Check out the Programs on the weekend and compare them to those announced as selected in their zones or Bar Bars teams. I bet a lot of those in the teams that came 1st or 2nd at the schools have withdrawn from the club selection process. Schools will turn up with their backline intact. The...

at Gordon McGregor showed his skill as a pivot and distributor having some great options outside him.... in Hutcho or give it to Hurly at NSW we could see he had more options in Hawko, Porter, Sapessa or Hurly the score-lines the previous days showed England used his outside backs well...

Last years u/16 showed some don't even have to turn up to the trials for NSW selection. Other players played opens for their association and were selected for NSW u/16 This may be the same for those mentioned above or the Hunter u/16 LHP playing in the CHS opens team

I saw a lot of ranting on the u/15 thread last year regarding MSZ or MWZ lack of Sydney representation after nearly beating the MNZ team. I heard criticism of the MNZ coach for swapping out "front line players" for others and nearly loosing the matches as there was a significant difference in...

I have no problem believing George Smith on this as you have stated his posts have the appearance of balance and knowledge. I do have a problem with the described conduct and the confidence tricks used on parents and players at the u 11 12 and even 13 levels. u/17 may not be a great example as...

Someone should tell the Sydney president !!!! Do you think he would know already ?! Given this enclave of the North Shore is the Eastern most outpost of the SA Republic such management may be seen as normal

Pool 1: Warringah, Central Coast, ACT Pool 2: Gordon, Penrith, Central West Pool 3: Eastwood, Hunter, West Harbour Pool 4: Parramatta, Southern Districts, Norths I heard that the teams seeded 2 3 and 4 Played a bit of a round robin trial a few weeks back. Who played dead and who overplayed...

SL that was your second go at posting vindictive diatribe on the same subject. entirely not necessary to attack someone who had an opinion. Give it a rest I didn't quote your rant as I didn't want to see it after it was removed again

It seems one of the mathematics geniuses worked out that twelve is divisible by four. this meant it wasn't necessary to have two seeded teams in the same pool and coming up with a tricky formula to decide the fourth semi final spot as was the case with the first draw u16 Pool 1: Warringah...

dropping kids to school at 7 on a saturday morning an picking them up 12 hrs latter full of junk food from Bathurst or Goulburn horrible burgers and exhausted would be quicker and easier than drivin for three hours in Sydney's Saturday peak traffic where the other 4million people in Sydney are...

Given the level of interest shown in the State knock out ( Warratah Shield) by anyone besides ISA the ACT teams and a handful of sports high Schools and the lack of interest shown by the special associations those three groups could create their own comp and walk away from the Warratah shield...

Moving year may have come early, there is a rumour going around that Sydney gets First pick this year. I bet a lot of potential "presidents 1s and 2s" will suddenly be unavailable fro club championships this coming week. Will last years NSW back be missing altogether and back at Knox 2 weeks later.

Last 4 Marist v Augies Knox V Eddies The top two have some room for improvement the latter have shown their cards

is the Elite the quality of the game or the target audience

St Augustines game against Dara I think does not have to be played until mid July?

I wonder what the barriers to increasing the profile are!? Increase the profile and the expectation is increased. Increased chances of more public failure. Its a lot easier to watch it die on the vine then to cultivate it. to have an internet profile where results are lodged accurately each...
