Saw on the players social channels he is over in Japan with them and surely an expensive exercise if he is in fact not playing? Maybe (and likely) he is just continuing on with his rehab overseas.

I get you're likely his father or brother and you're supporting him and I respect that. You previously said he played every game onwards, yet he didn't, and you just said as much, 1st incorrect statement. It appears he did not start getting picked until round 12 (so quite a while and already...

The point I was trying to make Relene (well aware it's a 19s rep comp and was selected from a quality 20s comp for colts). You have one player who made arguably the best forward pack (Rats) of the colt's competition (which is where this 19s squad got picked from), lead the competition in tries...

NZ v Springboks GF Anyone think differently? Alternatively, I think it will be an Ireland v Springboks GF (I hope so)

Is Ben O'Donnell back from his injury?

Lots of people bring up Le Maitre in this forum. How does he compare to Durbridge, the Kings out and out openside that got selected over him at every level (GPS, GEN BLUE and AUS) and who is a terrific on baller. I have seen Durbridge play a few times but not Le Maitre so would love to be more...

Using Rugby Parents example of using Warringah (the winners and I think most people would agree the best team in the 20s competition). They got 3 U19s players selected, 2 players are starting (Saunders and Langfield) and the other (Kaia Gate) has not been sighted. If he played for UNI or Easts...

This just is not factually correct, so don't bring your fables here please. Easts vs Souths end of the season back row was #6 Gavin, #7 Di Staso and #8 MacPherson. second colts = Nicole #6 Dalyrumple was injured for most of the season as well from memory (as was MacPherson). I rate Nicolle he...

Uni 2nd grade colts have 4 people starting in the NSW U19s team, 4! You can't make this stuff up. It's not like they were an amazing 2nd grade colts' team either. They scraped into the finals into 6th position and got bounced first week in the finals by a fairly average Warringah 2's side on...

Tancred was on the bench for Uni's two most important games of the year, the semifinal against Eastwood, he got 5 token minutes. In the Grand Final against Warringah he (along with every other sub on Uni's bench) did not get on. I don't know how you can go around saying he 'was in the...

Nicolle is a good player, but he still played half the season in 2nd grade colts (played the finals in Easts 2nds colts as well). If the two coaches are fair dinkum, Dan Parkes (Uni colts coach) and Dan England (Easts colts coach) then why didn't they select these players in their respective...

3. Bell 2. Valetini 1. Tate

Di Staso in the back row (preferably at 7) is a must, played a couple of games in first grade for Easts this year and more than held his own. Did more in his limited minutes than the starter did all game. Along with Finau would be the best pilferer the Tahs have available for selection. Does...

I think it's just a case of getting the best players on the field, irrespective of position.

Some 'questionable' selections and perhaps favoritism from the Syd Uni & NSW coach towards his own in that pack.

I posted this in the 2023 colts thread but here is my 2023 colts team of the season and some names to keep an eye out for in the Shute Shield next season and beyond. Some already got a taste of first grade this year, some serious talent below. Colts 2023 Team of the season 1. Sione Fotuaika –...

The majority are too old. Kai Vincent made NSW along with Finau, Burden and Gate.

Team of the season Tried my luck at a team of the season from Colts. I watched a lot of games this year. Keep an eye out for these players over the next two years in the Shute Shield. Some of them already got a taste of first grade this season. 1. Sione Fotuaika – Warringah Brother of Titans...
