Good the see the Phantoms in both.
Well done to the players and clubs involved

Hear Hear
Great to see Dylan Pietsch get selected considering he played with the Waratahs this season

Awesome news at the senior level. There’s also a number of up and coming athletes in the Under 16 and 18 levels playing at the National Sevens this week as well.

Georgie Hayes, Eli Fuller, Nick Betts and Lara Curry off the top of my head. Tevita Robertson is another handy young prop/hooker coming through.

what a cracking weekend for little old SIRU. 4 of our own representing Australia.

Its so nice to have some good news stories like this from time to time!

Congrats to all

yeah organised sport across the board is a battle these days.

Griffith v City. 1sts & 2nds combined scores 203 to nil. Something has to give surely.

 

[Bubba 2.0]

I am going to defend Griffith here . They showed up with approx 30 blokes to play 3 grades and they did . That it was old men and boys was even more impressive . They tried their best and that is all you can ask. No excuses, no complaining and no forfeits .

What has to give is the local players and community . People need to step up and help.

Blacks are a proud club. Don’t know why anyone would need defending. Strange comment. 3 games played. 248 to nil. Fact. Can you give any examples of incentives local rugby communities in Wagga are offering that encourage local players.

Dont start this unfounded slander again Paul. Not what this place is about.

Be better than this

Getting back to the Real World - The SIRU Comp is simply a race for 3 - It is there for City to lose and Waratahs and Ag College to fight out who tries to ruin City's perfect season so far.
Tumut & Reddies are making up the numbers and whoever makes 4th place (most likely Tumut) will be eliminated very quickly by Aggies.
The current SIRU 1st Grade ladder has Griffith listed with a For & Against figure of -589 (with 1 win during the season against Albury) and the winless Albury have a for & against of -672 which means that Griffiths average weekly losing margin this season after 12 matches is 49 and Albury's is a staggering 56 points losing margin each Round.
These figures are unheard of for these 2 proud Clubs and it will be interesting to see what is being planned for the future by both Clubs and SIRU who must have some strategic plan hopefully in place.
These are Real problems and require Real solutions or the Competition will be further compromised in the near and long term future

1 Round to go before the Finals and Reddies have at least given themselves a chance (it's a pretty slim one) of qualifying for a Minor Semi against Ag College (on Aug 3) who they co-incidentally host this Saturday.
Reddies are currently 5th on 33 pts and trail Tumut by 4 pts on the Ladder.
If Tumut get no competition points against the undefeated City next Saturday (which is highly likely) then Reddies will need to beat Ag College and also score 4 tries or more to edge ahead of the Tumut Bulls.
A win by Reddies without a Bonus Point (not scoring 4 tries ) will not be enough to dislodge Tumut from 4th place as Tumut's for and against is far superior than Reddies.
Week 1 Finals are at Conolly Rugby park and the Grand Finals will also be at Conolly - not sure where the Week 2 Finals are being played.
Good Luck to all teams this Saturday for the final round of matches

Week 2 at Tumut I believe

Am I reading correctly that the SIRU president is pre-empting the judiciary in suggesting 2 red card recipients will go unpunished. That the SIRU board may override the existing system to allow a club to participate in the finals even if the other 3 clubs vote against it. This is involving a club that has had 3 games called off early throughout the season.

i didnt read it that way. seemed more to me that there wont be any sanctions to the club. The judiciary will happen as usual

 

[paul bristow]

Yeah I think you’re right in the way you’re reading it Mauler. A bit unfortunate the way it was written.

G'day Gentlemen,

Long-time reader and first-time commenter on this particular forum. I've just noticed the head coaching role at Wagga Agricultural College is currently advertised. I would love some honest information about the culture of the club and the Southern Inland Competition as a junior coach looking to work into some amateur coaching. I'm currently located in Canberra; however, I am unsure yet if I can make the commitment to put an application in for the job.

It seems the job would be done without any remuneration, which is less interesting to me, especially regarding travel. On the surface, however, it seems like a great club or coaching opportunity at a club that would give a lot back to regional rugby, which is really awesome.

Thanks in advance, any information is appreciated.

I've attached the advertisment below.

Great club. Big numbers of young people who train and play hard, on and off the field. Rare to find anyone over the age of 25 or so at the club. It is highly unlikely there would be remuneration. Would be somewhat rare for most clubs in the region.

 

[Maulalltheway]

Weather forecast looks to be favourable for a cracker of a day on Saturday.

Fingers crossed the games are as good

How Good has the last 24 hours been for SIRU,

Biola Dawa wins Brumbies Super W player of the year yesterday and Corey Toole gets selected in the Wallabies squad today. Great week for SIRU as a pathway
