All the other major and not so major sports - NRL(?), AFL, A-League, Basketball, Womens Football, Ice Hockey (FFS), and others have been able to get National Club or Inter-state club competitions going - why can't Rugby do it. All this talk of a thrid tier made up of special franchises I believe...

Jim Stewart has already told Uni he was going to the Rats.

Well 2 Blues has answered some questions put to him and kept us informed of the progress Parramatta has made in rebuilding their colts. Maybe we could start similar postings about Gordon if someone wants to provide some info on what they are doing to rebuild and what the numbers look like this...

I nearly choked when I saw this then thought about it a bit. I will concede that the depth and numbers at St Augustines may not match up to other schools rugby histories but I do believe that based on the success of their first XV that St Augustines have been in the top three rugby teams in NSW...

I agree. Keebra always make a joke of this when they win - how they don't play it and have prepared very little for it when in actual fact they prepare very well and nclude several players with rugby backgrounds. Someone should remind them of what happened when they played one of the better...

FFS Bruce the day you nget on here and say something positive about anything other than Sydney Uni I'll bend over backwards and put my head you know where. Maybe Hawker is not so much interested in a power trip or in keeping his profile to help with Macquarie Bank. Maybe just maybe he feels he...

Maybe Cooper knew that O'Neill was leaving and thats why he took to twitter and said what he said. Trying to show how strong and independant he is (with a view to a new contract reflecting his love and concern for OZ Rugby) without having to deal with O'neill

I don't think Gaffney was let go it was Bowen. Cheika and Gaffney are the only remaining coaches

Any word yet on the make-up of the National Academy players for NSW

is that players aspiring to play shute shield (Colts, country, subbies) or Shute Shield players aspiring to be waratahs

Horwitz did play and he was a standout for NSW in the time he was on

Didn't see too many boys running around at ballymore on saturday. a good game with some very talented footballers running around

After watching the schoolboys test and the game between NSW and Qld 19's (where there was a number of the higher rated players missing) I have no doubt that we have the talent available to produce something special in the next 10 years IF we get the changes we all know we need (National comp...

For those interested NSW u19 defeated QLD u19 31-19 at Ballymore today. Good game with NSW controlling both forward exchanges and the open spaces. QLD tries came from 2 pickand drives and a maul near the lin

Hooper is less than 100Kgs too small to be an 8 or a 6.

game is on Fox 3 at 11.00

Is there no interest in this game on Saturday. There is nothing about it on these forums - no teams, no discussion, nothing. Its interesting as I thought this game is a trial for National Academy and will contain a lot of players that will make up the U20's next year and as such some may have...

The good point about Nasser and his management style is that he strives to get the very best deal for his clients (and therefore a bigger paycheck for himself). The bad thing about him and his clients is that they have no respect for the game they play or the people that support and truly love...

Any word up there on the make-up of the Qld U19 team

1. Don't know 2. Don't know but it is something being done different and seems to target the actual playing ability rather than selecting based on a camp situation. It also provides a wider number of players to be considered. Originally there are 40 in the group in NSW and a squad of 25 will...
