That's a great mindset to have, definitely something to consider once my playing days are behind me. Two further questions I'm sure you've answered 100 times already... 1: do you find the sideline abuse is worth that physical and mental challenge? 2: I've always wanted to know, do you find...

Not that it really moves the needle at all but is this 'base' per hour or for the whole 80 minutes? Is it just applicable to the time between first and final whistle or are you also compensated for pre and post game duties? Seconded 1000%.

Div 3 Week 3 predictions: Not sure we'll get 3 games on this week given the rain we've had, but on the off chance we do... Beecroft @ Knox: The battle of the teams who lost their wins over BOBs already. Two formerly 2/2 win teams going head to head to return to 2 wins. Beecroft has been very...

The Old Boys clubs certainly face some challenging headwinds going forward with their traditionally easy recruitment strategy of "keep playing your mates you used to play with after school". That being said, I think school participation numbers in Rugby are on the upswing again and we're...

You've always seemed to have a healthy amount of talented colts coming through, and your colts side seems to compete at the pointy end all year. What's been the struggle in keeping those blokes around trickling into the grade sides? On that, have you noticed a drop off in the actual number of...

Very interesting developments. I have many questions. You have to wonder if this is 100% isolated to Barker's lack of ability to fill a second grade side, or if it's also got to do with the margin their first grade was conceding points through the first two weeks. If the latter, would we be in...

Only reasonable discourse is a neutral ground... say the MCG before the Lions game maybe?

Does anyone know if the dedicated BYEs on the Lions tour saturdays double as wet weather rounds or they're full on byes? Or is that team discretion around when they reschedule to? Not calling anything so far out but reading the tea leaves and it doesnt look good!

I believe it's just the next time the sides play it's worth double. So if the first match is off, they play for double match 2 then again for normal points match 3. A double call off into a triple points showdown for all the marbles would be electric television...

Didn't get my Div 3 tips in last week, blame Anzac Day... but I think I would have picked all 3 this week, might've given Hornsby a go, guess we'll never know... Knox 12 def. LCOI 5: Watched the tape on this one, a bit of an odd game. Knox blew a lot of chances in the first 60 or so but then...

I'm inclined to back the Breakers at Porters too, kicking off their Kentwell campaign in style - momentum is a funny thing, though I certainly understand favouring the always classy Drummoyne outfit, should be a cracker.

I think Div 1 is in the best shape it's been in in a long time. I can't pinpoint a weaker club this year, I think most clubs will be competitive across most games, and I wouldn't be surprised if they opt for no relegation / promotion at the end of the year, though maybe the Petersham / UNSW...

I need to stop doing this...

This usually evens out once the Div 1 season starts. Div2-6 getting underway earlier and also having their makeups shift repeatedly in the weeks leading up probably caused a bit of a skew. Plenty of Div 1 club shills in here... HeavyD and the EastCoast probably the standouts, I suspect they'll...

I'm backing Hot Crossed Buns to get the win over Chocolate Eggs this weekend. Hesitant to pick against the Eggs given how solid they've been for what feels like forever, but I think the addition of Toaster and Butter will give the Buns a much needed edge.
