Gents - there are issues such as Tribalism we need to look at too. Some guys want to be at one club from junior to senior and then crusty status. I think you are touching on an aspect which is being addressed. Are the clubs - whether Chardonnay or District focusing on skill and pathway to the Force or social and participation? Is there room to cater for both Rugby types at a single club?
Sevenmile - I hear you but won't follow you. "It's not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. And at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat"
