Don’t reckon anyone would have picked the round. Hunter over the Rats is huge and Eastwood over Wicks.

How good. @wamberal99 must be happy.

Rats score 2 tries in last 4 mins to make score misleading. They looked very disjointed with all the new faces but on their day the backline looks to have plenty of points in it. Wildfire has a workman like pack good across the set piece. A very good win for them.

One pretty mediocre decision could have cost us the game, Randwick player dropped the pill cold as he grounded it. Luckily we managed to snatch the game.

They do go through some GMs there dont they, the new one lasted 3 months then.

What a cracking first week of rugby. It certainly looks like a lot of teams, with their new faces, are still trying to wrinkle out some combinations and cohesion, as expected.

Gordon and Hunter have a pretty stable 1st team with added power in couple of positions, i think that helps cohesion really well.

parra, west harbour and souths all having 4 grades is really good to see. parra were pretty close/competitive in 1s, 2s and 3s, and souths did well in the 3s and 4s, only fairs well for what i call the normal struggling clubs. (all based on club champ results for last few years)

Its going to be a close season for sure i think!

Uni were very very good!

Hearing the front runner for the Eastwood GM role is a bloke up in Queensland. Anyone know who that may be?

My cousin would know. But I do not know.
