You guys need a sit down.

Lee can you possibly add a team list . I was thinking of taking the kid's next Friday so I'd be interested to know whether it is a bunch of development players from Apia or a few ex pro's. I understand that most Samoans ply their trade in the Northern Hemisphere. Same goes for the Tongans who...

Firstly, thank you Bruce for helping to clarify my point. More often than not there is a stereotypical judgement associated with Polynesian players. As one of my esteemed colleagues correctly pointed out, there are several Wallabies and S15 players that didn't descend from the First Fleet. I'm...

Jeremy Su'a first represented CHS as a YR 9 student. He has since played schoolboys, 20s and now Samoa. It is a disgrace that people like himself and possibly his fellow 2Blues colts colleague Stevie Mafi have had to go O/S whilst the white establishment has continued to prosper.

Too many posts are made with no actual facts to support them. One that is correct is that Matt Hopper the blond 2nd grader from Manly a couple of seasons ago has been selected in the Saxons squad. I only put this post in this thread because for some reason it has become the all encompassing SS...

Awesome. Well 90% of it. I still dont get the reasoning of someone like Dylan Sigg or the other EPS guy's playing in a weaker standard of competition. Next logistically the Brumbies need to have access to their players, therefore running off to Sydney is not the best for the squad. The EPS...

The Sydney Uni squads that have been sent up for those games are usually 3rd stringers at best. Reminds me of the Challenge Cup in league where a Manly team minus their coach and a handful of players will compete against the UK Super League champ. Using that game as some sort of a yardstick is...

Manly have known for quite some time that the Brumbies decision was a reality. Hopefully the often injured players such as BJ and Pete Gilmore can play a few more games. This also applies to Katoni Ale who is coming off a knee reco.

Keithy, I was under the impression that Jono Owen played his colts at Uni, then had stints in NZ and Randwick before he went to Manly. Manly being his jnr club.

touche. yes, but how many?

In his first couple of games he played in the backs in 2nds. He came to the club in 2007 feom Easts due to advise from his uncle Bede. Secondly yes I do love the Simpsons and whenever I read one of your posts I wonder whether you are having a Cobra's moment. Same goes for the rest of the people...

Why are Canberra supporters so insecure? Your schoolboy comp was destroyed by the Eddies regime, which according to this forum was led by, the most incompetent and hated coach in schoolboy history ( doesn't matter that he is probably the best). This insecurity is further manifested in your...

Opposite problem occurs when you wear a Pennywise shirt to a Pennywise concert. Or any other band for that matter that hasn't totally sold out.

The majority of S15 players have come through NSW, and especially their development programs which obviously include the Shute Shield. I would have thought that this nursery would be protected for all of the S15 teams benefit.

C'est la vie.

UJ? CFS? pardon my ignorance but I didn't think we went to initials before any noticeable achievement. MJ = Legend. That's why he can be talked about this way. Finally who is UJ?

For mine league is so much better at the u/5,6,7,8,9,10,11 level. All core skills are developed. My son who has played league for 3 years and will be in the u/9's this year is co-coached by an ex Marlin and an ex Woodies first grader. 2 men who are rugby through and through but have also...

Phipps, Phibbs they all look the same.

Cipriani at 14? And Lloyd at 12? Interesting.

As most on this forum would know I have championed Penriths existence. If the current position is true it is not very good. I was once again down at Manly during the previous winter and they gave up. I dont quite understand how your first grade team wins at Coogee and your second grade team...
