You don't get to play the final if you lose your "easier" games.

I would have thought this is the very definition of underdone. Of the 8 starters that you mention,how many will play a full game? 40 odd minutes is not much to get your timing back,for the start of the season.

my only criticism of Gill,is that he didn't give the ranga 9 the biggest thrashing of his life.

I'm with the Baron. Funding for an amenities block,or lighting for a multi purpose oval is great. Millions to upgrade a stand or build a hall of fame,not so much.

It's not the pricing of regos village clubs that is the problem for the game,it's the ARU's unsustainable business model,whereby they budget for year on year losses,and get by on surpluses from BL tours etc. They have always been heavily reliant upon volunteers,but up to this point of time have...

I think he will need to play in the SS every week,to try and fast track his education. We might be in a bit of trouble if the ranks thin out to the level that he gets a jumper this year.

Don't take it the wrong way,but not everyone that plays Rugby are from your demographic. The Northern Beaches is a reasonably affluent area,but I am confident that every village club,has players on their books that can't afford rego fees. Pricing is a real factor IMO. Rugby League is rarely...

I reckon KHunt would have looked very impressive if he was running the ball back into the Reds defence last night. I think he will prove to be a good signing,assuming he stays healthy.

Next week will be tougher again. Not sure if it's smart to start Duncan next week. When you have to sink or swim,there are often casualties. If he is on a multi year contract,I would be easing him in at the back end of a few games to try and build confidence.

Yeah,it was a great day out there. Tell Belly2b to junk that fucking computerised cash register,it slowed down the line in the canteen by a fair margin. Apart from that minor whinge,it was well run day with a good vibe. The offerings from some of the stalls were interesting. The Parra boys went...

I reckon that will get dad a run in Dismal's team in that other thread. He is assembling quite literally a killer pack! Makes those wife bashing drunk drivers from the other code look like girlie boys....

All 3?

I saw a schedule for the day. IIRC first game in the Willie O cup is 9am,then anothe @ 10.40. Tah's play their first trial @ 1pm,then after the 3rd trial ,the final 2 games in the Willie O cup are played. No idea when/how the player signings will be organised. The weather/lack of cover has...

There is no need to be like that,I could just as easily said that I find it amusing that people expect players to be able the fend off inside defenders when trying to put someone on their outside into the open. Of course,we could also be amused that some don't realise that the the fact that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)...

I was a bit surprised when you first made that point,but on reflection there is a bit in what you say. I'm not sure whether it was noticeable because he was more closely marked in his second year,or because he started to offload a lot more last year. Obviously you are harder to tackle if you...

What time is the trial? Can you only watch it live,or will it be on their website for a week or so? I am in need of a Rugby fix,and not sure if I can get to the Tahs v SS trials.

No he won't,but if a rookie lock excels in the 2015 season, he is a great chance I reckon.

No,no,no,no,no! I reckon it's a great jumper,and represents each entity really well. If it has to be changed,maybe a green and white jumper would suffice?

I didn't make it all the way to the end,but that was a flog,not a blog.

The point is,it appears the only area they have targeted is the grassroots,which is a neglible part of their expenses.but it is a major part of their customer base. It does not help things at all if by reducing your expenses by $3M,you lose $2-3M in income because you have pissed off your...
