Newington (without athletes) are playing Grammar at Weigall on Saturday. First time playing Grammar for most of the boys as TAS play in the Newington slot for 3rds, 5ths and corresponding age group matches. Unfortunately no spectators still. I understand that Joeys will be playing St...

tips (and hoping for a better week :)) Eastwood Manly Uni Souths Warringah Randwick

A NSW Country side is like an old heritage listed house, everyone thinks it's wonderful and should be preserved but nobody wants to buy it. :)

Reality will convert them all in the end.

Kiwis know their rugby.:)

They tend to save their best games for when they play Eastwood and they will also be another couple of occasions when it will all click and they'll beat one of the top teams. Otherwise it will be largely what we saw today.

A couple of low scoring games in there. Manly v Uni was 7-6 at half time and a 3-0 second half. Rats v Randwick another tough low scoring affair.

I thought that Wests would be better. Their big forwards are too slow/unfit to be effective. When the ball goes to the backs they tend to shuffle it across the field with nobody trying to break the line. Easts were ok in patches and at least the were all fit and fast. Tactically they also...

Do we we need a separate bureaucracy to run an annual 4 team tournament?

We've been told that he doesn't have one and his parents are looking after him.

SANZAAR should be wound up ASAP.

There's nothing wrong with having a fund to use to develop young players and to keep them in rugby. In fact there's everything right about it. It's the conduct of the process in the full glare of the 24 hour news cycle which is a problem. But we're now into the 5th or 6th day of multiple...

No connection with the Macarthur region since my great great grandfather who lived there way back in the 1850s.:)

So do I, but he's a persistent character is seems. In a statement on Monday afternoon, SANZAAR moved to address what it described as "misleading information" about the tournament format going forward and said that all four SANZAAR nations were committed to be part of the organisation for the...

Yes I realise that and I've mentioned that on a number of occasions, including in post #17288 (3 posts after the one you have quoted). I didn't think it was necessary to put that in every post on the topic as I thought we all realised that the planning was for 2021. Marinos has in fact made the...

It was shaky at the time. It just looks plain stupid now.

That's the problem I have with the whole thing. A couple of weeks back people were criticising Souths RL for signing such a young kid to a big money deal - which I agree with. And yet now we have many of the same people cheering at the thought of rugby signing him for maybe even more money...

Indeed. I was looking for the Shore pie and when I couldn't see one I assumed you were washing it down with the beer. Anyway, this year marks the 150th anniversary of the 1st ever game of schoolboy rugby in Australia between Newington and Kings. It's set down for Stanmore on the 12 September...

Beyond 2021

Hi B&W, I haven't any specific details on how the teams are travelling, but it wouldn't surprise me if the backs were the strongest part of the 1sts. Having said that there are some good forwards moving up from last years 16As. Not sure on the number of teams either as there haven't been...
