It's a pity Dombkins from Manly was not considered for this

It should be a great day of football at Concord tomorrow with the first grade being a toss of the coin - Souths have the momentum but Eastwood are very professional. The lower grades will also be good games especially third grade with two teams with plenty of attacking ability. Tips Eastwood...

if it is u 21 there are a lot of players that have been playing grade that have been overlooked, Dombkins for 1. I suppose it is the same when new competitions/development opportunites arise - short term memory loss means only recent "superstars" are considered and those that have been playing...

So this is an under 20 development squad?

Does it really matter?

Yes they were pretty good. I recall the No. 11 was shown in the program as Michael Manners, a short stout winger with plenty of pace. Was at Uni yesterday and saw the Manly 2's get a good win. Gordon certainly competed and the Manly boys had to really work for the win. They got the lead right...

Gordon are very strong in 2's, as shown in the defeat of Uni last week. They have had his team for most of the season, so I think a decision was made early to target this grade. They will certainly give Manly a tough game on Sunday and the outcome is not a given. In saying that I think Manly...

The only problem is that the rag has a lot of influence on the masses and the perceptions people and potential sponsors have of our game

Kane Douglas is going overseas next year and it may be part of his contract that once Super Rugby finished he can't play SS. As for those players in the Wallaby training group they may not be released this week as the game day 23 is not yet chosen. Once this is done early next week they may be released...

The only player that might not be available on GF day is Skelton as he is the only one likely to be in the game day 23 for the Bledisoe

If we do win the Bledisoe be prepared for the League media to do a full on blitz on Rugby next year. With the Tah's winning Super Rugby, a successful Bledisoe followed by a Northern tour the opportunities for Rugby to gather back some lost ground are very good, possibly even better than after the 2003...

I think the Super Rugby players not involved with the Wallabies do qualify. If they didn't then Uni have breached the rules of qualification in previous years. I'm not saying it's wrong or right. If it was just 1 or 2 maybe it's not an issue. I'm sure Eastwood, Manly and Warringah would like to play...

^^So a Randwick NRC side would not reflect their SS side as players would be selected from other sides. The difference to what happens now is........

I still reckon Uni's GF team if they make it, will be different to what team takes the field this week

What the Hobbits really destroyed was an unbelievable day at the Green watching Manly play Warringah for a spot in the GF. It would have been epic

HJ I can't quite agree here. Over the season I haven't read too much antagonism against MMM - one or two only. However, the other mob have had a number of detractors over the years. We all know anyone's second team is that one playing against Uni. If the GF is that one I believe Manly will have...

The u21 concept is to provide development after the u20 stage

A bit more info has been filtered through. If it happens it will definitely be u21 and at this stage will be played among the Sydney teams

Heard some people today talking about the NRC U21 comp. has anyone heard anything about this?

I see Matt Phillips from Manly has been listed with the Stars. Now why would he have gone and talked to them after he was listed in the Rays squad?
