Yes I suspect that the intersection between Fantasy Rugby coaching and Not So Fantasy Rugby coaching collided in 2016 (not so much 2014/15) I hear it’s more things change the more they stay the same at Steamer land this year. Some old faces back in the fold - on and off the field

Lots of injuries this year, so do your homework. They seem to be falling into the 2/3 week category or the season ending category. On top of $$ comp we also have a free head to head comp (not the official GaGR one) but a comp nonetheless Code is S3LXTMSE, limited to 20 spots and there’s about...

Here’s the list of Byes from Round 2. 2. Sharks 3. Highlanders 4. Chiefs 5. Hurricanes 6. Brumbies/Waratahs/Blues 7. Sunwolves/Jaguares/Reds 8. Bulls/Rebels/Highlanders 9. Stormers/Lions/Crusaders 10. Hurricanes 11. Sharks/Waratahs/Chiefs 12. Sunwolves/Brumbies/Reds 13. Jaguares 14. Rebels...

For the last 7 or 8 years, a few of us have been participating in a $$ league in the FoxSports comp. We tend to have about 3 or 4 prize winners each year and it adds a bit more spice than winning a Fox package for a few months! This years buy-in is a $100, you end up on a email list with the...

Fox is up and running

Only 10 spots?

Some interesting comments there from the new old coach. Suggesting they haven’t really recruited well, and in the same breath naming three of those recruits as players returning to the club for 2018. What he probably meant to say was that when the leadership of the committee changed in 2016 they...

I really rated Tom. He is a class piece of work.

The question was raised on Saturday night about an all time SIRU team? Has there ever been such a thing? I'm sure the discussion would be willing.

I wonder what Ag College think of this? - They finished 6th in the H&A

At least you know it'll be a quick trip. My 2017 tipping season has come to a close.....

Yeh, I'm always one for skipping the entree and mains, and tucking straight into the cheesecake. There are some implied and suggested results in my prediction: Aggies to beat Tumut City to beat Waratahs Aggies to beat Waratahs Leeton to beat City Aggies to beat City Leeton to beat...

Anyway, people's predictions for the GF? I don't know enough about other grades to offer anything useful. First Grade - Leeton over Aggies by less than 7.

Based on the last 4 or 5 Grand Finals, I'm predicting a Leeton v Aggies decider. Leeton to win big in the qualifying final and Aggies to continue the run they started in Tumut. Over the last few years, there has been a runaway favourite and a smoky who has come from nowhere, ending in very...

A quick call to MM will sort it out, but my understanding last year was that if 2nd grade forfeits then 1st grade MAY get docked competition points.

The first opportunity to see Leeton play yesterday. They are definitely the entertainers. The Steamers stuck with them for the first half, and I suspect that the brains trust there will believe they could match them for longer with a bit more intent. As for the Phantoms, on one hand you hope...

I don't care how a team has performed all year, or how good you think your opposition are - you are doing something right if your team leaders set out a solid plan. James Devlin at the Steamers has laid out their plans for the Phantoms, and you can't question that...

I guess the Fijian grapevine is not as reliable as it once was. Either way the Steamers appreciated the level of speed and skills in some of their Leeton opponents, regardless of where they came from. More importantly, Round 7 proved to be a very good round for the balance of the comp. Every...

Sounds a little bitter. No-one begrudges clubs who bring in players to the comp. Especially ones who add to the colour and level of competition in SIRU. Most of the Steamers recruits over the years have added real value to the club, wether on the field or off. The bulk of them stay beyond their...

I think the club is playing the long game, with a lot of energy going into the Juniors programme. As for travel, its well documented that the Wagga teams are only travelling away for 4 games in the year. With the longest journey at 2 hours. Whereas the out of town teams, are travelling for 7...
