Colts was a great match. Great comradarie between the two match officials also. Was a pleasure to marshal that match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree somewhat, but quantity kills when the players don’t have the respect to be financial members.

Noice Cup was won, which was a fantastic game of rugby. Hopefully we can up our game and come back for the win in two weeks, but it all depends on if our guys come with the right attitude. Anything can happen! It was a good, hard game. I don’t expect anything less in two weeks. Super tight...

We would love to achieve 3 teams in 3 years, but I’m not sure if we’d be viable to do it. We’ve certainly got the players currently, and I believe some of our new guys from this season will stay around but a few will leave - I.e. some will retire, some will go elsewhere. We also have a number of...

Agree!

All I’m saying it’s not as easy as matching up skill for skill. Anyone’s able to grow their club, it’s just bloody hard. We’ve been in higher grades and we want to get back there, but it will take a long time, and player retention is our biggest hurdle, as it is with all the lower division clubs...

To be honest, Maccabi out played us in the first half last time we played them, so we possibly wouldn’t have belted them... And having graded comps in those lower grades is a great idea, but you run into the problems of player retention, which is quite frankly, the main thing that dictates your...

Maccabi have forfeited leaving us without a game this weekend. We tried to rally up the guys for a make up next weekend, but it’s not going to work.

An inflamed situation between players. We’ve all seen it. I’m not going to say any further as I’m not a member of the judiciary. They will assess the situation.

The 2 x YC for dissent was 3rd man in for both Merrylands and Lane Cove, who were trying to stop something blowing out of proportion. Nothing nasty there. The red was a bad situation, which will be dealt with. Match wasn’t ill-tempered at all. It was a good, tough match. The app rarely...

Big day at Holroyd Sports Ground this coming weekend, with our Annual “Mrs P’s Day”, with all proceeds going to Cancer Research.

Yeah, 2 consecutive trips to Rose Bay isn’t kind, but we should be alright with turnouts, as we’ve been playing Halligan matches and have pretty much a completely fresh 1st Grade. We’ve been down a few integral players for a couple of weeks because of work, so we’ll see what happens. Should be a...

30km is correct.

Rule for finals series was all players must have played in at least two minor premiership rounds for the club.

Yep, first half was great, then the guys just dropped their game. We only scored once in the 2nd half, which was in the last two minutes. The Menai guys were great, came back to our Pub also, which was a rarity last year! How’d your match go?

Pretty spot on. Lane Cove got up to Maccabi though, 36-31. Our match against Menai was tough, very patchy. Good numbers but not a lot of fitness on the paddock. Finished up 38-34 to us, but it could have been anyone’s game. We played better 1st Half, and Menai definitely played better 2nd Half.

Indeed we have. They’re not ready unfortunately. Mac Uni are unable also. We’re hoping Menai might be happy to do a reduced numbers match or something similar, but not sure if that will pan out either. It’s looking unlikely. Mosman looks likely to do a Halligan’s with us next week, so fingers...

Yeah, if we were closer we’d be keen. We’re desperately searching for a Halligan’s for our home match this weekend also, but would be looking at 2pm kickoff to mirror the time 2nds should be.

We do have a few players who played Dukes/Crusaders, and yeah, it is due to being closer to home and having a few mates in our exisiting side. We’ve caught a few other newbies too. I’m hopeful that we will be successful in fielding two teams throughout the year, but the proof will come from...

The early start & Easter break is really hard. Battling the long weekend definitely affects the player momentum.
