Shute Shield 2026

[The Ghost of Raelene]

They need it all stabilised. I know it doesn't directly effect on field play but all the unknowns around future homes and when they'll move etc doesn't help.

Not an attractive recruitment or retention place when simple things are up in the air. It then snowballs. Players will start leaving just on rumours going around now.

Ably assisted by the noise their hear on rugby forums

Yes but in the last 12 months we have had DOR, Head Coach, General Manager, Head of Colts & Operations Manager leave.

What is happening at TG?

I noticed on the eastwoods facebook page when they did the pasifica announcement thing that there were comments from the coaches who played a major part in getting that up and going and those comments have now been deleted by eastwood admin. comments on the line of 'stop trying to save your club by now promoted pasifica whilst in the background and behind closed doors your saying you have too many of them and to get rid of them'

 

[Marlins]

Marlins reported a significant increase in income and profit at their AGM last night, together with a highly credentialled new coaching line up to support Sam Lane, starting with Nathan Grey as DoR, and Harry Fehily as defence coach. Together with Harry Jones as colts coach, there is a strong energy around the club's preparations for 2026.

With the Rats winning the title there's nothing more I'd like to see than the Marlins rise and that rivalry hit fever pitch on the Northern Beaches.

Interesting that's where Grey has landed. Is he in any other roles around the place?

Is it true the players from last season are still owed money + others as well and the General Manager Bec Watson won't respond to queries. Makes it very hard to toe the line with the movement rules if clubs are behaving like this.
