in come the cavalry i hear southern districts have bought in 5-6 uk guys who are all playing 2s and 3s this week to add some depth and push into higher grades i think with the uk season nearly over, a lot of teams will get a lot of these guys come for a year or 2. question now is how do you...

who doesnt have imports or new players though? esp this year seems to be quite a large amount of new players in clubs. from the round on the weekend, these are how many players who took the field in 1s are new or didnt play in 2024 for them (start or bench this weekend) uni - 6 gordon - 9...

i think a few of them arent coming back, pethybridge i believe is doing a 2nd season in europe and not returning, williams is back to parra, tuituou is nowhere to be found, although played tonga 7s and is internationally capped now for tonga, so why would you go back to subbies, surely someone...

I think theyll come good, young coaching group yes, but just some teething issues, plus a lot of high quality players still to return from injury and overseas over the next couple of weeks.

Close game though, could have gone either way with 10 to go. predictions: easts over norths in a close one gordon over wests by plenty randwick over parra by plenty manly over souths, close first half then manly to just get over em 2nd half uni over rats in a classic

What a cracking first week of rugby. It certainly looks like a lot of teams, with their new faces, are still trying to wrinkle out some combinations and cohesion, as expected. Gordon and Hunter have a pretty stable 1st team with added power in couple of positions, i think that helps cohesion...

They do go through some GMs there dont they, the new one lasted 3 months then.

why would clubs post results from trials? they arent official games so why would there be official results seperate womens accounts i understand in regards to socials as womens can pull a pool of seperate sponsors compared to grade/colts. but i doubt many sponsors are sponsoring a club...

I went to watch parra trials vs souths on the weekend after it was moved near home. i didnt ask much and just watched the grade games. souths cancelled 4s and looked to be struggling with some numbers too. parra rolled out 5 grade teams, basically a completely different team every 40 mins they...

They do have some impressive young players there who have come through colts with the coach. maybe lacked some experience heads and leaders last year, and whilst they have had some turnover, it does looks like they have recruited overseas well with good caliber and experience. Keen to see how...

Heard from weekend Hunter beat Parra and Eastwood beat Wests although all teams basically have been taking off their 1st grade teams after 60th min mark to give others game time and thats when most of the points have been scored to make them win or lose. I guess thats pre-season trials for you...

Gordon annihilated Souths by 70 ish points i heard (also lost last week to easts 2nd grade) Rats beat norths Uni beat Easts I think uni will be really good, the beat gordon the week before and royals the week before that. I think they havent lost pre-season game. be interested in knowing how...

27-22 i was told. could be wrong though. third party information from someone who watched.

uni beat canberra royals warringah beat gordon parramatta beat manly easts 3rd/4ths beat blue mountains

I just dont think that bottom 3, at the moment can compete with other clubs off-field, which impacts on field. I dont imagine they would have the same budgets as the other clubs to buy players. I dont think Parra or Souths have any waratahs in 2025 which i think is a massive shame. All 3 teams...

Botha at Uni Lambert at Uni Adrian Brown at Rats Mesu at Hunter https://waratahs.rugby/teams/nsw-waratahs/squad

Based on what ive heard recruitment wise, Warringah vs Gordon GF, Easts and Uni to make out the other 2 semi finalists. Norths and wildfires in the top 6. Manly and Norths to go close to the 6 with parra, souths and wests working out the bottom 3 places.

its live streamed on nswrugbytv i believe, i saw it on the facebook pages somewhere. looking at the tahs team/squad and the pasifica squad - if tahs dont win by 50, you'd be pretty disappointed. 28 players who have trained full time and had an overseas trial, plenty of super rugby and rep caps...

I think the comp will be close, it may come down to a couple of wins here and there for finals spots. i do think uni will go well

tipping norths to take it out vs easts in gf. rats and sydney uni to be the other 2 teams in the semi final. manly and gordon the other 2 in the top 6 randwick, parra to fight hard but just miss out on the finals. souths and wests wooden spoon battle
