Ryan Davis (Orange High 2010) was signed and paid well with a Parramatta contract, his school played Union and league, he is an example of someone who should not be offered Union pathways. An example of a school which last year had team cohesion but no really outstanding Union players was...

Most day boys at St Gregs play league, nearly little or no union, because they can play league through the holidays, boarders play union as they have to go home. James Luff, their last years union captain and a boarder played league on Thursday afternoon for the school, rugby on Saturday for the...

Rugby must develop rugby players, no league players at all except the ones who helped out their league school mates occassionally to play for their school. Any players on a league contract are not permitted to play Rugby by their league club so are in breach of their contract. No 9 please state...

Who knows which Oakhill / Stannies / St Pats players are going into the Augustines side to make up the 1st XV. Seems like St Pats are performing really well according to those reports of their combined grades, maybe with rep ISA injuries,selectors will include Pats standouts. How are both ISA...

I think the selectors got it right ! Hey Heally, great comments. Hills Sports high often come up against ISA in rep and Waratah, Hills got two outside coaches, not teachers, with rugby/league coaching references and experience as long as your arm. So well done ISA coaches/teachers. Hey...

Hey, I have no time at all, for any players who don't hit the gym and hard work, and over a number of years with dedication. I at no point said NZ teams to join ISA. Augustines as you know don't play against challenging opposition, so I suggested they may try top NSW, Queensland, NZ and SA...

:cool: Hey Watch very well put and I entirely agree. You point out they have, are and will, gain 1/2 - 2/3 of ISA team so prevent students from other schools from gaining ISA rep honours. Their track record surpasses any of the top ten NZ teams, refer to my previous post, and they outperform the...

:D:) Hey No9, is this a quote from you ? "Rep football requires players who can sustain high levels of consistent performance and the best way (although agreed not foolproof) to expose this is to observe them over a number of games within a team environment which is what I believe is the...

:D;) Hey No9, in answer to your question "which form is more reliable". Observe last years NZ competition records. Using your selection criteria which two teams only, would you have selected to form a representative side ? St Kents, and St Bede's ? According to your choice of selection none of...

:D;) Hi all, I think Liam Berry (All Saints) deserves a jersey ISA 1sts. He was selected as an ISA prop last year at 120kg, and he could deadlift 180kg then. He has since then spent 4 weeks at the NZ sports academy, been to the 4 day Brumbies camp, played for and scored a try for Bathurst...

:D ;) (Green & gold) Hey Schools Rugby, good update about the SA schools and their "comp". New Zealand are the only ones who have a real decider between schools and having said that Kelston Boys High lost seven times in 2011, however they did go on to win the National top four comp. This site...

:D:) (Green & Gold) Hey Watch, my legal team say nominated Stannies lads have every right to selection consideration even if they were only disembarking from a return flight from representing their country and school at international level. It certainly will be interesting to see the final...

Hey Bob, Sanix is by invitation only. There is an expectation that the school be in the top five. Stannies has very close links with their Japanese sister school Nanzan. South Africa are questioning why they sent a 34th "ranked" school "Monnas" but they are more concerned with their own home...
