The only other club wit him worse talent identification is petefsham. They have had talented players defect to their club but they let them rot in the lower grades and lost them. A goodnight selection committee and they are club champs in div one.

Oh yes sorry. Great game and Balmain won 14-7. Rees' try was a thing of beauty. Gruelling game in fours though. Balmain could t score a try despite a good defensive effort. Filthy at the coaching gsmeplan. Might be time for a coaching change

And with all due credit I don't know who this Knox fullback is, but I really want Balmain to poach him!

Yeah right. Well if the plods at Epping don't want to tap into the undiscovered Japanese market then someone else nearby like Lane Cove or Skinny Minnys club will. That's all I'm saying furthermore on the matter and let that be a warning to Eppings survival. On another note, This Balmain v...

Hey Skinny, May I ask what club you are involved in!? I have a lot of ideas on how to grow either the game, or a club. I'm big on growth. Seems odd that people here wouldn't welcome increased numbers and coverage.

I believe in growth from the ground up. Organic growth that starts obviously at subbies. Grassroots movement. We tried doing it from the top down in the 90s with Wendell sailor and it did nothing. Then again with the NRC... twice. Besides, weren't you one of the Neanderthals who dissed my...

If you can't be a visionary then that's okay, but all I ask is don't get in the way of those who do dream

Why am I on drugs?!?! Because I am the only person in this country who is a visionary regarding the state of the game of Rugby Union here? If having a vision means I am a drug addict then by all means I am a junkie.

Seriously I understand your point that people play for the love of the game but I disagree that it is just to have a run with friends. Subbies is for everyone. People who want to compete, people who want to talk dumb stuff, people who are lonely. People who are athletes. Whoever you are, there's...

The thing is, without payment, I struggle to see the incentive for clubs to field high grade teams. Why would you compete and risk injury against well drilled male mountains when you could drop two grades and dominate sides and take home the premiership. I know what I'd find more appealing...
