You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in...

The Nobodies (because thats what we'd be, and we could take Eales on as our Patron). Nobodies' Mob (bit of a double entendre), or Nobodies' Army (as in, We're nobodies' "army", but we're Nobodies' Army and we're an army of nobodies) The Macropod Mob - macropod being the genus to which...

I don't see it as a problem, just wasn't what I expected. When you think about it, it makes sense. It is what it is. Parents with kids playing b's might be hoping he has a crack at the A's, but parents with kids in the c's and d's is probably happy little Johnny is playing a team sport, enjoying...

I'm just a bit surprised that there's no-one even interested in talking about it - even if it's just for $h!ts and giggles. I mean by definition, there are more players and parents in the lower divisions, I thought there might be some indication they wanted to talk about the players and games...

Is this Brett Robinson the ex-Wallaby/Brumbies player Brett Robinson? This bloke? If Brett's the Chairman you can be sure it'll be a set of honest recommendations. The man's as honest and incorruptable as Eliot Ness.

Girls can be great little players. If you run over one to score a try, these pics show that you then need to be careful of her over-protective mate. My boy got one around the neck and in the goolies in the same tackle. That takes skill.

Ya think?

Thanks. My bad. I thought thats where I opened it.

I searched around and there wasn't anything for this topic. I don't have a Club Rugby Pedigree so, as a newly installed member of the Committe at Brothers, I often find myself to be a bit like an Amish on rumspringer who wandered into Comicon - I just don't have the background or frame of...

Far out. This is some serious shiznit in this thread right here. I see no more thoughtful analysis in the discussions about Super teams, or the Wallabies. I'm not sure if I'm impressed or a litttle scared. Probably both. The thought that this sort of scrutiny will be applied to my boys (assuming...

Thanks for the info. My boys are very young, its just something I am trying to get my head around. It seems that "late bloomers" have a very hard road. The perceptions of the people who select the squads and teams is fixed early. We need something like you see on those horrible American...

Back to this "size of SA rugby supporter base thing. How big is it really? My gut was saying "Can't be that much bigger can it? They play a lot of soccer, there are a lot of prople who wouldn't care less about the game" - so I did some homework. SA has a population of 50,000,000 people made up...

So for a good/great club player - what is the progression? Say you've got a kid in Queensland, he plays for his Club and at School, then back to the club. What is the trajectory of the typical kid to Super 14 and then Rep? What are the possible pathways and how do these kids get noticed?

The Southern Rugby Champions Cup or Southern Epic Rugby Cup They're the best

Bottom Half Rugby Cup Downunder Rugby Cup SuperSouthern Rugby Tournament The Southern Epic Rugby Cup - where EPIC is noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style (eg omer's...

Bottom Line - All Scholarships, Bursaries, Concessional Entry, Merits Entry, Sibling Preferential Entry etc - any enrolment that isn't based on your chronological date of entry on a waiting list - should be absolutely TRANSPARENT as to who got it and what entitlements or concessions/benefits...

"Rugby is like an Onion." "What, It makes you cry?" "Well, sometimes...when - but... NO! It-" "It smells funny?" "Wha? Well, the change rooms can, but NO! That's not what I-" When you leavie it out in the sun it gets wrinkly and sprouts little -" "NO! LAYERS! RUGBY HAS LAYERS, you...

Good points and suggestions guys.

I understand why you said it. I agree. You need to put aside all of the objections just to imagine a better scenario, but there is no way the politics and power structures and vested interests would ever permit a divestment of Rugby from GPS schools and a dissolution and re-formation of the...

You don't want to gain "weight". You want to gain muscle mass. Putting aside genetics, a very big reason for you not gaining muscle is your diet and your exercise regime. You need to be eating a LOT more PROTEIN. Your diet is massively Carb heavy. To get the amount of protein you need if you...
