Yep, slow news week but the team is on their post season break. At least we're not talking about Bali:)

:) Yeah, the 10 minute easy walk from Parramatta station ,( not up a 45 degree angle 20 minutre walk up a hill to the SFS) has heaps of nice restaurants and bars along the way. Free shuttle buses from the station also if you want to get straight there. It's a top spot to watch rugby, and the...

The Roosters have allowed him to leave,effective immediately. I'd be hesitant though, he's been let go because $800k wasn't enough.

Or a LOOSE head prop, lose head prop has quite a different connotation

Reg, I believe that the private ownership of the Eagles no longer exists and NSW rugby run both teams

That would be huge

I don't know, it's only a couple of posters who want change. When NSW had 3 teams they were all terrible. There isn't enough depth in SS to match it with semi professional outfits like the Force and Drua, and the best Super Rugby franchise has one team in the NRC. This year NSW teams had 2 teams and both...

Newcastle (and Illawarra) still plays in the country championship each year and get picked for NSW Country from that, so I would say yes. If Sydney and Country played in Newcastle they'd be supporting country

Yes. Reds do it well. Thank goodness NSW seem to have embraced jt more. I thought the NRC came along this year a d produced some top games but really struggled by having to compete with the RWC.

Well said. All the Super Rugby players must play NRC if instructed, but what happens if a player is not from One of the "elite" teams? And players trying to prove themselves Super Rugby ready will have to align themselves with one of the better teams or miss the opportunity to showcase their talent

The same with NSW Country. The likes of Robertson, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), Staniforth and Ned Hanigan are all country boys that now ply their trade in Sydney. The Eagles games are played in regional areas with coaching clinics included. There wasn't much tribalism when Sydney had the Northern Rays, Western Rams...

I agree. Props were the least of Wallabies problems in the RWC

I see your point, but I'm saying that a stadium will be built at the old site to cater for their needs so will be available. As a Novocastrian I'd be over the moon if they continued playing a game here.

If you want to grow the game nationally, you need to have some sort of interest from the country of both NSW and QLD. Yes there are no players picked directly from country clubs, but that's only because they head to the big smoke if they're good enough. If you want to just have City teams, then...

Where are the Roosters or Sydney FC going to play then? Bankwest is a magnificent stadium but a long way from Bondi and already home to the Eels and Wanderers. I go to watch games at Bankwest, but the crowds last year were poor and showed that most rugby fans won't travel West

The Roosters and Sydney FC need a rectangular home ground

Kind of agree Tattsy, but I thought he was a good buy. Had higher level rugby experience, could cover a few outside back spots, plus the Reds covered part of his contract so we got him cheap. With the demise of He who must not be mentioned, it allowed KB (Kurtley Beale) to go to fullback and KH to play 12

I would also point out that while he had a rocks or diamonds world cup, he was the architect of some of Petaia's impact which was one of the few highlights

Did you mean to post that on the Wallabies thread?
