From a bygone era, and another sport, but it's gold

^^^ I think it is a message to Shatz to lift his game. If he isn't performing, he'll be hooked early with Browning to 8 and Gunn to 7. Good to see Michael Gunn get a gig on the pine, and I reckon the young bloke will get a fair amount of game time.

Well done that man. Congratulations to Michael and his connections. Seriously weakens the Red piggies for the big game today, assuming he will now be unavailable.

The good ones don't ... ... ... and there are a few NSW Gaggerlanders that are as feral and one eyed as the best of the Banjolanders.

I think @Newbie's rationale is that he feels that he has the size and body shape to be able to play both Prop (at a pinch) and Hooker. The body shape of some hookers such as Craig (NSW) and Roach (another Woody) before him are such that they can realistically only play one front row position...

It is important to have the debate. Well thrown Sir.

So why are kids not staying "local" and what can the ARU/NSW RU do about it? It seems to me that kids are going to Wicks, Buildcorp, Norths, Hobbits etc because of the strength and reputation of their Colts programmes. The old WII-FM radio station (What's In It For Me). Perhaps the "Powers...

I have been told by the NSWRU folk that there are some bugs to iron out in the Rugby Link system. "This week the Clubs (for the first time) are entering the results sheets on the new system and we are encountering some issues which is why the data is incomplete/confusing. In a usual week...

Not taking any bet for XXXX. Very very ordinary beer. Now if you were talking a keg of Young Henry's or 4 Pines Pale Ale then ... ... ... ... I reckon their draft teams have had the same 8 or 9 blokes in them since they started. The other 6 or 7 positions would have 2, 3 or 4 names against...

@Hans, I think you may have been too generous to teams and individuals that haven't performed at nationals. I also think that Thompson et al are actually above State/Team ratios in the Jnr RWC Squad. They will choose the best blokes that have demonstrated that they can play the gameplan that...

The Jarse-o-meter uses the detail from http://www.nswrugby.com.au/ShuteShield/DrawsResultsLadders.aspx to track the various stats I published on here last season. I'm not sure if the NSWRU/SRU intend to still update the detail in that format because the clubs seem to be entering the data...

The old chestnut of Clubs claiming "ownership" of players forever due to an earlier accident of geography when kids were tweenagers. Many District clubs invest very little in their junior rep programmes, although Gordon has done well with a select few players until Under 16's in the past...

How is QC (Quade Cooper)'s return from Team Rehab looking? If ever he was needed, it is now.

"Good game of footy" - Some one must have actually made a one on one tackle, or maybe a team passed the ball more than once on the 2nd or 3rd tackle before running straight into the 3 man group cuddle commonly referred to as a tackle. Rugby League - A simple domestic game with no...

@Footy-kid. Fiji Team list here. Click on the arrow thingy in the green bar above.

The Sydney Convicts are not a "gay group". They are an inclusive Rugby Club. There is a difference. AFAIK and not that it is my business, there were quite a few straight blokes playing Bingham Cup with the Convicts, Melbourne Chargers, Brisbane Hustlers et al. It is a great idea that JacPot...
