Some quality pedantry to be had in the 7s thread...

I see from twitter that Sunnybank beat Australia to take the Central Coast 7's in NSW. yesterday. 20k prizemoney. Not a bad start to the 7's circuit.

Byron Bay 7's is on this weekend. Will be interesting to see how it eventuates after last weekend.

just reward, Sunnybank have been pouring money into there 7's program the last 2 years..

Newstar defeated Sunnybank 19-12 at the Byron Bay 7's on the weekend. Newstar is a team made up of players who are managed by the Picone brothers.

Was meant to be there myself but too many players had other committments so no team, damn I wish I was able to go there.

I believe in around Jan-Feb there is Crescent Head 7's, my team usually goes there, I'll be sure to report on it when it comes around.

expect a ratinalisation of the 7's tournaments in coming years, at the moment i think it would be more of a hinderance to try and enforce a standarisation or overarching body, especially in the face of the evolving international arm of 7's.. it might also scare some current tournament organisers away from persuing there own ingenuity.

7's tournaments like Gold Coast, Central Coast and Darwin are all growing extremely well as it stands...

I think a regional 7's tournament will be the way to persue forward in the next 5 or so years, try to bring together the Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong and various Australiasian tournaments of the game into a standardised league with a points system.

Love the Crescent 7's - Played there in 07 with the Kyogle team, was a fantastic weekend - some quality teams attending the tournament now too, as well as the still not so Quality (See X-rats for example)

I have noticed today that there has been a surge in people writing "could of" "would of" "should of".
Sheesus.
It is "would have" etc.

And mayor is pronounced may-or, not mare. That is a female horse. Take note please, that really grinds my gears.

"The halfback for the other team and the inside center were out of position"

"The halfback for the other team and the inside center was out of position."

This is one of the subtle ones. Most people write the first one, but they are wrong.

Yeah, but the first one sounds better. (As my english teacher rolls over in her grave....)

IS, are you a teacher?
