Because slugga's petulance prevents him reading my posts (and his has misread yours) he is talking about the Penrith number 8 - who actually returned from NZ some months ago, I believe.

Thought I may get a bite out of you Inside shoulder. :p Such a humourless bugger and oh so predictable. How's that chip going?

By the way he's replying to my post, it's you with the comprehension problem.

Yeah I took the bait.:mad:
I should have controlled my urge to call you on your constant bagging of the intentions and motives of pretty much anyone not in the Eastwood fold.
My mistake.

I heard Eastwood just got to Final by luck last year. No excuses this year with a dream draw.

It wasn't luck - I've never intended to suggest that.
It was the result of the pools being determined by where teams finished the prior year - just as it is this year and always is: in one sense if you wanted to you could trace it all the way back to U11s.
And with so much change that will mean the seedings etc for this year will be a potential source of disgruntlement.
Eastwood should do well, despite Slugga's obvious worries.

I don't think it was luck they played the strong Victorian side in the semi and had a very simple but effective game plan. Kick and kick long and then tackle your arse off and make them score from 75m away. they kept Vic in the mud on the top field in the first half then made them run up hill in the second. I guess home town advantage:)

Quite so.
Reminds me of the maxim 'The harder I practice the luckier I get'

Can anyone tell me why they believe North’s were an all concurring side last year. The results don’t support the myth.

For the record:

  • As difficult as it may be to accept they came third in the champs despite a better for and against.
  • As the de-facto barbarians in the regional’s they were third on both the table and the f/A, how could this be?
  • Their season F/A was a long second behind Gordon at 161/55 and ahead of Eastwood 161/107
  • In head to head they beat the Woods 14-0 and that score was flattering and
  • As the de-facto barbarians they were beaten by Western zone.
‘head and shoulders’ above the rest? Hardly.

What they did excel was in getting picked for the Sydney/NSW sides. That’s 9 players, 40%of the squad, with the remaining 60% shared between 7 clubs - Sounds fair.

Of course not all teams were so fortunate. Eastwood/WZ - second and first respectively could only manage 12% and 20% representation. A third as many, and the zone who actually won the tournament only manage half.Nothing to see here right?

My point is there is not a level playing field and there are people and clubs doing everything they can to stack the deck at the expense of the competition and rugby in general.

Which brings me to the HH/Mosman stack and the Gordon ghosts, but that will have to waite for the next post.

All concurring sides are the happiest, no doubt.
I had been meaning to tell you - there were even more Norths players selected but they had prior commitments.
