Brumbies cotton wool - Marlins response

David Begg, Marilins President, responds to Brumbies ban on releasing contrated players to the Sydney Grade competition:-
"It is a decision which in our view does not seek to improve the players involved rugby skill set – in fact quite the contrary. The players will suffer from playing in an inferior competition, with inferior coaching and the lack of any media interest in the local Canberra competition. It devalues the Sydney competition significantly, and we have asked the Australian Rugby Union to intervene”.
6 key Marlins players are impacted which could damage the team's title chances later in the season when other Super franchises release their players.

·        Andrew Smith
·        Anthony Hegarty
·        Dylan Sigg
·        Jono Owen
·        Michael Hooper
·        Robbie Coleman
MANLY MAULED
You'd have to be a brave man to wave a Brumbies flag at Manly Oval this  season. Manly this week received a letter from the Brumbies which stated that  all their contracted players would have to play in the Canberra club  competition. The letter, signed by Brumbies coach Jake White, said that due to  on-field commitments, training requirements and promotional obligations, it was  ''imperative that the entire squad transfer to Canberra-based clubs''. So there  go six of Manly's key players, including Michael Hooper and Andrew Smith.  Manly  are understandably unimpressed. And if you see the Brumbies play some old moves  this year don't be shocked. As White is close mates with Eddie Jones, some of  the old plays and theories from their former coach, who helped them to a Super  title in 2001, are bound to be used.

Feeling the Heat - Kiama 7s

The Marlins ran two teams on a hot, sunny day by the beach in Kiama on Saturday, 25th February, 2012. Unfortunately, both teams were knocked out in the semis.

Manly A drew 12 all with eventual tournament winners, the Kiama Inn team - they went through having scored the first try.

Manly B lost to the Ha'oteini Spartans 20-21 in a tight thriller.

Players were able to have a swim between games and plenty of water and refreshments were supplied by the ever energetic John "Swansea" Hinton.

The Marlins also lent support to the country team, Molong. Despite being knocked out early, in classic 7s tradtion, they were there to enjoy the atmosphere.

Club officials and supporters gathered in various cabins at a nearby campsite after the competition for BBQs, analysis and Super15 viewing...much fun had by all.

Definitely a date for rugby fans to get in the diary!
