Cranbrook plays Shore on 11 April and Knox plays Shore on 3 May 25.

I spoke with Dr Collier (Shore) last year and he mentioned that the section around sports scholarships in the AAGPS Code of Conduct had quietly disappeared. I'm not sure if it used to sit in 6.9 and it was removed in the 2023 revision? There is definitely a lot of false accusations of boys...

What about Armstrong? Or is he still injured?

I believe Galligan is injured.

The full wording that I have seen is: New contracting model for players aged 16-19 by 2026, which caps remuneration and number of contracts, regulates player relocation, agent engagement and scholarships, and lifts the minimum contracting age to the calendar year the player turns 16. The...

I saw today that the NRL is proposing to introduce some new rules around juniors, including player agents restricted from signing junior talent until the calendar year in which they turn 18, and restricting the number of players a club can have on its books between the ages of 16 to 19. Should...

Sidwell has the versatility to also play any of the positions in the back row. My guess is that they can slot him in anywhere, and will use that to optimise the forward pack.

Definitely 1sts or 2nds.

They're cousins.

Barretto from Cranbrook to Joeys, Hunt to Barker, Little to Knox, Strachan to Shore. Not saying on scholarship, I'm just answering the question.
