Agreed - Martin spoilt my game of choice this weekend - again... I note that his method is to often wait for one of the others to say something, and then Repeat it (straight after) in a loud, shouting voice, sounding like an agrieved Punter from some Oxford Street Hostelry.... He has a...

I have read that back now several times.. and am now attempting to 'sound' it out slowly, as I mouth the words. Am I to understand that you think Belmore is not competitve due to its ethnic makeup? - and do you feel this is a widespread problem? and what actually is a "resistance to a vertical...

Rugby has to look after him, not discard him. However - he also has to decide once and for all whether he is going to switch to Mungoe - if he is, now is the time, and it would be unprofessional of him to waste the Tahs time if he is only going to switch in the next year or two... I agree...

Steve Rogers. Best Union Player to have never played the game (and he hated the Code from all reports). Lockyer would most likely have succeeded. If the Rebels been able to snag Billy Slater at the time of the Storm Scandal, I believe he would have been playing Fullback for the...

You are correct, like the 'TCS' teams before it - the 'CCC' teams to which you refer (and which came about in the wake of the TCS closure) were never really given any recognition, and their games against CAS & GPS sides (I cannot comment on CHS) were regarded as minor fixtures - and rarely...

Hugh... two things; 1. To what do you attribute our continued under-performance (and at times trouncing) at the Jnr RWC? I used to put it down to the Pacific Island Boys in the JNR ABs just being too big for or lads at that age - but in recent years, the number of locally-raised PI players has...

Apologies for digression - but I have wondered about this for a LONG Time... Why is it that so very, very few Cricketers come out of the Private Schools systems in Queensland and NSW (in particular) generally these competitions take cricket very seriously - and generally, they have above-average...

I really do not want to debate who may have won in any particular year - My intention was simply to point out there are a number of schools who have attempted for decades to get a decent level of competion across a range of sports, and continue to be denied on the basis of lamentable motive...

10.45 a.m... gotta love that after a Friday Night Out.

did he not retire? - why do you ask?

Thats a fair point regarding the Teachers - I am a Union Man - but geez they can screw things up at times... Still, even if Sports High Schools are not the solution, the competition looks like it needs a certain concentration of talent... I not the point made earlier regarding the ISA...

Bob Dwyer....cannot see that name without the numbers 96-19 flashing before my eyes. I still maintain that Jones' record against the AIGs is only better than Deans, on account of Jones had an even higher quality resources to waste.

This is actually quite simple - but no-one seems game to take the stepS: 1. Make a Try Worth 6 pts and a Penalty Goal can remain at 3 - or even reduce to 2... 2. Make Field Goals worth 1 pt. 3. Simply make it against the Laws to kick when between the two 22-metre lines. You can kick in your...

"And just quietly, as a former TCS rep, I take exception to the "forgettable" reference to that comp. St Augustines, St Pats, Chev, Oakhill, St Leos Waitara and of course, St Pius enjoyed fairly competitive comps in most grades and I have fond memories of games against all of them. Chev (my old...

I shan't get into a slanging match, its 30 years ago - all I can say, is that my involvement in the matter ended in 1981, and I am fairly sure that the outcome was known before my departure. It may have been 1983, but if so, I don't recall how I could then have had the discussion with the CAS...

Hmmm... it looks to me like the 'cusp' of something - just asking to have the 3 or 4 big Sports High Schools Brought in, to make it a really intensive set of fixtures... (e.g. Westfields, Hills or say, Matraville... Of course, a couple would have to drop 'down' in that case... Any worthwhile...

Nothing in there one can really argue with - in fact it looks like a top-class front 8... I am not a huge fan of Slipper - but in the absence of any outstanding alternatives... What IS Your read on the backline?

QUESTION: How did this competition come into being? It looks to the outsider to be extremely uneven, and with no intrinsic characteristics or biases linking the schools. St. Pius and St Andrews stike me as being the odd ones out here - (I have no knowledge of the Rugby Programme at St...

Nice Result.. I would be interested if you could list the 1st XV Team, at the end ofthe Trials?... for the benefit of those of us living away, why would crowd behaviour be an issue?

This is an old thread, but for the record; St Patrick's was a 'guest' in the CAS for several seasons, following the demise of the rather forgettable TCS competition. During that time as a 'guest', they frequently either won the 1st XV competition - or drew in first place... If my memory is...
