As per the Updated NSW Rugby website please note that the Penrith Colts have negotiated with Manly to give up there home game this week vs Manly in preference for another bus trip for the true believers. Embracing the club building philosophy that "culture is key" .... Penrith will travel to...

Randwick 52 def Penrith 24 (I think) ... Emu's gave it a massive shake for 60 mins with Randwick taking a couple of late tries to blow the score out.

Top 10 Things that the ARU could do to actually support rugby in Penrith... 1. ARU / SJRU waives team insurance & rego fees for all Penrith affiliated junior clubs & teams allowing money to be spent on development & significantly lowering the cost of playing. 2. NSWJRU waives PDJRU June Long...

Thanks DS as a 30 year veteran of the Front rowers union I find much of this quite a worry for both development & safety reasons. In the game between QLD 1 & NSW 2 the visitors lost at least 2-3 tight heads and gave away at least 3 scrum penalties. It even got to the stage where the QLD team...

Can anyone north of the border fill us in on the current state of scrummaging in the QLD schools & Junior comps? I thought that this aspect of QLD play was particularly poor thru the week. Especially in the loss to NSW 2. IMHO The QLD 1 front row has been given till the September Aust A matches...

If we delve into the dark & distant past we have names like Tim Donelly (Marist Eastwood & 6 Aust Schools caps) & Pete Besselling (St Dominic's - Penrith & NSW Waratahs). I also recently watched Nigel Viafale (CCC 18's) a couple of years back make his debut in Shute Shield vs Parramatta for...

Now that I think about it I think James Parker (CCC u16) may have been called up to that NSWSRU U16 team too but withdrew to tour the UK with St Paul's?

The CCC U16's had a tough couple of days at the office at the NSWSRU Championships. However, it was great to see 2 CCC & 4 former CCC boys make the NSW schools teams on Friday. Got me to thinking about the combined CCC team one could put together from the last few years who have (a) used either...

From the nsw schools website....a couple of minutes ago... SUNDAY 23/6/13: The FINALS OF THE NSWSRU U16 CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE GOING AHEAD AS SCHEDULED TODAY AT KNOX GRAMMAR NO.1 OVAL. PLAY ON BOYS!

The draw for Friday U18 & Saturday / Sunday U16 Championships is now up in the news section of the NSWSRU website.

Probably my fault. Should have wrote "How interested are the SRU in addressing the issues confronting colts culture in Sydney?" I understand that you can ask the clubs but then obviously you let ignorant self interest take over. Bit of A cop out really to put it back to the clubs and claim "not...

Very true. on another tact what about the culture factor? Is split grade & colts at alternate venues detrimental to building club culture in the 21st century? Also I hear that split colts & grade training nights at some clubs too is a bit soulless? Culture is key but how flexible are the SRU in...

Two blues kickstart is a catchy name and I agree with the philosophy (give a man a fish etc etc). It's interesting to see how others are finding a path between those young blokes who are tertiary minded and those who may be more industry / vocationally oriented. Out in our world a combination of...

Gentlemen 2 questions for your feedback 1. What are the various incentives offered to players in premier colts in 2013? 2. Whose running the best "pound for pound" colts programme & why?

Thanks Hugie

Congrats to the 9 under 15's & 4 under 17's from Penrith DJRU who have been named to trial for spots in the Sydney Junior Age Teams. Good luck boys! Must make mention of the Penrith U17's who (I believe) finished 3rd overall on the weekend. top stuff guys!

U11's NSWJRU Champs went to script with the 2 best sides meeting in the final. Manly were dominant all weekend & will be the team to watch in coming years.

My apologies Beefcake. My humour was more a metaphor referring to those accusing Penrith of being the dark forces undermining rugby in western Sydney not a reference to other factors. I am extremely familiar with the outstanding multi cultural people of our region of which I am very proud...

Penrith U11's defeated Warringah today (45 - 5) to claim 5th spot overall at the NSWJRU Championships. Plans have already commenced between the Dark Lord and his Ork minions from Mount Doom (aka Mon Druee) to make another attack on the hobbits of middle earth in 2014!

Manly u11 continued to dominate yesterday at keirle park defeating Sufc 38-0 & Norths by 60 in the QF. Penrith had a 14 - 14 draw with Southern Districts & played Randwick in the QF going down 42 - 24. The game was dominated by the big emus forwards but the Australian sprint champion that...
