    Its a numbers game . The more numbers you have the more quality players you are likely to have. Id wager a bet that if you looked at premiers over the last 15 years ( with one or two exceptions - Leeton and Albury spring to mind ) invariably they'd be clubs with the most registered players. And...

    Early days but if it wasnt slightly unethical I'd take $2.50 happily. I'm hearing that Tumuts numbers are good and those odds may be excellent value if thats the case. Also have heard Steamers have an influx of numbers as well. For what its worth i think it will be a far tighter affair this...

    It was hot indeed ! The back of my legs are somewhat redder than what they should be ! Crowd ? I think they have got carried away with the use of the word 'big' here. The crowd was okay but certainly not the 6000 that elements of SIRU were forecasting . I'd have said 2000 max myself but i'm...

    I would be very very susprised if Reddies field 3's this year. I dont expect Tahs to field 3's or Tumut for that matter . I think you end up with City , Aggies , Albury , Hay Griffith in 3's. I would like to be wrong on this . As for the juniors ? It makes no sense, because from the outside...

    Top 4's ? Little bit of a swing in the dark at this time of year ! I'd suggest Grifith , City and Aggies will be in the top half . Tahs are always in with a sniff . Albury and Tumut will be better i believe . Deni & Reddies will be keeping each other company i think. Tough gig first up for...

    I think the big thing is that SIRU just needs a plan . To me it seems we have been pretty happy just poking along doing the same thing because thats what worked in the past. We are no longer in that position . A plan for the game in the riverina and the zone is vital now. SIRU's job is not to...

    Big leap for Deni . I must say i was quite surprised by that announcement ! I hope it works and I look forward to the trip. A lot of first grade boys have never played in Deni - it could be an eye opener ! @centralwestrep no Idid not stick my hand up for the board . Despite my best efforts to...

    SIRU AGM this saturday if anyone is interested. If your interested in the future of the game and where its going get down to ROMs and have a say. Me personally id be bringing up a few points : 1. The future of the comp and its structures 2. Connolly 4 and the debacle that it is 3. Juniors !!!!

    If you've got 7 first grade teams with a bye each weekend that would fit nicely for Hay ( or whoever is in 2's ) to play the bye teams 2's. Where it gets complicated is clubs like deni and Leeton wanting to only play 2's . As much as i I respect those clubs it cannot be at the detriment and...

    Where to from here ? Good question. I think its bleedingly obvious that the comp needs restructuring. We cant have 2nd grade dictating the comp anymore thats for sure . 3rd grade is in peril with only 4 teams finishing the season. We need the women playing 15's in my opinion. Leeton , Hay &...

    It was a big day saturday. Kudos to Griffith Blacks , they were outstanding opponents and played their hearts out. The beers at the Kooringal were cold and plentiful . This correspondent was a touch dusty on sunday to say the least. A great day and evening for the club.

    And we are here. I'm tipping a Wagga City sweep of the mens grades and Reddies to take out the womens GF. Weather promises to be good and we could see some ripping games of rugby played. Good luck to all involved tomorrow in all capacities.

    I did laugh at the "why are all the wagga 5/8's balding" line. Also the description of a Tahs centre as portly got a chuckle !
