Wallabies are doing everything they possibly can to lose this match!

Jeez, there were more people at the under 9 grand final last week than at this game

True, do feel for the kids to be honest

I was informed by someone at the ground, that the HH Manager advised Raptors quite clearly that the SJRU had cleared it. I suppose you can say anything on the day and then cross everything to hope it doesnt get followed up or found out.

To be honest, i thought that the SJRU would have disqualified Hills from the grand final on the basis they are not on the north shore, and promoted Chatswood to the grand final to ensure consistency is maintained throughout the competition.....or is that just being too cynical?

I thought something was sus about it.....

Is that allowed during the final series. Honestly don't know?

Has anyone heard about the HH v Raptors U16 QF yesterday? I have been informed HH turned up with 7 "new" players that were not on the sign on sheet, no photo ID.....and that this was all cleared by the Competition Manager! Now its just a phone call I received today so won't pass judgements just...

Any scores please?

That is a fantastic initative by the Rams. Hopefully some of the other NRC teams may follow suit especially with the probable and impending changes in the 16's and Opens Comp's that are being discussed. Lots of thoughts coming to mind about how you could structure the comp.....mmmmmm.....will...

Some positive news I think for junior rugby yesterday. Last round for most teams in the comp and we get a washout called. Boys from Northern Beaches Rats U16A and Dural are keen to play as for many of them this would be their last game of junior rugby for their local club. The two coaches were...

In all honesty i dont think the travel in the 16a comp is an issue. Its pure numbers each week as is being discussed along the lines in this forum at the moment. Except for one team being Chatswood, other teams in 16's are being depleted by the now rep commitements, Sunday league finals, amd...

In many areas too the league comp from 16's and up moves to a Sunday. For what ever reason league seems to take precedent over union whenever times clash. We have witnessed first hand some pretty dirty tactics by league coaches to keep boys away from union this year. Union doesn't have the power...

My son is heading off to Grammar next year (yr11), can't wait to be part of this rugby thread....

But you seem to always come up with the players to ensure the qualification game is played so the rep boys can continue on their merry way...

No, there's the usual call around Tuesday to say we might not be able to get players together due to schooling commitments but I'll let you know later in the week. On Friday some time comes the inevitable call to say no we won't be playing. Like I said, playing the system, using time, "we might...

As far as I can read into the rules, the Competition Manager "may" remove the team from the competition after three forfeits. We'll their up to six and counting now so it doesn't look like anything will happen there. I note there is also a mention of financial penalty as well.....really? What...

Because they are a north shore "super club" which makes them untouchable and the powers that be will do stuff all about it...

I have been on about this for weeks now and glad to see others are now seeing how the system is being rorted by this particular club ( and we all know who it is). Send a message to the wider community...ban all their other club teams who are making finals this year across any age group. This...

Just an update to above. I note that Chatswood have a LOF against them against Hills today. That would make five forfeits now. Come on powers that be, are you going to continue to pander to the elitise clubs for blatent rule abuse yet smash other clubs for minor issues?
