So true, unlike the Waratahs.

How's that resting players plan going guys?;) As I said, the height of arrogance from a team which has no reason to be arrogant about anything. Got what it deserved. One of the first lessons I learnt in sport was to respect your opponent.

Diversity is a wonderful thing. We're very proud of it at Newington. THERE ARE 31 DIFFERENT countries of birth for the parents of our Year 7 boys THERE ARE 11 FAITHS or religious denominations in addition to 'not stated' or 'no religion' who make up our College community OUR BOARDERS COME...

150 years of Newington rugby in 2019. 1st game of rugby ever played in Australia v Sydney University 1st inter-school game ever played in Australia v Kings Big celebrations planned for the Kings v Newington game at Parramatta in the AAGPS season.

Not sure if he was ever Riverview Director of Rugby, he was 15 years as Principal of St Augustine's and 10 years as Deputy at St Edmond's in Canberra.

We only beat these guys by a point a couple of weeks ago, it's a bit arrogant talking about resting players IMO.

I couldn't help but notice that there hasn't been an announcement about the SCG crowd last Saturday night. This is normally a sign that less than 10,000 attended a Waratahs game. RECENT ATTENDANCES CROWD DATE...

Quite possibly correct. To which I'd add that there is a significant population of people of Tongan and Samoan heritage in Sydney. So much so that the code of conduct for the Penrith Junior RL is in 3 languages; English, Tongan and Samoan. I have been advocating for some time that PI teams be...

Think you'll find that the business case for knock-down and rebuild is compelling in comparison to the refurbishment option. (my bold) The refurbishment option returns a financial result which is significantly inferior to those of the redevelopment options. In an average year, the...

Correct, which is why out of an $89 billion infrastructure budget, the government is spending $8 billion on new schools, $6.8 billion on hospitals (including one on the northern beaches), $51.2 billion on rail and road projects, $5.6 billion on water and sewage projects compared with much less...

Are you sure that's not the glasses that you're wearing? :):):)

And let's not forget the number of interstate and international visitors that come to sporting events and spend money, some of which is then collected in taxes. Every other state capital has rebuilt it's sporting grounds since 1988 and events just won't come to Sydney to a ground which is...

I live on the northern beaches too and for decades people here have complained about governments not spending money on the area. The government closes two dilapidated hosptials and opens a brand new state of the art one and people still complain. To take your argument a step further...

Actually, long term it isn't. $714 million to refurbish and bring it up to the required safety standards as opposed to $728 million for a complete rebuild.

Unless there's a fire, or you're a female trying to use one of the 48 female cubicles in a crowd of 40,000, or a disabled person wanting to go to an event at which there's only 28 wheelchair accessible seats in the ground.

Nobody with any sense would fund the NRC in its current form. The fact that anyone is willing to spend the fumes of an oily rag on it suggests that some people aren't very smart with money.

Absolutely.

Hmm, a 'secret' report which was published two years ago as part of a parliamentary report. Sensational headline, but "After an exhaustive and detailed process Infrastructure NSW (INSW) valued a refurbishment of the SFS at $714.5 million and a rebuild at $729 million. INSW also identified...

You could this about almost all super games involving Australian teams.

I think I'm safe in saying that JH won't be playing rugby for the Woodies, so the outraged may have to find another outlet for their angst.:)
