Most of the Toyota cup players earn around $5k. Clubs have a budget of $250k, they all seem to pay 75% of this to two or maybe three players and let the other 20 odd to share the crumbs. I have heard Pulver expressing astonishment that kids will change their future for this sort of money. It's...

C'mon, there are no "brands" in the SS Most clubs play in front of less people than many Schools First XV's None of them make any money out of merchandising. A brand has no value,if it can't generate income. Rather than suggesting the new comp will profit from "brand recognition" maybe the comp...

If it was that easy,why haven't they done these things for the past decade? I'm a big believer in the best predictor for future performance is past performance. On past performance,the only competition these guys are likely to be competitive in,would be lower grade subbies.

I don't think Lance is nearly as strong as Horne defensively,and clearly not in the same League as KB (Kurtley Beale) with the ball in hand. Sure put him on the bench for cover,but that's it. Peterson needs to earn his stripes in a different environment.He has demonstrated repeatedly,he is not up to standard at...

You cannot be serious. The Students dominate the SS. Randwick have been serial failures in the same comp in recent years. It is reasonable to expect that Uni with their existing funding,structure and playing personnel would succeed at a higher level. I seriously would not be confident that...

Just shows the value of IF,they bite hard on him. He doesn't need the ball to make a difference.

Impressive lineup Belly. Good luck with the function,hope you sell it out!

That's just silly. Get Fifita etc to pack into a real scrum and they would be bitched. Why,because the Rugby guys do specific strength training to assist their scrummaging,which affects their mobility. Do 3on 2,and 4 on 3 drills to see which group actually has any football knowledge/skills. Only...

I think he would fit in there. Might have to get some ink though.

He was signed to a full contract straight out of School. Set up to fail.

He is in his fourth year as a pro. Makes his original 3 year contract a poor decision.

I though Benji played better than his replacement,who put pressure on the Blues with too many turnovers from low percentage plays.

Apparently not!

You can't seriously propose that an entity with no money,very few juniors and a very poor recent playing history. Be given a franchise on the basis of sponsorship support. Can you?

So Randwick couldn't afford to pay players in 2013,are now so solvent as to be beyond doubt as to affording the more expensive T3 team,in addition to their SS Squads? What assets do they have to call upon,should revenues be less than forecasted or a sponsorship they budgeted for,falls over? All...

Agree,they looked a couple of weeks behind the Tahs in preparation. Maybe it's deliberate,it's a long season.

I think you over estimate his salary. He was coming off rock star money,but was looking at a massive pay cut wherever he signed. None of the 10's for the Blues would be happy with their game.

They will be strong,no doubt. But are significantly weaker in quite a few key positions. If they lose any to grade,it will be interesting how they will go.

I would have thought the opposite to be true. 6 & 8 make many more decisions than 12 in a game. Defending in the 12 channel won't be be beyond him.

I can't. That would require analysis,planning then execution. Your dreaming!
