    It's getting to the stage where volunteers who give up countless hours each week of their own time not to mention their own massive monetary loss each season will start walking away from community rugby in droves.When this happens and it will happen if the ARU keep bashing amateur clubs run by people who do it for the love of the game, the game as we know it will be well and truly fucked.

    Wests Scarborough 1st Grade juggernaut has played finals rugby each and every year since its inception and continues this remarkable feat yet again this season and unbelievably it's still rolling on and as an added little circle jerk for the masses Wests actually hold the record for the current longest unbroken finals record.

    and not just rugby either. Other sports have a problem retaining volunteers.

    Bloody cheek when the money is being used to bail out their Union.
    As far as I am aware, Subbies Rugby has not even told the clubs officially about the team levy.


    For those of you that dont know. The New South Wales Suburban Rugby Union (NSWSRU) is affiliated to the New South Wales Rugby Union and runs the competition affectionately known as "Subbies" rugby. There are around 7500 players and 55 clubs competing across 6 divisions, making "Subbies" the largest centrally administered rugby competition in the world. NSWSRU is truly the grassroots of the game in Sydney.

    This is sad. Is the loss of oz super rugby teams something that could happen? I suppose the reds are the only safe club. Leave a big hole for rugby fans!
