The Tumut-Albury match is really the only one that seems hard to pick this week. I think Albury can get the win but it will be very close. Also something that I see as a bit concerning is the continued domination of one or maybe two clubs each season - this year is Tahs & possibly Leeton...

I don't get the hate for big T? His strike rate for scoring tries is unbelievable, even in past years when he wasn't going so well i reckon he would score every 3rd touch of the ball. Sure he has weaker parts of his game but scoring tries is the primary goal of wingers and he does that better...

I assume given the perilous financial state of RA they only got one set of jumpers for the U20 to be used at both the Oceania challenge and the world cup and they need to logo for the world cup

My WIN (country NSW version of 10) has the same TBA for 8:30-11:30 on Friday night (6:30-9:30) Perth time.

If we only had another professional team...

I'll take Lam over Timu thanks.

I agree Unfortunately it is much easier to renew the existing competition, which is what will happen and RA will continue to lose money.

Therein lies the major problem with the code in Australia - self interest. As long at my club is going well nothing is wrong...

I don't understand why the clubs (Subbies & Shute) can't all be affiliated with the one union. As far as i can see the major problem in Australian rugby stems from governance - why is there so much? I would like to see all club rugby look after by the NSWRU in NSW, but even if that is too big...

In regard to the lengthening the comp everyone at the AGM seem pretty positive and I know Mick McTaggert was keen, so not sure why it didn't happen - I assume that when the clubs were asked to respond formally they didn't follow through??? I'm still not sure what you are after with some of the...

If the NRC was to step up I would think 3 teams would be: ACT Brumbies Melbourne Rebels Western Force The problem goes back to the start of Super Rugby and using State representative teams as a club/franchise, you could keep the Waratahs and Reds but I think you would be better off keeping...

And that’s Australia’s problem, most kids don’t try Rugby Union they get Rugby League offered. It has been very difficult to get into the local public schools with the amount of time they have dedicated to league and AFL Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No problem with that at all and I agree the more rugby the better - I would live a dedicated rugby channel. I was more referring to your statement that if I didn't like the Shute Shield I didn't like rugby. If it's on and I've nothing else to do, I'll watch but I won't be recording it or...

What sort of changes are you looking for Fox? Most seem pretty happy with the way the comp is running - there was the opportunity for change by adding a couple of rounds but clubs didn't support it.

Sorry I thought the point was we select anyone eligible no matter where they are playing. Sure we will lose players, but save wages and still recall them to Australia during the test window.

Either with us or against us type of statement How many times to the Shute Shield lovers have to be told that the majority of rugby supporters don'y give a rats arse about the comp... As you can see I support the Waratahs but living in country NSW have no ties to any club and don't care... I...

I agree mostly but not the idea of shrinking the game - opt out of super rugby and go with the NRC with a low salary cap. We need to be able to offer kids a place at a professional club - currently we have 4 of them. Aussies want to see a team win, in our current set up we are all losing. It...

Yeah mate - your boys are the big movers up from last to 4th. 1. Waratahs 2. Leeton 3. Tumut 4. Griffith 5. Albury 6. Ag College 7. Wagga City 8. CSU Personally I think Courtney isn't too far off the mark, maybe Albury & Aggies above the Blacks and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Phantoms...

Nice to see the season preview in the DA today (hard copy only :() Tahs, as always look to be the ones to beat and CSU again to struggle - the big change predicted for this year is the Boilled Lollies from 3rd to 7th. Things have been very quiet from the MIA, have the Phantoms managed to...

Would other local juniors see a potential to a professional career and want it at those clubs? But in all seriousness there is not going to be anybody currently playing for either of those clubs being picked up - if they had players with that potential the other clubs would have already...
