Five CAS games and numerous trials, and each time the summaries of the Barker games have been the same - "Barker backline dominates", and numerous other phrases highlighting the skill, power and ability of not one, not two, but generally all the Barker backline (including 15). The selectors have...

Question - If a team doesn't want to have contested scrums (and the other team does) should they forfeit the feed (i.e. - the other team gets the feed) ??

41 - 22 at Trinity Sounds comprehensive, can't wait for the game summaries to start arriving - especially with the CAS team picked today. Barker remain undefeated and deserve to be head of the table. This result makes it very difficult for Waverley or anyone else to win the comp. Only thing that...

Just heard that Knox beat Cranbrook (no score available).

Normally we have received a post or two from the Trinity supporters by now. I ask with no prior knowledge - what was the score against Barker ??

Pius 1st XV with the bye this week, so the match of the day at Oxford Falls saw the Pius 2nd XV versus Blue Mountains Grammar 1st XV. Not sure of the end score as the score board wasn't operating throughout the day (point to Pius - parents aren't only interested in the 1st XV, so keep the...

People will coach anywhere for the right money (or possibly in this case - obscene amounts of money)

St Pius 1st XV have the bye this week, but several players from the 1sts will be having a run in the Pius 2nd XV against Blue Mountains Grammar 1st XV at Oxford falls on Saturday.

Obviously a Two Blues fan, and no I haven't seen Christini under the posts. I really doesn't matter, because "each to their own way of coaching". Whatever works. I just haven't seen the elite coaches under the posts, and if they were am sure they would have "eyes" on the sideline.

I know full well where they play (down a division or two). While it may appear nasty, the point was not to slander a specific team (and I'm sorry to do so at Grammar's expense), but to make a point about the wide spreads in scores. The majority of the teams play for enjoyment and it is great to...

If you are correct - One last question. Where do Warringah play their Shute Shield games on Saturday if Auggies are playing at there (or do Warringah and Auggies coordinate their matches??). I find that hard to believe. I think that NSI is still used.

Or why do the CAS teams have to enter the competition at all. Other than Knox, and possibly Trinity, who enters. Who cares?? (from a CAS perspective) ?? CAS schools only remember who wins the CAS.

Which is what I believed they still did - play at Narrabeen Sports Institute, So again, sorry if I invoked an unnecessary thread of discussion.

Wow. Attitude. This is a discussion, not a slight on a team or school's objective. What I have said here is that it would be good for players, support staff, schools, parents and spectators alike that play, coach or watch, to have competitive games. First and foremost it is the players that must...

Apologise. Didn't know that Auggies home games were played at Rat Park. So there may be method in the madness after all. Although the traditionalist in me says that the sideline is the place. Just haven't seen enough "quality" coaches doing it from the posts.

We are in a school boy forum, and you're suggesting Rat Park. Unfortunately that are very few options for coaches to sit or stand behind the posts. Never seen it done in Wallaby matches, never seen it done at Super matches, never seen it done at Shute Shield, never seen it done at Sub District...

Last in their competitive group. Are they competitive ?? let's hope so because I would like to see all schools competing in competitive groups (it doesn't matter whether they are GPS, CAS, ISA, CCA.....) As I mentioned, it may take 405 years to determine the right sorting but teams shouldn't...

I watched Grammar play Pius. I would rather have watched synchronized swimming. So if Grammar don't finish last then that team below them must be horrific. That said, hats off and congratulations to every player (on both sides but particularly Grammar) for turning up, playing until the final...

I can't argue as I'm not a coach, but while you might see running lines, holes, etc, they are more oriented to the backline. The forwards are a different story completely. You can't see who is "putting-in". You can't see whether the piggies are getting over the advantage line. You can't see...

A question to everyone about coaches. :confused: Where do your coaches position themselves to watch their teams play ?? Are they on the sideline close to play and reserves ?? Are they in the grandstand along the sideline with a better view ?? Are they at the end of the field (under the goal...
