Off season is over. Super Bowl over Dakar over and its time for the pre-season. I am really pumped for a big day out at the RTR clash and a Day Out at Souths Leagues with the family. A perfect tonic to start one of the most anticipated Rabbitoh seasons.

What a great achievement by our members 20,000 members before the first ball is kicked in the season.

Congratulations to Chris McQueen and Luke Keary on being being selected for the Emerging Maroons squad. Our players are getting more exposure at the elite level which is working wonders.

What a disappointment before the season even starts with Luke Burgess getting injured for 4-6 months in a training miss hap. Lets hope for a speedy recovery else we are going to need a another prop for season 2013.

With the ACC making announcements that all sports are suffering from the use of banned drugs and organised crime blackmail match fixing, this week. All it has done is tar all innocent players, clubs and sports. The quicker the ACC name sports, clubs and players the better. While it is a knee jerk reaction its good to see the ARLC establish a Integrity Unit to address the issue.
