopefully Bill P will make an announcement about the process over the coming week or so.

My 6 year old will be playing rugby this year for my old club. Didn't register him last Saturday as it was too wet but rang through and put his name down. Will register him this weekend. Looking forward to helping out at training and hoping he loves the game as much as I do.

Kaleb Rech will be a huge loss for Parramatta as I really rated his play from the games I saw on ABC last year. His passing really got their backline going. Any word on whether he is in line for higher honours as he is only young?

Bill Pulver should forget schoolboy rugby and leave them to their own devices and concentrate all of the ARU's efforts on growing junior club rugby. IMHO private schoolboy rugby will look after themself (always have done) without ARU interference and by increasing junior participation in club...

From http://www.rugby.com.au/News/NewsArticle/tabid/1699/ArticleID/8201/Default.aspx I like the first line of his vision and the fact he has spent time on the frontlines (through the Mosman club) at grassroots level, this will hopefully help to 'future proof' the game through improved...
