I didn't protest Jon being a non executive director of other companies I questioned his on going role as CEO on becoming chairman of Echo. There is a significant difference in the roles otherwise there would not be a need for an increase in directors fees for chairman over a non executive...

I am sure that if the seniors came 8th at the world cup we would all be screaming for a change of coaching staff. As head of HPU and coach of the under 20s how can Nucifora critically review his own performance and those of his coaching team. What value has Nucifora added in his role as HPU...

With news tonight that John Oniel has been appointed chairman at Echo surely he must soon stand down as Aru CEO. The bloke is on a million bucks a year and he should be full-time. The Aru board should not allow an employee to sit on a board such as Echo and claim a full-time salary. Rugby...

No thanks. I like that reds and fringe reds players getting a chance to come back and represent their respective clubs and play with their mates. That's what rugby is all about.Playing for some mixed teams with no history, supporters or volunteer support and questionable suitable coaches will...

Doubt that the QRU staff will be driving this very hard as it would cost money to get it on abc and as Premier funding to the clubs comes direct from the ARU now, unsure how much funding is directed to the QRU to manage the competion. I am sure sadly they wont be in a position to fund premier...

Excellent hope it is at Sunnybank Sports and Community Club so we can stop a few more players from desperately trying to join another club. Haha. FYI the contribution to Digby was more and the other you have spoken about is less. I know you dont believe me but that is the problem with Rugby...

what2040 Sunnybank does invest in the juniors and in the rugby community in general eg schools comp, they also have a big commitment to funding senior sevens programs for men and woman to assist with player development and to create opportunity. Your comment re players leaving if it wasn't for...

I think all clubs should consider developing strategies for including sevens for males and females. our club ran a program for schoolgirls to participate in a sevens tournament and got a huge turnout that increased interest in our club and playing for us in sevens and fifteens. Great way as...

Agree with the sentiment. Agents signing 15 year olds is a sad reality and rather pointless as there is very little that a manager can do for a kid at 15 anyway. Third tier In rugby exists already in the premier comp in Qld and Shute shield and it must be working reasonably well, we are one of...

Most of the reds players who FYI are the super rugby champions, all play club rugby in Brisbane not In Sydney. Most of the current reds players developed in Qld premier comp. Majority of current starting wallabies a product of Qld rugby. Qld premier club winner usually beat shute shield winner...

This gym complex developed at Sunnybank will be awesome for developing the physicality of their players and will attract a lot of new players with aspirations for a professional career. I think most visiting super rugby teams will choose to train at Sunnybank in future.

Genia is a quality 9 and best in australia by a long way. Box kicks by Genia occurred in more than one game unfortunately. Your cliche should be aimed at the coaches that didn't learn. Genia was under instruction as part of the on going game plan during the tournament to do this. FYI if you...

Would the wallabies improve by Jim staying? My belief is no so renewing his contract would be pointless. The wallabies didnt lose the world cup due to Quades kick off. They lost it because Deans didn't use his bench well and because the selectors picked injured players. They also took the wrong...

Agree doesn't make sense! I agree that it doesn't make sense, but I am not making the decision. I hope all the woody fans and Shute Shield supporters get onto the club powers that be, and make sure they support the Australian Club Championships rather than a trial match.

Rumour has it that Eastwood are going to forfeit the Australian Club Championship game against Sunnybank due to lack of funds, even though they were due to host it and should make money from it, if properly managed. Pretty poor form if true and hard to take some Sydney clubs and Shute Shield...
