Sydney Subbies 2015

[Pfitzy]

Fucking hell here's half your problem:

Chairman – NSW Suburban Rugby Union
Tony Fisher (President Sydney Junior Rugby Union)
John Hamilton (President NSW Country Junior Rugby Union)
Barry Ruddy (President NSW Country Rugby Union)
Terry Woodward (Executive Officer NSW Country Rugby)
Rob Millner (Chairman Sydney Rugby Union)
Bill Pulver (CEO Australian Rugby Union)
Nick Farr-Jones (Chairman NSW Rugby Union)

How many fucking organisations do we actually NEED?

Letter to the ARU is worth reading. As said above, it doesn't pull any punches.

That's a really eloquent detailing of the problems associated with the introduction of the new scheme. Take some time to think if the clubs in Queensland, ACT & Southern NSW, and WA who are contending with a state based registration fee of between $22 and $65 for a senior player on top of the levy ARUs $33 per player.

It is scary to think that, for clubs like mine at Epping and other locals like Mac Uni and Beecroft, we could be funding the likes of Eastwood with whom we compete for players with

Word through the old rugby grape vine is that former Tongan International and Shute Shield premiership winner Pierre Hola will be making his way down to Boronia Park for next year. That will be another former international added to the HH ranks. Considering that player payments have been banned for next year, I can only assume that the lads in Black and White make a mean steak sanga.....

I believe that he was on good coin at the woods.... Wonder what the attraction of playing at boronia park is???

I hope the steak sanga's come in a brown paper bag.

Same as all the Gordon boys getting at Brothers since 2011: less training, less commitment.

Not the only reasons, Pfitzy

Of course. The chance to actually win something would also be a factor

The integrity committee will be all over the high-profile guys. Reckon there is a very low chance there is dodgy activity there.

It's the no-name blokes you have to worry about.

Heard that a number of 1st graders from Easts are going to turn out for Balmain in 2015?

Rugby Union has more vested interests than the Middle East peace negotiations , the defunct Adelaide Steamship corporate structure in the 80's looked more workable .

Steady on about using the Adelaide Steamship 1980's comparison.

I concede the Middle East.

I'm sure that will interest the new integrity unit.

Redfield Old Boys looking for a new Head Coach in 2015. Competing in Division 3 with four senior teams. If interested (or know someone who might be) comment below or drop me an email at Thomas dot Tudehope at gmail dot com.

Word on the street is that 2015 will see enormous player movement not only between subbies but a potential influx of Grade players into the subbies ranks. My mail is a local derby between bitter rivals just took on a new complexion with player movements between the clubs suggesting fireworks when they next meet.

 

[Brendan Hume]

Any news on the new insurance and participant fees in Subbies?

 

[Heavyd]

Not sure. I did here that the SJRU has indicated to its union that as a transtition to the new fees it will pay the ARU the cost of the per player rego fee for this year. Sadly a short term outcome that will leave the SJRU financially vunerable from next year. Team insurance is staying and apart from $157K going to development officers the rest gets given to SS clubs in NSWRU grants. I can assure you that not one subbies club will want 1 cent of their money going towards SS clubs who they compete with for players, sponsors etc.

 

[Ozzie Bob]

I see Al Astley isn't coaching Forest this year. Has been in subbies for as long as i can remember. Any idea where he has gone?

 

[Cactus Jack]

can anyone shed light on the rumour I heard yesterday that the Brothers Club will be receiving a one year exemption from the "amateur status" due to already signing a significant number of Gordon higher graders?? Surely this can't be true!
