Well said . It is all about having the strongest 46-50 boys (assuming some shadows due to injuries) across two teams. There would only be a handful of boys in this group that have only one pathway; I know three but I am sure there are more. People get a bit funny about the silverware. It...

D Don't forget the GPS kicker, Storey also missed a relatively easy goal conversion in front that hit the uprights. I do agree though that the top 4 teams are Pres A, Pres B, ISA and CHS. It would be good to have a real round robin over two weekends as you don't gain much information when...

It was a tongue in cheek response. The boy in question is listed as coming from St Doms, not known as a AAGPS school. Perhaps it's a feeder school from Tonga. There is no doubting he is a very good player but really can the Newington selectors get it together and finalise the transfer papers so...

That means, the paperwork hasn't been finalised yet.

Re 12, I would put money on him being a transitional scholarship holder at either Newington or Kings! If it is the same boy, he was very strong. Cameron King unlucky to not be No. 8 in 1st Xv. Some surprising decisions.

Gordon has developed a successful model that makes people want to join the club/programs. A more disciplined and pseudo professional approach is what attracted us to the club rather than a couple of random training runs. Maybe other rep sides should do the same? I have only ever seen great...

Link to rep teams: http://juniors.rugby.com.au/Representative.aspx 15s and 17s squads announced. 16s to follow. 14s will be Norths to play Country.

http://juniors.rugby.com.au/Representative.aspx The Under 15 regional teams have been announced this year with an additional Barbarians team. 16s not out yet. 17s squad announced.

See the NSW State Cup Thread for all state championships results. Gordon beat Eastwood; Warringah beat Parramatta.

I might have missed this but how is the competition winner decided at the end of 10 rounds if there isn't an outright winner? Points for and against? Or is there a possibility of joint premiers? And does this apply for all age groups.

I agree with the above. The end game is to have the biggest possible pool of 16s being considered in at least 1 or two forums. Stamp Champs are great as it brings in ACT plus country teams. NSW Schools brings in the rest (with duplication). Does Country actually have three chances to be viewed...

You must be Dylan's mother! But just for the record, the current Gordon Rep side (note not club side) has 6 Joeys 16as players presently playing in it. They are no longer required to play club unless they need to qualify. The Rep sides are the best cross section of all NSW Schools players...

This is correct - undefeated in the comp rounds in 13s, 14s and 15s. And yes a loss to Scots in trials in 13s and to Kings last year in trials (21-22). I think it is a great decision to keep the Joeys 16As together with some new faces. Only a couple would threaten the seniors. It also works...

The ISA Under 16 list has been posted under the scholarship thread if interested. 6 from St Augustines (dalton, Nettleton, Elia, Lough (the younger), McRae, Hopoate) and 8 from Oakhill. 2 to be dropped. Big forwards; should be a great contest up front.

Upskilling? Is that a PC term for blatantly recruiting talented players and offering heavily discounted fees (aka a scholarship)?

Wrong thread but for what its worth. At least 6 key boys out doing Athletics in 16s. Reassess on 18 May! DG needs to reboot his attitude from what I have heard and do it for the team not himself. Hard lesson when you are 15/16 and have some talent. There are plenty of boys who will take your...

The Australian rugby 7s teams for the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival: MEN Ericson Aukafolau (NSW) Arthur Currie (NSW) Adrian Delore (NSW) Lolo Fakaosilea (QLD) Guy Hamilton (QLD) Andrew Kellaway (NSW) Jack McCalman (NSW) Tepai Meoroa (NSW) Patolo Toeta (VIC) Jack Tuttle (QLD) Bill...

Note that I said Competition games. They beat Kings last week in the Comp round hence that is why they are undefeated.

The Joeys 15As beat Shore 45-0 remaining undefeated in Comp footy for 3 years. Looking forward to season 2013 when the Scots and Newington scholarship feeding frenzy will at least make it more competitive in the 16As.

Joeys Firsts 29 to Kings 8
