Pete - if you look at the Two Blues website, there are a stack of photos from this week's training session. There is a wild haired fella with Randwick shorts on who I recognise from the Wick's first grade team...

Agree belly, Wests do make a profit and I'm currently putting an article together on the finances of all the Shute shield clubs. It will make for interesting reading.

Belly, I dearly hope that you are right. If that is the case why have no announcements been made? Can you imagine the positive effect on club rugby, rugby in the west and rugby in general if Israel played for the Two Blues?

Barbarian - I do wonder whether Division 3 will now be seen as an acceptable Div for the social clubs who have a lot of players to field 4 grades and colts. Previously it was a bit a questionable comp ( as was Div 2 once) but now I potentially see it as quite a good one in years to come.

Good result for the Tahs and in this town any excuse to talk up a code / club is a good thing. QLD currently at 24,252 so a long way to go. Will be nice to have bigger crowds at the games.

I am also curious as to why Barker Old Boys are considered cannon fodder in Division 2 after being relegated from Division 1. This is a team who on their day beat Drummoyne...They will have some good depth in 2013 - Division 1 really is a big step up from Div 2 so Balmain should do ok with their...

Inside Shoulder - How are Kobbies looking this year? We at BOBs are coming down to Div 2(again...) and notice you guys found the drop quite a tough one. Div 1 can be a brutal one for clubs that dont really have the resources and structure to compete, so BOBS are putting a lot in to ensure 2013...

Gordon appear to have sorted out their boardroom issues with the appointment of 5 new board members, signed a new major sponsorship arrangement with UTS ( to compete with Uni) and the sale of their licenced club with provide a substantial debt clearance and an annual grant. I hear they are...

Tahs at 7912. Reds at 22,597. Tahs will come close to 10,000 which will be a nice improvement on last year but is still far to low. Any idea on Rebels, Force and Brumbies?

I must say as a Tahs member, the value for money for a lions ticket near halfway for about 50 bucks is sensational. I'll let the corporates pay for the homebush tix, but for me it's the Tahs tour game. Deadest a game at the Sfs will be a wonderful experience and hopeful a financial windfall for...

Barker old boys to be a force in division 2 after being relegated again. Balmain will find div 1 harder than they think. Newport have recruited some Fijian firepower I hear. If only subbies could promote the under 85 kg comp properly, theynwouldnhave a truckload of teams. New rugby now provide...

Hearing about randwick pinching emus players does my head in. Seriously wicks, develop your own players FFs. By the way I hear manly marlins just posted a profit of 200k for this year which gives the sea eagles a run for their money. Gordon are also dusting off the old foundation which is...

Sorry guys. I've just entered this post late. Did I read that the rebels are playing a trial vs the crusaders in Singapore?

Gordon's boardroom spat looks like it is over with a full board now running the club. I think they had three last year. There is apparently a big focus on colts this year so no doubt they'll have the numbers.

There's an under 19 academy squad in new? Glad to hear it...

Pardon my ignorance, but does that mean one more or one less team as compared to last year. Not sure I could take any more bad rugby news tonight. How are participation numbers in vic going at present?

I hear that the Mark Hartill and friends of Gordon) led ticket was appointed to the board. The appears to be through mediation, some sort of truce and a united front for Gordon has occurred. I understand that UTS are the new jersey sponsor and there is a massive colts push. Not sure re the...

As a sydneysider with clients in Newcastle, I love the vibrancy and history of the local rugby scene. That new stadium looks very nice indeed. I cannot believe the mangos and soccer zealots are trying to move in to something that the rugby community has built. I love the Hawthorne club and the...

Reffing!!!!!

That would be riffing Ozzie bob
