Mauler I have no idea what assumptions you’re talking about. I was willing to let this go long ago. You’re heavily involved in what exactly? You keep bringing up the AR in the Albury v Griffith 1st grade game 1st round. Good on the young lady for getting in and having a go. To be fair could you...

Mauler, SIRU, Brumbies & SIRRA can only do so much. Club members have to be responsible for the running of home days. To keep players safer, to ensure fairer games and because of litigation qualified ARs are needed. The world has changed Mauler. If someone wants to play amateur rugby they have...

I think Lindommer people don’t recognise the job the touchy is doing. In this case the ref’s arrogance was the problem. In this zone we are short of refs but the one’s we have are good. The AR situation has been a struggle. This situation has led to some interesting scenarios. A couple of...

There’s a minute or something like that to go. Steamers score the try. Score will be Steamers 21 Blacks 20. We on the sideline feel dejected but sure. The ref isn’t certain because he’s unsighted. We have quite a young person being the AR of the 1st grade match. This is the decision that...

Hi Ted. I have sent a message through to Green & Gold about closing my a/c. That must not have been acted upon yet. Thanks for the reply. I hope you could understand what I was trying to say. A word of advice. Don’t reply to this person. If you don’t say what he wants to hear he’ll start on you...

I’ve decided to close my account. This last business is enough for me.

"This type of message helps no one" "I'm calling out referee bagging" - Untrue "You did bag the AR which is essentially the same as bagging the ref" - Untrue "As per usual your comments are negative." "Shame on you" I didn't say anything about SIRU or SIRRA being broken. From what I can see...

Calling out referee bagging - "ref - who had a really good game". Calling out assistant referee bagging - "no offence to the young girl who was the lines person". Australia's referee development pathway wouldn't have directed an inexperienced young kid like that to be AR of a 1st grade match...

You’re right I think the draw is ridiculous. Didn’t bag the ref. In fact said he had a really good game. The young AR shouldn’t have been put in the position she was put in. It is not in the best interests of that child. Clubs in my opinion should be made fill these roles with mature age...

We don’t have a potential young match official. We have a match official in a 1st grade fixture. I would assume not trained for the position and not officially attired. A young kid who is an assistant referee put in a position of making a decision on the outcome of a 1st grade match. Imagine if...

Went to Blacks v Steamers yesterday. 20 - 16 full time. Disallowed try just before final whistle to Steamers. Was definitely a try. Scored just in front of me. Ref ( who had a really good game) was unsighted. Lines person made the call. No offence meant to the young girl who was the lines person...

2 1st teams & 3 women’s teams sitting around doing nothing each round. The clubs involved have teams. There are teams available to play against. ???

Folkus, the distorted nature of the draw (especially 1st grade) evolved last year to accommodate the inclusion of Deniliquin and Hay clubs (men’s 2nd grade & Hay women’s). Instead of developing the draw from the men’s 1st grade down the draw has been done from the 2nd grade up. Now Deniliquin...

The 50 - 22 rule and the Goal Line Dropout aren’t new new rules. They’re new to our game. Those rules are copied from League. I’m all for making Rugby Union safer & more entertaining but given the number of rules we already have does our game need the introduction of a number of new rules?

Going from just having a 3rd grade team to a 1st & 2nds team in one season is a pretty big jump Reasoning. Hopefully the Phantoms can do it.

No I didn’t Bandar. Other side of town from me & no bar facilities. Just talking about the men’s team I heard that Phantoms went alright but didn’t bring many more players than the basic team. I mean as the season grinds on you almost need 2 teams to keep 1 team on the paddock. Have they got...

Did Stu play for Sydney Uni? I remember coaching Max when he was 12 in the Riverina PSSA team. Griffith is playing Leeton tomorrow in a trial. Blacks set for a good season. Very interesting to see how Phantoms perform.

Watching Wales v Wallabies last night reveals why we have such a problem with rugby in Australia. The ref was cheating. This is why people give up on playing & watching rugby. Any criticism of official‘s performance is met with claims of bad sportsmanship.

Well done to the young fella from Aggies on winning the Bill Castle medal. Bit contro though the award not going to a City player given they pretty much lapped everyone else during the season. Especially with an Albury player coming a close second. I suppose Tess Staines was a short favourite in...

Is my maths right Athol? If Rd 9 Blacks v Steamers resulted in a Griffith win instead of a draw would your predictions end up with Bulls & Steamers ending the season level on points? I ask the question again, what was the end result of the situation regarding the kicking out penalty in that...
