Dubbo Rugby Juniors are Country stars DUBBO has been a nursery for rugby over the past 30 years and in 2017 several more players have stepped up from club to Country level. Under-15 players, half, Max Rumble and centre, Nick Tye, played in Sydney earlier this year and teamed up again with the Country under-15s in Canberra last week. Both played key roles as the boys from the bush showed the ACT Brumbies their quality in a 43 to 17 win. Kye Stubbs is another
who gained selection, stepping out for the under-14s Country gold. All three are aiming to follow in the footsteps of former Roos juniors Tom Robertson and Beau Robinson and finish up as Wallabies. Another Roos junior, Nick Duffy was a standout for Northern Suburbs in their recent Shute Shield win over Eastwood. Nick moved to Orange with his parents Damien and Susan and has developed into a more complete half since earning his call up to first grade.

THE Rhinos are still celebrating some famous wins during their 25th anniversary! Guy Perrin, Glen Gallagher and Chris Gibson were all smiles after the Rhinos upset the Roos to claim the inaugural Mark Melville Cup in 2001. Despite their lowly place on the ladder, the Rhinos dominated the “one game of the year” from 2001-03, however the closest they have come since was a 20 to 0 loss in the first match this season.
