#SIRU2013 Round Fifteen Preview: PREMIER DIVISION: Griffith (6) v CSU (3) Reddies have plenty to play for in this match, a win this week guarantees a finals berth for them and they will be as keen as mustard to bag a win in the MIA this weekend. CSU played some decent rugby against the...

Joe Tomane? My vote was for Nic White. I think he's taken a lot of pressure off the team when required, he organises the forwards well and his kicking game has been a highlight all year. I also think he has been a key ingredient in the backline firing as well as they have, his service has been...

namtrak The 2013 Finals Series will be played over three weeks, Second Grade is the same format as First Grade. 3rd Grade and Under 17's follow a standard top 4 finals series. The Women's 7 a side competition follow the same format as First Division. Week One: Premier Division: Game A - 1st v...

I rate the Brumbies a good chance against the Chiefs, even in Hamilton. It'll be tough, but I reckon the Brumbies are in with a good chance.

#SIRU2013 Round Fourteen Preview: If I’ve said this once, I’ve said this a million times this year – things are really heating up at the moment with our competition. Teams are really needing to get some runs on the board in the Premier Division Top 4 as competition points are becoming...

This will be a tight game. Hopefully the Brums can pull it together and get back that early season form for the last two games of the year.

#SIRU2013 Round Thirteen Preview: Competition for the Top Four really heats up this weekend with the higher ranked teams taking on their lower ranked counterparts. Albury and CSU are nearly guaranteed a place in the top tier of the 2013 Finals Series, but City, Aggies, Tahs and Griffith need all...

The key to all of this is to have a strong base from which to work with. Would Don Cameron have taken on the Under 17's if his son wasn't playing? There was also a player of great potential in Alistair O'Riarn who was playing in the front row (possibly Don's favourite position) that would have...

I could name two players from SIRU who were approached by JID Clubs in the early 2000's to play rugby in Canberra. In more recent times, Jason Lagaali, Robbie and AJ Abel, are all Riverina bred kids who have played rugby in Canberra and at a reasonable standard too.

I don't think anyone in SIRU is of the opinion that any SIRU team (or Rep Team) would get near a Shute Shield team.

Bubba There are two at Albury - Mick Alexander (Eastwood??) and Justin Wheatley (Eastwood), Dave Armstrong (Syd Uni Colts) at Ag College. Sean O'Hara (Easts) if he's still running around for the Reddies lower grades. Simon Brabin at Junee, did Greg Condon ever play Shute Shield? Former players...

Good discussion guys, but I have to agree with namtrak, I think Almost 2 old also hit on this previously - that there had been opportunities in the past to play in the ACT and there are just too many factors that play against teams from SIRU competing at higher levels. It's not that the players...

#SIRU2013 Round Twelve Preview: Well, we’re into the split now after having last weekend off and teams are playing within the Top 6 (Premier Division) and Bottom 5 (First Division) which will show some much tighter games than we’ve seen in the regular season. There are some great matchups this...

Justin Marshall keeps going up in my estimation. His analysis of the game is balanced, he has a good understanding of the laws of the game, he admits when he's wrong on air and now this. Awesome.

boyo Not sure mate, it has definitely slipped off the radar hasn't it! Maybe with the expansion of the TMO boundaries, there is no need for it? Haven't heard anything official on this. Speaking of White Cards, I haven't seen or heard much about the Off-White Card lately either.

I think that teams need to adjust to the referee and act accordingly to what the referees interpretations are. Ultimately the calls are going to be very similar from referee to referee at that level. They are all getting the same style of coaching and are all refereeing in a similar environment...
