Great news! He's certainly still got a lot to offer based on the playoff game against Wests this year.

I think Jim went to Souths at the same time as Alan Wright (2nds coach) but came back after only 1-2 years. He's been working with kids in Redfern area for some time I believe.

Apparently the licenced club was actually borrowing money from the football club's trust fund. The football club gets its money from the same place most of the other clubs do ie sponsors etc. There aren't many clubs left that have their own profitable licenced club ie Souths, Easts...

In brief, the licenced club went broke and the premises were sold earlier this year. The new owners then leased the club back at a peppercorn rent until the end of September. The notice below has been posted on the website: NOTICE TO MEMBERS It is with regret that I confirm that the Randwick...

I thought that S15 players were exempt from this rule as long as they are registered with the club ie it is assumed that they would have played the required number of games had they not been required by their S15 teams. Is that not the case?

I wonder what happened with Livingstones televised competition which he said was almost ready to roll about this time last year?

Gee, I'm amazed that Penrith could afford to pay a player $20k a year. Maybe Aho was prepared to lose that to try to get a S15 contract or a lucrative contract in France and maybe he thought his chances of achieving that was improved by playing at another club. He of course is now playing in...

It would certainly make the point! But Uni would still have finished 3rd if all clubs forfeited to them and would still end up being premiers if that was carried on into the finals ;) There have been many suggestions to reform the points system and most are worth consideration, but there...

Yes, it will. Randwick lost a couple of players at the start of this year to Subbies when they announced there would be no payments. Unless the ban extends to the Subbies it's inevitable that players will move if they need / want the money.

Couple of ex Wicks players in the Kentwell Cup GF this Saturday, both playing for Balmain: John Fonokalafi (hooker) Finau Makamaka (centre)

I didn't realise drinking beer and shiraz were mutually exclusive! Well done 2 blues!

All "other players" (ie non rep etc) are allocated 2 points and this is discounted 1 point per year at the club, either in grade, colts, or junior U11 to U17. So the zero points players may have been with the colts for 3 years without having played as a junior and be discounted to zero points.

I not sure you're interpreting the points totals correctly. The slightly higher points total for the Wicks was because they had 9 players in their 1st year at the club (ie 2 points each), 1 player who played 50% 1st grade colts last year and 2 schoolboy reps from 2012. Uni had 4 players with...

He missed the whole year with (I think) a groin injury.

I believe there were a number of reasons for moving from the SFS: (1) 2,000 people in a stadium with 45,000 capacity = zero atmosphere (2) the cost of hire which I'd assume would be huge compared to Concord (3) there was also a problem with the Trust only allowing 2 grades to be played on the...

Surely everyone knows that beer was invented to stop props from taking over the world ;)

For example, the discounted on-line tickets to tomorrow's GF which are actually more expensive than paying at the gate!
