Unless it has already been posted somewhere else - here is the scoop on the North Harbour Rays facebook page. Must be spelled with the capital letters or it won't work.

Aaw come on!!! You know how fragile I am.

Good comments ff001 (sounds like a rugby player - fafoohy) ;) There is actually more to it than that. Because the vast majority of this colts squad is made up of players who have simply played the game for the games sake, they tend to bond together against the "rock stars". Each of them looks...

Chatting to a little birdie yesterday (already been called into the Ray's squad) and told that final selections will be announced on June 30. There has already been a meeting for the squad and outlines of itinerary, etc. revealed. Looking good for the Rays.

Yep . . . 18-0 was the actual scoreline . . . and the boys were bouncing around like Tigga. Great to see them finally gel as a team - can't wait for the rest of the season, and next year. And, after following rugby for over 40 years, saw something I've never seen before in a game. One of the...

I fully agree with this Coach - it only needs for the ref to make a signal that he has seen an "offense" and the crowd will stop yelling out to draw his attention to it. Then, if a penalty is made, make the next signal to show that he knew the problem right from the start, but was playing...

OK, now I'm starting to think. I knew all the kids as well, but just can't think of a Mr Coulda. I know my young bloke is really upset that he can't get back to how he was playing last year, but maybe it will all come together. I'll have a glass of Magners waiting for you ;)

I had my 10-year-old grandson with me, and he had a ball chasing the footies that ended up in the trees up against the fence. Not really fast enough to get the ball back into play quickly though :p

Didn't get that damned photo Coulda, I was on the other side of the field. Also didn't see the coaching staff episode, so can't really comment. Good to see that passion is coming back to the Gordon Colts - just needs toning down a bit :p So which one of your many "spies" pointed out Junior...

There is absolutely no excuse for this to happen, but I was nearby and only heard the challenges. If you looked at this game 'fairly' you will remember that Gordon were ahead, and looking the goods when the referee completely ignored the linesman who had signalled for foul play with two Uni...

I'll be there 'coulda'. I will be the silly old buggar running up and down taking photos. The Staggies are starting to "get to know each other" and may have a surprise or two in store. Not too sure about a win :D But they never give up and have a lot of guts to keep showing up each week and...

Exactly right Baz. The whole Central Coast was excited whenever a Rays game came to town, and the Final was a great game to watch, and left us waiting in anticipation for the next year. Sadly not to be. Promotion doesn't have to cost a fortune, just get out there and do some "politician...

Thanks for settling me down Dave.

Be nice if the name of the "bloke" was used. It is GEOFF TOWNSEND who has quite a nice coaching history. Coaching Consultant - Sydney University 2011 – 2012
 Assistant Coach - Western Force 2009 - 2010
 Academy Head Coach - Western Force 2007 - 2009 Head Coach - Southern Districts 2004 – 2006

Did anyone follow up with Rugby News' idea of a digital copy??? If enough people miss it - and pay some subs - you may be able to print a program out and take it to the game with you.

Really good day coming up on Anzac Day for the Gordon vs Parramatta clashes in 1st and 2nd Colts, as well as 1st and 2nd Grades. This is a really good initiative from the Highlanders, and shows how much they put into supporting their players and the surrounding community.

Macca - are you thinking of something along these lines???? Would need extra pages, but as I mentioned earlier - no printing costs, no paper costs, no ink costs, etc. - just the time to do up the extra pages. The forum members should start talking to the publishers and let them know they are...

Perhaps GAGR can start a bit of a campaign to ask for the other grades to be included in the digital programme???? Be good if Rugby News could come to the forum with a few answers on subscription costs etc. Seeing the programme doesn't have to go to a printing press, the cost of extra pages is...

Thanks Yikes - I'm going to have to learn to check for new posts before I start a reply.

Because I'm a newbie in the Sydney scene, I didn't even know about Rugby News until I started investigating the problem. They are actually doing just what Macca asked for already. Here is a clip from their website, perhaps the forum should have a good close look and - if everyone put up a bit...
