Radike Samo went to Canberra from the Brisbane club competition. How many players from Queensland are in the Brumbies squad?

My only concern with Waugh is that as an openside he appears to be taking longer than most others to get to the breakdown.

My bad. I thought he grew up in Manly like his brother before going over to League before returning to rugby with the Brumbies.

Since when has Manly been a part of the ACT? The rest of them are definitely ACT produced.

One thing that has gone unsaid about these contract negotiations is that players are choosing between Australian rugby teams and not between Oz and Europe or League and Union. I am hoping this is the dawn of a new age for Oz rugby where we retain our best and next best players for longer in...

The only flaws I can see in that argument is what about the areas outside Sydney / Brisbane / Canberra that don't have established school comps. Places like the Central Coast, Newcastle and the Illawarra that are league heartlands and would struggle to fill one side for each grade? The other...

I thought this was an attempt by Growden to get people to do his work for him which was why he asked people to send their entrie to him and not the Waratahs who it was supposed to be for. If it was serious they could always go for Flower Girl.

Rumours are that Cips is leaving Melbourne to return to Europe so JO'C would be a natural successor for the 10 jumper (Gits syndrome?). Backline for Rebels could be: 9 Phipps 10 JO'C 11 Vuna 12 Mortlock 13 Inman 14 Sipa 15 Beale.

That last try was from a definite knock-on that was missed by the referee (according to all the league supporters surrounding me that is all that happens in rugby "all this game has is knock ons, forward passes and guys jumping all over each other" or words to that effect - I did try to educate...

A couple of ex-teammates of mine ended up playing for clubs up Singleton way. How are they looking for this year? Thanks for starting this thread by the way, keep up the posts on the NHRU thread as it is interesting for us down on the Coast to see how your comp is going. Also, can you give us a...

To get back on topic a little (we seem to be going down the old Shute Shield "this club stole my player" rants road again) but I would like to see a number of structural changes made to our junor development model. 1. Revert to the old weight-based grading system where you play against players...

"No f^%$ing way until all clubs can consistently field teams in all three grades and 13-19s" is how I would approach it. The Central Coast is rugby league heartland which I am reminded of on a daily basis therefore sponsorship money is hard to come by, especially with the Mariners being so...

Whatever club is the nearest club would be the best one to play for. As Gooch said there are some really strong clubs and some struggling clubs. If you live around The Entrance (my former club I will admit) for example then I know they would love to have more players to help strengthen them and...

Gosford don't look very strong this year as they normally do going by results so far (only early I admit). When I read that Carlisle was captain / coaching I scratched my head as I thought only my club was silly enough to still do that as it went by the wayside 20 years ago, Derwin was the last...

Avoca by 20. Can't see Gosford getting close. Ourimbah have been building nicely the past couple of years (think they made the semis last year) but I think they are one or two class players short of being a genuine title threat. Woy Woy are the team that I think needs watching (not just because...

A huge upset with Ourimbah knocking over Kariong on the weekend. Interesting results for Warnervale this year so far - a draw with the Rams in round one and restricting Gosford to less than 50 in round two (for those who may be perusing the thread not from the Coast there is a clear divide in...

That is a big win, especially considering it is the derby game as they are usually close. Avoca looking good early in the year to make it 7 in a row.

Retired now. I played with the Rams off-and-on for 18 years though with one year at Northlakes. I started a CC Rugby thread over on grassroots as there seems to be a few ex-Coasties on here. Mark S is an ex-Condom and Mad Mozzie played for Gosford.

Will that include the S15 strength Sydney Uni in September?
