The Woodies hosting the Rats. I wonder why this is not the televised match. Fair dinkum.

Easts hosting a country round out at Orange.

Okay, good that it is being televised. Also, you never know, maybe we will lose. And who wants to watch that?

 

[wamberal]

Congrats, Rats.

How good are the Stags this year! That was some fantastic footy in Orange today.

They must have been a lot better than they were last week.

About as good as 3 and 4, eighth on the ladder. With coach to move on next year to twiggy rugby. What players will stay ??

They've beaten Easts and Uni and got within a whisker of beating a team currently sitting second. I'd say they're doing better than they have in years.

 

[I like to watch]

They went like busteds, when I backed them v Rats.
But to be fair, I’ve got a few teams beaten this year....

Ding dong match at Millner.
Gordon matched up to Easts in a trial match. Just cemented it. Great result.

Sideline conversion to win the match. Always admired Hamish Angus, wonder why he has not been of any interest at Soup level.

 

[seven wearing six]

Yup. I didn't want to watch... Angus has nerves of steel.

How did you manage to watch it? The game on the box was the Beasts and the Highlanders?

With a Uni bye, match of the day was always at TG.
Wish it was on the box 'ços so many highlights to replay.

Hope you enjoyed the day. Great spot, played there on the first day of the first season when it was designated as our home ground.

I've thought about playing Charcoals just to get a run around that ground, but a few years since I've played properly and I'd just look a right goose.
I do trust EDRFC will make a wise decision in their relocation. Sad to move away from there though.
I think it's six years since Uni's had a win there and that last loss to The Woods in Mudgee was almost an away game for Uni, too, so seven years away since we've taken the chockies away from home. That must be worthy of a trophy to contest between the two sides. The TG Cup. Winner SUFC v EWDRFC at EW home ground.

Dave Brockhoff was your secret weapon. Not so secret actually, the bugger was a one man cheer squad!!!!!
