RA need to win back the rooms by clawing back some Integrity into NSWJRU then interest from thTo do this need transparency in below 1. Pathways - TAHS/GENBLUE/STATE/SCHOOL/DISTRICT/CLUB. Pathways shown no one knows the steps 2. Minimum and position specific player requirements to make TAHs...

Agree! He played union at Gordon as a junior out in the centres. Pickup work rate at the rucks

Co-ed open door to more funding for the girls game

Should advertise their first junior clubs as league does.

After looking at yourself when is it time to stop trying and looking at selection or process? Minimum criteria/goals needs to be tabled by coaches etc prior to a players journey into rep footy. NSWJRU need to realise club footy is a business - if parents/players aren't happy with the...

Poor lads, 100% agree with this, duty of care..zero. At club level to play up 2 years need dispensation and testing prior to go ahead.

Interesting, considering all these stat's looking in the challenge would/then is selectors/selection process? Strategy, what kind of player you need and game plan. PONI is no different to League clubs signing kids at Matts and contracts void once they turn 17

Be interesting to see how NSW applied for dispensation to play him 3 years up aye ref?

Year 10s playing up I'm 50/50 with, I would give them the choice. Make yourself eligible to play 1st/2nd at school and only eligible to trial for GPS Opens therefore forfeit the eligibility to drop back down to U16 presidents. Your words "if you're good enough" should have it and make it. You...
