You’ll be pretty happy with that outing @The Rocket. Didn’t realise you had picked up Josh Macguire as well. Good signing.

I still find no reference to Cumberland in the club name. I found Parramatta District RLFC, but nothing with Cumberland.

Well it is there somewhere because that is the full title of the club, If bugs you so bad, ring the football club and get a lowdown on their history and all will be revealed.

Josh Macguire has been playing for the Dragons since April 2021, when the Dragons bought out his contract from the Cowboys......Macguire will not play again for the Dragons until round 6, due to a suspension he picked up after round 25 last season.

MARS STADIUM BALLARAT VIC

MELBOURNE STORM 24 DEFEATED  NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS 10

[THE RED ROOSTER]

Good Crowd at Mudgee as you would expect for the Charity Shield. While I am in favour of trial matches being taken to county areas, (the attendance for Saturday's double header in Gosford would have caused a 25 page thread on the General Rugby League forum if played up here). You have to feel sorry for spectators at an AFL ground at Ballarat. It loked klike a case of bring your binoculars.

Although you never read too much into pre-season, West Tigers had some neat interplay through Jackson Hastings. The Dragons are looking good though last year's Charity Shield is a bit of a low bar but despite players leaving, never write off the Melbourne Storm. That is one well-coached outfit. that will be there or thereabouts in the playoffs

POINTSBET STADIUM CRONILLA NSW

CRONULLA SUTHERLAND SHARKS 30 DEFEATED  CANTERBURY BANKSTOWN BULLDOGS 6

[THE RED ROOSTER]

A less quality game than the other Trial games I have seen. Difficulty to tell how Sharkies did against a Desperate Dogs team who were really bad despite the big money buys.

Is the voluntary tackle rule null and void these day,s as early on Matt Dufty threw himself to the ground with the Sharks defence at least a metre away. Penallty surely ref...

Looking forward to vidsit the new Shark Park Pointsbet Stadium in 2023.

There won’t be much special to enjoy. The leagues club is shut and the stadium has had no changes.

Nah it’s ok. I’ve done my research and I am now confident that Cumberland is does not and has not featured in the club name.

I know in the 1960's they were called that but can't find anything online that backs it up but there was life before the internet.
