from Randwicks web site, they beat souths

wicks 7 tries to souths 1, souths ran out off puff

what are their piggies like

Hellalujua! lets not beat clubs up for being successful. I mentioned Parra as an example - they have a HUGE potential demographic of rugby players and are battling along well. My point is that these potentially very fertile rugby areas just need more support than the Uni for obvious reasons. No...

Fair points Mr Merrick. I agree with the notion that success shouldn't be punished. The difficulty may be that, in other geographic areas, establishing a foundation to fund clubs (as an example) may be more difficult due to less $$$$ being available. For the greater good of rugby, those areas...

Totally agree. Rugby is a fun game (amongst other things). Perhaps that is why the ARU have not proceeded with the restructure.

sounds like the woodies will be a contender for the top spot this year if they have kept the nucleus of last years side

With respect Grievous , Randwick now seem to focus on a solid colts programme. They have copied the most successful club of recent times, Sydney Uni in that strategy. Am unaware of any subbies raiding by them. Perhaps the comp should be the 2 top grades and top colts being played together and...

I don't think Terence Hepetema is in the academies. Does anyone know the Under 20 team list?

Charlie Wakim is focussing on cricket and is playing in England ( I heard) . He is a big loss to Randwick.

do you know who ?

have heard that trials start this weekend. Uni play Nelson Bay. The following week Randwick start playing trials against Easts? (not sure)

INs OUTS & PREDICTIONS for 2012 2011 was close and unpredictable. Most teams could beat the others on their day and even Uni were vulnerable. Is 2012 going to be the same? Ay guesses as to who will be a force in 2012? Who has scored the new gun players?

Thanks also - I saw a few manly games and those guys were good

Very Interesting. I hear quite a few clubs are financially challenged. Of the Shute Shield Clubs - can you rank the quality of management or clubs that are well run down to the other end of the scale? that would be interesting.. also, what can these clubs do to raise funds? The ARU is allegedly...

Is Anaru Matthews playing anywhere this year?

Fair point. It would be interesting to see how many of the Colts actually study at Uni which is probably the point I was making. In any event, it standards set certainly create a benchmark.

fair enough. my point was that Sydney Uni students are not given preference to play for Sydney Uni rugby. My guess is that there is probably a fair number of Sydney Uni students playing their rugby elsewhere because they can't get a look in at Uni. Likewise, Sydney Uni does not have too many...

are any of the colts good enough to play grade for the wicks in 2012?

or the boy who studies at sydney uni, couldn't get a training run let alone a game with Uni, then went to play its grade colts all year for Randwick. He is changing Universities not rugby clubs though.
