Agree. I was never a fan of Cheika and am still not convinced. Media have given him an easy run this year on the back of a better style of losing. The game on Saturday night was appalling. Sat with a host of long suffering Tahs fans - one who read her book rather than watch the game - and I...

I was very impressed with the Parra backline in both 1s and 2s. They caused Eastwood defense enormous trouble. I think Parra will cause most teams alot of trouble this year.

Thanks for that

Knuckes, do you know why the judiciary doest sit every week?

Disagree. There was some minor jostling and holding as they both followed the ball. No more than happens at any breakdown or scrum. The KING HIT was a cowardly act. Gower had a poor game after the incident, so it didnt help his team at all. The jungle justice comment is just bullshit! Imagine...

Rugby HQ was ok except the segment they talked about Digby and his contractual issues. Slow it down and listen too it - it was incoherent dribble

Wamberal, Turner played maybe 25 minutes and, unlike the week before, he was very very good. Helped set up a try and made a few half breaks. One of the best performances I have seen from an Eastwood team

That would be a bit simplistic as Sydney Uni plunder all clubs juniors. Lots of private schools are in the gordon region and could supply the colts. Alot of effort is needed to attract juniors to colts, perhaps gordon just expected it to happen.

agree

Did they? Nick White played for Eastwood 2 years ago before getting a fulltime Brumbies gig and I have vague memories of Alexanda also playing for Eastwood. I pretty sure that Nick White would continue to play for Eastwood if he was allowed.

Bugger?. Would the same apply to the guys at the western force?

Eastwood won all four grades. 4 tries to nil in firsts. Eastwood team was pretty much the starting team for the comp. but have the following first grade players to come back at various stages (depending on wallaby selection etc) and so the coach is going to have a few headaches re: selections...

Paper says that Lane's vacated EPS contract has gone to big willie skelton. CHeika has been impressed with how he has trained with the Waratahs over the pre-season and views him as a replacement for Sitalek Timani who is going to france. I must admit that I have some reservations about...

Eastwood beat East in all four grades. First grade was 5 tries to 2. Scrappy, lots of dropped ball. Not much to talk about. ALthough I did note that Andrew Ferris (last years Aust schools halfback) played the last 10 minutes or so in first grade for easts. Will be interesting to see if he...

PS - can anybody tell me anything about Tomasi Kolo - obviously a prop - who was a reserve yesterday instead of Jed Gillespie? A huge mother - seen here Gillespie broke his thumb in last weeks game v Samoa

I like your optimism

Watched the game twice - once at the stadium and again this morning. Its going to be another frustrating year. RObbo must start - Tilse and Slipper appeared to have a gentlemans agreement not to push - two average scrummages cancelling each other out. Not sure how long we can stick with TPN...

The review states that it is the club providing it "one unnamed Sydney club provided tuition and accommodation scholarships worth half a million dollars" But it doesnt matter who is providing it. That has never been the issue. What is the issue is that on numerous occasions in this and other...

The review finally puts to bed the nonsense that has been repeated in this (and other) forum(s) on numerous occasions, that Sydney University does not provide tuition and scholarships to players!

I think not. Tilse represents everything that is wrong with Australian rugby scrummaging. A converted backrower who after 9 seasons is still a poor scrummager. Has only played a handful of Super games and really is not up to it. So lets start looking for the next converted backrower or here is...
