rawsteak, good news regarding Ben Hunt I gotta say I agree with you regarding HH, he tried his guts out. But I think he should do another year in his age group as he was outclassed

I saw the NEw boy go off on the stretcher in the thirds, but I heard he is OK

The New v Riverview seconds was not a bad game at all. The RV fullback was very good. He scored a great try with only a few mins to go to make it 15-12. The kicker then took the ball back at least to the 22, to kick the conversion (right in front). He then missed. New squared the scores up at...

Sorry if it came over that way, but I def agree with you. I for one prefer that the GPS, CAS and other competitions stay, but there needs to be more. I am also a big advocate of Rugby being about more than just the elite players. There needs to be a continuous pathway (I hate that word) for...

I am not sure it devalues the GPS jersey, I think it devalues the games between GSP and CHS. I do agree that it causes a drain on the CHS talent pool, but maybe not to the extent you do. I think there are other factors in play including resourcing and the focus on RL though the public system...

The biggest problem with scholarships I have is that my kids didn't get one ... :) I agree with what you are saying but would to also add that when defending ones associated school, people often have more info on the kid that maybe be pertinent and on the other side a lot of people think, oh...

While I agree with a CAS champion V GPS Champion game at the end of the season. I can't see a reason why joining the comps is a good idea. It would dilute the level of the competition. I have been involved in CAS schools and GPS schools and sorry if some people can't cope with the truth but the...

No room for Brown or Rudolf ?

Be astounded as much as you want. I am a product of the public school system so no private school blinkers. I am merely saying that I personally know of more than a couple of boys that due to scholarships to private schools are getting a better environment than the one that they were in. Even...

Me Voyeur, thats a pretty simplistic view. If they don't attend that school then what do they have ? Likely not much. I know of more than a few kids that have had/will have a much better grounding and enrty into the adult world because of the few years spent at a school like Newington. The...

Out of the 15 listed in the "scholarship" post there are some things that may not be correct. Vuni and Sione are "tongan" scholarships which while obviously they can play football its a bit more than that. At least 2 others are not on Scholarships and 3 or 4 are on 1/2 or 1/3 scholarships.

I think the difference is most schools will play U16s in the opens if they play firsts, else they go back to the U16s and rarely would a bunch from the previous years U15Bs get called into the opens, but this is what New are doing. Maybe its because last years 16As were not very strong (esp...

I heard Waverley got up 29-10 in the firsts, but that was third hand

The 1st and prob 2nds will do well, but I do fear that the 3rds as it stands will struggle given the U16s they have brought up. This was evident as the opens boys that played in the 3rds against Oakhill carved up the rest of the opens in the trials held today between the non 1st 2nd and 3rd...

new to this place, and have done some searching but can't find it, can someone post the Waverley First XV please

Thats not necessarily true. I have experience with both (not as a player) and let me tell you the U20s RL competition is an absolute joke full of big athletic kids that can't play football and don't make it any further. From what I hear there is some discussion regarding getting rid of it and...

There are some in the IIs, including Kambas and Ball. The unimpressive thing is some of last years u16s performed very well in IIIS trial against Oakhill yet have been punted in favour of some of last years U15s who def struggled against Oakhills U16s. Quite bizzarre really
