Thanks for that. We have to wait until 3.30 am Tuesday for the replay.

It is available on ABC Iview on the net.

Thommo's got the hang of the new fangled technology and has got his match report of Parra's win over Wests up on the Parra website already. Who said old dogs can't learn new tricks?

 

[Yeah Nah Yeah]

Anyone know which club Growden is talking about when he refers to a "racist" club known as the KKK?

I do, but I don't think much is gained by criticising other clubs. Hopefully the club concerned is working to purge the rogue element.

Adam is a great prospect and he had another fine game today. Stole a few of West's throws, won Parra's own, did the hard work in tight and made ground every time he had the ball. Couldn't really ask for more.

Yes, that someone with some vision signs him to a Super Rugby contract. I would love to say the Tahs but atm I'm not too sure.

Despite being a great line out prospect his problem lies around 'structured' play at higher levels (Waratah A / Aus 20's) and his body position at scrum time (Transferring weight through the scrum). I've been able to watch him in a few games this year and believe, Parramattas ad-lib football allows Coleman to inject himself into the contest in small bursts rather then being a lock who has a high work rate throughout the whole game. His areas of improvement are easy fix issues but he must be willing to work.

Most of what Growden writes in his gossip column is rubbish and baseless.

Has the Sydney team been finalised? 2 players named in the squad played against each other on Saturday and were heard to remark after the game they'd heard nothing from the Sydney coach, manager or anyone since the original training run, which was described by one of them as a shemozzle.

Apparently the genuises that run the Sydney rep team told the players last Monday night, if you dont hear from us, you're in the team............

I have no idea who is coaching the side, as it has never been announced......was it even advertised? But f me, if thats the selection policy then the whole system is floored.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The promise of progress under Sydney RU seems to be nothing other than more of the same hamfistedness that we have had to put up in recent times under NSW RU and ARU when they ran the shop.

I was looking forward to change.

Change is what we are getting, but I'm not sure it is change for the better.

 

[Drew]

I think bryce speechley comes from the north coast

Nothing has been announced on any website but I hear players were notified by email on Sunday if they didnt make the team!! Sounds like SRU at its best!! Game has been moved from the mud flats of Manly oval to Concord

 

[latrell247]

Concord would seem ideal as Manly Oval was shocking last weekend

He does - played in the "blood and bandages" of the Grafton Redmen.

This is peculiar, there's no SS clubs in my knowledge without at least a few polynesian players.
