less likely now le-ninja has been and gone and weather watchers tell us the boy child seams to be on his way, but a couple of washed out matches down at the beaches and a trip to Bathurst, anything could happen

Oaks won in 2012 after beating Augies on fete day I think 2010 may have been similar, this is about winning the ISA comp, not necessarily beating the Brookvale team. the outcome of this comp could be determined more by the Pittwater Council ground staff and Hughie than the vagueries of football...

Sounds fair as the big games for Oaks would be at home this year, it would follow the pattern of the past few years

How does this differ from someone being asked to repeat year 10 at a new school as a student swaps under scholarship arrangements. A u/16 player/student that would be going into year 11 is asked to join a new year 10 cohort I know of this occurring in several cases and at several schools as...

Well done all the teams that have competed I hope all participants will continue to be the good disciples of heavens game they have been invited to be. Thank You Delphy for you complete and accurate posts. Not only telling us the scores but telling us which team got them is helpful for those of...

How did Waverley go

consensus may suggest it's no ones business but their own. as for the difference in quality of colts and school boys, maybe at 1st grade v 1st XV there would be, how did the trial between Manly colts and Scots go last year, for any forwards and in particular front rowers there is (not...

do these three clubs not have senior or opens teams including Colts and several grades, unless there is internal conflict at these clubs I would expect the retention of players through this wilderness period should be a positive thing surely the "pathway" most players follow is not necessarily...

Schoolboy football is an u/18 comp, Which ever way pathways is undertaken, there is still two years of U20 available before grade is compulsory if a football career is continued. Pathways may well be a way of closing the gap in the footfall that appears between school and grade. An extra year...

It Seems Lee put this to sleep in the spring of 2013, the bear does seem to be stirring a bit in 2014 with autumnal growling comments by S'Up and the rousing cheers by The Mexican and TC.regarding the selection of players to gold squads I always thought selections were associated with darker...

Its a lies and statistics thing clearly ARU see Rugby as a pathway or any other mode of public transport one person making a trip counts as one the same person making the same trip three times counts as three, ( I saw a sign on the ferry once saying 5000000 passengers last year, or similar.) I...

so we are back to how many caught the Manly ferry last year, if you count the trips everyone in Sydney did and a few visitors, truth be known it was just the same 10000 twice a day I will put the rose glasses away for another year then

from the explanation I saw more than 0 and less then 5 attendances to try rugby or similar is participating 5 or more is taking part in a structured competition or program I imagine by this wording, the question is asked of a sample of the population(survey) and numbers extrapolated from that...

I love it this phrase could be bottled and re-used for many teams visitin' the Central west just watch the GPS thread when their lads head out there for pre season tours

ah ... from the home of God squads and dog squads .... Eastwood. It seems to me the Junior gold program, that has now become the national championships that you so malign, provides a reat oportunity for club players to access training, encouragement, game intensity and competition and an...

Both these programmes are ARU Surely a competition that asks to increase intensity and skill isnt going to do that by excluding what some have described as the best players (from the NGS) or is there conflict within as well engagement in this should be compulsory for the NGS participants in this...

Newington, St Pats, Oak hill, Epping Boys, The hills spots high, a couple of 2nd Div ISA schools in this age group MWZ beat MNZ this season, North Harbour will be further weakened if the lads travelling over the bridge for school are told they have to bolster South Harbour if they even turn up!

Maybe if this comp was graded properly and not to the advantage of the NSW team Tuesdays Reds v Sydney game would have been the correct final. it was interesting that the pool that Qld Sydney Victoria and ACT were in won the bulk of their cross matches comfortably

spent a few ruminative moments before posting a short view on this game. I know there were a few frustrated Sydney supporters watching and portioning blame for a team performance that didn't display the lads at their best. This may or may not be fair but it does not give enough credit to the...

Four players ? of From this team played 1st XV for their respective ISA school teams I think, matching it in an u/18s comp should hold them in reasonable light here 1 Pius 1 Oak Hill 2 From St Augustines may need checking for accuracy
