Players aren't aligning strictly along Shute Shield club lines.

Will this be an indicator for where players may be in Shute Shield 2017, or is it just one of those things?

Given the lions share of Waratahs are aligned with The Wix or The Corporation, there are not many in the Eagles and not too many that would identify with NSW Country Rugby.

Such is life.

Hopefully there will be some Waratahs allocated to the Rams and Ray's, and not just Marquee Waratahs who will not be seen on the field of play.

4 Development NRC Rookies: - Kagiassis, Newsome, Short, and McCaughley.

The three Scots boys would have spent a couple of terms at Glengarry. Not country per se, but it's not in the city. ;)

That's a high bar you're creating Hugh.

If you promise you saw a couple of sheep and cattle out of the car window on your way to Thredbo that gets you qualification for NSW Country Eagles.

Has Will Miller gone to the Rays? Do you think Roberts will play 10 with AK (Andrew Kellaway) at 15?

Wait, I'll just call my uncle who recently moved out to Gulargambone. No seriously, I have an uncle who just moved out there.
 

Pass it to Dunning!

I'm pretty surprised Adams is playing for NSW Country, given he'd probably be starting rather than on the bench for the Rams, and he has no connection to NSW Country or any of the affiliated clubs.

You got a source for this BH? The Rising have also listed Chibba as one of their marquee players.

Yea, just tried looking for it too. Looks like some argy bargey over the marquee spots. We will happily keep Chibba down with us.

I wonder where Jim Stewart is going to play this year? Would have expected him to be in this team.

Think Jim Stewart suffered a bad neck injury in the GF hence his unavailability. That is unconfirmed however is believed to be correct.
