Completely agree with this post. Think though that players such as JOC (James O'Connor) and to a lesser degree KB (Kurtley Beale) moving from the outside backs to chief play maker is a step to far and beyond their versatility. Think this is the major go to point for Deans for mine. JOC (James O'Connor) and KB (Kurtley Beale) are wonderfully talented players...

Getting mighty Cozzie in here, might just leave u two to it.

Mine was just a statement of what had occurred from one year to the next at Waverley. By no means is it the end of the world or a massive disaster but to not be looking to improve and compete better in the future would be unfair to the kids in the future. Playing First XV at school means alot to...

hahah chill out, bit of innocent speculating

The school lost there first grade coaches who had been very successful at the completition of the previous season, then knocked back applications from old boys and outsiders to help in favour of the sports master (underqualified) to coach the team himself.

completely agree and the point I was trying to make

understandable, why particulary on Waverley?

To invest in their program as cranbrook, Knox and Barker have done. This doesnt just have to come down to dollars from the school, a great intiative from Barker was to start the Barker Rugby Club that raises money for the kids coaching and development. I think a teacher of the school should...

not so, but understand your point.:)

Sorry can i not also be curious as to who the coach is as well? There is no need to be defensive, read my comments I have no issues what so ever with the setup at Cranbrook, knox etc and think it is good for the competition and game in Australia. Just outlying that some help from outside has...

yes who is the coach?

I'd like to see Hooper Capt and To'omua vice captain these are the two guys the wallabies should be building their world cup campaign and beyond around. Moore is of great benefit being an old head up front and a leader in his own right....... I dont really want to (but occasionally dont mind...

In recent weeks Ryans head has spent more time up out of the top of the scrum then in it. Kepu has to start. They have plenty to do the job round the field.

completely agree

your earlier post referenced mark as being an important part of the squad, now they are predominently coached by a teacher?

Dont get me wrong I applaud the work of Cranbrook investing in a program with the help of professional coaches and players to get the best out of the boys. Merely pointing out that "they are coached by a teacher and outside coaching hasnt helped" is a smoke screen to the reality. Knox quite...

I doubt Paddy Ryan will start a game for the rest of the season, scrum looked better with Kepu.

I would say that the teacher plays a management role over seeing paid coaches from outside. They are doing pretty well if they can get a guy like giachari down to ''coach lineouts'' at the expense of any high paying overseas gig that he could easily get

There are a lot of good players in that cranbrook side so take nothing away from them, but the suggestion that they are coached predominently/ soley by a school teacher is incorrect. They advertised for the position on seek and sportspeople (good luck to them and why not) and Giachari former...

What role has Mark Giachari? He was pretty prominent in the pre game stuff for cranbrook at the game I went to at queens park
