2021 RM Cup & Sydney Shield

[rightleftin]

The Kaiviti Silktails are still awaiting approval from the Queensland Government for their 28 man squad to travel from Fiji. The original plan would have seen their 14 day quarantine ending about now, allowing them to transfer to their Sydney base. If they overcome these hurdles they will be unique as a full time team playing in a minor competition.

PNG Hunters would be the same in Q Cup.

PNG Hunters would be the same in Q Cup.

RMC is certainly a minor competition but I would not regard Q Cup or NSW Cup, with many players from NRL full time squads participating, as minor competitions.

Are the Bankstown Bulls the same team as the old Sydney Bulls from the JBC days?

Are the Bankstown Bulls the same team as the old Sydney Bulls from the JBC days?

The Sydney Bulls were bankrupted, so the short answer is no, but Bankstown Bulls but there is a connection. At some stage Bankstown City and Bankstown Bulls merged to form Bankstown Cougars and then Sydney Bulls connected to that junior club and the Cougars changed its name to Bulls.

Kaiviti Silktails arrived today. Mascot Oval will be their home ground this season.

I’m hearing Blacktown will be sending the blokes that don’t play Massey to brothers shield , is this correct ?

It looks like that you are correct. Last week 3 guys from Brothers SS team were slotted into the Manly Flegg trial team.

 

[Butts74]

Anyone have any results from the trials played on the weekend in those atrocious conditions?

 

[rightleftin]

Ryde Eastwood beat Mounties 7 tries to 4 in RMC.
Moorebank beat Ryde Eastwood 22-16 in SS.

Cronulla Caringbah definitely in Shield this year

Cronulla Caringbah definitely in Shield this year

Thats good. They might it a bit tougher this year with the Sydney teams back. Also michael lichia seems to be in a bit of trouble.

 

[Sharkie Army Gorilla]

Fiji have the bye first round.

 

[Sharkie Army Gorilla]

Glebe have a feeder arrangement with Cronulla Caringbah in Shield as do Mounties with Moorebank

 

[Tigers1986]

Any news on the start date? Might have missed it in thread, and the NSW site is laughable if you think you'd get an answer.

Cronulla Caringbah definitely in Shield this year

The draw I have seen has Cronulla Caringbah but not Penrith Brothers. It does name Blacktown Workers so I'm guessing that is Penrith Brothers
