Geez this is an interesting development. With the exception of possibly high given its state high school status, if one gos school can stand up and claim it has never at any time offered a sports incentive scholarship, I would think this kind of action is highly hipocritical. Seriously poor...

I wouldnt waste my time with Volavola or Holmes. Holmes has proven he isnt up to scratch and is a cause for concern, so doesnt fit the bill of a replacement. Volavola isnt worth hanging on to, i just dont think he is up to the mark at this level, and will take up bench time as an outside back...

So i have been waiting for an announcement or the jedi like input from LG or HJ orsomeone of their ilk, however still not sure just how many spots left to fill at the Tahs next year. By my counts, we are very light on for centres, and very light on for hookers. Based on form, Roach has got to...

I had a mate informing me all damn day on Saturday how great it would be when all the gordon boys went back to gordon next year. After some further enquiry, it seems a big number of both the New and Scots boys played some junior rep rugby (if not all) with Gordon, and tey were quite the success...

HJ, following my scouting at the old boys function after the game last weekend, i dare say a lot of the Scots boys will be wearing the myrtle next year, with their coach also being the 1st grade coach at Randwick, and playing the same style of rugby which the boys seem to enjoy. I dare say most...

HJ worth noting that Kamp is in the Aus A side, and that A Kellaway captained all bar 1 of the matches (IIRC) at the state title, so not sure of who is the actual Captin of the NSW I side? Could make a fairly forimddable NSW side from that tea of the year!

Must apologise, only just re-read the wrap up and noticed 2/3rds of my honorable mentions were already noted in the report. Even better report LG, Jasdec, et al!

LG and co, a cracking review of the season. Cant argue one bit with ou XV of the year either, all deserving and some standout performers. From the games i watched (and i figure performances against the scots boys were the better ones), i think a couple of honourable mentions need to go out to...

Another one bites the dust http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/speedster-lachie-turner-defects-to-arch-rivals-the-queensland-reds-from-the-nsw-waratahs/story-fndpt9s1-1226709353619 Will be sad to see LT go, but he will get a much better shot at it up there, then behind the backline NSW...

Given this would be propped up by the ARU to some degree, the teams AUS wide assuming there are 10 ARC sides could have a max of 15 players contracted to a super club. Assuming a good chunk would be missing for the season playing s15 and on wallaby duties, sides would need to consider carefully...

With The pulvernators announcement his is all for a second teir comp, possibly the revival of the ill fated ARC, under a slightly different structure, lets have a shot at piecing together 4 sydney based teams on the assumption: - 4 teams to cover the sydney regions, with current SS teams being...

With the main squad taking shape, and only a handful of spots left open for Cheika to fill, is it worth turning some attention to the likely Tah's B side which by the sounds of things is going to feature regularly this season. I have heard some whispers from a fairly reliable source that the...

Scots 29- View 15. View came out of the blocks with purpose and intent, Scots came out of bed! Simply put view wanted it more for the first 20 minutes and they were up 15 nil before ayone had blinked, thanks to some great work from the view 14, and then on the other side the view 11 crossed...

HJ you hit the nail on the head identifying Horwitz & Stewrat as potential Tahs players. The bigger reason to sign these two is the distinct lack of centres in the squad. At this stage Horne and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) appear to be it, and i would count on any of the otuside backs shifting in, id rather develop...

Just wanted to say, as I think the boys playing in this years 1st XV comp deserve a massive pat on the back, that the quality of the games this year has been outstanding. Ifor one know where I can get a quality game of expansive exciting rugby and am a huge fan of the style and quali of play...

I said this in the match thread, that the selection of mostly brumbies players who 3 weeks ago tried to win the Super Rugby combo with a slow northern hemisphere % rugby, yet the game plan is all of a sudden to have a wide expansive running game was always going to lead to trouble. JOC (James O'Connor) and Quade and the...

Br, not sure i agree with this. While Joeys won a number of games against Scots, plenty of them were extremely close. Go back to my era, and one win in the day was a great result, and most losses were heavy. Scots have come a seriously long way under their current coaching system. Keep in mind...

I love optimism and am holding out hope for a miracle, but i find it odd that McKenzie has picked a team largely of Brumbies players who 3 weeks ago tried to win a Super Rugby title paying % rugby and not throwing the ball around, yet his instruction is to get them chucking it round alot tonight. PS our...

Hawko, couldn't agree more with this. Volavola is an oustide back, and isn't in the top handful. I honestly don't see him being much use other then injury cover around the back. Foley & Beale have 10 covered nicely, with foley the better choice given he runs the ball at the line, something...

On a slight tangent, did anyone see Dempsey and Horwitz play for the Tahs side in Argentina on the weekend. From the highlights package i got my mits on, Horwitz looked the goods!! And Dempsey held his own for a young bloke against some monsters. Great to see young school boys making the leap.
