I still think we need players and club supporters writing in to the media.

The power of media and the public support it can generate is an amazing thing.

THE NSW Rugby League board imposed a two-year suspended sentence on the Campbelltown Eagles Rugby League Football Club after it found the club continued to breach NSWRL, CRL and Western Suburbs District directives.

The directives related to the Eagles training only within the boundaries of the competition in which it now played - Group 6 - which extends from Camden and Wollondilly shire into the Southern Highlands.

The club’s homeground is at Waminda Oval, East Campbelltown.

The NSWRL board said it would not hesitate to suspend the whole club from all competitions if it continued to disobey its directives.

NSWRL general manager Geoff Carr said the club had agreed to abide by the rules.

“The board met with the Eagles and the club agreed on a position to compete in Group 6 and not train in the Western Suburbs district,” he said.

“This clearly was breached and the board will not tolerate a position where a club puts their interests in front of what is in the best interests for rugby league.”

The board also extended the suspension of Eagles’ president Andrew Ingram for a further 12 months as well as imposing two $1000 fines.

“The board treats matters seriously when a club makes a suspended individual its president and spokesperson,” Carr said.

In a statement, the Eagles said they would file an appeal to the board with relation to any evidence presented that their players were training and playing inside NSWRL boundaries.

In the meantime, Ingram has stepped down and been replaced as club chairman by Eagles life member Glen Harding.

Harding said the Eagles resolved to be nothing but “squeaky clean” in order to retain their CRL affiliation.

The Eagles added the decision would not have an impact on their junior teams.

What an absolute disgrace. Why is this insanity allowed to occur in Rugby League.

The Eagles and the Roos just want to do what's best for their players and represent Campbelltown in a well run, and competitive competition. Unfortunately the Wests Junior League doesn't provide that opportunity so they have decided to stick with Group 6. A competition they played in last year.

Now we have the NSWRL and Wests Junior Rugby League throwing legal threats around willy nilly, and preventing them from training or playing in their home town.
So much for Bon Jovi's "this is our house!" campaign when you can't even play or train in your own backyard.

And who is suffering from this?

Rugby League! The quicker Rugby League gets the new Independent Commission, and the sooner we extinct the dinosaurs running the game at present the better!

Let comon sense prevail.

Well said Galahs, i could not have said it any better myself, this a is a disgrace on all levels, how in there right mind could they come up with this, why doesnt Mr Carr come out and speak to the players and see for himself the passion the boys have for playing in a competition that drives them to new quality levels of Rugby League.

How can they restrict a club in this fashion, how many people are behind all this madness, come out from hiding, stand behind your decision and let the public know who you are. It truly disgust's me that people can be so vindictive and callous toward a club, a club that is giving 100+ men a opportunity to play a sport, a club that does more than just football by supporting charities such as Magrath Foundation, a club that entered 60+ members into the 24hr walk for Cancer Macarthur, a club that supports Indigenous players, coaching staff and supporters.

Yet because our club took a different direction of that of the JL the result is the media statement dealt by NSWRL today, the mind boggles as to where this game is going in Campbelltown when a club like ours is treated in this fashion.

That's an interesting point you raise there Stu.

Shouldn't the Eagles and Roos now be operating under CRL rules?

not sure if this is true or not but i have heard that the eagles roos & bulls are getting together, to maybe take wests to court
& my money would be on the three clubs as some of these so called rules do not exist & that whats been done to them is a restriction of trade, have also heard that they may put a complaint into nrl to have wests charged with bringing the game into disrepute.
can anyone confirm this bd you should know.
heard the same couch and all will be done pro bona by a sterling legal representative who has successfully had cases withdrawn or throw out in the past relating to rugby league matters
also hear aca is keen to do a story on the issue and name and shame council employees and wsdjrl for the treatment of ctown clubs who have left the area
BD can you confirm or is it all ush ush

As I have said before I have tried to be neutral on the Wests V Eagles - Roos debarcle as I have kids in both. But this has pushed me over the edge. It is the Australian way to back the underdog and this is a bit like David V Goliath (West Warriors V anyone else) As said before Eagles are a club that dont want to or should not be playing in the Wests Comp and if the JL says they can train and play in their "OWN" ground then this all goes away. I dont know who is right or wrong legally but morally this is nothing more than a witchhunt to try and catch kids/men training in an area that has always been their home ground or nearby. Wests dont own any of the grounds in Campbelltown but are running around like little children video taping any training sessions Eagles may have to suit their own agenda.

