I find it interesting that Randwick would need to use such a gifted rugby player against a Penrith 2nd Grade Colts team - off the bench or not. In fact it is rumoured that Randwick used no less than 11 (eleven) 1st Grade Colts in their home round against Penrith (the week that Penrith's 1st...

The truth - it's a funny thing Knuckles - it won't hold the stage like your attention grabber - however at your request here it is. In 2011 it was decided by the new Emus board that the club didn't have a chance of surviving without juniors coming through to Colts. The board was never as...

Thanks for the contribution Knuckles - you keep the forum interesting!

Thanks for the recruitment advice Hughie.

Hi Crashy - the club will be Penrith based - more details to come once we sure things up. Thanks for your donation last year - your contribution will not be forgotten.

Thanks Crashy - numbers are good and growing. I'm not concerned about rugby league - there are thousands of kids out here - plenty to play all codes. Besides, if marketed right rugby offers a young bloke far more opportunity - only a handful of aspiring league players get to play in the NRL -...

Thanks for the observation Hugh Jarse - I believe the photo was taken at a relative's house somewhere in north-east-south Sydney where bricks aren't a luxury.

This is the Penrith District's Junior Representative uniform for 2013.

Penrith District Junior Rugby will be fielding a full compliment of teams in this years NSW Junior State Championships including two under 10s teams. Our teams were published last Friday on the Juniors website. So far this year the juniors have hosted our Summer Junior Rugby Academy from...

I am proud to advise this weekend the newly formed Penrith District Junior Rugby Union will be fielding teams from under 10s through to under 16s at various locations around Sydney (and at Orange) for the NSW Junior Rugby State Championships. This is the first time that any junior representative...

Hi Nusadan - Albert last played at Penrith in 2010 - I don't know where he is now or if he is playing.

Thanks for your input Lindommer - I can't comment on the parking situation at Forshaw Park - however I can say that the Board at Penrith made a decision that we needed to encourage better support at the ground - which we have been achieving with several strategies - unfortunately at great cost...

I have been advised that history was made on Saturday at Nepean Rugby Park when our 1st Grade Colts won. I am prepared to stand corrected however I believe never before in the history of the Club has a 1st Grade Colts squad won a game. I'm not sure whether to feel elated or sad that it took this...

Thanks Ole Two Blues for a good day on Saturday - all games were played in good spirit. Your first grade look very impressive this year. Not taking anything away from them - I was extremely disappointed with the performance of our first grade - there are are a few in that squad who really need...

Thanks Old Two Blues it's nice to know you're in our corner - PS we have withdrawn the ridiculous situation where visitors have to pay for parking - see you tomorrow.

Thankyou for your replies. If we were allowed to bet within the code I certainly would like to get some of the no doubt 100-1 we are currently rated at in 1st Grade Colts. You are certainly right Rugbyfan, our first game against Easts was appalling - I don't think that anyone could have been...

Despite the Club Championship looking bleak for us at the moment - all is extremely positive at Penrith. I believe this year we have the depth to get several teams in the semi-finals. My tip is first grade, first and second grade colts as well as third and or fourth grade making the semis. I...

Thanks XVProps - your kind words are most welcomed

Thanks Bruce and Empire. Crashy - you make a good point about the website. Unfortunately we also have had difficulty attracting the number of people we need to undertake all tasks at the Club. We have therefore had to prioritise and as painful as it is to concede, the website has had to take a...
