They are impressive nonetheless. I am sure they are frustrating for fans to support but I've been super impressed with them. A game breaking outside back would be great.
They are traveling better than the 2 Qld teams.

What we need is someone other than Asquith at 10. He can captain from 12 and let someone with a better decision-making process for guiding the team around.
I've watched one game of him live, and he still approaches it like a 7s player - mostly in terms of doing too much in space he doesn't have.

Looks set to be a pretty big day. Hopefully they can get a fairly sizeable crowd to suit.

Loving what the Rams have been doing to trying to get a crowd in. I seriously hope they do get a good crowd!

It'd be good if they won a game or two before season's end, but if there are any NRC smokies signed on Super Rugby contracts it'll be from the Rams.
Latunipulu, Paenga-Amosa, Lolohea, Goodall, Viiga, and Sopoaga all look capable of making a step up (even if that's out Europe or Japan way) and Toleafoa looks deserving of Tahs minutes at lock (he hasn't been as good as Hanigan, but he's also taller).
The Rams are doing admirable things.
Here's a good yarn by Steve Cummins about playing against his best mate Will Skelton for the first time as professionals.

Haha sad retrospectively.
The Rams looked better with two line out jumping locks anyway.
I hate seeing Filimone Tufui on the bench anyway, he's been one of the few consistent faces in the Rams year-in, year-out and should be treated as such.

Eastwood have taken ownership of the Rams, and John Maneti a potential new coach

WOW what how when.
Was this a money transaction- at the start didn't they want no financial investment?

From ARU :
Eastwood goes west
There's been another ownership shakeup in the NRC. Off the back of this week's announcement that the Vikings Group would be taking over the Canberra NRC side, the Western Sydney Rams are also set to find themselves in new hands.
The Rams' private owners are believed to have offloaded the club, with Shute Shield club Eastwood effectively taking the reins from now own. John Maneti has been mentioned as a potential coach.

Wonder what would happen if they played as "Eastwood" in the NRC? Would they get bigger crowds?

They'd lose my support.
This does seem like an interesting turn of events. Wonder how long before we get news of say Manly taking control of the Rays licence etc. and so on. Seems very much like the possible beginning of a trend.

I think they should also continue to play out of Concord Oval. While even that is a bit of a stretch to declare as 'Western Sydney' playing out of TG Milner would be seen as taking the piss by many in the region.

Read on twitter that they're looking to change to the North West Rams.

Actually quite pleased initially as papworth was pretty anti nrc in times past and can only assume by this it means that is no longer the case. 100% rather papworth inside the tent then pissing on the nrc from outside the tent.
