Thanks CTPE - please keep us posted (pardon the pun!:))

City vs. Country U/16's I'm confused! Is there going to be any team picked after this weekends City vs. Country U/16 game? If so, what is it and does anyone know the program for this team? Thanks, Wreckless

I'm with Sprites on this one! I think it is a harsh and cynical view that the boys we are discussing on this thread have somehow forfeited their status as "kids" once they achieve any sort of elite status in their chosen sport. Reward in exchange for their rugby talent can come in many shapes...

Country Cockatoo's U/16's start their Victorian tour on Friday - have a game vs. Victorian Presidents XV Friday night and another game vs. Victoria U/16's on Sunday. Is anyone able to update or get results? That may spark some discussion as well! Good luck to all the Boys and congrats on...

None of those 4 play for Country this year.

"Dream Team" - selections from the 3 NSW teams!

I think that's right - Davis is registered to a Sydney club and ineligible for Country. As to your second question CTPE - the Country team is picked - that's it for City vs. Country ( August 7th ) and for Nationals ( subject to injuries, unavailabilty etc. ). My question relates to what...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think DD is talking about versatility - can play multi-positions ( and do it well! ) but not necessarily in his preferred position.

How do you rate Country's forwards Dingdong - particularly the backrow? Seems to me MacDougall at 4 has worked after losing Hawkins - still gives speed 6,7 & 8 and adds Macdougall's overall "field presence". Andrews & Tulloch will not have the impact if they can't win any ball - I'm confident...

Well done CTPE!

Scored a beer from DD! Righteous!

Interesting ( and mouth watering! )! But who would have first call on the "origin" boys who are already in the system on the other pathway? Half of those I mentioned are already in the Schools squad. Most would - I reckon - resent being compelled to give up the Schools pathway. There would...

Probably could have Dermo - but didn't play rep for his district (due to his school committments I believe) at Country Championships so ineligible for selection for Country.

This tour will be a good opportunity for that - and same sentiments DD! I was looking at your suggested run on team for NSW Country and imagining how this would work based on your idea of "NSW Country Origin"! The current team is a great bunch, we have both commented on how they have stepped up...

Hey TF5 - I know this is an U/16's thread but noticed your affiliations! UWA 31 - Kalamunda 17 on the weekend ( played at the "graveyard" for visiting teams at Kalamunda! ). I'm looking forward to seeing how the WA boys go at Nationals. Same for VIC - NSW Country are touring VIC before...

PS - just 'cos I was last pick didn't mean I was the nerd either!!!!:). Or did it????

Maggie - glad you decided to stick with us! :) Complex - yes! Thought provoking - yes! Notwithstanding DD's previous point -which is well taken - I think anything that promotes discussion and a bit of "lateral thinking" is worthwhile! I would make the comment that your proposed system is...

PS - I hope you don't mean I'm an SOB!!!:lmao::o

Magpie - DD is correct! The team list shown is the U/17's, and U/16's as per Regionals programme ( if you were lucky enough to get one! ).

Magpie - for the life of me I can't find anything about U/16's on the Country website! All other ages there but U/16's ......???? I just know these boys are in the squad - MacDougall filled in 2nd row with Hawkins out on the weekend and Chapman was ill, but they both went well and big...
