Cockburn 7's

[fulvio sammut]

The first day of the weekend competition was on today.

Anyone know the results? I saw Southern Lions play Pally first up, but had to leave after that game due to another commitment. Nothing to write home about, but it was stinking hot.

Does any one have any results for the day's play?

[theforceguy]

Wanneroo uprising 22 southern lions 0

Wanneroo uprising

Some of those are not Wanneroo players.

That guy who defected from Paly recently was playing for southern lions yesterday and not his new club Kala. What the? I know of 2 individuals that have left Kala as a result of the saga. Not a happy camp apparently and if this chap carries on in his normal fashion there might be more dramas unfolding.

Tony Ball and his Neddies team looked pretty hot at yesterdays sevens and look the team to beat. The team includes a centre that Nedlands has recently snaffled from Paly, Ha Ha Ha..

Go Neddies

Where are they from then and what do you know about any other movements

Eg the big chap on the far right of the photo has played for wests as long as I can remember. A good player and made one of the Force academy levels and also was a reserve for the aust schoolboy team last year.

Have wanneroo poached him or just a guest appearance? Does Westie know?

[westies man]

He's back at Wests as is Cody, the player lying down in front

[theforceguy]

Wanneroo men's winners of the plate final

The guy with the dreadies looks like the guy who was playing for southern lions yesterday and recently defected from paly to Kala, Why the F would he be playing for one team one day and another the next?

This guy would seem to want to play for anyone; well anyone that will give him money and free stuff anyway, from what I've heard.

Where's that Coyote Coyote guy - thought he was wanneroos king pin sevens player (and part time cotesloe player!)

Is there any loyalty nowadays or are modern day players (amateur and professional) a bunch of untrustworthy, disloyal and self centred mercenaries?

I'm starting to see a bit of a trend.

[travelling_gerry]

Maybe he just likes to play rugby with his mates and doesnt give two hoots about petty club politics?

[fulvio sammut]

Lets not start this shit again.

[wholetruth]

KK was not available. He's also coaching at wanneroo again. What's the part-time Cott player mean

[Darkness]

"petty club politics"

I hope and pray that Joondalup continues to get raped and pillaged and when we hear the bleating about the premier grade clubs are stealing all their good players I will remind you that we don't give a hoot about your petty club politics! Going to be a fun year ahead it would seem.

My comments were in defence of Joondalups position especially as it aims to get into premier grade in 2014. But you're right Gerry, lets let traditional loyalty go out the window and let market forces dictate the game - Joondalup will lose big time.

I'll give the green light to the power brokers at Neddies to see Joondalup as a happy hunting ground from now on and that you don't mind at all. Its all very petty as you say. All those kids with Joondalup next to their names in the State teams are now recruitment targets.

[travelling_gerry]

I don't have any club loyalties. And seeing the toxic environment it causes around here I am sure there are many others who would rather shun clubland as well.

Lets not start this shit again.

I agree!

[westies man]

One or two cockheads out of the many people who post comments in regards to metro rugby Gerry shouldn't cloud your judgement.

Thank you Southern Lions for bringing us some local Rugby so early on in the year; A great couple of days 7s (Apart from the heat, maybe all games under lights next year pls :-) )

My highlight from Saturday evening………. watching a 36yr old go by the name KK carve-up the young bloods for the Roodogs; it was an absolute privilege.

Love ya bar staffers too, See you next year.

Cheers
