Game is not dying nationally just seems like it here in NSW with the total disregard shown to any grassroots involvement and development by either the ARU or NSWRU. States such as Qld and Wa seem to have a strong committment to the game and its development. Franchises such as the Brumbies and...

Any more names for players in the U19 train on squad for NSW. There are previous postings on players from Manly and Randwick being named - anyone from the other sides eliminated last week - West Harbour or Gordon from the week before

Just as an aside to the current thread on this forum - the day at Ballymore 6 October should be a great day of rugby with NSW playing Qld in U15, U17 and U19

I have heard that the team that played in the Waratah Shield final for Auggies was very different to the team that played Oakhill in ISA. I have heard that a lot of the year 12 players developed some very serious attitudes and became very lazy in attending training and doing all they were...

Just heard 3 players from Manly - Dombkins, Hodge and Northam - are in the train on squad for the u19's. Anyone else know of any names in the squad

I don't know how much clout they have but it was reported in the Daily telegraph this morning that RUPA has called for a full review of Australian Rugby along the lines of the Cricket Review that occurred last year...

A simple pass mark for me will be watching the players wearing a gold jersey having a passion and a desire to represent that jersey to their utmost ability

Uni to win easily over randwick - Randwicks backs will not handle the Uni backs at all Norths to beat Wests in a bit of an upset - I expect Norths forwards to recapture the form they showed when they beat Uni and will contain the big Wests forwards

Have to agree with Richo here. I think Deans would be good for the waratahs but he is not strong enough to stand up to the Board and get the changes necessary to make the Tahs a force again. Changes are required not only in the Tahs setup but to the substructure that NSW rugby provides and feeds...

From what I saw yesterday Baldwin and Dombkins were having a whale of a battle at the breakdown. As for Connor he was injured early and left the field either late in the half or didn't return after half time. i did not think he had a great impact in the game due to his injury. Many's forward...

If anyone wants any info on NSW v Qld U19 go to the Qld U19 forum. Game is apparently at Ballymore on Oct 6. They even know some of the players trialling. Here in nSW there is nothing

It is interesting that Qld have announced players to trial/train, know when and where the game is and are being well prepaqred. In NSW there is nothing - no info no news on selections no nothing

Said it beforer and I will say it again - play schools during the week and allow the schools players to play club on the weekend. Best of both worlds

I agre that the coaching staff is a problem and it is now time for a change. However, the criticism of the efforts of the Wallabies should not just be confined to a call to sack the coach. The players cannot avoid the same type of criticism the coaches have got and should be accountable. I also...

There is a thread on this forum that a Qld U19 team could be picked. Anyone know of any possible NSW v Qld game at U 19 level later this year? Anyone game to suggest a team for NSW

I love the way we shout get rid of the coach when the actuallity of it all is that no matter who is coach the result will be the same with this bunch of players. We are so far behinb the AB's in playing talent. The basic skills and abilities of this playing group is very low. They find it very...

I think Manly play trhe winner of the 6v7 game - eastwood or warringah

What a joke - the mungos have a shit international competition so they try and jump onto the 7's bandwagon. Also I can't see the NRL clubs releasing their best players for a considerable lump of time required to prepare, travel and play in the Games. As we all know they consider their game to be...

did uni approach haangaana or did he voluntarily approach them. I suppose his management may have been involved and if so what are Uni paying/giving him if anything?

semis next week sat 1pm wests v manly; 3pm uni v norths sun 1pm eastwood v warringah; 3pm randwick v gordon
