Earlier in the year we turned up to Dural with 13 players. Dural coach noticed we were a bit short & asked how many players we needed & what positions (I didn't even have to ask). They gave us 2 forwards (great lads) who warmed up with us & learnt our line out calls. 10 min into the game we lost...

This is against the Competition rules too. They must be in gear and willing & able to play before signing on. If they are injured then they can get dispensation with a medical certificate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

QH I was not directing my post at you personally but rather using it as an example of the possible belief that League or any other sport will be void of the issues we face. You are a great example of what a lot more parents should be doing and that is to get involved not for your child but for...

My son played league for 2 years while playing rugby. He's in his 12th year of rugby & will never go back to league. Trust me its no better. I'd say its a fair bit worse actually. I shook my head on many occasions. It comes down to individuals involved in sport not the sport. Just remember the...

I was agreeing with the fact that Illawarra would be a better fit based on the Rams Facebook page & the "(& souths)" is almost like & afterthought. All promo seems to be weighted toward Eastwood. JMO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

An explanation mark was tempting but in hindsight probably should have gone for the question mark Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I posted but mucked the quote up so tried to delete but it wouldn't let me so a full stop was the next best thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Townsend will do a great job. It was a crime when he was stupidly sacked from Souths after getting them from bottom of the ladder to missing semis by one win several years ago. Since then he has had a stint in Japan, mentored at Sydney Uni & more recently coaching a Gordon club with a number if...

Totally agree. It's clear the Western Sydney Rams (as they may as well be called) don't want Souths. On their Facebook page is describes the club as "the best from the West (and south)" Says it all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck to MSZ with selection of players limited to 2 districts compared to 4 (3 very strong districts) for other Zone sides. It's a real shame Easts & Uni (at least Uni) can't throw some money & put real energy into developing grass roots rugby in their districts rather than pillaging from...

Shute Shield should have a free weekend on June long weekend. This will allow senior clubs to support juniors. The juniors could also incorporate the weekend at same location as 16s & 17s JC to hold u18s trials for Sydney team. The beauty of this is there are selectors, officials & facilities...

HJ I agree with your sentiments re club & school. I do believe we need an u17s comp & maybe even u16s comp to sit under the colts as these are the years most critical to retaining players in the game. If we can achieve such a model for these age groups, im not sure if there would be enough...

I Noted no Luke Lough or Will Terry which hurt them - quite a few missing from Gordon & Norths 2013 u15s squads - at least half of each squad look new Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quite a few dispensations given to players who have not played 4 club games before JRUSC I know of one player who played none being allowed! Is this right regardless of the squad numbers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wondering if Gordon will be taking their dryer and coffee machine to Concord tomorrow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree with issue of more sports or "other activities" for kids to do these days and also kids or families wanting one day on a weekend to rest or have as a family day. But I raise the point that Private School training programs for the top 30 kids in older years is a lot more intense and...

Well said, I couldn't agree more with the above comments. 11 years playing rugby my son is now 15 never wanted to go to a private school. He wanted to walk to school. He loves rugby more than any kid I know (& I have been around a bit). Many parents cant afford Private schools even with half...
