If Dan is a bit unsure of a decision he can always get a bit of advice from Rhianna in the Women’s GF tomorrow.

That’s true Mauler with that round just gone. I was shocked at the Bulls Steamers score line. I know Reddies are the butt of jokes but there’s not that much between them Blacks, Steamers and Deni at the moment.

Glad Waratahs got Mauler’s message to nurse Reddies through the rest of the season.

Hi Mauler. In other circumstances I think Waratahs would be a bit easy going towards Reddies. But in this situation the top 3 teams have to be ruthless. I’m going 80. Griffith are sending over an OK team but Aggies are classy. Thinking 50. City can really pile on the points but it’s at Deni...

Points are what it’s all about this round. How big a score can Waratahs run up against Reddies at home. Who reckons 100? Griffith has won its last 2. What score will Aggies put on Blacks at home? What about City at Deni? Is anyone willing to be honest and not politically correct/ conservative...

Reasoning there is no problem with rugby in Griffith. Some players with season injuries, transient workforce and some older players retiring. The results haven’t been there but that was expected. Good playing and training numbers. 4 grades no forfeits. Happy club with good culture. Re-building...

Seems like 90% of teachers in primary schools are female these days. Maybe Reddies are suffering because a big % of people enrolled in courses are female in that part of the uni.

Thank you Mauler. Spoke to one of the girls from the team today. Conspiracy theory debunked. Good luck to teams on weekend.

From what I can understand most of the Griffith Blacks Womens team didn't nominate to be part of the Representative program. I apologise for insinuations implied in previous comments.

Reasoning, regarding mens side of Blacks club. There is no great problem. The situation is just a consequence of living in a community which is based on work which can be temporary. A lot of our players work in the wineries, in poultry production with Steggles, seasonal farm work etc. Culture at...

Just saw the SIRU rep teams. Griffith Blacks women’s team dominating the competition. Waratahs 11 players. Griffith 3.

Given a NRL player is moving to ARU on 1.6m per year it’s a bit hypocritical to continue our amateur status in rural areas. Lets just go professional. Same with match officials.

Until Reasoning provided the guidelines I was unaware what they were. I’m also unaware what anachronistic means. Regardless of the sympathetic views Namtrak may have on the subject, if parameters exist each club must operate within them. If one club is providing financial assistance in SIRU...

That is interesting Reasoning. Obviously there are people who believe some clubs in this zone are providing financial assistance to certain players outside the mostly amateur guidelines you have set out above. If true the clubs involved should lose their points.

Interesting topic. I just assumed financial assistance for players in SIRU was legal. Whether it be direct payment or something backhand like paying someone’s rent. From what Reasoning is implying it is not supposed to be happening. Could someone clarify the situation.

Can you expand on that Bubba. What do you do for your players that every other club does that would be hypocritical to mention. I don’t think it’s illegal to pay players in SIRU anyway.

That’s interesting. I know Griffith didn’t pay players. Bubba are players paid to play for your club?

Re Griffith biting the dust Reasoning, we do play Deni, Tumut and Albury at home next round. If Griffith beat Reddies this round and next round + win against Deni, Tumut and Albury we end up with 6 wins. Is that enough to end up in 4th place. Besides playing each other Aggies, Tahs and City will...

Think Griffith are a real chance at Deni. Young team getting better. If they do win Blacks will firm as contenders for that 4th place. Tumut and City will win. Tahs/Aggies ? Flip of the coin.

City, Waratahs, Aggies…………….Reddies. Which team fills in 4th place. Looks like Tumut have fallen off a cliff after their big defeat of Griffith. Albury have been beaten at home by Griffith. If Deni become a team that improves a bit they could be that 4th placed team.
