Word is that Colleagues have recruited well & have a new 15 cap International playing for them plus a number of Shute Shield 1st graders from 2015.
Clearly the new rules don't apply to some..
Angus McGregor played 14 first grade games for Sydney Uni last year
James Kennelly played 1's & 2's for Sydney Uni.
International is 2014 US Eagles Captain Toby Lestrange: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_L'Estrange
Can't see Kennelly's name in SU annual report, which lists everyone who played grade.Angus McGregor played 14 first grade games for Sydney Uni last year

Didn't realise Toby L'Estrange played in July 2015.

To pretend he wouldn't get paid to play an International is outrageous so he's obviously a professional player.
I think it's pretty humorous that Subbies have cleared him to play. Probably never used google at Subbies HQ.
Does anyone know what the rules are regarding uploading team sheets?
Do you have to do it?
We're a bit concerned that we may tipping our upcoming opponents into who is getting our tries, when other sides appear to be making no effort to upload teams.
There's some massive scores getting run up early and knowing 'player x got 4 tries on the weekend' might be helpful info.

A mate of mine who plays for Waverley says they have recruited very well and have their sights set on Div 1. They put a lot of effort into building a great club culture, even if it does have tinges of arrogance.
Clubs get a little leeway at he start of the year but all team sheets are supposed to be uploaded correctly by Tuesday following the game.
Clubs are supposed to be fined when they breach this.
Waverley juggernaut continues although they did lose their 1st game of the year in colts on Saturday. Apparently they have a former Welsh international in the front row that gives them a great platform. I'll be interested to see how they are placed after the 1st round with HH, Forest and Mountains still to come.
I believe he played for them last season too. I think they have a bunch of handy players from the UK in the forward pack.
Yeah he's been playing there for a couple of years now, and if I'm not mistaken is also 1st grade coach - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Evans
If that's the case wouldn't he be the only coach in the top 3 Divisions that doesn't get paid?
Cause if he did get paid he couldn't play for them as well as he'd be a professional wouldn't he?
I'd be surprised if the other Div 2 teams turned a blind eye to another case of the 'Pierre Hola rule' based on Subbies stipulations this year.

Think you might be greatly overstating the amount of head coaches in subbies getting paid..even in the top divisions
