Really,I thought it was only surf boat rowers that could be outsmarted by a brick?

What's in for me makes the world go round. It's one thing to ask the clubs to shoulder the burden of the new comp. It's another to shoulder the burden,whilst much stronger clubs on the field,do not.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic? Thought you guys lost one or two you need to keep,and re signed 1/2 dozen that needed to be shot. Where are you on the ladder again?

Haven't been looking closely at Reds injuries. Are these forced selections,or is the coach giving the youngsters a run, to see what he's got? Or both?

No swimmers in your classes FF (Folau Fainga'a)?

Isn't he just another risk averse coach,with a penchant for size?

Fark,Dave. 2+ hours to the Riff? Are you pushing your car or driving it?

What about Penrith & Parra as a good example. They each stump up $75k as their share of funding for the Rams.Eastwood spend their $75k on upgrading their training facilities. They each supply 4 or 5 players to the Rams,and Eastwood supply 12. Next year those 12 Woodies players stay at TG Milner...

I think the rationale behind the selection of grounds,was more about neutral venues than anything else. I happen to live on the Northern beaches,and public transport from there to Chatswood is no better than your example.North Sydney Oval is marginally better. When you have 4 partners from...

You ever been to a night game at North Sydney oval? Bring your night vision goggles.

He has a right to feel aggrieved. The club had a fundraiser for one of his team mates a few years before that. On his way home from training,he hit a house with his car,fortunately no one was hurt. Unfortunately the insurance wouldn't cover it,something about being over the limit... It must be...

I think as time moves on,the players will move to SS clubs based on opportunities available in the new tier.

The purpose of the comp according to the ARU is to develop players. The purpose behind clubs tossing in big wads of cash that they don't have,is to develop THEIR players. Especially in the first year,I would imagine most clubs are spending their time trying to fit all of the players under their...

Yeah,effectively Eastwood players will be left out IMO. For example,let's look at the centres,who are arguably the best pairing in the SS comp. Parra have the big dude,wests have 3 who have played,or they think are on the cusp of Soup footy,so they won't be upsetting anyone to chase them. The...

Why does a SS club elect to participate? I am sure everyone is projecting a loss. If for example Parra is going to tip in say $50k,why would they want to develop a group of Eastwood players? Wouldn't they prefer to give an extra 3 or 4 of their own players the opportunity?

You need to pay more attention,or understand that Penrith & Norths are not Soup standard. Look at his run when he was injured last week. 20 metres to the right,one metre forward. That's an U 10's line,not someone above the grade they are currently playing. He is lucky Eastwood have pulled out...

Well, let's look at the options. Rays: no chance of them picking up a woodies player. Randwick/country: less chance Uni Balmain:No chance Who's left? Oh that's right,but they just flipped them the bird,so not a high chance. Tell me who you think might get picked up,and by whom?

QC (Quade Cooper) will be in his ninth year as a pro footballer. He is a member of the leadership group in the squad. If he behaves poorly in 2015, it is down to him,no one else. Edit: Remembering that when they were team mates previously,QC (Quade Cooper) was a disaffected member of that squad. It is completely the...

They could very well end up missing out entirely. I assume that most/all franchises are looking at the NRC to develop their players. If you are budgeting to lose money in the comp,why would you develop another clubs players,unless you saw it as a recruitment tool?

I see you are confused again old timer. This is the Rugby forum,not the grammar forum. Have you actually been to a game that he has played in,this year? Or does your carer limit your Rugby viewing to the ABC?
