I agree with the likes of Sydney Uni, Randwick, full strength Souths, but I think a full strength Tuggies would push Eastwood, Manly, pip Easts but would carve the likes of West HArbour, Gordon, Penrith and Parramatta. Queanbeyan probably not as much as Tuggies but would beat Gordon, Penrith and...

My full strength side would be (Of Vikings players who are currently at the club) Ratulevu, Vosuga, Fainifo, Stubbs, Lealiifano, Iona, Mokotupu, Parahi, Salvi, Fainga'a, UNSURE about 2nd Rowers, Noble, J.Salvi, Unsure about F/Rower. Im sure that side would give any Sydney team a good go...

Sucks to say but Wara wouldnt have stayed in local JID Comp anyway, with him being on Full contract with Brumbies, he would have gone to a stronger club or competition regardless.... Brumbies need to invest more in local comp so these blokes stay. Empire, is Tom Toialoa back with Easts or...

Coleman off top of my head would be the only one who has gone onto being recognised recently via JID, Vanderglas got a Tier 1 contract while at Easts but didnt really come to prominence till he went to the Wicks, White still not proven at a higher level other than 7s and same with Yakapo...

Metcher with Gungahlin this season in the Canberra comp !

If an ACT side played against a Sydney side, I have the opinion that the ACT side would give the Sydney side a good go. Might not win but would be a lot closer than people would think. Could anyone name a side from the ACT...?

Is anyone able to supply GAINS and LOSSES for each club in the Shute Shield? Be interesting to see what players are actually coming into the competition and who have moved clubs etc.

What about Seilala Lam, is he in the mix or there abouts?

Matt McGahan is son of Legend Kiwi Back Rower Hugh McGahan and comes from a Rugby Nusery called Mt Albert Grammar, which has procuded Joe Stanley, Olo Brown, Matthew Ridge and also Sonny Bill Williams. Also at the Storm is Cade Umaga, son of All Black Great, Tana.

Too true Louie.....its called SOFT !!!

I am actually, last year and the year before...the attack wasnt as bad as it is this year...Friends first year in fact, they attacked well, it seems to me since Larkham has been back, the attack has gone backwards...gone back to lateral rubbish.....! I do agree with bringing Nic White...get rid...

When do they name the Rebels team? With so many loose forwards under an injury cloud, i wonder what they will do if both Lipman and Delve are ruled out.

Anyone got any idea on whats happening with West Harbour, I know they have lost Volavola and Maafu, but have they lost any other players, or gained anyone?

Sounds like Easts have picked up some talent this season. Anyone the rest of the comp should be looking out for? you have any trials coming up?

This would be great for the Brumbies. Bring in Jake White and let HIM and HIM alone pick his coaching staff. First person I would be getting rid of...Larkham, as much as he is a legend of a player, his coaching and game plans leave a lot to be desired...he was GREAT back then, but the game has...

In Defense of HappyHC, I have heard the same about Jake Knight from a few of the Vikings players but you are right, maybe before posting we should all have the facts before posting it up on here. Has Knight gone to Easts or is that rumors also?

I agree, and Im probably the one who has been leading the charge. My issue with this bloke has always been picking players who are his favourites to come to Canberra at the expense of local talent. Bloke might end up being a good coach in the future but at the moment, his talent spotting and...

I do think the players he has picked are a waste of space, Liam Winton being one, Pama Fou being another, I do think Viliami Iongi does have a bit of XFactor about him although I dont think Coleman is the best person to bring this out of him. Coleman is useless at identifying talent, the blokes...

Coleman has resigned. He jumped before he was pushed. Players threatened to walk out of Academy, lots of stories going around about his behaviour after Darwin 7s (alcohol related) and other stories about his treatment of players. Guess the writing was on the wall for him.

I think once Giteau and Elsom have left the ranks, the player power issue will die down as I see them being the driver behind it all. Jake White if given the role, I dont think would put up with it anyway and would probably either warn them from the outset or drop them. Jake White and Eddie...
