@Hef0909 @OBBY001 I saw one hilarious outcome in the early 2000’s where a Shute Shield club had paid for a Pacific Islander international prop to come to Australia and a division two subbies team managed to get his signature on a form first and refused to release him.

@CaudalRaphe @OBBY001 Yes, I believe similar recruitment strategies were used by other clubs around that time. They were used in Subbies too.

@Hef0909 @OBBY001 That was certainly the clubs narrative I have heard first hand accounts of calls from Dwyer directly to Aust U21 players with offers of job, car and free rent if they’d move to play for Randwick They weren’t the only club to do that sort of thing

@OBBY001 Interesting as I remember him as being someone who wasn’t too fond of the rough stuff!

@CaudalRaphe @OBBY001 Interesting. I always heard that Randwick never had to pay players as they were a famous club that was seen by many as a stepping stone to representative honours (therefore, players would willingly play for nothing).

@OBBY001 Club great is probably fair Played at a club that paid players handsomely during the amateur era so was surrounded by talent and was a good goal kicker Dwyer (Randwick coach) only took him to RWC in 91 to give the team practice at receiving kickoffs

@Hef0909 Yep he wouldn't come through with a vehicle so I pulled the pin and finish this Friday. A lovely garden to work in but a very remote location and basic conditions and infrastructure needs upgrading etc etc Heading back to the Bool for a break and see what else is about 🌊

@Hugh_96 The man in question is a controversial character. His prime ministership (1998-2021) was plagued by corruption allegations. His reign as chairman of the Samoan Rugby Union has followed a similar path.

@mward1246 It does seem that way and unfortunately it’s come at the expense of regional venues. Canberra is the other obvious casualty, of course.

@Hef0909 Agree Hugh. Likewise the Central Coast has missed out this time. We had Japan vs USA in 2003 - so much fun - and a Lions build up in 2013? Seems their focus is on capacity & profit?

@mward1246 Yes, it is exciting for Newcastle but it’s disappointing (although not surprising) that there are no games in the Gong this time, especially with major renovations planned for WIN Stadium.
