ROUND SIX: Aggies (4) v CSU (2) @ Beres Ellwood +10 MATCH OF THE ROUND Bragging rights on campus are on the line this week as the two Uni sides battle it out in what will be a very willing match this week. Aggies were brought back to earth last week and will be out to make amends for some...

Advantage must be given to the team moving forward, if the ball carrier is under pressure, then let the tackler release and then go for the ball. If the ball carrier dominates the contact, he should have every opportunity to play his options. Just because the tackle is dominant doesn't give...

I agree with the way the referees are being tough on this area. Essentially, it comes fown to a technique issue in that the players who "fall" on the opposition side of the ruck/tackle and get "caught" in that area are generally there to slow the ball down. Players generally only listen to the...

I wonder why Pollock doesn't get a gig in either round?

Round 14 looks like a better round than Round 13 for referees. How does Bryce Lawrence get appointed?

ROUND FIVE RESULTS: CSU 57 bt Leeton 13 Tahs 39 bt Griffith 12 Temora 70 bt RARC 3 Albury 39 bt Aggies 18 Tumut 22 bt Young 15 City 52 bt Coota 17 How about that Albury Aggies result? I expected it to be closer than that!

ROUND FIVE: This is a really exciting round this week as there are some great matchups across the board. Albury v Aggies is easily match of the round while at the other end of the spectrum, we have Temora v RARC fighting for points as well as the mid-table clash between Coota and City. CSU...

The human centipede is just plain wrong.

It's a shame that Pat Lam will bow out this way, he obviously puts in 100% and is committed to his role with the Blues. The Blues have had a terrible season so far but I don't think that Pat Lam deserves to go because of the poor on field performances put in by the players. He might be a...

LG the 10m offside at a kick is no longer a "10m circle" but a 10m zone across the field as per ARU GMG 2012. The move away from the 10m circle was done away with in order to deal with those players wide of the kick who would advance from an offside position, denying attacking options by...

Of all the commentators going around, Rod Kafer and Justin Marshall have the better law (and game) knowledge. I haven't watched too many if the SA games so can't really comment on them. Phil Kearns and Co bag out Greg Martin for being a qualified referee, but I reckon as commentators, they...

I think Pollock is one of the better refs running around at that level, he appears to have a good rapport with the players and generally makes good decisions. Not sour grapes from the Brumbies game is it Hawko?

That's bad news frontrowfien, I hope he is ok.

My advice to AR's (at finals time when we're lucky enough to have them and be mic'd up) is that less is best when it comes to chat. I ask them to manage offside and foul play (get a colour and a number if they have something to report), they are responsible for touch and leave the rest of it up...

Interesting article in the Griffith Area News today. Thankyou to the Human Skewer for passing that one on.

I like this idea Lindo and will be bringing this up with my local association. However, with the advent of LASER TECHNOLOGY and with the dawning of the technological age, I suggest all referees be equipped with the Lufkin LCL4 as per attached image. The LCL4 is a self levelling laser and...

ROUND FOUR: Griffith (8) v CSU (3) Hopefully Griffith can rustle up some more players at home this week in an effort to get their season moving in the right direction. CSU Coach Cannon Banks blasted his boys after their sleepy effort against RARC last week and he will be keen for Reddies to...

CSU UNVEILS NEW PITCH Charles Sturt University have unveiled a"new" pitch at the uni, the new ground will be named "Beres Ellwood Oval +10" after it was discovered that the previous Beres Ellwood Oval had been 10m skinnier than it ought to be. The mistake was discovered when CSU and Aggies...
