^^^ and on the subject of TG Milner, it is being reported that Jed Gillespie has finished with the Rebels and is on his way back to Sydney, and, it is assumed, the Woodies. https://www.facebook.com/harlequinmelbourne?fref=ts...

I thought part of the franchise arrangements locked down during the tender process last year was that the "owners" were sufficiently financial stable that they could afford to lose a motza or two.

What were you expecting? My take on your letter was that you were advising them that you want to resign your Reds Membership, and in advising them of such you pointed out some of the factors behind your decision to regrettably resign. You have communicated a fait accompli to them and at best...

With the Waratahs 3 year plan to win a Super trophy taking 19 years to come to fruition, I can understand the rationale behind RG thinking he is going to need more time to to get the Reds where they need to be. I do not understand the arrogance, delusional thinking, or alternate reality that...

@Blackie, go back a few more years than the 2013 Country under 17's, but keep the cohort. Look at the Country Zone Teams from the 2008 Under 13 and 2007 Under 12 State Champs. This will pick up all names of the Country JRU boys from that cohort before then went to the big city boarding...

Re Australian team to play Scotland: Jack Mack carrying the Kicking Tee. Jack Redden running the water. Good to see that one of the emergency paratroopers getting a gig on the pine at #21. Having dropped everything to get over to Italy post haste, you would want to at least get some pine...

^^^ Hasn't the season for the Reds already ended? RG was contracted to provide services until the end of the 2015 season. The job is currently vacant with no one currently contracted to provide coaching services to QRU Ltd for the 2016 season. No redundancies, no sackings, no fuss...

It is my understanding that TG Milner was bequeathed to some entity provided it remained used solely (or primarily) for rugby. If that entity is not the Eastwood Rugby Club and its heirs and successors, then who is it? If it is not Eastwood rugby club then it would be something like a...

Welcome aboard Rod. The Selection Trial games are being wanged on about in this thread: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/nsw-schools-trial-games-and-selections-2015.15259/page-7 Timings for Friday's AAGPS vs CHS (and others) games are: Friday 19 June 2015 (Knox Grammar...

With the better players from High seeming to chuck their hat in the ring for CHS selection, and only about 3 or 4 from TAS and Grammar being of AAGPS representative standard, most of the 1st XV competition AAGPS Schools (6 x 1st XVs = 90 players) should be looking to get 10 or more players into...

I'll have a go, but unfortunately I can't name exclusive NSW replacements. When Gold is involved I try to rise above the Festival of Hate. Front row. I reckon Alex Mafi or Ed Craig (in that order) should have been on the bench as a #2. The starters are probably as good as we have got. Vunipola...

Um, Not entirely correct. It was one of your acquaintances from the Eastwood club (@Sideline Eye) that said "the vast majority" not you. Speaking of player outflows, the club who's logo you proudly display on your screen, and Penrith probably suffer more than Woodies when it comes to...

Would be nice to have some of these roosters available for the Under 20's @Rugby Reg, but I think the authorities may be on to us and ask to see proof of age.

Woodies, Emus, Mighty 2 Blues, and Pirates all have home games. Great promotional opportunities to roster some of the "names" to those games to promote Rugby outside the East and lower North Shore. How many kids would turn up to Merrylands RSL park if they knew that Israel F, Tatafu P-N, and...

The NSW Waratahs have a week off. What are the chances that we may see a few of them of them turning out for their clubs in Round 13? If not playing then an appearance on the sidelines would be good. Perhaps even roster some to attend club games in the bush. How about having a NSW Waratahs...

Is John Mitchell still in SAF? What is he doing?

At least Cape Town is at sea level, and the Ponies aren't having to deal with a game on the highveld as well as jet lag. While it is not 1700 metres ASL, being acclimatised to life at 600 metres ASL may give the Ponies a slight aerobic advantage when playing at sea level. I think that they...

Careful describing the colour of snow. Didn't realise that Killara High, and Wahroonga Juniors fell within in the Woodies Catchment Area, or just maybe Lachie Cannell joined the Woodies just to play with his new bestie and locking partner from Australian Schoolboys, Lachie Anderson...
