Rego day for my son tomorrow. Interesting with the recent ARU levy change (or whatever you call it) that the club (through the ARU) have mandated that no player in any age or grade is allowed to train or play until they have paid the ARU component of the registration. As a retired player I think...

Just reading the rugby news is K Hunt the Reds VC for the season or just this game? Seems like a strange appointment if either is the case as he hasn't played much rugby since school.

A late nomination for starting halfback - Mark Catchpole (Warringah and NSW half, think he toured with the Wallabies in the early 90s after a raft of injuries) was busted for dealing drugs a couple of years back. Not sure if he served time for it.

What's happened with Rohan Saifoloi from Souths? Is he still playing there or has he moved on? Thought he was a very under-rated fly-half.

Interesting article Boyo, the most telling is his jibe at the ARU concerning grassroots funding and highlighting the fact that all the other major sports focus on growing the base whereas the ARU focusses on the top of the pyramid.

I think a few people on this thread need to stop, take a deep breath and then move onto a new topic relating to Greg Growden. The whole Beale / Patston / McKenzie thing has been done to death. It is a new year, with new hope and as that annoying song from my daughter's favourite movie says "Let...

Boyo, maybe re-post these over in the appropriate thread on the Rugby Discussion forum. This thread is for discussing regional rugby mainly through match reports and player / coach roundabouts.

Where's PAE going?

Emu, you have to be a subscriber to be able to read that article. Can you give a summary of what he said or quote the most relevant parts. Cheers.

Can you reveal a source or at least where you heard this rumour? It would be interesting considering they dropped out of first grade in 2013.

"As a Raiders fan" I thought they were a myth. You must be the only one left after their gun side retired in the 1990s. Enjoy the wooden spoon this year under Ricky Stuart, he's got quite the coaching knack of achieving them.

Hiring an ex-player with no coaching experience because he was a good on-field leader. That worked really well for England with Martin Johnson so we should do it as well.

I'm at the wrong stop? :D

Does this come back to Bruce Ross observation that the Wallabies and Super Rugby teams do not lift big weights in season as the Kiwi teams do?

I've thought for a number of year a 4 yearly amateur rugby world cup - made up entirely of amateur players, though some countries outside the top 2 tiers could be given dispensation, could go well. Make it a 32 team tournament (similar to the dive-ballers) and hold it in countries that are not...

Just phoned channel 10 and they are not showing the rugby. More money showing a constant stream of infomercials apparently (if the tv guide is anything to go by).

Melbourne, we did that with Ben Alexander, who the Brumbies sent to Sale for a couple of seasons (prior to 2007) to learn how to scrum. From memory he spent most of his time on the bench.

Met Stephen Hoiles today, thoroughly nice bloke and had my photo taken with him and the Super Rugby trophy. Had a lot of good things to say about the 'tahs for next year and how Cheik coaching both them and the Wallabies was a good thing as he needed to be busy. Talked about the Phil Hughes tragedy and...

teach, I know how you feel. In my final year I was playing with sons of the men I played with when I first started playing grade. When that happened I knew it was time I thought about retiring (that and the wife telling me I had too as she was sick of the 4 days of whining about the soreness of...
