Here are the stats to support or discredit conspiracy theories: Of the 46 boys selected: GPS 23; CAS 9; CHS 8; ISA 5; CCC 1; AICES 0; Cntry 0. Of the 30 starting positions: GPS 18; CAS 4; CHS 4; ISA 4; CCC 0. Representation by School: Kings 7 (though none in NSW 1); Newington 5 (with 4...

Can anyone fill in the reults to date from the table on the Schools Rugby Tribune?: WARATAH SHIELD

My understanding is that Westfields Sports will play in a round robin against other Sports Highs, (Hills Sports, Endeavour, Matraville etc) with the winner and second place holder entering the Shield at the Quarter Final stage. Westfield Sports last won the Waratah Shield in 2005

Waverley were playing a touring St Edmunds Ipswich QLD team.

Are you sure they are doing yr 10? They were both enrolled in Yr 11 in 2011 at Randwick. A more likely scenario would be they are doing yr 12 over 2 years, commencing 2012.

Stickybeak, I am sure you have good grounds to believe that players in this year's Joeys team were hard done by in the GPS selections, but the arguments you have presented seem to contradict your assertion. If the Joey boys in question have both exceptional individual skills (that would...

I wish Joey Lussick the best of luck. Parramatta would not have signed him if he does not have genuine talent and potential to progress. However one thing struck me in Finland Fella's post. He suggested as a rugby league halback Joey was being played out of position as a rugby fly half in...

Love to hear news regarding the NSW selection trials and hearing of the talent being unearthed. Reading some of the other threads (GPS, CAS, ISA) it seems some are obsessed with results and consequent bragging rights for their association. They seem to treat these trials as an inter-assciation...

I looked at the draw for the NSW under 18 selection trials. Does any one know what is the overriding principle applied in determining which teams play which other teams? I tried to work out the implied logic from the draw as presented. If you assume that GPS 1 are the benchmark team, then...

Who has been chosen for the ISA teams for this year? Are team lists posted anywhere on the web? ISA got a few through to Australia and Australia A last year, so I am interested to see the names (including the u/16's).

Was in Sydney so I stopped in to see the game. Not sure that the rules are completely neutral (ie in my view slightly favouring union over league) but it was a good spectacle and at the very least would be a framework that would allow the Kangaroos and the Wallabies to be pitted against each...

Had a look at the draw on the NSW Schools website and it seems to me that Newington College and Knox Grammar School have the easiest draw to the semi finals. They do not have to face a Sports High in the Quarter finals as they face the finalists of the Waratah Cup (ie for schools without a...

Looked at Sanix rugby website and it looks like tournament is still going ahead,with 4 international teams rather than 8, following the withdrawal of the 2 Australian school teams (Scots and Auggies), the team from France and one school from N.Z. It leaves one school from N.Z., one from South...

Kings competed in the 1975 Waratah Shield (Peter Philpott was the coach or sportsmaster) and were eliminated by Birrong Boys High in an early round. Birrong were beaten by Stannies in the semi, who were in turn beaten by Randwick in the final.

The Phantom Puncher - Steve Finnane

Sorry for getting it wrong. Do you know much about Auggies - are they any good at mungo ball or rugby. I am a fan of Keebra Park who were unlucky against Hills last year in the Arrive Alive Cup.

I agree it is confusing and I haven't seen a game played under these 'rules', but attacking and defensive halves are determined relative to the team in possession of the ball. Thus a turnover of the ball sees an immediate change in the rules to apply.

You play with 13 (no flankers). When in possession of the ball in your own (defensive) half, rugby rules apply. When in possession of the ball in your attacking half, league rules apply.
