Adam D'Arcy was in the NSW Pro Academy in 2010. He has not secured a S15 contract. I assume that NSW have retained him in their academy but I am not sure that the academy positions have been announced. Ed Brenac must be pushing 30 now. I think he was a great player in 2007 but his best...

The action taken on the field is not relevant to the citing process. A citing officer cites a player when he feels a red card should have been issued. Therefore he can be cited when the player has been penalised or when he receives a YC or even when it is missed altogether. The citing process...

I believe he was selected on the Brumbies French tour last year but got injured the week before the tour.

The citing official would most likely have reviewed it at the ground after the match and then decided that it was not a red card offence. Schmoo was not cited. He got an automatic date with the judiciary because he was red carded. I can say the Woodcock incident was not as serious in the...

Yes, JB, that is exactly what I am saying. But it is not in line with the thinking of the referee fraternity.

No, the judiciary is there to deal with incidents that should have been red-carded. There is currently no mechanism for retrospective yellow cards. I was trying to infer that neck injuries don't actually occur that much at scrums but when neck inury stats are reviewed, it is assumed that...

IMO he should have been yellow carded but not cited or suspended - this would be an over-reaction and would create a difficult precedent for other illegal clean-outs (although I will acknowledge that this was not an attempted clean-out). I don't understand why more people aren't saying that he...

I don't understand your point - isn't this the Gordon Shute Shield team that are coming 2nd last?

I think there is something worng with those stats. Bower couldn't have 37 tries in 15 or so games in a side that is struggling. I looked at First Grade and those stats don't look right as they are different to the Club Rugby program.

I am thinking of heading to Newington and Scots. Which players are worth having a look at?

Is there any press on Holies re-signing? I haven't seen it and you would think they would issue a press release when they re-sign their captain. Can Brumby Jack help?

Lee, if you are looking for a veteran as an emergency player for S15 at flyhalf, then I don't believe there is one in Sydney club rugby this year. A player who would still be under 25 but has previously been in an Academy program and has much first grade experience is Dan Kelly from Uni. He...

I like Bernard Foley from 2009 Uni Colts and 2010 Aust Sevens. However I would like to see him play some first grade before signing him up. Definitely not Harvey - I would take Gamegee before Harvey. I don't mind Jai Ayoub but he is far too small for S15.

Interestingly Sipa is still on the Brumbies website while other leaving players like Mafi have been removed.

For mine, the Colts standard in Sydney is down significantly on last year. Sydney Uni are nowhere near as strong. For mine, the 2009 Uni, Souths, Easts and Manly teams would win the 2010 competition.

I understand that Gamgee was dropped by Manly last year for a very young Ben Seymour as Manly lost their way at the end of last season - I think they lost their last 5 or 6 games. Ignoring his age, I would be interested too see if you have the same opinion of him in the 2nd half of the year...

currently playing 2nd grade at Easts. I think he has been at 13 with Harry Bennett playing 15.

SD#8 is Ita Vaea - in Brumbies academy this year. I think he has been Souths best player. Manly Prop - do you mean Salesi Manu from Aust U20 or Eddie Aholelei?

Why did they let Alcock go?

Who are their 26 players? Have Hoiles and Kimlin re-signed? Holies seemed to be off to Melb before their CEO exited? Has he now signed for the Brumbies?
