I agree with the coach and I like to watch, it's only a good thing in specific circumstances. No point parking a 21yo on the pine when he could be playing 2nds.

However, the fact is playing rugby, cooling down, then coming on for a cheeky 20 minutes increases your injury risk by a huge margin (or more than 20 if there's an injury!). Even if you warm up properly for your 2nd go, the risk is still far higher and the science on this is pretty conclusive.

Thats the trouble with progress: there wasn't any science in the 70s and 80s so no one got injured

^^^^^the majority of players at SS level are amateurs.Most if they receive anything, receive match payments.
But the advent of pro coaches has brought about this crazy environment where some pro coaches think players can be treated like Rugby is their livelihood, when it clearly isn't.

Having 4 fresh reserves, and giving some of them less than 10 minutes of Rugby for the week,is outrageously selfish IMO.
Last week v Wicks one Rats fresh reserve never got on.
Who gets better or fitter sitting on a bench?

I can confirm Rats did not leave a fresh reserve on the bench v Wicks last Saturday.

I stand corrected.
That's not to say I don't believe that fresh reserves at this level should be treated in the same manner as freshies in higher levels. They are not full time employees.
Pretty sure Holton never got on when Marlins played the Rats as well.

That's just Manly isn't it?

Not trying to be critical. I think that if the SS wants to truly be'the best club competition in the world' more efforts like this are needed right across the board. This is the Manly Roos program right?

The SS clubs need to devise strategies to develop greater connections within their local communities and projects such as Try Time are something they should all be looking to adopt and nurture.

Others should be focused around building club engagement and membership and looking further afield in regards to growing the participation within the competition.

No it is not the Manly Roos program.

It is Try Time Rugby Camps.

Awesome Camps, so we floated the idea to create Manly Branded ones, and they have developed from there.

Great provider and now we have Marlins coaching the kids and creating a brand, identity, pathway for the kids.

That camp was at Allambie Jets one of the Marlins Village clubs - we had kids from all over the place come.

Last year we had soccer players come to the Camps, this year those kids and parents are loving their rugby.

15-12 at half time at Penrith, it's been great listening to it on the radio. Hoping the Emus can break the drought.

Well done Wicks, you beat us up front, you beat us in the backs, you kicked better, you defended better, your tactics were better, and so was your execution in just about every aspect of the game. We were pants.


Have I missed anything?

Gonzalez was the star for the Woods and one of the best on the park as he was in the first round. Starkey was brilliant for the Wicks and the 2 Pom Toms Stephenson and Collins also impressed whilst Latu is just impossible to tackle. Thought the forwards cancelled each other out but Wicks had the edge in the backs.
