    Shute Shield 2014

    I'm not sure I understand Bomber? What leads you to believe Gordon's attitude is mediocre? Because 3s and 4s didn't make finals this year? There is a difference between attitude and competitiveness.

    Shute Shield 2014

    Dave, the boys gave us plenty to cheer about again on the weekend.. Firstly, our 2s played loosely but scored after the bell (16 phases) to bring up a bonus point win 26-25. By all accounts 1s trained bloody hard during the week - knowing that Easts had knocked off Manly the week before. Easts...

    Shute Shield 2014

    Really enjoyable day at Chatswood Oval on Saturday - Gordon turned their round 10 loss to Norths around in great fashion running out 44-7 victors. There was a great atmosphere, Gordon wore a 'harlequin' style jersey to celebrate the local village clubs. The ladies who had come to celebrate...

    Shute Shield 2014

    Nick Fraser, Ron Hobden and Mitch Greenway had strong games in the forwards against a much bigger easts pack (Lam & Gray were outstanding for Easts) and Terry Preston, Tom Matthews and Matt McDougall had stand out performances in the backline. Henry Carmichael was defending very well but...

    Shute Shield 2014

    1st Grade was a terrific game and Gordon showed the same tough grit that they showed against Randwick. Very hearty victory - I'm glad you enjoyed the tweets. Can report that Gordon 2nd Grade defeated Easts 2nd Grade 24-18. The NSW rugby website has got that wrong and the table is wrong as well...

    Shute Shield 2014

    Very disappointing for Gordon 1s. They have been training very hard and have been hit by injuries. I'm sure they will be getting their act together very quickly this week. On a side note, I understand they are missing likely 1st grade players S Taylor (prop-archilies), R Wilson (2 row-shoulder)...

    Shute Shield 2013

    Great to see the Gordon boys dig deep to overcome Norths on Saturday. Truly amazing finish with Carmichael taking his first shot at goal in 1st grade - a penalty goal from 43m, 2mins after full-time (Roseville socks Gibbo!). Lucas Simkin (13) also scored two top tries. Highlanders wore their...

    Shute Shield 2013

    Game at Chatswood oval was a very tightly contested match. Gordon held out 7 consecutive scrum resets on their tryline at the 40min mark and Manly led Gordon 7-6 at halftime. Gordon came out firing and scored first in the 2nd half with a try to Terry Preston who was a standout today. Gordon led...

    Shute Shield 2013

    I was just spitballing SOP, suggesting a reason that it wasn't in the newsletter -this has only just happened. It could also be possible that the board are not wanting to hang Briggs out to dry until he replies to them. Maybe they regret their decision? Who knows but regardless you'll get the...

    Shute Shield 2013

    I assume Briggs has not replied to his termination yet and therefore the board didn't see it fit to go into the newsletter. Like all major happenings, Im sure this will appear on the website when it's appropriate and be added to the next newsletter.

    Shute Shield 2013

    Some issues came to light last week which weren't known previously so this could not have happened earlier. The board had to deal with it as it came up. The colts situation troubles everyone especially as there were 119 colts in 2010. In my opinion this is an adopted recruitment and reputation...

    Shute Shield 2013

    Crashy I'm not sure if you've been aware or kept up to date with the improvements at the club of late and I don't feel that it is my place to advertise the reasons for Briggs' sacking. The last two years' performance weren't good by any measure (whether his fault or not) and so I don't think...

    Colts 2013

    Gordon 3rd Colts won the premiership in 2009, Gordon 2nd colts made the Grand Final in 2010, Gordon 1 colts made the finals in 2011 and 2012. I know that in 2010, there were 119 registered colts players. It is extremely disappointing that this year we are not able to field more colts side in an...

    Shute Shield 2013 Transfers

    thecow I find these details a bit murky. Sydney University rugby club organise scholarships for they players they want anyway. The good that comes out of one good young rugby player attending Sydney Uni (who probably would have found his way to Sydney Uni No.1 anyway) as opposed to the good that...

    Shute Shield 2013

    It has been confirmed Israel Folau will be aligned with Sydney University. This must be pretty disappointing for clubs who may have hoped for a local player with a reputation to be seen as a part of their club

    Gordon Rugby players will now have the opportunity to gain educational scholarships with the University of Technology Sydney. This is the result of a ground breaking 2 year sponsorship agreement between Gordon and the UTS for the 2013/14 seasons. It is part of Gordon Rugby’s strategic plan to...

    Did we ever find out which super franchise was going through a club to avoid the salary cap?
