Gotta get experience sometime & there's only so much one can learn on the training paddock and in the gym.

Where is all the money coming from for all these extra skills coaches? We are not England 2003 who can afford to have 52 coaches in their entourage including Colours Consultant, Zodiac Reader, Post Try Celebration Coach, iTunes Playlist Selection Advisor, et al.

Usually Combined States has roughly equal numbers from NSW & QLD. This year has a predominance of NSW players. This has to be a sign that the Final will be NSW I v NSW II because of the awesome depth of top notch footy players here. :) #JusticeForGettingFloggedInU20s.

How many players are legitimately on the "dual pathway" this year, playing Junior Club Rugby and are representing their School Association U16 team? With the demise of the National U16 Tournament, I am lead to believe that fewer players are playing the 4 club games needed to qualify for their...

^^^Oh Fudge. That is right. The Hobbits round 15 score hasn't been added up yet on the web site. If they get 5 points for a BP win,then that will have them on 56 points now, and therefore most likely finish in 2nd place on 66 points. One thing is for certain. The Minor Premiership race, and...

^^^ Pirates haven't been in the finals race since round 5. Wix have got to face the Woodies, Hobbits, and Rats in their final 3 fixtures, all of whom could surprise on any day. The Wix will qualify easily for top 6, but this year in particular, anything can and will happen in knockout footy...

Finals Crystal Ball After round 15 the finals race should be clear, however not too many would have predicted the shape of the Shute Shield Ladder at this stage of the season before Round 1. While 52 Competition points seems to be the traditional requirement to make the final 6, given the...

Team selections reflect the opinions of one group of blokes. To the best of my knowledge the selectors for Combined States are different from the NSW Schools RU selectors. They will choose who they think warrant selection. Possibly from Shadow Squads, possibly from left field a bloke who...

^^^ Was it mentioned what can we beat them at?

^^ The fat blokes doing their job is no good if the Giraffes and Gazelles are also not doing their job at scrum time. Our Gazelles (6, 7, 8) were worthless at scrum time, and at the tackle contest, and I can not recall any good carries from them either. We were out coached. Craig may not...

Was that the turning point of the game, or did NZL suddenly decide to play from then onward? Great that we bitchslapped the NZL scrum time and again, but what actual advantage did we get from that? One sole penalty try, and possibly 15 points from 5 easy penalty kicks left unclaimed. The...

Unbelievable that the coach will put on a prop at hooker to continue scrum dominance over NZL when our back row doesn't know how to control the ball resulting from that scrum dominance. Have we reached the Jumping the Shark moment with Coach Thommo?

^^^ Usually Monday. From past history, some NSW and QLD shadow players do get selected for CS. NSW or QLD players selected 16-23 are off limits for CS.

We were out coached. Why fly Ed Craig all the way to the other side of the World to give him 90 seconds of play? WTF does Coach Thommo bring on another prop at the 60 minute mark to replace the Hooker? A prop who's line out throwing skills and mobility match mine? What sort of line out...

Ignore what happened in Camperdown. How about them M2B? Who are the existing Premiers? 2016 = The Year of the West

2016 Gregor George Cup (Club Championship) Watch: (after Round 15) There are a maximum of 215 points available to a club each week, based on all 7 club teams winning with a 4 try BP and the target to win is >3000 points which was achieved by 3 clubs in 2014 and the 2015 winner was on 2905...
