Just finished watching the Hobbits vs Woodies game which I recorded yesterday. Great game.

Is there any way of me watching 7Two on Foxtel and recording via my IQ? If not how do you record it Jarse? And besides the Rugby News website are you aware of any way to watch replays or highlights online somehow?

^^^ I record the games by using the Foxtel IQ machine. I have it "series linked", so it just happens.

Tough game played at Syd Uni on Saturday afternoon with the Students v Rats.
Lots of intensity and feeling particularly in the forwards, Liam Winton is an impressive player.
Some interesting tussles in the backs with Tommy Carter's niggle not having much impact, in fact Tommy got 10mins in the bin for a lifting tackle.
Disappointing crowd with possibly more Rats Hillbillies than Uni's Gold members!

Apparently Penrith RSL U14s (a eam primarily of league players having a crack at Rugby for the first time) beat Wahroonga Tigers U14 Blues. While I'm sad for the local lads who haven't had too many games this year, its great to see these kids from Penrith having a crack. Hats off to them and all the parents that came to Cliff oval for the match.

I also saw the Penrith RSL group at ANZ on Sat night. They represented their club very well. Some big units in that squad.

Penrith RSL Juniors and Allambie Jets are apparently Sydney's newest rugby clubs,and they represent a glimmer of hope that all is not doom and gloom at grass roots level across rugbydom in Sydney. It is understood that Gaggerland's own @Cattledog, and @Dave Beat have been actively involved in standing these fledgling clubs up. Well done.

We need to do more to celebrate our successes, no matter how minor they may be.

HJ - I just jump on hear because i enjoy rugby - there were some other gentlemen that did a heap of work in bringing back the Allambie Jets.

Chip and grubber kicks should be banned IMO -- have to be the lowest percentage play in the game. I reckon the Wicks tried 3-4 yesterday and none of them ever looked like coming off. Ball in hand except when under extreme



As you probably know better than I, Coach, kicking was virtually banned at Coogee in the good old days.

Even with a digital tv, have a connection through a set top box and record on usb stick.

Is the rolling maul off a lineout boring play?
No more boring than a scrum that goes on just as long. So it's all in the eye of the beholder.
Should rolling mauls be permitted? Given that the ball carrier can be shielded by multiple team mates, then I vote no. With 7 forwards and a few more backs, say 4, then 11 players blocking access to the ball carrier contravenes the spirit of fair contest.

I suggest the law should be changed so that the support players (ie those without the ball) need to be bound behind or alongside the ball carrier. That would give the defenders some chance of preventing progress and/or getting the ball without acting illegally.

The "use it or lose it law" was introduced to stop teams with dominant forward packs from continuously taking the ball into a maul and then getting the put in / loose head and therefore possession again from the resulting scrum, provided the maul was moving forward before it went to ground. And that gives the defence a chance in general play (eg Ireland v Australia at the last World Cup), but not close to the try line where the defending team has very few legal options.

IMO the players in front of the ball carrier should be offside, especially when the ball carrier has 7 players in front of him and is only holding on with one hand.

As a bare minimum a collapsed maul over the try line should have the "use it or lose it law" applied instead of a 5 metre scrum to the attacking side if they are unable to score a try.

interesting point re ball carrier holding on with one hand. I have always thought that for a player to be 'bound' in the maul he had to have his shoulders in i.e. no meerkatting. I hate seeing those mauls where the player at the back has it under one arm, disengages and then re-engages with the ref looking on. Should be a penalty to the opposition for obstruction.

Gordon won 2nd, 3rd and 4th Grade vs Southern Districts tonight. Conditions were cold and dewy at Chatswood and Beauchamp.

2nd Grade - 31 - 27(both sides got a BP)
3rd Grade - 30 - 12 (Gordon got a BP)
4th Grade - 7 - 5

I have just had a look at the Club Championship Gordon are in 6th place after 10 rounds(still one catch up round grade games for Norths,Manly, Gordon, Uni) as well as one round catch up of Colts for (Norths, Manly, Warringah, Parramatta).

Fair achievement after some very lean years in the last five seasons let's hope the depth can last the season.

Two club Presidents go toe to toe

SATURDAY’S big local derby between Manly and Warringah at Manly Oval is shaping up as a battle between the silvertails and their fibro neighbours.
“Manly are the team to beat – they are definitely premiership favourites,” Rats president Phil Parsons said.
“They are a great club. I know that because they have written a book about themselves.
“They are a very wealthy, highly influential club.”
By contrast, Parsons said, Warringah were the poor cousins up the road.
“Obviously we haven’t done as well from capital gains as they have,” he said.
Parsons wondered whether this would be the last time the two sides played at Manly Oval.
“I hear they may be turning it into a carpark,” he said. “Perhaps we could cohost them at Rat Park.”
Manly president David Begg fired back, saying the last time he checked, the highest property prices on the peninsula were at Palm Beach.
“And if we do have a good balance sheet, it’s because we have people that work really hard on it,” Begg said.
“Even though they are our younger brother, we view them as having three times the amount of space we’ve got, a lot more of a junior nursery and three times the population.
“It’s amazing we have managed to stay so close to them.”
