I have a saying - no one is above the game. If we stick to a theme like that, and work together the game will be lifted higher. I'm concerned some one is trying to be above the game (Rays in this case) and it's being pushed, squashed and damaged. It is important to note that the biggest...

Further to yesterday's post. Sione Ala gets picked, as I said he'd struggle to get out of Manly 3rds. I mentioned first grader Harry Jones but forgot to include he's good enough to be with the Tahs training squad(but not Rays?). That is no conspiracy, it is fact, and there are a number of...

Why wouldn't you select a first grade winger who also played for the Rays last year plus Aust 20s this year? BJ in my eyes and "EARS" is more odd and raises questions

I'll bite - and i hope the fish follow my example and are on the chew tomorrow. Were did i say a second grader should be picked in the Rays NRC team. I said a particular player, maybe more would struggle to get out of Manly's third grade team - and provided players names to substantiate my...

We need more of this sort of thinking - that would be awesome. What is wrong with putting something like that out there, and building on it. Yes there would be losers, I.e. - I like getting to the oval to hopefully watch 4 grades - that would be hard. It is the lower grades that are often the...

I need help with some positions, and some are a tie. 1. Jed Gillespie (Woodies) 2. Hugh Roach (Woodies) / David Porecki (MMM) 3. 4. Ed Gower (MMM) most posters said he carried Manly on his own 5. 6. Kieran Black (Hobbits) 7. Kotoni Ale (MMM) - form 7 until injury 8. Jed Holloway (Hobbits)...

That's always a very hard, and open question in a team sport. Looking from the top down, I'm not sure that they in seat the players in Manlys first or second grade. Manlys third grade baffled me - on paper that was a very strong side, I reckon they could have won the comp - was it because so...

Thinking it was your first paragraph, almost positive I'll check later but I'm sure I was told his next game of rugby was going to be against Romania.

I thought I heard that Cecil Hilterbrand was going back to Scotland. He's listed with Rays, is Scotland short term?

Cheers Aussie - just sharing my concerns. Props - we don't have an abundant supply of them. One of the strongest clubs in the Shute Shield that alone just the Rays 4 for teams - loosing 3 props, from a club that did rather well. Huge concern. Pathway for the NSW teams - I'm not sure that the...

Fuck so am TWAS glad you agree with me - Wallabies don't pick 5 players from each super team to keep each franchise content, they pick the best team. I'm sick of hearing the word quota, as you say it should be best team. With 35 players in a squad there are some occasions / positions were a...

Aussie, you know I value your contributions, and we can both share different views that are possibly right in their respective ways. The reality is NRC is a step up from Shute, and it is professional. We must have best team on the park every game. As you have suggested, and I have eluded...

Poor reflection on Townsend - accurate? Reality / Coaching check required, Mr Townsend why is Hill with Rays and why are we loosing such important talent.

Johnno - yeah it worked me up a little. I thinking / hearing - Townsend promised a player a position, and it's had a domino effect, one of those Domino's being Feltscheer possibly being moved to the wing as the dominos fall and this has possibly had an effect on Grass Roots local Harry Jones...

HJ and Alex Zip Northam, Hooper. I have had another team on my radar of late. So I don't look one eyed, I have to ask how and why did this happen? This will no doubt ruffle some feathers but i have to think it is because of a coach, and also that coaches selections and some sort of quota from...

3 Marlins props for the Country boys - must have some depth at the Marlins

Blended a couple of threads here, and just winding back the posts a bit on the Shute 2015 thread. Now the season has finished I'll chip in a little. People questioned Sam Lane's D - I never had an issue with it, I didn't speak up because I was quite happy for teams to concentrate on his...

After 18 rounds of rugby 1 point separated their defensive record - reflected the tightness of the game. Attach is a little different was Woods played Emus twice.

So it was Crescent Head & ??;)

& a bit more, pretty sure both teams; also went 18 & 3 this year Best attacking teams in the comp Best defending team in the comp Both teams played rugby to score tries yesterday, the D was just that good - and it was on FTA.
