Marlins to Brookie - can afford ground hire from Warringah Council more than the Sea Eagles ! Can't imagine the old rivalry leading to Rat Park being available

Can you seal Latham park off to charge admission, and control concession sales of BBQ and liquid refreshments?

If Gordons rugby set up is as professional as their website, they'll go close to taking out the shute shield title in 2014.

as per my post, i think Gordon can surpass the students in 2014
Is this a g up?

Yes, apparently it will also finish in August in line with the finish of the S15 season and start earlier, hence the concern about the availability of some grounds which are also used for cricket.

no. i like the look of what they have in place for 2014
Im willing to take bets - You can have 101-1 odds too.
Happy to hear there is a strong program in place at Gordon, be great if they can perform better this year.

Having 3 colts teams is a start, long long long way for Gordon to go to surpass Uni.

With the advent of the 3rd tier , what about the Shute Shield 2014 & thereafter ?
Does anyone care?
With the slow demise of club Rugby, & propping up the 3rd tier at the expense of the clubs , how is that spreading the game ?
Is there any evidence that club Rugby will be given the extra support it will need ,& if not where ,ultimately , will all the new rep players come from?

I would add the words "at the ARU" between "anyone" and "care" in your second sentence.
Certainly unlikely that the clubs will receive any financial assistance from the ARU from now on. But then again from all accounts they weren't receiving much anyway.
There was an interesting article on the Roar this morning comparing pathways in league (very well established) to union. The writer concluded that the 3T filled an important gap, but (IMO) without successful club rugby (ie 4T) the whole structure could start to resemble a house of cards.
Certainly the lower tiers are much more appreciated and resourced in league at the moment. But of course the NRL clubs are effectively the top tier in league and are where the players earn their livelihoods, unlike union.
I think everyone should be concerned that we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in the enthusiasm in getting the 3T up and running as most of the players will be coming from the clubs.
