For those punters here in Wagga, get down to the Wagga Civic Centre tomorrow afternoon and welcome home our first Olympic Gold Medalist!

A great role model for female athletes and a boon for rugby union in general and definitely for this area of the world!

I'll be there for this one!

From what you hear around the traps and read between the lines, it seems each of the three mentioned above jumped before they could be pushed...

Let the silly season begin...

Looks like Temora & Coota are taking all before them in the Ceentral West Grain Fed Competition this year.?
Temora head to Blayney (Fairly long trip) on sat and the Tri-Colours host the Wyalong Weavils - What Odds a Temora v Coota Grand Final ?

Looks like the Fairy Tale Grand Final between Temora & Coota didn't happen
Coota beat Temora last Saturday in a Preliminary Final and will now travel To Blayney ? to try and win the Grand Final this Saturday.
It would be interesting to hear if the move to C/West has improved their standard of Rugby and attracted more players
The SIRU Home and Away Comp worked a treat this year so I don't see any changes to the SIRU structure next year

No chocolates for Coota yesterday at Blayney
Reading this article in appears that the TriColours are as happy as Pigs in Mud

That seem to have found their standard and winning more matches than they ever did in SIRU in recent years seems to be the solution they were looking for

Hey Sam I see you get a mention in the DA today

"Karma will come to you Sam" - Do u need a Counsellor ?

http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/4138297/honeyman-cautioned-as-hobbs-outed/?cs=149

Sounds like real sour grapes from the Wagga City coach & the Club
I hope Honeyman isn't trying to follow in the footsteps of the current Wallabies coach for always blaming the Referees after a loss.

Sounds like SIRU did the right thing and brought him to account over his comments

Waratahs v City in their first match next year should be INTERESTING !!

Yes, I am aware of the article.

I fail to see any value in commenting on this.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Hobbs the Tahs player who mouthed off at a Griffith player a couple of years back? Seem to remember he was given a little touch up for his troubles.... Seems to be a pattern of unsportsmanlike behaviour from him.
I saying that, Honeyman, Facebook isn't the place to vent your frustrations. Real men front up; man to man.

 

[Sicnarf]

Can't recall Hobbs being involved but do remember that there was a bit of bad blood between Griffith & 'Tahs for a while
Hey Will M can you give us an update on who is staying and who is leaving from Waratahs this year
The Rumour mill has Angus Lievre going to Canberra and the likes of Armstrong, Corcoran, Hobbs & Munro all retiring
City looking good bets for next year already with Aggies expected to be not far behind them

I think it's time to move on to the 2017 season...


Thanks to all the contributors on this forum for your input into this thread, you may be amazed that we have readers from as far away as the US, Scotland and South Africa checking in to see what's doing in the SIRU thread, I look forward to seeing you input over at our new 2017 digs.

Cheers,
Sam
