Galloping Greens

There is a newRandwick iPhone App which is very good. That has details of some players. There are a few top notch Colts plus a few Grade players - these include Tim Donlan from Warringah who is a 9, Alfred Pinomi from WH who is a 4, Sam Figg from Norths who is a back rower. I guess Matt Carraro from the Tahs will also play for the Wicks.

Ok cool does anyone know anything about Pinomi, we definitely need a couple of good second rowers, I hear we have lost a number of 5/8 as well through the club.

Pinomi has played 1st grade for west harbour for a few years - don't know whether he was any good though. I think Geoff Ingram has retired, Nathan Paila has gone back to easts, Matt McKay gone to Easts. Am sure there are a few Locks lined up to come. With the exception of Pinomi, these are unconfirmed.

Jock Armstrong is a good colt coming through in the second row

Dear All - Just noticed that the Randwick Season passes are available again. $50 for 9 home games has to be great value - I just followed the link via the Randwick Rugby web site to buy one.

Me too!

BTW, noticed that Stephen Hoiles has been named at #6 in the Waratah's first trial game as an "invited player". Good luck Steve -- a great player who's has wretched luck over the last few years. Hope he succeeds to picking up a S15 contract.

Also noticed that Matt Carraro has been aligned with the Wicks again, but Kurtley's club is still "TBC" -- not that he's likely to play any SS this year.

Anyone see the trial against the tahs, any good performances?

Yep - saw the Colts & Grade match.
All the Colts played well and drew with the Tahs. Jack Johnson was good as were most of them.
I thought Mark Baldwin & Oli Nicholson were my picks for good performances in grade. I also thought Toa was solid. Our pack looked a little on the small side. It was a very good hit out with all players putting in.

There's a write up (by Tom Connor) of the trials on the Wicks web site.

He is a quality bloke TC, of immense character.
Wrapping Baldwin who he will be going head to head with for a starting first grade spot. I had heard he was a cut above too.

 

[the coach]

Dates for trials:
8 March – 1st/2nds – camp at Goulburn.
3rds/4ths versus Sydney Irish. Colts squad v Orange Emus
(I think 3rds/4ths is at Latham)
15 March – club trial v Warringah (A)
22 March – club trial v Eastwood (A)

 

[Pete King]

noticed on the team list for the Gen Blue side that LaLa is still listed at Randwick, has he definately left?? Also good to see Baldwin get a start at 7 and who is Pieter Engelbrecht named in the centres???

Interesting 3rd colts and 4th grade are playing warringah when the other grades are playing Norths
Is that because Norths don't have a 3rd colts and a 4th grade?

 

[refugee]

Either that or elite and not so elite
Training for the not so elite is seperate to the elite
Can this be confirmed as part of the green move to NRC?

How do you get a South African to play for you if your not paying your players?

If you could guarantee them Permanent Residency you'd find plenty who would pay you to let them play.
