Would be great. Just thinking about the injury counts and mid-year Euro vacations ;) They're in the comp ladder so that's a good sign.

Before getting all uppity, you might want to acknowledge the fraud. Guess Geoff left that out of his Fabulous Bio you pasted with such righteous disregard. https://www.theroar.com.au/2009/05/04/firepower-the-most-spectacular-fraud-in-australian-history/

Only listed for this weekend in the draw so far and at 1045. So is it more of a Halligan cup thing?

Div 4 Chatswood v Renegades - we're missing our RAAF contingent due to military rugby duties, so that puts some pressure on key positions straight away. Hopefully there is enough left to keep the Stags contained and sneak a win. Canterbury v Redfield - Berries have some good numbers at home and...

Again: the article on The Roar states they want people with financial acumen. And then Stooke is part of that group. Give me strength.

4 from 4 - Wakehurst, Redfield, and Renegades very short on numbers. We managed to overpower Kings in the last quarter. They were running into the wind but still scored a couple of nice tries. Forwards had to roll their sleeves up.

Here in Western Sydney it happens all the time. Right now my club has about a dozen former players and a coach or two at other clubs in the area. The irony is some of them came FROM those clubs because they didn't like how it was being run... Then you have Two Blues who are living on the edge...

Hopefully. There are some good signs among all the rumours that keyboard warriors are starting in cahoots with their stalking horse accounts :rolleyes: Longer term? I think we're still going to see sporadic issues in the lower three Divisions as volunteers and players cycle through the system.

I also support the belief that Juniors is where it starts and should be heralded as "grassroots" alongside certain senior levels. The difference with AusKick in Sydney at least: schools are treated as a nice-to-have, not the be all and end all for your formative years. Same as League - club...

I don't have an issue with anything you say there, and will point out Brisbane had a bigger Subbies comp for a long while that was more than just a Friday night 6th Grade run around. That has changed, because the numbers are no longer there and critical mass of big clubs creates its own gravity...

I may have said such a thing. BUT when your go-to game plan - chucking it 1-2 wide and getting mullered - isn't working. There is also another game plan: tell your pigs to harden the F up and do some damage in close. The Blues are a good team. Nobody is doubting that. But they've also got some...

Watching this with one eye while browsing my phone. Lolesio was the worst of them. The dropout just before half-time was, in a word, execrable The game plan was mystifying. Attacking two out clearly wasn't working, but they kept doing it. Dumb.

Very wet running the flag for 2 games at McKay Sports ground in Centennial Park against Kings. The wind made it tough. The rain made it miserable. White jerseys on a day like that are a mistake ;) going to need an extra deep wash.

Still no fourth grade for Southern Districts?

Some games called off late - oysters hosting Hawkesbury valley at Lyne Park was one?

Werchon has pretty quick hands and executed well. The advantage of course being a tiring defence of a team that looked like it lost its way. Better than Thomas? I thought Thomas was good on the snipe, and tried a few things he didn't need to when the pass wasn't on.

Definitely. "Premier" Rugby clubs in Sydney should not be 4 Grades + 3 Colts if they're serious about being Premier. And when some of those clubs are running 5 Grades + 4-5 Colts it is even worse. You also have clubs who aren't meeting the criteria (Two Blues, Souths, Hunter), so is this even...

It doesn't even really represent much of grassroots rugby in Sydney. In fact it is actively harmful to large sections of grassroots rugby in Sydney.
