Wiki says he's been playing 2's at Northampton, and came down here for some experience,heading back for their new season which I believe starts early August.

Liked his footwork - not overstated or exaggerated just effective.

He and Tom Stephenson are from the Aviva Cup team Northampton Saints in the UK. I think they're only here until the end of July. Both 23.

I think Eastwood's main problem is that basically they are soft.
And obviously Ayoub is a huge loss.

He certainly throws into a lineout like a Wallaby hooker!!!!!!!!

His old man built a throwing box at Millner as I recall - has it been sold with the upper fields?

Don't know when Hugh Roach pulled out but it certainly didn't seem as though the Woods had done much work on their lineout during the week

He was pulled out when Latu was disciplined.

I've always loved that throwing box. I've never used it myself but always admired the ingenuity of it's creator.

Have Eastwood not been paying their water rates? Ground looked terrible.

Wamberal will set me straight but I reckon its about par for this time of year - maybe a little better.

It does start to look quite bad and worked by the end of the season, mud patches and all. I'm always impressed every February/March at how good they get it looking again.
Bear in mind they also have league play on there on Sundays, Colts every other Saturday, and they will always play on the field even when it's rained all day

No it's not just Manly - I know of a couple of other clubs that are now doing similar using Try Time.
Agree it would be awesome all SS clubs doing something similar - it is their call.
The following is a summary which is reviewed / improved after each school holidays - I cut and pasted.
Gents, more than happy to promote the game this weekend to the parents that sent their kids the last two days and the previous week. We would be silly not to
All in all it was a really successful 2 camps with a couple of really good things happening relevant to Manly
- 126 kids came along to the two camps out there 55 of them had never been before and heard about us through word of mouth.
- 40 of the kids were in under 6 or under 7 age group which means we can keep growing those younger age groups and bringing them through
- 15 of the kids that came had NEVER PLAYED RUGBY BEFORE so I will look to introduce them to clubs. I know there was at least 5 that are now going to move from Soccer to rugby or from league to rugby. This is exactly what we’re trying to achieve!
- I employed 6 blokes from Manly club at both camps but also at the Chatswood camp as well. These guys earned some $ in the uni/school holidays. I know 3 of them actually took leave from their normal jobs to do the camps as they enjoy it more and can earn more than they would.
- I used Matty Lucas to talk at Chatswood camp and James Hilterbrand to talk at Harbord to again create that alliance with shute shield clubs
The last thing is I have also been using Kotoni, Sio, Harry chapman and David Stenning to all run sessions for me at clubs or privately across Sydney so they’re getting more work there as well.
All in all things are heading in the right direction and I think we’re all benefiting from working together so think the more we do that the better for everyone but especially for the game. Nice to have a good news story in rugby.
Yeah I think if each SS team did this it would be good for our game, good for their brand, and have more young kids (parents) wanting to watch local games and having idols they look up to.
At the moment kids and parents are loving the Marlins Burger.
Haven't tasted the burger since round 10.
And whilst I'm on a bit of a roll, one of our u10's boys did a bit of damage to his elbow - home visit from Marlin and Waratah - Matty Lucas. How to blow the minds of kids and parents, and so good for grass roots
Shute Shield doing good things.

Recruiting youngsters for the Brumbies already. Great move Matty.
He will be dissapointed with the fishing down there - what trout, or strange freshwater species.
Good for rugby, wouldnt surprise me if he works his way into the starting 9.
