5 Yellow Cards? A team playing against Waratahs? That's very strange. Who would have thought?
Heard from a couple of reasonable sources that conversations around CSU have included two unpleasant words; "crisis meeting"
Such a sad demise and indictment on such a once proud and successful club.
Please feel free to correct me but didn't Reddies win 3rds, womens and 2's against Tumut on the weekend ? And go down by 4 points at the death knock in 1's ?
Completely agree Bubba.
There are some rubbish comments floating around on the decline of CSU. Teams go through ups and downs. Wasn't all that long ago CSU were on the brink of Grand finals and premierships. All sides fluctuate. Rather than comment on their demise we should be offering solutions (not a merger with City, as banged on about previously) on how they can move forward. i don't have an answer here. however it needs to start with the student base.
Historically it seems hard for both sides from the Uni to maintain high levels of results concurrently. 2007 was one of these times however Ag College was student based and CSU were getting the best out of the golden ago of Hood, Tora et al.
Early 2000's Ag College struggled. Lower player numbers coming from only Ag Science degrees. CSU were a very strong club in this era. 2005 premiership and i think 5 consecutive 2nd grade premierships. The Vet science degree was the catalyst for a switch of the student base to Ag Rugby.
Back to the reddies. 2 tight losses and 1 bad loss isn't panic stations. They're a team that's in a rut, cant quite close a game out. Nobody likes being there, but all sides come out of them.
Give them time
Two weeks... Seems a bit harsh for two yellowsDid Vunilagi end up getting a suspension for his 2 Yellow Cards ?