No matter what they do to Easts it will not bring them back into the West's comp so this is nothing more than persecution.

Shame on you Wests JL for your actions SHAME, SHAME,SHAME, what is this going to accomplish accept give some people the personal satisfaction of saying I won and you will do as I tell you. Hardly a professional attitude to the the game of rugby league.

I truly hope the TV/Radio media run with this issue and hopefully bring some sanity back into local Rugby League

Well said Maverick, this is a shame alright, whats more of a shame is that NSWRL are right in it up to there arm-pits. Your 100% correct West's do not own the grounds they are run by council, whom are funded by tax-payers dollars, one has to ask as to why they have some staff whom have sided with the JL, cant wait until it all comes out for the public to see just how insidious this all is. One would think there was massive prize money involved, my opinion is that decisions have been taken on how they feel about individuals, none of these decisions have been made with the most important part of the whole thing in mind and thats the players. How is one to understand the logic in all this????

Have the Eagles and Roos started to flood the media? Get people writing in to the editors, write letters and petitions to the NSWRL. the ARL, the NRL, who ever will listen.

Common sense must prevail and until the world knows about what's happening, it's too easy to sweep it under the table.
hey galahs you tell everyone to go to the media, but yet you pull our post because of the fear of being sued,
i would think if someone went to the media made a coment, about the wests comp but that same coment
was also posted on this forum, but then deleted, would this also not open you up to be sued for disallowing freedom
of speech, just remember if a coment that is ripped off this site, but that same coment makes it onto a letters to the editor
of a major paper, i would think you would have a problem of denying freedom of speech.

not trying to cause trouble but i have had posts taken off this forum, but i have posted these same comments on letters
pages of daily telegraph on line, the comments were scrutinised first then posted.

on another point i put a post on 13 april a moderator then scrutinised it then allowed it onto forum, then another moderator has come along & removed it, what is protical for removing posts, i take it that it is a personal thing whether a post is removed or not.

i am confused about how your moderators operate, i think you need to have every posting scrutinised by an independent person
(preferbly a legal person) before being allowed on the forum, this is what the newspapers do with there public forums, some coments
they will edit the posting or not allow it if it could cause problems, if you took this approach there would not be a problem with whats posted
just a sugestion.

Im looking forward to good battle in the middle of the park with Bowral but with the Half & 5/8 returning for the Eagles this week they may be abit too classly out wide.

Why is NSWRL imposing a two year suspended sentence and fines when the eagles snr club are affiliated with CRL? Talking about CRL have they made a comment on this matter ?

from what i have heard disco crl are in agreement on the non existant play & train rule, crl are as gutless as nswrl,
it is lucky that we have some very hard working dedicated people, i would like to personally thank, the group 6 board,
the boards of, the eagles, kangaroos, bulls & all the clubs in group 6 comp for not giving in & taking this fight all the way
you have all done the right thing by rugby league, remember this is not over yet they will not stop.
If this new commission is a truly indipendent commission for all of rugby league then the people doing this will be out of a job
but i wouldnt count on it, but everyone must agree the longer this goes on the more the game itself is going to suffer, as this has
already affected wests juniors which kicked off last week with a heaps of forfiets, coaches not allowed to coach the start of the juniors
comp has been a shambles

PS: We should nominate a few people that have been involved in this fight for the new comission eg graham andrews, daniel & tammy draper, heath & julie attard & a few others after what they have been able to achieve, they would do a fantastic job on the new comission

We just heard about 3rd grade, what about Firsts?
Camden v Mitta, Camden 2 good wins, and Mitta coming off a slog against Oakdale, I'll go Camden
Moss Vale v Oakdale, Both injury hit, i can't be impartial here
Picton v The Oaks, Haven't seen Picton but 2 from 2, however if The Oaks play to potential they could get up here
Narellan v Eagles, Eagles by 50
Thirlmere v Roos, Match of the round, i'll go Thirlmere in a tight one
Any thoughts?
