Rams (when it was the club's) pushed for it and women's comps, we also talked to sydney West in the jgc about rebranding so we had comprehensive pathways at all levels. Won't happen until at least 2016 I reckon if things work well

My heart nearly stopped in the last 5 minutes of that brilliant game, my voice was gone in the first 5 minutes I nearly crushed my mate with an embracing hug at 80 minutes and am still completely hyped up. Brilliant. I'm not as old as some of you but the wait was worth it. The heart and passion...

"Hands off red six" with a picture of the cup.

There's some things behind the scenes which aren't being seen here. Some of the things you mentioned I've heard rumours of not being adequate either.

Its being enacted but again being created to the detriment of the clubs with the direct link to the community, hopefully in time amendments can be made. We should support the team, the idea but hopefully look to a day when organically the best come from the area.

There is certainly politics involved. There's also business. Its right for the community clubs to maximise their risk/reward balance. From some rumours I've heard there's a lot of risk, not much reward.

are they really in a different level of financial commitment to eastwood? answer that question.

I can't get my tahs gear dirty before saturday!

as I said on Reg's stuff I can help out occasionally. probs a good way to get my writing standards up and keep active whilst looking for a fulltime job for now

I could probs back up for WCR, though not sure what my writings like these days.

The Rams are 75% owned by the new lot and 15% owned by the clubs as last I was aware. The new owners are a consortium of people from financial and corporate backgrounds. New marketing team don't support or have knowledge on rugby. It doesn't really matter other than the fact the clubs don't have...

The rams are no longer a collective association of the western sydney clubs anyway. Its a private franchise operating in collaboration with those clubs.

we were planning on throwing out a competition back then. Not sure what the new lot are doing for a team song. Seems NDale is working for them on that fan engagement so he better push for a quick comp!

heard a while ago norths weren't happy in the consortium.

this was a proposal from me, unfortunately after they had decided everything would be locked in.

There's no alternates, that one he's wearing is a training jersey. I'll still get it because it has my logo on it and I have no idea what they're gonna do with it post this season given their recent social media changes to it. At least its not just another blue jersey (which is probably what...

The one they're holding is the primary.

no, I make it sound like what in reality it was. It was a reasonable stance considering the Sydney clubs want to control things and the sustainability a Sydney team can have. If the Sydney clubs didn't want input then they probably would have been run by the state union.

The only consortium who had to raise money themselves were the sydney teams. All others were associated with existing identity's and/or supported by the ARU

based on operating costs of the teams thats only a 25% rise in costs (from this season) that could be holistically supported by sponsorship, share arrangements and community engagement. so you look into 2 years time when the cost would be scaling down in terms of total cost and the fact that it...
