    The 'that' before "they" is superfluous. One of the most overused words.

    Shute Shield 2013

    Penrith played in Kentwell Cup and were promoted despite finishing around 4th place. IIRC Drummoyne pretty much folded for a year when a proposed merger with Hunters Hill failed to be sustained, despite a number of Drummoyne players joining what was a super hot HH Kentwell Cup team in 1995 (my...

    http://www.sydneyunirugby.com.au/_blog/Club_News/post/Folau_aligns_with_Sydney_University_Football_Club/ Being a Uni supporter I struggle with this - the guy has no association with the institution (other than the proposed scholarship but happy to be corrected) and it just pisses all the other...

    I would imagine a large chunk of the accommodation scholarships is coming from the colleges (Wayne has been very generous in the last couple of years) - and this is worth roughly $20k pa per student. I would be interested if the University was subsidizing anything - they give an ATAR pickup for...

    P, just get the GPS heads to change their charter and bring it on - the sleeping giant will prevail!

    I saw him play at that time. He was anything but a skinny kid in the U13s - was a very tall and dominant player - had 1sts written all over him.

    Which clubs are the Class of 2012 going to?

    Brother went to Drews and Angus would be high on Wayne's list for a full scholarship now that Stirzaker has left.

    The Penrith dilemma is an interesting one. On the one hand you could dismiss the club as being dependent on out of area players, but on the other hand you have a club in heartland Sydney that could be critical to the long term growth of rugby. I look at some clubs that have come from the abyss...

    Agree - now if only Newington would publish ATARs for the collective "All-rounders" in year 12, as I would assume an all-rounder is also bright. No names, just something along the lines of - we had 20/30/40 allrounders and 2 achieved over 90.

    QH, a mate of mine is a long term member of one of the offending school's council (and is an OB). He has been actively agitating for over 10 years now for his school to be where it is today with so many gifted and talented sportsmen across a range of sports - the councils are up to their necks...

    Mate, love your passion - keep it going. A couple of thoughts - we had a 3 division 10 team system in the early 80's - not sure we need to go back to divisions. Also wonder about the ARU supporting a club like Penrith that seems to have a number of Kiwi expats - prefer to see them pumping...

    The Totality of Tony McGahan's contribution to Wallabies' rugby - a report on the first year

    Bruce, brings to mind Albert Einstein's thoughts on the matter: "We all know that light travels faster than sound. That's why certain people appear bright until you hear them speak."

    Shute Shield 2012

    Excellent season last year with the Premiers Eastwood. Played with aplomb in the grand final against a team that had Tom Carter and Tom Kingston opposite him in the centres.
