I am not privy to any information, but I'd imagine that the comp in question could or would look something like this; Coota Young Harden Temora Junee Grenfell West Wyalong Condo (at a stretch!) I'd be focusing on one solid squad for each club rather than 10 a side rugby replacing second grade...

Does the old South West comp rise again basically? With a few tweaks....

CSU are a town team based at the uni. Aggies are what one would class as the University team. I agree that CSU are definitely in the right division and looking back to last season, they were very lucky to be in the Walsh & Blair, so two years running where they have been well off the pace. As an...

Seems to be a bit of chatter among the CSU lads at the moment. A couple of senior players I know have said that they would rather not play in a GF if it meant playing in the second division GF in 2015. The word humiliating was used. Hearing there might be some players playing at different times...

Loved the honesty and frank comments from the Waratahs coach in this mornings DA. “I couldn’t fathom what would happen if we were playing in the ‘spaghetti cup’, I just wouldn’t know what to do,” I'd like to hear if this sentiment (I've heard Romanos Cup labeled 'Paper Plate' & 'Plastic Cup')...

All done at the Uni. Ag College 48 Wagga City 19. BP for the students. Any result from across town?

Well, two things I did not expect to see back in Australia was Carlton sitting with only 3 wins for 2015 (and a new coach!) and the Wagga Waratahs fighting it our for a birth in the Premier Division. Wow. Difficult to fathom a Premier Division, let alone a final series without them in it. I...

I've said it before on this thread, that I reckon the only way to sustain rugby on the region, particularly in the small towns is to adapt something along the lines of what the Central West NSW have in place. A competition where sides can supply 1st, 2nd, 3rds and another competition (Central...

Griffith have coaches sorted. It seems you spend a fair bit of time at your keyboard, so looking at the area news might be something for you to do in the future before you go off on a rant http://www.areanews.com.au/story/2956450/gleeson-vitucci-to-lead-griffith-blacks/?cs=671 The highway? Great...

I should note that until the dust settles out in the MIA, I might reserve total predictive authority on both Griffith & Leeton! Factors that will be decisive will be; - How many Griffith players from 2014will follow Rogo and Vunibaka to Leeton. - Is there any money left in the Blacks piggy bank...

Heading overseas this week for 3 months, so I will post my SIRU predictions now. Limited connectivity in many parts of where I am heading, so I will be a little out of the loop come mid July when I return! Surprise Packets / big improvers - Ag College (Stability in the coaching ranks, plethora...

Rather stern / aggressive reply. By the sounds of that, the reputation CSU have is spot on. Might explain why 99% of students play for Ag College?? As @maulalltheway says, there is only one Uni club in SIRU. It's common knowledge that CSU are seen as town club based at the Uni. I guess why...

Ok, "nightmare" might be too harsh, but it will definitely be a very bad dream! I hope I am proven wrong though. I will stick to my thoughts on the game against NSW Country. That will be a train wreck and the more thought I put into it, it probably is an OH & S issue for the SIRU. To be involved...

I agree with your comments and the opportunity which Country Week presents, as well as playing NSW Country is a fantastic thing for the players of SIRU. Having been lucky enough to play at Country Week at u/19 and Snr level ( I like to think not too long ago!), it does provide a nostalgic...

Although I haven't heard the same rumors around those clubs, Im not surprised. Small towns would face challenges each year in fielding competitive teams. Mainly due to employment opportunities in the towns, other sports and teenagers moving to bigger centers for study/employment. Perhaps to...

This isnt a new situation the club is in. I specifically remeber them being coach less after a season where they were undefeated premiers (I think they were premiers?). Considering Palmer was not Watatahs first choice when originally appointed & Meggison sounding out other coaches before 2014, I...

Any truth to the whisper that Waratahs have Richard Turnbull locked in as part time (work commitments prevent a full time role) coaching director / consultant? Not willing to commit to the head coaching role so the club are still looking for a 1st XV head coach. Heard Aggies are going to be real...

Congratulations to Jack on his role for 2015 and beyond with the QLD Reds system. The Brumbies Development Position is certainly proving itself to be a pathway to higher honors over the years. With Jack's appointment, I guess there is some real egg on the face of those out at CSU Reddies who...

Very definitive there Sam. A story behind that blunt response perhaps?

By the sounds of it, the only way Robertson receives a Christmas card from anyone is if he sends one to himself.
