Southern Inland Rugby 2025

Maybe.
But again the clubs were ok with this at the AGM with zero complaints at the time.
So I guess we move on and park it as a non issue

At that point in time SIRU and Central West were deep in conversations for a 2 week competition pre Easter. Central West pulled the pin on that.

There wasn't a lot of interest in the zone at the AGM of having 1 week of competition and then 2 weeks off before round 2 with Easter and Anzac Day byes.

We're doing 1 week before Easter in Subbies here in Sydney. TBH it kind of sucks, but better than landing a week after Easter with no trial the weekend before. However the comp has a break for the Waratahs v Lions and Wallabies v Lions as well as a wet weather weekend before finals, so 14 weeks + finals becomes 17 weeks + finals in effect. Add another week for Easter.

I kind of see a good thing in a May start: allows trial matches after Easter to ensure everyone is good to go.

with the collapse of the SIRU vs Central West Trials are there any locked in trials for clubs in the Zone?

 

[Maulalltheway]

central west forum might be the place to find out

Maybe there would be more posts and less deletes Mauler if everybody didn’t feel like they had to sing from the same hym book.

I also just worked out that the admins clearly delete also.
The post I was talking about was rather slanderous and was removed. Anyway.

As up the jumper said bring on May and the comp games. Hopefully as tight and exciting as super rugby so far

happy monday gagr's.

So ive been thinking about the various challenge shields in rugby. winner defends the shield at home.

NPC has the Ranfurly Shield
Shute shield has the Sir Roden Cutler Shield
John I Dent cup has the Bob Hitchcock shield.

question 1,
would this be an exciting addition for our zone.

question 2,
who has been influential enough in Riverina Rugby/SIRU for the hypothetical shield to be named after.
