From what I am told, the initiation you refer to was brutal & the jury is probably still out on whether that had more to do with his personality or who his former club was... Wow. 2014 isn't even finished and the rumours are coming thick and fast for 2015!! Interestingly, the Preliminary...

I predict a fair bit of soul searching over the next few weeks (last night especially) and into the off season for those who call the University home. Both clubs were very ordinary for large parts of the season & were both comprehensively belted yesterday. Not a good look, as the University is...

1st Grade- Wagga Waratahs v Griffith In the forwards, Waratahs have the slightest of edges, however the backline of the Blacks will be too strong the Waratahs. TIP - Griffith by 5 1st Grade- Albury v CSU Albury will dominate in every facet of this game. They will be warming up for week 2 of...

Premier League Ag College V Wagga Waratahs Waratahs will be heading into this game as massive favourites and rightly so. Their place in the top tier is safe, so maybe even strategically resting some key players would be an idea? They will continue their winning ways & be ready for the finals...

Any whispers in the corridors of power as to the venues of the finals? Trying to organise my schedule!

PREMIER DIVISION: Ag College (6) v Albury (2) Albury will be far too strong for the students. Albury will be looking to build momentum for the finals & will not let this opportunity for a glorified training session go by. The Aggies seem to lacking some genuine leadership, disappointing for...

That match will be a cracker & I will definitely make a day trip out to the MIA for it. And the food & wine!

Before anything, Congratulations must go to the Albury Steamers club. The gesture of wearing Albury Tigers AFC jerseys on the weekend in support of James McQuillan was fantastic. Just demonstrates that sport knows no boundaries. No real surprises this weekend in the Premier Division. The bye...

The competition fro the top 4 spots really heats up this week. The jigsaw for the finals will be a little clearer at about 5pm on Saturday, but I think some clubs will see this weekend as make or break. Waratahs are the only certainties for the finals. With Ag College destined for the Romano's...

1st Grade Ladder (I think!) Waratahs 53 CSU 43 Albury 43 Griffith 41 Tumut 38 Ag College 27 A couple of things... *The score line from the border looks rather ominous for the rest of the clubs in the mix. *Has the sleeping giant awoken? (Griffith!) *Ag College are surely now destined for...

Another cracking weekend of matches awaits. With only a bonus point win separating 2nd from 4th and then only 5th position only a couple further back, wins are a premium this weekend for all Walsh & Blair clubs. As with last weekend, if particular results go one way or another, the top four will...

WOW! Have Griffith hit their straps? Tumut are the real deal...Trust me! Albury building momentum at the right end of the season. The big scores this weekend has really put some emphasis on the FOR & AGAINST. Particularly between CSU & Tumut in that all important 2nd /3rd position. Interesting...

When the concept of the split system of the SIRU competition was introduced a few years ago, I must admit I privately was a little sceptical. However, I have come to realise and appreciate it how good it is and I know clubs really embrace it. 5 tough games in a row, really sorts the men from the...

I think that I may have witnessed a GF rehearsal this afternoon out at the UNI. Although, I think Albury and Tumut may have something to say about that!! 22-13 was the end result, but I can tell you it was a lot closer than that. The weather did suit Waratahs, as they played most of their rugby...

Really enjoy the previews @yourmatesam. Appreciate the time you put in. Looking out the window, I'm going to put my driza-bone and gumboots on I think, as I head out to the Uni for today's top of the table clash. My tips for this week... Waratahs - On the back of a superior set piece...

Ha, not the first time I have been called stupid! Thick skin mate! I have also had my abacus out this afternoon & all I can say is that bonus points will become imperative for those fighting for positions 4, 5, 6 before the split. Hopefully so much so, that try's not penalty goals get...

I think that each club in the top 4 at the moment are looking over their shoulders at each other! Waratahs got the fright of their life yesterday I might add!! Griffith have been very disappointing for at least a month now & I guess I tipped them to be premiership contenders on the assumption...

Thanks for reading. CSU are on record saying that they play '10s' rugby & that they do not really have a set structure in attack with regards to their backs. That alone invites some degree of unpredictability. On the other hand they are very predictable in the fact that they either try & get...

Long time SIRU spectator, first time contributor. Realistically only 3, maybe 4 teams are capable of winning this comp. I have had the opportunity to watch the top sides at least twice, (except Albury only once) I thought I would share my assessments so far... Albury - Slow starters...
