If Charles and Roberts are both playing he would go to 1sts Colts. Generally Uni would rather have them there than 3rd grade, which is the right approach IMO

Hey, I'd go with Benny Roberts every time (just get the throws straight Benny!). I was just trying to avoid gross exhibitions of Uni player bias.

Agree Riddler Also agree that a 3rd hooker is essential with the extra games and TPN's habit of breaking himself. Ben Roberts or Luke Holmes would fill that hole. And I think Tilse had a +1 option in his contract and will stay for 2011.

I think you'll find most of the money is on Kings. Joeys will hopefully fly under the radar and sneak in at the end, like they have done so many times before.

Manly and Uni looks like a cracker. Particularly the battle up front and in the centres.

One of those big NT locks must have been watching old vids of Matfield v Byron Kelleher from a few years ago. Came through a lineout and hit the NSW Country halfback high, breaking his jaw. Poor kid's first run on for Country as well!

Cutch is also in Baa Baas team. How long will they be out for the Commonwealth Games?

No bites here

It's going to be tough for these guys when all the rock stars are back. McDuling, in particular, and also Carter have done a lot of the hard work for Uni in the tough weeks at the start of the season, but we are going to have to fit Dennis, Waugh, McCalman, Davidson, and McCutcheon into the pack...

What he said!

My mail is that both Ben Roberts (SUFC and Junior tahs this year although not contracted by tahs) and Luke Holmes (ex Force and junior tahs) are both being courted by the Rebels. I think both would do a pretty good job too.

I can't give a reason why Weeks was given a scholarship, but I can confidently say that it was not given to him because he played Rugby.

As a 3rd generation old boy and recent parent I am still confident that Joeys don't award sports scholarships. There are scholarships for music and maths and indigenous students. The old boys offer scholarships for sons of old boys who would struggle to pay the fees. There are a few...

Sorry Riddler, been away from my computer for a while and then trying to sort out the new look of this place. I must admit, I'm pretty bad at watching the other team as I am usually concentrating on my boys. However, I did keep an eye out for Dud and I agree with you, he didn't do much. I...

Having played at Uni in the early 80s, I saw that team in action a few times. I wasn't in 1s, thank God, so I saw it from the sideline. They were awesome. Even against a Uni backline with 3 Farr-Jones brothers, Jimmy LeStrange and Michael Hawker. And the remarkable thing about them was that they...

Well, from the Uni point of view it was a good win in 1s. The forwards were pretty dominant and got over the advantage line a lot of the time. Dennis and McAlman in particular were good in this regard. McCutcheon was a fantastic fetcher and, in my humble opinion taught Alcock a few lessons...

I look like a fat almost 50 exprop with a greying beard. That should limit it to about 50 of us. I normally sit on the left hand side of the grandstand a few rows back from the walkway near the steps. Probably have Mrs Topo a daughter or 2 and a brother with me. Old man Mumm and Carter are...

Great post, Albert. Keep 'em coming.

5 Joeys old boys out of 40 players selected in the two squads. Not bad.

Fair enough. Got me. I left in 1978. Said to be the worst Joeys side to win a premiership (3 way tie).
