Ive been using it for a while now and it definitely isnt intuitive. Future events come up roughly on the day they occur at the top of your feed. This works better when you nominate your favourite sports and teams, as you will get more relevant content come up. It would be nice if you could...

I think you are right although it isnt an academy team. RugbyWA held trials last month to select this team and invited schools and club players from which their current team is picked. Rugby WA have aligned themselves with the national "Schools and u18's" program which receives funding from...

I certainly didn't take your post as disrespectful (and I hope mine didnt seem too defensive). My response stems from the amount of times I have been asked by parents from other schools whether Shore rows all year round as if it is an accepted fact. My older boy rows for the school and wanted...

There are many reasons for the ongoing lack of success by Shore at rugby but AFL and rowing have little to do with it. 1. AFL has shrunk from 4 teams to 3 this year with a number of senior boys returning to rugby. 2. There is no such thing as full time rowing. There are plenty of boys from the...

Can anyone source a NSW team list? I have tried but cannot find. I have been told by a WA players dad it will be live streamed by Rugby WA. I will post the link when I get it.

Yep thats the guy. He has coached my son three times over the last 10 years in various teams (including reps). Not sure that he coaches anywhere outside of Cavaliers now as he had a falling out with Gordon for reasons I don't know.

No, it's not attached to any organisation. It is privately owned and run. They have historically been a touring group which makes their presence in this competition confusing. The owner is an outstanding coach and has a really good network of talent scouts. I would expect this team to be...

Cavaliers (Barbarians) is a privately run academy. The Cavaliers team is invitational, with the manager identifying talented kids and giving them touring and playing opportunities. It does seem a bit odd that they are competing in this competition however I know quite a few of the kids...

We were just talking about the Joeys surface over dinner. My son has played there two weeks in a row and complained about it being really slippery. He wears plastic moulded boots. Do the Joeys boys wear long sprigs?

It would be nice to see them sign a couple of locks and a damaging #8/#6 to complement Wells and Swinton. TBH that was my comment before this season commenced and the Sharks game really showed that they were lacking size and muscle from #4 - #8. Its also a shame they didn't get Nick Frost when...

It's pretty s**t banter.

When he was at the 'Tahs he sat behind Vickermann, Timani, Douglas and Mumm at various times. That was his impetus for leaving. I spoke to him two weeks ago - he would say his career is going just fine. He is being paid to play rugby :)

From the Junior World Cup website: Lachlan Lonergan (Australia) Australia hooker Lachlan Lonergan will appear at a hearing before an independent World Rugby Disciplinary Committee chaired by Roger Morris (Wales) along with Leon Lloyd (former England player) and Ofisa Tonu’u (former Samoa and...

Joeys arent short on Number 10 talent this year. I had the pleasure of watching their thirds team on Saturday and the young man they have at 10 in that team is a terrific player. Shore was dominating the game and up 10-0 after 25 mins before the Joeys 10 got some ball and set up a series of...

Good question. Unlikely it would impact the FWC hearing unless there was some action by Israel that constituted acceptance.

Thats right, incitement of violence against a well defined set of minority groups (including homosexuals) is expressly illegal under the Crimes Act in NSW which was ammended to capture broad groups of minorities by bipartisan agreement in 2018. Just as homosexual vilification is expressly...

My reading of the Representative Pathway map is that there are two distinct pathways to the Gen Blue squad: 1. Club (Colts/SJRU/Country etc) AND/OR; 2. Schools (GPS/CAS/CHS etc) So yes, the Gen Blue squad is the one from which the U18's National and schools team is picked. There is also a...

Ive seen both teams play once. The only real gem that stood out for me was Malachi Hawkes for Trinity who was incredible in the draw against Shore 1sts. He scrummaged strongly and ran the ball well right to the final whistle. I dont think Miller played that day though and I have seen him put...

That’s a stellar backline. I’d back Albert in for #9 - big and physical with a good running game. The only challenge I would have is at #10 where I really like Gibbs but you could push Gibbs to 12 and have any one of Sua'ali'i/Koula/Weekes on the bench as they can all play 11-15. But it would be...

If he had of been convicted of Cocaine posession in 2018 he would not have been able to enter Japan under any circumstance. However he avoided the conviction so theoretically he could go there. The issue will be that Japanese clubs take a very dim view of criminal misdemeanors in general and...
