Silktails are back to winning ways with a 38-14 win over cabramatta

Silktails go down to a 1 point defeat against Mounties losing 21-20.

Silktails win their 2nd match of the season beating the western suburbs magpies 36-16

Not sure but I think a squad of 28 players should be enough for the season.

That is a much better performance and very encouraging by the silktails in only their 2nd ever Ron Massey cup match. The ridiculous amount of rugby talent available for the silktails almost certainly ensures that they will be a huge success.

Absolutely. The team needs time to settle down and more gameday experience . Even if only 1 player from the squad wins an NRL contract then that for me counts as a success.

Silktails went down heavy today losing 56-6 against st Mary’s.

Oh yeah. Well done to my team

My team

Mercenarios for me

The kaiviti silktails round 2 match in the Ron Massey cup has been postponed due to the torrential rain in Sydney

Lots of links between the various institutes of both countries like the military, police and governmental programs etc. All positive stuff.

In what way ridiculous mate? Easy or hard?

Was just a friendly I believe as they had a bye. Next weekend is the real thing.

I also see that former dragons and wallaby winger eto nabuli is back in league playing for wentworthville magpies.

Any details of the silktails win against mascot jets at the weekend?

That’s the nature of the beast in modern rugby in both codes but particularly RL because we have the weaker hand. I honestly don’t have a problem with code-hoppers especially when it comes to tier2 nations like Fiji because they need all the help they can get. The key is for a nation like Fiji is to create a decent sized player pool/depth so when players switch back to union there’s another player ready to fill the gap and soften the blow. There’s also the risk of Australia pinching a few of the potential world class players.

We shouldn’t live in the past or say “what if” but imagine how healthy the NRL and Fiji RL and RL in general would be today if all this was done 15-20 years ago?

It would be foolish not to make the linkup. If I was in charge of an NRL club I’d be moving heaven and earth in order to make that partnership. Is there a limit for the number of feeder clubs each NRL club can partner up with?

On the wing.

I’m absolutely convinced that there’s enough untapped gems in the Liverpool and greater Merseyside region at schoolboy level waiting to be unearthed to justify investment from either saints, wire or even Widnes.

This. Remove hull and Lincolnshire and replace them with st helens&warrington with Merseyside or wigan and north/central Lancashire. Its RL all over.

It’s a shame that there’s no RL presence in the Carlisle area and north Cumbria anymore as a team from Dumfries could compete against them.

Are Easterhouse no more?

How awesome is the National Peru RL jersey. A similar take on the national football jersey which is pretty iconic l
