Last week we won against 16. Today we lose because the Wallabies are a disgrace and the Lions have stood up and played like men

The only political thing I saw in this was the number of QLD kids selected, but even though they only played for 3rd and 4th some of the games were pretty close, esp the NSW Is and QLD IIs so maybe there really is not a problem here. Seems to me people are upset because their little Johnny or...

good write up George. I agree with you that it didn't get to the heights it should have. I did think the IIs centres did an OK job on the Is centres considering their defense even though it worked most of the time was very soft. They also need to get a physical presence as well, something they...

the biggest option is the same for those picked today. That is plan a future that doesn't include professional sport, because nothing guarranteed.

but still less than 1/10th of 1 percent that play the game as kids go on to play professionally. On that stat alone surely we focus too much on the "top" end

and that's the way it should have stayed ... :) sorry could not resist some more poor humour

You have it all wrong HJ, La Jarse is a fine breed, cultured and with the patience of one of the more refined breeds.

There in lies a truth not often told. I do love RU, but my kids schooling is much more important. They are at a GPS school but not for the Rugby, but because its a quality place for education and turning out good young men.

Speculating on contracts in RL is walking on rocky ground. There are often figures quoted and thrown out there, most of which are completely wrong no matter where they are published or quoted from. There are sponsorship deals and every (I mean every) club has outside payments to players in...

I think he means Nudgee College I originally thought SCots and NEw and wondering what he meant, then realised it was QLD schools

HH is a good player but the blinkered love of him is ridiculous. He played well in last years U16 championships but not outstanding. He has played well in the GPS this year but got owned terribly against new. He still has a bit to grow physically and as a player, but when he reaches his...

This is the wallabies I am used to, absolute rubbish. We haven't had a #10 since Larkham. JOC (James O'Connor) is just terrible as are many of the players. The biggest thing that must be done is AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) must be banished from any form of RU, he is a disgrace. The man can not pass at all

I may have the wrong Australian hateing rerferee from RSA (but it appears not). But why do we keep getting the Australian hating Joubert referee Wallaby (and Aus Super15) games

Geez if the rose coloured glasses aren't on there .... Hutchinson did very well against the New centres for someone turning 16 this year, but still got well outclassed, struggled when Tepai and Taane got out of first gear. He played well in the Australian U16s championships last year, but hardly...

I know New won, I think something like 36-12 but I am most likely wrong with that.

Was it at Knox ?

Newington 50-3 over Kings. Simply outclassed. Excuse the "newington view" but the New first XV are not even close to their potential. Their forwards were decent today and while the backs looked far from sharp they captialised on every opportunity and created a lot from nothing. When New get it...

HJ def Stewart deserved his spot , and Taane was younger as well

I have seen alot of Milne over the years, both in RL and RU and he is a centre. His can finish very well but its his creation of opportunities that is one of his biggest assets. I would be surprised if there any centres close to Tepai or Taane in the GPS competition. I know everyone loves their...

This is so evident right through all the teams. Its quite ridiculous the lack of preparation Newington have had this year. Thats all good Mr that Guy, Maybe this year will be good for him, and think he did a good job for an U16, for me he isn't there yet. Against lesser centres he may well kill it
