Shute Shield 2013

^^^ So what if you have. There is little point in outing anyone on the threads. If you want bragging rights, then PM them to claim the aforesaid kudos.

If Tah and Feathers wanted to go the Bruce Ross route, and be known as himself, then that is what they would have registered as. The fact they didn't suggests that they would prefer the anonomity afforded by the internet.

Hugh, I agree which is why I haven't named him.My point is that if he is going to push his company under an alias as a means to source players but not disclose he works for them or bag a club because he has inside knowledge via his business then I think he should be aware that he is known. Just saying.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Cool. A reminder using the "Inbox" and "Conversation" functionality (AKA PM - Personal Message) to the individual could suffice that you are "on to them".

There are all sorts of Gaggerlanders on here with all sorts of inside knowledge. Some disclose but the majority don't. One of the beauties of the internet - Do not believe everything posted as the frank and fearless impartial truth.

 

[SackRobbie]

Yep fair enough.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Oh - How rude of me?

SackRobbie, Welcome to Gaggerland. Good to have you aboard.

 

[Pete King]

Anyone know where current Tongan Internationals Eddie Paea (formerly Easts, roosters, syd uni) and Will Helu (Randwick, sths) are Playing? Any confirmation of Peter Samu also?

 

[Tah and feathered]

From your posts Tah and feathered I believe I have worked out who you are..former Randwick heavy who specialised in their Colts age group, works for a NZ rugby recruitment company and you've now moved to Southern Districts. Sound familiar?

Sorry Sack Robbie wrong guy, I do work in the rugby industry and I do have some inside info on what is going on around the rugby circles but not for a recruitment company but over the years I have dealt with a company on player recruitment. Welcome aboard and keep digging
I feel like Julia Gillard at the moment

I know what's happening with some of these players
But Sack Robbie might figure out who I am.

 

[Knuckles]

But serious question anyone know when berrymen comes back from hsi drug ban?

Drug ban? First I've heard of that one.

I like the look of Berryman at 15 for Gordon in 2011. Gamebreaker. Sadly for us, the Shute Shield lost him to Italy.

He's been playing for Cavalieri Prato who up until last week, were leading the comp.

 

[Knuckles]

I was just on the Penrith website and its blank
No info, nothing

it's been blank all year

 

[Knuckles]

was told today from VERY reliable source that the ARU are going to bail out the Emu's to the tune of $200K. They have a huge tax bill that goes back to 2009 and owe all players match fees and sign ons from this year.

Personally, I think this is a very risky move from the ARU.................we all now how many other clubs could go cap in hand!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

They should have some spare drinking tokens now that QC (Quade Cooper) appears to be "off the books".

Teach a man to fish and they will have food every day. Give a man fish and they will be fed one day.

ARU/SRU/NSWRU need to go into the education game not fishmongering.

Sack Robbie since when were you appointed the controller of content of these threads. The fact you shot your mouth of and got it wrong is a concern and it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who you were bagging

OK you've made your point mate.

Now let it go and get back to talking rugby.

Sorry to hear about that T&F. I hope it clears up soon.

Sorry to hear about that T&F. I hope it clears up soon.

Unfortunately I am a Ranga as well but I'm better looking

 

[thierry dusautoir]

I thought I heard berrymen and a few other players from his club tested positive at the beginning of the year?? I will have to do some digging

Knuckles, I hope this is not the case. That is throwing away money that could be used elsewhere. They have had 15 years at the top, and over the years had some help that has got them no where.

If it is available - look at what the AFL did through the schools with Auskick - http://www.aflauskick.com.au/ my daughter loved it.

Is it time to accept the module of the Emus out of Nepean rugby ground is not going to work and maybe move to getting a club setup further up the mountains and have it at say Katoomba and use the Blue Mountains rugby club or go even further to Lithgow and tap into the country region.
Have the club have 2 grade teams and a colts team and 1st year have all teams travel to them.
This is just me thinking aloud and throwing an idea out there

Wouldn't that probably just end up the same club in a different location? I mean that wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to go through all the hullabaloo of moving. Penrith should try little things first, such as updating their website more frequently to get a community aspect going.

I'm not involved with Penrith, I don't know how much or how little they do to drive up numbers and community awareness but there's always more that could be done, that's for sure.
