    Sydney Rays .. NRC Team Official Thread

    I hadn't, have seen his highlights real and the game 2 weeks ago - I'd pick Hingano - but still early. As for the rest of your post it is horses for courses and I'll use Lucas / Homes & Holmes / Porecki for an example.

    Sydney Rays .. NRC Team Official Thread

    You are wrong about liking the Manly side to run out, my concerns. Senior - Wells had a cracker of a game and should rightly retain the 6. Lucas - as per Wells and Holmes should be on the bench. Porecki - his loose game was suburb, and with regards to line outs have ago at the height in the...

    Sydney Rays .. NRC Team Official Thread

    yeah - i can only look at the Shute Shield For and Against and wonder. Matty Lucas - not half - you have to be kidding. Maile & / or Sef serious. Bergo & Porecki - well that'll do me.

    So do I, you would have seen on the ABC games that it's the community - kids and families that got behind the Marlins and enjoyed the Saturday afternoon. I'll get to the games but wish there was more afternoon rugby.

    Sydney Rays .. NRC Team Official Thread

    Agree yes, depending on game plan and opposition with mobile loosies he created considerable havoc, a game plan can be built on this as it can draw the inside backs and create space with quick 3rd or 4th phase ball. but yes he needs to be able to throw a pass off the ground and this needs to be...

    Sydney Rays .. NRC Team Official Thread

    I'd have picked Lucas for the Marlins in their tilt for the premiership - but - Swanny is still a class player. Rugby is a team sport that requires combos - take Beale for example, a heap of class and finished off the Super season playing well in 12 - stick him in at 10 and he's like a soldier...

    This is so easily said, but harder to implement. Rays have juniors playing at oranges, and I have seen kids running around in other NRC games. Kids get in free get the schools to send kids along to support their class mates and parents follow. NRC teams would need to engage the schools but that...

    Agreed, talk about it, and share thoughts about it - it will grow, we've had 2 rounds.

    Sydney Rays .. NRC Team Official Thread

    My back line would be very one eyed, and with only one fame played it would be unfair to pass judgement as we played against a team that have trained as super players for a large part of the year. Some of my thoughts. Maile, Northam - they'd be in my team. Given Aust u20s and having time in...

    Manly 2014

    I believe he came as a hooker, but the early injury to Jimmy a Gentle, and injuries to other props he stepped up, and had an awesome season.

    Yeah, turtle and brownie, brownie gets reward for the taking 2s to the tittle. Tim Faibrother and Ross Reynolds also have gigs that have a special name.

    Yes interesting, first and only game and combos new - Manly had the best D all year but no Manly combos there. We were sort of in it until the changes (on the score board), looking forward to Thursday night.

    I will be. Yes kids are free, but 7 and 9 year olds on Thursday night don't go. The Saturday arvo games whether Shute, NRC, Super, Tests have proven to be succesful but we plug away with fox to increase exposure - dinner Saturday night with guys that enjoy rugby, they'd heard about the NRC...

    The banks said cost of funds are going up so they have to increase rates - mean while profits increase - from rate margin and fees. But they still put a spin on it. Yeah i like rugby but it feels like the season is over; Wobs just leaked 50. Struggle to find a game to go to so i stupidly paid...

    Because the ARU are treating both as 3rd tier. A huge bridge, and to big to even compare - but the NRL and AFL are using the club comp to maximise the profile of their code. People have heard of the Shute Shield, know of Super Rugby, but still havent even heard of the NRC.

    National Rugby Championship 2014

    I think the talent is there with the The NSW teams, it shouldn't be missed that they didn't have a preseason that consisted of Super Rugby training. They will come together.
