Leg injury (I think knee) against the Rats.

Yep agree with that to, all my dribble above acknowledges that the Franchise should use that players to develop and grow rugby. "BUT" not neglect or shut the door on where they came from - it's a relationship that needs to be managed.

Braveheart. Fair approach for Australian Rugby, well put together. Interesting it appears the clubs are about the growth, development and promotion of players and put in the hard yards on the smell of an oily rag. and then; Some Franchises want to take but not work with the clubs that are...

Thank you for the correction, I am for working together and don't agree with the Brumbies Stance, nor that of KevinO 1. How about the Rebels pick solely from their Dewar Shield. 2. How about your Brumbies pick solely from the Dent. Slim Franchises that are happy to look over and take Sydney's...

Well we'll have to disagree there, as clubs spend time and effort developing players I simply don't think it is fair you bend clubs over and jam them from behind because you can. How about the VRU picks solely from the Vic comp and leave NSW alone?? Note; I have said Australian Rugby needs...

Cat_A As I have said in all my commentary above - I don't have an answers. I raised a thread a while back Australian Rugby or ARU. Australian Rugby - I see a distinct difference between the 2, I see club rugby battling away to develop and promote the game - people volunteering there time, and...

As a supporter I'd like to see club players, and club promoting players to Super Ruby, and I'd like to see the players coming back to their Sydney club when they are not in the match day 23 - that simple. But Super teams have a squad, an EPS, and also a responsibility to promote and develop...

I can understand them getting game time and promoting local rugby whilst the Super comp is on, it also assist with morale and cohesion. Post super it is great having the crew back, keeping the doors open so the Sydney Comp can support you guys and return when able would be beneficial to...

Tex you are right it is not an easy answer, my thoughts, would the growth have a far stronger platform if it was grown with the joint effort / support of the Sydney clubs. I agree it would be good to consolidate in the AFL states, again I think there would be greater interest and investment if...

Tex it's an interesting one I'm only a supporter and don't profess to have an answer that all parties will be happy with. I believe all clubs look to nurture their grass roots, bring their players through colts, onto grade and promote them to Super Rugby provinces. This is generally all done...

TWS, you are taking the wrong point from my post How would it play out if the ARU took the view each state has develop their own juniors and team. I.e. you can only play for the state were you player your first senior game. Note I'm not advocating that. I'm advocating development of Australian...

I support and watch the Rebels because of the Manly Players that have graduated to Super Rugby. I will not like the Rebels if they solely take from our nursery (Shute Shield) and don't let the players return. Agree rugby will grow stronger down there developing the VRU, I say tongue in cheek...

Agree and great having him back at the Marlins for the ride into the Semi's.

Have they decided who is and who isn't playing?

Coach was thinking the same as well, and wasn't sure of their discounts etc. so didn't go and try and work it out.

Weekend match reports, and there is reference to goal kicker hidden within the report that maybe starting this week; http://www.manlyrugby.com.au/news-mainmenu-101/latest-news-mainmenu-100/800-marlins-see-off-emus-and-eye-big-prize

Two games remaining against teams that will provide good focus across all grade and colts teams leading into the finals. Looking forward to seeing the team sheets over the coming weeks with the returning fresh players (& some further goal kicking depth). Marlins see off Emus and eye big...

And 2 rounds to go, bring it on.

Glad the club enjoyed the day.

Manly won the U11, U12, and U17 in the state champs this year as well.
