Thommo is away celebrating his retirement. In his place, Alan Cox has penned an analysis of the Mighty Two Blues performance against Manly on the weekend. Now published on the Club website. Shockingly, the report appears to be reasonably fair and balanced and as a consequence the Mighty Two Blues are considering whether Alan should continue :)

Parramatta are raising funds to support our three Wallaroos players who are soon to fly to France to participate in the 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup.

Auction of a signed 2012 Wallaby jersey and Gilbert Rugby ball with accompanying COAs is being conducted on the Two Blues website.

ONE FAMILY: PCS RAMS 2014 DEVELOPMENT TEAM ANNOUNCED


The PCS Greater Sydney RAMS are delighted to continue our investment in the catchment area with the announcement of a RAMS Development Team.

Current Parramatta Two Blues Head Coach, Gerrard Fasavalu, will take on the role of RAMS Development Team Head Coach for 2014, and is excited by the opportunity the squad provides talented young players.

“I have come on board to help develop players in the West and strengthen grass roots rugby in our catchment area. This team is staked with local emerging talent,” Fasavalu said.

RAMS Spokesperson, Marshall Brentnall, echoed Fasavalu’s thoughts on the importance of the Development Squad, which will focus on players under 23 years of age:

“Our commitment is to provide pathways for our local playing talent. I’m sure many of these players will be pressing the selectors for 2015 full RAMS NRC contracts.”

The general purpose of the RAMS 2014 Development Squad is as follows:
  • To ensure top catchment players are at the forefront of 2015 NRC RAMS selection;
  • To reward players for 2014 performances in club rugby;
  • To provide players with NRC RAMS insights and experiences, and
  • To provide NRC RAMS with additional player options for the 2014 tournament
Games have already been confirmed against the Waratahs Under-20s, at Granville Park on Tuesday September 16 (5pm), and on Sunday September 28 at Brookvale Oval as a curtain-raiser to the North Harbour Rays NRC match. An additional game is planned for Monday October 6 against an NRC Invitational side.

The Greater Sydney RAMS believe a tournament of Development Squads in NSW would be a welcome addition alongside the Buildcorp NRC in 2015.
Players selected in the RAMS Development Squad will receive:
  • RAMS playing kit;
  • RAMS Development Squad training shirt;
  • RAMS Development Squad polo shirt (exclusive);
  • VIP Tickets to all Home Games;
  • (RAMS NRC squad players will attend Dev Team games also)
  • RAMS HQ welcome dinner, and
  • Experience training at RAMS facilities, including Concord Oval and Sydney Football Stadium.

Last night the MTB had a sponsors evening attended by around 25 sponsors and several board and players including Aussie Womens flanker Chloe Butler and injured Wallaby TPN. At the same time at MRSL Park, who was the other injured Wallaby forward training with over 100 Two Blues?

My guess is Pocock.
If his 'club' is the Brumbies and his original home was Brisbane, then Sydney is 250 kms closer to Brisbane than Canberra.
Him or Stephen Moore..
