This is disappointing as the Drovers did such a great job with the club last year getting back and playing well in first grade. Deniliquin decision forces Southern Inland to revisit draws A lack of player numbers have forced Deniliquin to withdraw from the Southern Inland first grade...

This is great news about the Phantom's return but I hope all of these efforts are working towards a sustainable future for the club not just 50th anniversary celebrations.

Tips for mine: 1's: Tahs 2's: City (Heart says Bulls) Womens: Griffith 3's: Cutters

Aggies are a super impressive team with so many committed players. The big thing that lets them down is age and experience. Tumut absolutely destroyed their scrum earlier in the season and I hate to think what City's scrum would do.

Stop the competition and go straight to the City v Tahs GF. Their game today was outstanding. They are many classes above anyone else in the competition. It was an engrossing game with both teams having their chances but City's scrum was scary great. I have never seen an opposing prop get lifted...

They are always strong in juniors and regularly have teams in all SIRU juniors competition. Their older teams draw from boarders at Yanco Ag and St Francis which may be an issue when they leave school and do not move onto seniors with the Phantoms.

Saturday evening was a very enjoyable game. Good standard of rugby and great to see teams of this calibre in our region. I thought the crowd was disappointing and perhaps having the game in Griffith the week before kept Wagga's crowd low. Apparently Wagga Juniors are bringing the Classic...

Finger food provided. I am staggered at this. Depends on what the aims of each event were. Griffith would have been to promote rugby. Wagga to fundraise.

I have heard the same thing. Both SIRU coaches from 2022 coaching Tahs. Will be interesting to see what impact this has on rep coaching appointments in 2023.

Apparently there are a substantial number of Fijians coming to Deni to work at the abattoirs and due to the type of visa they have there is a requirement that they be involved with local sport or activities. No idea of the quality. Leeton will be their seconds and womens team and Deni will play...

Did you put your hand up for the board Bubba? Exciting news from the meeting is that there will be a new team to the first grade comp in 2023. Welcome to the Deni Drovers!

If anyone is offering $1.70 on City I would snap it up. The recent loss to Tahs may have been the loss they needed to have and will refocus them for the premiership push.

Tahs forfeited seconds and thirds in Griffith yesterday. How the mighty have fallen. Will be interesting to see if their 3rd grade team gets the boot from the competition.

Tumut have been approached in the past to join the one team Central West comp but weren't interested. I can see why this competition may be appealing to Leeton in their present situation. A move back to NSW Country/Waratahs would be disastrous. Regional areas under their control have had their...

Similar to most sports, it is the older age groups where SIRU juniors drop off. Apparently only one club, Griffith, have their own Under 16 side. The rest of this age group is combined sides (Wagga/Leeton, Albury/Tumut, Young/Temora etc). It is very handy for the juniors that the likes of Coota...
