    A Proposal For A New Third Tier Competition In Australia

    What concerns me about that interview, first part of the interview he was talking about all the coaches wanting to play positive rugby as if he was a coach, great lip service but he is not a coach. Has he ever coached? Then talks about an abbreviated game with different rules, how are we going...

    A Proposal For A New Third Tier Competition In Australia

    Agree wih the timing, it would be stupid to compete with Super rugby, and Shute Shield

    George Smith to sign with Australian Super Rugby team...

    Agree, but that might be different if George could make himself available for the full season.

    George Smith to sign with Australian Super Rugby team...

    Lets' wait and see, the guy is a freak. Pockock is good over ball, as is George, then the rest of what George brings Poey doesnt have yet. I would have loved to see them play against each other.

    Shute Shield 2013

    I'd like to see NSW Subbies rep team included within an 8 team 3rd NSW / ACT tier, but that's enough about 3T

    Brumbies 2013

    I'll reluctantly cheer on the Brumbies again - if McCaw gets knighted, why not Sir George Smith, when is the Crusaders game. ;)

    A Proposal For A New Third Tier Competition In Australia

    I have a boy @ 5, and a daughter @ 7, who have a great time on a Saturday arvo. I'm not going to hike into town, or Homebush, I will spend more time watching them than the game, then hike back to the car to be home after 10. I will simply watch it on Fox. In the old days, there was cricket in...

    Agree was waiting to hear Gus Gould pass his thoughts, didn't like it.

    A Proposal For A New Third Tier Competition In Australia

    Sully, I know. It just means quality players are taken away from games a family can afford to attend. If these games are played as curtain raisers, they won't even be shown on Foxtel.

    There was change last night, the light is now a flicker.

    A Proposal For A New Third Tier Competition In Australia

    I wonder why the ITM cup doesn't run next to Super Rugby - running alongside would be stupid. After all aren't we trying to work / compare towards other successful 3t models. You say a true third tier can't have 22 teams, if the top 4 was post Super, and post SS it might be 8 - 10 teams.

    A Proposal For A New Third Tier Competition In Australia

    With Super starting in Feb, are you p reposing the third tier start in Dec/ Jan? I thinking the Shute Shield could become the 3rd tier, with the top 4 club comp following. Maybe start the SS in Feb as well and play full home and away.

    Waratahs 2013

    IS, just not making my judgement after one game that's all, look at McQueens first tour to Argentina. I saw enough to see there has been a change, old habits are hard to break - it takes longer than one game. I'm not a Tummy fan because I have never seen variety, whether that is the coaches game...

    Waratahs 2013

    IS fair crack of the whip please. He's spent years studying this at Uni, and Izzy's now going to Uni as well. I'm not making any judgement after one game.

    Waratahs 2013

    Last year we would have kicked for the corner McKibben would have kicked for the corner and not even looked to attack. Keppu threw a silly pass whilst on his back, a pass that shouldn't have been thrown. My point being I liked the fact we were looking to play ball in hand rather than ball on...

    Waratahs 2013

    You don't win the comp in the first game. Reds first 2 tries were scored on creative / attacking NSW errors. On a number of occasions last night I thought here we go a kick, but we throw passes and looked to play ball in hand. As the season progresses balls will stick, and players will back up...

    Choose 4 clubs would you include in a national comp

    Nth beaches? Or Manly Sydney uni. Western Sydney. Or Eastwood Southern Sydney or Southern Districts Would love to have named Parra but based it on last years club championships

    Shute Shield 2013 Transfers

    Really, I'll use Eastwood 2011 as an example they werent littered with Super 15 players, they had a good coach and a developed team - so you want to pull them apart and spread the talent? That would not be right, a club creates the right culture, and develops a good brand & team and then it gets...

    Shute Shield 2013 Transfers

    Uni has an offering that no other club has, they take advantage of it because they can. For all the other clubs out there, if they do the right thing and create a strong club why should they loose players if the Jake White rule is applied? Use Parra as an example - year 3 of the rebuild - lets...
