http://www.brumbies.com.au/verve/_resources/Line_Ball_booklet.pdf If it wasn't for this booklet, there would be a lot of referees who would be scratching their heads! Most players don't know the ins and outs of these laws, let alone tackle or ruck laws.

I think the most beneficial change that could be made to the Laws of the Game revolve around the ball in touch, touch in goal etc etc. This is the most confusing area of the game. Is the ball in touch or not?

I'm sure it used to be, but from memory, Tuggeranong in the ACT have Level 3 as a minimum requirement for their 2nd grade and colts players. There are something like 9 Level 3 coaches there. I think it's interesting that the ARU appear to not be running this course next year. Considering that...

What are your thoughts about Level 3 Coaches? In previous years, nominations were sought from club/rep teams, the ARU selected the blokes they thought fit the mould and away they went on the L3 course (12 month program involving in depth analysis of the game). It seems, this year (possibly...

I would describe a league boy as someone who plays league almost exclusively, but has a lash at union when they have the bye in league or has a go at school. School is where you really notice the different skills of the different codes. Wagga is FULL of AFL and League players who try union...

Really? Maybe I’m involved with a lower level of the game here where the stress level of the coach is a lot lower and they focus on skill development. I’ve found that the majority of league boys have good situational awareness of their running lines and solid defensive skills. From my...

These are skills that a lot of league players have and are drilled into them from under 8's right through to their senior grades. League player's skills in 2v2, 3v3 situations are generally better than their union counterparts because they are working on solid running lines and good body...

I'd never heard of that, but gee it's true isn't it!!

I think Wilkinson is a special talent. He's definitely got good all round skills, but his kicking game, particularly goal kicking, is exceptional. Kicking is such an individual thing, I don't think you can coach it too much until you get to an "elite" level. Also, i'm not sure of the advantages...

Just some thoughts on the finals series... Ok, so we know who is playing who now, so all teams should be working towards week one of the finals series. FYI - Finals venues are: 20.8.11 Week One - Conolly Park, Wagga Wagga 27.8.11 Week Two - Temora Recreation Ground, Temora 3.9.11...

Round 15 Scores Well rugbyfollower nailed it - wet weather footy! Although most grounds would have been dry by kick off time, there was plenty of rain about last night and this morning. It's a pity the players don't all wear long sprigs or we may have seen some decent games. Premier Division...

You're right mudskipper, i guess from his point of view there's no rush. From the Brumbies point of view, surely he is part of their plans for the future and they'd be keen to bag him for the next few years.

BLOODY HELL, what is Fagan thinking?

WOW, that bloke has some skates!

I can't imagine his old man would be too stoked about it, although i know there is a lot of cross-over between Easts and Quangers. From memory, he's got some jets yeah?

I see Charlie Fairfield-Smith is having a run for the Owls in the second row. I think he's from Young, a product of the Young Yabbies (and probably boarding school in Sydney somewhere). I'd be interested to know how he goes on Saturday... Also - Empire... Shouldn't Robert Beath be running...

That would be a strange one i think. Maybe in some sort of skills role?

Close Nusadan. This guy is a fitness nut.
