Yes but that certainly isn't a reflection of their current success is it?

No it's not but I wasn't suggesting it was.

just using balmain area as a example
junior rugby league in balmain alone has plenty (although id admit some of these teams are stretching it to be classified as "balmain" but you can take them out if you want) http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=7-2147-0-0-0&a=CLUBS
balmain junior cricket http://www.balmaincricket.com.au/teams.php?op=
junior afl has two more clubs than union http://www.balmaindockers.com.au/communitynews/juniorclubs.html
while they may not have huge participation numbers, all these codes are ahead of union in this area
Maybe you could start by sending back all the West Harbour players who are there.I think there have been at least 7 play first grade with Eastwood this year.
Not sure about the exact number, but you are correct. Consequently, I think you will find some of the lower grade players who have come through Eastwood Colts, going elsewhere next year.

Okay fellow Shute Shield enthusiasts, I'm rather perplexed with the Shute Shield history at the moment. Who won in 2005? Was it Uni or the Rats? Here a link of a Shute Shield preview saying the Rats won.
On the Sydney University website it says
2005 Sydney University 41
Eastwood 5
on wiki it says

I seem to recall that their were two comps - the first round (with no Super 12 players) culminated in the playing of the Shute shield Grand Final with the Rats winning. THe comp then continued, I think as the TOoheys Cup or something similar, with Super 12 players in it, which was won by Uni

In 2005 and 2006 the Shute Shield was played for after the first round of home and away fixtures. The first grade competition was reset and the Tooheys New Cup was played for on grand final day at the end of the season. Warringah won the Shute Shield in 2005 so Wiki is incorrect if it says Uni won. Uni then won the Tooheys New Cup over Eastwoood. They TNC was considered the Premiership trophy those seasons. See here for a list of past premiership winners

Wiki also shows Manly winning in 83 - IIRC it was Norths as the large clubs played in competition under the NSWRU, as they did not support promotion/relegation.Okay fellow Shute Shield enthusiasts, I'm rather perplexed with the Shute Shield history at the moment.

Pretty sure Norths played in the then second division comp in 1983. Uni was down there, too having been relegated the year before.

I thought it was 85 or 86 when the big boys played their own comp - obviously the name would be on the shield.

Ok, what does everything think about the report in the SMH about the ARU enforcing zero player payments for Shute Shield with the Soup 15 having academies with players paid 10 k a year. I just think it will send every thing underground with brown paper bags every where. it may help even things out but I just think rich clubs will find away around it. Not a lot coming out of the ARU. Any body hearing any thing else ?

There's a thread devoted to it specifically: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/co...ugby-and-the-60k-persuader.13442/#post-535071
I dont see how it will even everything out, partly for the reasons you mention and partly because the sanction of removing $60k is not that big a deterrent to clubs with funds, in particular the 2 grand finalists this weke who have, through good management, put themselves in a pretty handy financial position.

The amateur status will probably mean that instances like David Harvey for the Rats for example are being paid by the Friends of Warringah organisation. I have no issues with this but agree with the ARU in that why give a club $60k who will spend it on frignge mungos and kiwis which will add zero development to Aus rugby....
Maybe the ARU should pay for $60 worth of bills instead, like insurance, physios, strapping tape and ground hire with a small cash payment as well.
