    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    What about short term Wallaby contracts, paid for a tour/series whatever. The players bread and butter comes from Super or OS rugby. Selection for each series etc for the wallabies is based on open trials. A player can nominate. Minimum standard must hold an NRC contract. Then over a week of...

    Declining participation and ARU plans for the future

    In the 90s is when soccer and other sports first seriously came into the GPS winter sports system. Not sure what happened in the public system, but rugby was dying a slow death in the public primary system from the early 80s. This obviously feeds into the secondary system, during the 90s. I...

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    Ozzie Bob, hard for me to Comment on the Northern Barbarians. My boy played with the Epping Rams to 11s. Last year we had to put a combined team together with Hillview Rugby and then this year Epping and Hillview became Central Eastwood. Only about 6 boys registered with Central Eastwood this...

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    We were anticipating a much tougher game today, after loosing a few of our recent games. The boys all certainly clicked and got things right today. Canterbury certainly never gave in, and as always they are a great bunch of boys (and supporters) to play against. Looking forward to continued...

    He wasn't assisting in the second half. I think he was worn out after the first. Plus a paid Ref turned up for a later game and insisted on running a line.

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    One of the tries from our Semi Final on the weekend. Sorry about quality, my older boys DLSR is great for stills however I don't think I had it setup right to do video. Tried to copy camera setup etc from some of the good GPS videos however I could not get high enough at Ryde Oval as the trees...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    That's interesting as that's how I felt about my time at Shore finishing in the v early '90s. Basically persona non grata. After being in 'A' teams for most of my schooling, developing type 1 diabetes and loosing weight then muscle mass in the process, and being dumped down about 4 grades for...

    NSW AAGPS Rugby 2016

    That's what I thought. Aren't "D, F and G" grounds setup as soccer pitches. "G and F" at least when not being used as overflow car parking. Proper dimensions and all. Was certainly soccer being played when I visited last weekend. 0-0 when I stopped by for a look. Exciting stuff. o_O

    NATIONAL RUGBY WEEK 25th 29th July

    First I heard of it was this post. I regularly watch the news etc, read the paper and have not heard a peep in Sydney. I still have one child in primary school and nothing there either. When my older two were in primary school it was AusKick (AFL) and the league guys at the school most often...

    NATIONAL RUGBY WEEK 25th 29th July

    How many development officers do they have to get to 800 schools in a week? Well obviously 80-160 if they do 1-2 schools a day. But what are they doing the other 40 odd school weeks of the year? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Australian Rugby Development Centre

    With the CSIRO about to get rid of its Marsfield site (in the next 2-3 years) across the road from TG its a pity that wasn't known when all the TG stuff fell through. More medium density housing I guess and who knows maybe some juniors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Continued decline in Sydney Junior Rugby

    So the SJRU have just sent out a request for all registered players in the u11-14 age groups for their height and weight data. Changes in the wind? Maybe just want to get an idea of the size of the outliers. Never actually saw any letter regarding weight dispensations as mentioned earlier in the...

    And all the mums looking at the scratches/gouges on Hoopers face. Not sure if it's quite the image they were intending to send. Surely they could of used some concealer or a paper bag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
