Interesting. I finished a couple of decades ago and they always kept it to one or two rugby scholarships a year. I can remember when year 11s/12s would pick up an NRL contract, then do minimum school training and get dumped down to thirds. Now the NRL clubs encourages them do as much training...

I'm a TSC old boy and semi regularly donate the school (although not any large amounts) and I've never heard of, are been asked to donate to any booster funds for students. There's one fund for the students of old boys, but it's not tax deductible so struggles to fund raise much at all.

I think that's a major reason why the previous GM was let go. He had very little experience in rugby union, let alone Brisbane rugby. Although Easts did let one of their staff go in the offseason. I'm guessing that McGahan demanded a bigger salary. Still, early results looking good.

It has been $20 entry at Randwick for at least 5 years now

Easts have a masterplan that involves putting a cafe/restaurant where the existing cricket club/nets are and something else where the gym is now. Problem is it requires a lot of money. I know they've already had some discussions with council regarding re-zoning and what not

I haven't seen the social calendar yet for Easts home game after parties, but I'm sure it will be as hectic as usual. Followed by the Story Bridge Hotel

From my memory he's now been tied to Wests/Parramata (when he was 18/19. Don't remember which and if he played a game), Norths, Randwick, Easts and now Randwick again.... Also Jorgenson's dad was a Randwick stalwart back in the 90s. I remember him coming out of retirement in 2007 to play again...
