i honestly thought they might have learnt from the Blues....just ditching coaches isn;t going to fix anything
-
fuck i just love to laugh at NSW rugby
i read an article on the dumping, and some guy said that the state of the Waratahs is due to not enough attention paid to the Shute Shield.
In case you didn't know, when the Shute Shield was the main thing, the Wallabies won two world Cups. Wish i had a buck for every time some establishment piston wristed gibbon has come out with that.
All the players, all the resources, and it's fucked because the dumb fluffybunnies in charge can't get past private schools and Eastern Suburbs rugby clubs. I hope they suck forever.

The more people you have, the more dickheads you have to deal with.

Here's the funny thing: Shute Shield isn't run by NSWRU. It is run by Sydney Rugby Union (SRU) which is an affiliate union under NSWRU. They can choose to completely fucking ignore each other if they want, but they don't.

Perhaps need a few Sydney posters to get on their club committees and make a diffrence?

Couldn't hurt to have more people involved.
I'm on the Committee of my club and the Board of Suburban Rugby (which is the amateur competition that mirrors Premier).
Scope for change is limited because SRU can wall itself off from the rest. Rugby Australia aready took away the handouts. The only thing left would be for NSWRU to de-affiliate (?) SRU until they also undergo reform.
But that is a case of cutting off noses to spite faces etc.

Mostly for us it is discussing and voting once a month on things. New ideas etc.
Late last year I brought the concept of Womens Tens as an option for Subbies clubs - traditionally women's is the domain of NSWRU under the Sydney Womens Rugby Union, currently running 15s and 7s through the year (but only every 2-3 weeks for 7s).
I'd like the ladies playing alongside the boys on a Saturday. Much better atmosphere. Also means I can get grant money for double the change sheds

Four weeks' suspension (mid-range entry point), reduced to two weeks.

@stargazer Wow. Two weeks for that!

@antipodean Yes, if it was direct contact with the head, you'd expect more, wouldn't you?

@higgins said in Waratahs v Rebels:
No sign of Sam Caird yet again. Oh yes there is if you are intending on attending the 3.30pm match at the Glen Willow Stadium in Mudgee where you will see him fronting up for Sydney Uni in their Shute Shield encounter with Eastwood.
P.S. Don't see him on the team sheet, unless he's playing the part of the second Grade trophy aka Colin Caird.
-
@nta https://www.sydneyunirugby.com.au/team-list.html
You will see Sam Caird this time on the team sheet for Sydney Uni's match against Pernrith this weekend. At least it is still there at the time of writing! -
@nta My nephew is scoring bucket loads of tries for Uni at the moment so with what you have just said there will probably be a few more on the way this afternoon. Queue my confidence in that for him to suddenly stop scoring!!! We don't seem to be getting Shute Shield coverage on TV over here this year which is a bit of a shame, hopefully it might resume a bit later in the season........................

@higgins Penrith won 11-7 against fellow easy beats Two Blues.
They'll ship 100 against Uni
