Goodness me, the plot thickens.... http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/3671062/cross-town-move/?cs=149 For the sake of both clubs, the merger between the Aggies and Reddies might need to be fast tracked to the 2016 season, just to get a side on the park. Waratahs clear favourites for...

What would January be without City and the DA drumming up their premiership chances! @goodfun, interesting comments regarding the Sterling Ross move to Aggies. The word is that he left CSU because of the coach, but also that he wanted to be captain for 2016. He was told that wouldnt be the...

Agreed that both those clubs seem to building. Although lets be honest, year after year & every pre-season we do hear how well Wagga City are training and how they are going to be challenging for the competition. All to no evail though... From what Ive seen and know, Waratahs are clear favs...

Thought it was an interesting comment by Coach Skellern, sorry my mistake, um Mitchell. "anticipates to lose a number of players to Wagga City but believes he will have a stronger team in 2016."

I think that has been suggested a number of times over the years, all falling on deaf ears. To be honest, the likely outcome to merger between the two clubs would be a significant boost in player numbers for the other two Wagga clubs, as the newly formed merged 'University Club' would struggle...

So I summoned my inner PJ Hasham, and asked a few questions about the Sterling Ross to Aggies switch. There is a little bit more to it than what was published by the D.A. Interesting that a common theme is emerging from that club.... Last 5 years or so has seen a complete shift in culture and...

Ah, Sam we both know that nothing is ever 'behind the scenes' with Hava!!

Interested to see Hava easing his way back into the clique at Waratahs.......

Part of the fabric of country rugby is travelling on the bus with the lads for a game. If the Tri-Colours are keen on travelling for a game of rugby, perhaps they could form a comp with say, Illabo, Bethungra, Stockingbingal & Wallendbeen???

Agreed, but I still think it is worthwhile chasing Grenfell, West Wyalong and Condo. This would give the comp a bot more substance. Without them I'd be less than convinced, even skeptical...

Is it about this time of year we start putting together the coaching jigsaw puzzle? Mick Raynes has recommitted to Albury I read. Other than that, I'm not too sure. Player movements are always a topic of conversation in the silly season, haven't got any juicy ones myself, but will post any...

A resurrection of the South West Competition is a great idea, which will benefit all clubs. The sticking points will be how be how organised the clubs are and the communication between each club, NSW Country Rugby and the Brumbies. To be fair dinkum and to have a successful competition, it is...

Best of luck to all the clubs this weekend. I'm going to stick my neck out with my picks and as we all know GF day is a different beast and there are always 'upsets'. Premier Div - Albury. As much as I'd like to see Waratahs win it from 5th place, I just cant. Albury are in a real special patch...

If the tackle was serious enough to be issued a red card, then there can be no escaping at least week off. The fact the GF is the game he will miss is irrelevant. A harsh reality and certainly a lesson learned, but it is what it is.

A couple of good stories going into GF week. Waratahs coming from 5th place to secure a shot at Albury. A rivalry that will allow the gap to narrow on Saturday. I suspect that it will be closer than most punters assume. I'm sure the tahs coach will trot out the cliche "no pressure on us"...

What a disgrace by CSU. Pulling out of a Prelim final. Unheard of in my experience. You'd think you could pull together a side for one, maybe even two more games? Someone has to be answerable for this sideshow. In my experience, the lower grades of a university based club is where the heart and...

@alwaysRugby I'd be focusing in the long term future of CSU. When 99.9% of students play for Ag College regardless of what they are studying, there has to be questions asked. Or perhaps you could go to your earlier plan of filling out the roster with overseas imports?? Yep that's sustainable...

The Aggies would have gained substantially more playing against quality opposition week in week out, than the reddies playing against significantly weaker clubs. Surely you learn more about where you're at as a club playing against the best? Aggies are on the rise and improved, whilst the...

Reddies juggernaut? Hardly a juggernaut when they are playing in the plastic cup I would have thought. Waratahs to beat Tumut. Albury to beat Griffith. Sorry Leeton. My mistake. City to beat CSU Temora to beat Young.

Someone, with more knowledge and experience in the zone please correct me if I am wrong, but I can not recall a club who was a 'Plastic Cup" winner in years gone by who has then gone onto bigger and better things in the Walsh & Blair Cup the following year (s)?? I dont think Leeton in 2015...
