THE LATE MAIL:

Piggy Riddell has agreed to terms with The Oaks, with the club promising him employment as mentioned before, however not at the Tahmoor Colliery.
Oakdale centre Shane Valentine leaving and heading to a neighbouring club, not The Oaks.
As reported earlier, Campbelltown City to announce a big signing.
Narellan's new signing Rocky Trimachi to renege on his deal, and end up at Picton.
If that is the late mail what club is Shane going to as the only "neighbouring club is The Oaks, you can't call Picton or Camden neighbouring although there the next closet clubs!

Rocky has a lot of ties to Narellan, what makes you think he will renege and go to Picton? They are in the same boat as Narellan and only have a majority of their players local juniors and as always will give the comp a shake but not enough to jump ship!

Who is this big signing? The only known signings seem to be the ones Camden keep announcing and all the players that are supposedly going to Thirlmere. So close to the season where are all the announcements?

Bargo Bunnies are back

FOUR decades in the rugby league wilderness will come to an end this season when Bargo field a team in the Group 6 competition.
Believed to be founded in 1928, the Bargo Bunnies will begin a new era by reforming to compete in the Group 6 second division this season.

A call for players from the club's secretary Beth Nolan, who erected a sign at Bargo Hotel in her bid to attract players, has led to the Bargo Bunnies rising from obscurity to form a team for the first time since the club disbanded in 1972.

Coach Todd Borthwick, who has coached junior and senior teams at Picton, will lead his players.

Steering his former teams to four grand finals, winning three, Borthwick will rely on his enthusiastic players to produce a successful season in the club's return to one of the toughest rugby league competitions in the area.

"We have a lot of local boys playing for us," Borthwick said.

"We've got about half a dozen who were good when they were playing as juniors but they haven't played for a few years.

"I'm banking on their skills.

"We've a few who haven't played before so we've got a mixed bag."

Borthwick has been impressed with the players' attitude to training.

His main aim is to win more games than he loses this season, a feat he could achieve if his team reproduces on the paddock the enthusiasm shown at training.

"I haven't seen or coached a team that's is so excited and enthusiastic," Borthwick said.

"The boys are bursting out of their skin to play football.

"They are training the house down, they're training very hard and improving their fitness and handling.

"The enthusiasm is there, they're keen as anything."

The Bunnies, who will sport the same colours as NRL team the Rabbitohs, train at Bargo Sportsground but plan to play home games at Hannaford Oval, Wilton.

With a view to forming some junior teams next year, the Bunnies hope to share the sportsground with Wollondilly Australian Football Club.

"They play on different days to us so it shouldn't really be a big problem," Borthwick said. "We want to work with them."

The Bunnies training sessions take place on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6.30pm.

We're in it to win, says president

Welcome home: Macarthur Bulls members (from left) Jacob Dematos, Denis Hellyer, Reece Fitzgerald, Jhy Karam, Matt Spanos and Matt Hughes are pleased to be training at Elderslie. Picture: Jonathan Ng

MACARTHUR Bulls Rugby League Football Club will call Hannaford Oval their home ground in this season's Group 6 competition but will train at Hilder Reserve, Elderslie.
The club plans to put an under-18 and a second division team into the competition next season.

Club president Matt Hughes said there had already been a few new signings to bolster the Bulls' ranks for next year.

"Jacob Dematos and Reece Fitzgerald will be the heart and soul of the Macarthur Bulls under-18s in 2012," he said.

"They're both from the grand final-winning Eagle Vale St Andrews under-18 side from this season and they'll link up again with their former coach Fred Borg."

Dennis Hellyer — who came from the Eagle Vale St Andrews club — and Hughes, will lead the way as coaches for the second division team.

The Bulls signed Jhy Karam, under-18s player of the year in the Western Suburbs District Junior Rugby League competition.

And with Matt Spanos and Bulls' leading try-scorer for this year Ame Traill, the Bulls will "have skill and speed to burn", according to Hughes.

"Hellyer said his young charges are looking forward to week-in week-out footy in the Country Rugby League Group 6 competition after a year of washouts and forfeits in the Western Suburbs senior comp," Hughes said.

Hughes believes the club had a successful 2011 season.

"Just playing in Group 6 was a win for the team and club, but we will now be concentrating on building a strong squad to compete for the second division title," he said.

"2011 was all about establishing and finishing third was a great effort, but we won't be happy with just competing in 2012, we are in it to win it."

High hopes for season Coach aims for injury-free run

BY SEAN CUNNINGHAM

Welcome: Camden Rams coach Mark De Ubago (left) is pleased to have new signings (from left) Sam Campbell, Joel Wisbey, Neil Begovich and Aaron Firman, in his team. Picture: Simon Bennett

CAMDEN'S Group 6 first grade rugby league team is optimistic about producing a successful season if they can avoid a fate which haunted them last year — an excessive injury list.
Despite losing two key players in the off-season, coach Mark De Ubago remains positive due to a successful off-season recruitment campaign.

Retaining the majority of his players, De Ubago hopes to emulate the Rams' winning streak of four consecutive victories last season.

But this time he wants his team to continue its winning mentality.

Producing a great start to the competition last year, the Rams fell in a hole following a multitude of injuries.

"The injuries killed us last season and they just kept mounting up after we won our first four games," De Ubago said.

"We were demoralised with injuries, but it gave us the chance to blood some under-18s.

"This season, pending injuries, we'd like to make the semis.

"I'd be quite happy to reach the semis and then see what happens."

The loss of last season's Group 6 first grade leading try-scorer Mahn Darley — who scored 20 tries in 11 games — and forward Ben Weir, should be negated with several former Rams' juniors returning to the club with more experience.

"It's good that a lot of local boys have come back to the club too," De Ubago said.

"Some of them played in the 18s four years ago and they're back.

"There'll be a lot of pressure on Adam Marshall and Chris Browne this year.

"Last season was their first time together in the halves so they had teething problems.

"But we've signed well in the forwards and a strong forward pack means we should be strong in the backs, too."

A recent session with wrestling expert Mick Cutajar and a great mood at regular training sessions has boosted the team's confidence and skills.

"We went to the wrestling trainer just to pick up some tricks of the trade and some techniques," De Ubago said.

"We got a lot more out of it than I thought.

"It covered not only tackling, but how to get someone off you quickly in the play-the-ball."

De Ubago's coaching skills recently received international recognition when he was named as assistant coach of the Philippines team which is due to play a Test match against Thailand later this year.

Great showing from our boys today and with the addded bonus of having 5 young men selected its a massive boast to the team and the club - well done boys!!! Reece Fitzpatrick AKA the manchild was very impressive well done son!!!

The boys put in a great performance and will give the 18s a real shake this year and enjoy the week to week footy Group 6 will offer them.
It would be good to know the names of the players that selected.
:) A bit late reply but congratulations to the following players from Macarthur Bulls 18's who were selected to trial for the "Redbacks" next fortnight.
Reece Fitzgerald, Gus Gibbons, Rhys Norman, Junior Lepou-Fiapito and Taliee Taefu. :clap:

Didn't a memo go out stating that no one was allowed to employ a wrestling coach?
Kick them out of the comp! LOL

Have I mentioned that Brendon Reeves will be coaching the group six side this year?
He's out for redemption in the representative ranks after his losing campaign with the Aussie tertiary team last year. Is he the man to bring the group out of a slump? I think yes. He definitely won't pick the usual token jersey getters
