as long as it keeps the rain out it is all good. Phitzy you are wrong, Homebush is pants and should put in 5 times as much to get games there. Personally would love to see the 'tahs take 1 game to Newcastle and 1 to another country area (Central Coast would be my pick). Especially games that do...

My son's team had a huge turnaround with a 1 try win today. All the kids had a ball. I've taught my son that if he has had fun then he has won.

maybe we should rename this thread, started as a joke, 'under age rugby' or something similar.

Evolution of rules but according to the coach he is supposed to develop certain skills at certain ages, 'hit and rip' was not supposed to be taught (according to him) at U8 level and is bad technique besides. I'm not overly concerned with defensive alignment I just think it is better from a...

My son's coach is a good guy and the kids love him (no I'm not coaching as I don't have enough hair as it is - he's already completely bald so has nothing left to lose). How do you find the pathway Reg- help or hindrance? I can see the purpose of it but is it the best way forward for Oz rugby...

How long does Richard Graham have on his contract? Will that have any impact on players staying or going?

Not U6 but my son had his first game of U8s last week and his team were totally pumped, the opposition scored 10 tries to 0 in the first half, think they only got about 8 in the second half. Mind you that is in 2 halves of 15 minutes! My son's coach was unhappy about the fact the other team only...

I'm not sure he will adapt. In that highlights package he didn't seem to be able to tackle at all - just grab an upright player and hold until support arrived. He passed the ball on one occasion only. The tries he did score where he was motoring the players didn't seem to know how to tackle -...

My son plays junior rugby for the Warnervale Wildcats and I will say they are a very well run club.

Central Coast Round Two Results Avoca Beach 25 (Adam Winter, Julian Bacigalupo, Adrian Jones tries; Mitch Graham 2 conversions, 2 penalty goals) d Woy Woy 15 (Daniel Campbell, Tom Holloway tries; Matt Riddell 1 conversion, 1 penalty goal) Gosford 50 (David von Kotze 3, Sam Underwood 2, Chris...

not that I've heard, except the odd FIFO trial. The swans were at my son's school earlier this year and the mungos regularly play games up here, not to mention the mariners. Not sure about declining numbers but noticed a few teams from last years U7s were mia, perhaps the players are still...

Central Coast Rugby Union round 1 results: Avoca Beach 38 d Warnervale 17 Gosford 26 d Woy Woy 20 The Entrance 33 d Kariong 6 Ourimbah 63 d Northlakes 5 Terrigal bye. The two interesting results are Gosford winning by only 6 against Woy Woy who have struggled the last few years and the Rams...

I think the current system is okay, As a Parramatta supporter you should be well aware that only a few short years ago people were calling for the two Blues to be relegated. Gordon apparently have a number of injuries at present and are putting in the hard yards off the field which will show...

You've got more confidence than me AS. I can't see Randwick and Easts allowing the team to move to Gosford except for the odd game every couple of seasons once the team is established. Unfortunately for the Country areas if any player is half decent they will be snapped up by either the Shute...

possibly not the ARU - they seem to believe that Randwick and the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney is located in the country areas of NSW. Maybe they share the same view as successive state governments that NSW is only the Sydney basin.

Shouldn't this be over in the Club Rugby section?

When I referred to zone I meant the local district board. Whether voluntary or not they were appointed to the board due to their experience. As I attempted to imply in my post I would like to see some leadership from said board in the absence of same from higher level boards, clubs should not be...

Not just the SRU and SJRU unfortunately Dave. I was talking to the manager of my son's team yesterday (who has a high level of involvement in the club) and asked specifically about our local zone organisations input into juniors and was told that each club is left to their own devices to get...
