meat looks good but maybe a little gravy? even butter the roll?
our 1st grade coped a wake up call (loss), 2's and 3's were pretty comfortable wins....and then their first grade came out storming....gutted

Range of sauces available. Don't need butter when it's that good! I had one post-game* and it was Dwayne's best yet.
*We only put on a small brisket, as the visiting side are noted tight-arses when it comes to buying food. The fact that there was still some left is a crime. When they came back to the pub the food we put on evaporated.

Anyway, fuck 'em
Won First Grade 43-5 despite having a throw-together team
Lost Second Grade 61-12Their best players are probably in 2s but don't train apparently, so good on them for having principles and selecting guys who train. The guys looking to win a trophy in 2s probably don't give a fuck.
One of them won't be there to see it. lifted our 47yo hooker at a ruck. Ball was long gone. Big ban coming up

Broken wrist trying to stop his head hitting the turf first. Surgery this week. Probably never playing again.

i have a new pet peve
refs who have their priorities all messed up, the guy we had picked us up on a couple of not straight line outs (neither of which was contested)...but didnt pick up any of the high shots the other team put in...proper had to take our player off for assessment, clothesline jobs...right in front of him....was bloody criminal

@NTA poor bugger, hope all goes well

One of my other Committee members has knee surgery this week as well - perfectly legal tackle just went wrong in Round 1
@NTA now that i can sympathise with

1st and 2nd grade playing tonight. I presume this is so all grades can attend the Brumbies vs Crusaders which kicks off at the vastly more reasonable time of 14:35 AEST.

@antipodean thats cool, good initiative, sure it made prep a bit more difficult but if everyone is on the same page then all good

Stopped in to watch the first half of a local match here in Port Douglas yesterday arvo. I'd noticed some signs up in my travels during the week.
Nice vibe. Glad I stopped.
Port Douglas Reef Raiders v some team full of "Kiwi Looking" guys. Maybe @mariner4life could help me out? Black jerseys with red trim? Didn't seem to match any team colours from the Cairns website.
Visiting team looked big, strong and organised. However home team all as fit as buck rats (probably all foreign workers) crushing it at halftime jumping on half chances.
Kinda funny. Organised enough to have music to accompany the team running on to the field, but no flags or markers on the half or 22.
Fun. Will keep an eye out for other games.

Port beat Southside yesterday. And yes, Southside always packed full of pacific islanders

1 v 2 across all three grades in Melbourne, got wins in 3s and 1s...huge, down with 10 to go and our lock chases down the kick off after their try, one hand palms the ball out of one of their hands, hits the soft shoulder of their halfback and charges over the line....it straight up breaks them and we score two more in the final minutes

yeah, thats what we use....its fine...a long way from perfect...but fine
other than a bit clitchy, freezes etc....my biggest annoyance is stuff like the squad list is listed and firstname, surname...and listed in alphabetical by last name...pretty straight forward
but, if they didnt capitalise their last name then that goes too the bottom of the list
and when you remove someone from a match day 23....they go back into you list of available players....but at the bottom....not back into alphabetical
so not huge once you know but i always get new managers messaging me asking why they cant find someone because they logically didnt scroll past X on their list

You guys use the Rugby Xplorer App? It is coming to NZ later this year in preparation for next year.

It's better than nothing but not by much given how clunky the UI is.
I only use it to look at fixtures, but from a club perspective we use it for rego and selling merchandise.

Four weeks.
Four. Fucking. Weeks.
I've called the competition manager for a "please explain". One question he had was over any injuries sustained and whether we put those in the report.
Completly fucking irrelevant. The level of injury determines the level of sentencing? Fuck no. Intent of the player should be the determining factor, and the intent here was clearly to harm. That could have been anything from a sore shoulder through to life in a wheelchair. Does the guy get two weeks if nobody got hurt?
Livid.
