    So I had a look at the clubs north and south of the Harbour across all divisions, with two clubs a bit tricky to pick (Blue Mountains and Merrylands are pretty much directly WEST of the harbour). There are 21 clubs south of the harbour and 25 clubs north. This was MUCH closer than I expected...

    Next year is going to be very interesting. The number of clubs advertising for coaches is staggering. Kentwell Premiers and Last year's Cowboy Cup winners Petersham have advertised for multiple coaching positions. Current Cowboy Cup holders Mosman are advertising for coaches. Both Hunters...

    Gow Gates don't underwrite the policy, they are just a broker. Frankly the insurance is next to meaningless for players given how limited the coverage is, so this should really be pretty cheap coverage to obtain if you went like for like elsewhere. Especially interesting is the fact that there...

    Have to be careful about the points allocation RC. If you don't leave a big enough gap between the grades then clubs just start giving up on first grade and stacking lower grades to fight for the championships. It's a really tough balance.

    There is no recognised pathway or resources to develop set piece coaches in Australia. Outside the professional ranks there are no available clinics and there is so little out there to help develop coaching skills and provision of techniques for scrummaging. I've dabbled in it and given up...

    On page 5 of the Subbies Annual Report (available on the subbies website and one of the most inane documents I have ever read) Executive Director Mark Green states "Over the last two years the Union has partially absorbed the National Participation Fee and this contributed to a significant loss...

    We really don't have much choice. Most of us just want to play footy and if that means we have to fork out we will. What are our options? There's no white knight ready to back a stand alone amateur rugby competition. We could all stop playing en mass and hope the ARU notices. In reality they...
