    How to fix this? Make him play breakaway for a year in a lesser team?

    NSW AAGPS Rugby 2013

    Probably need two years without incident at the problematic venue to return to 3.15. I think game last year was at Joeys - somewhat different culture there.

    Rugby News from unexpected places

    A nice piece in the Wall Street Journal about a 42yr CEO in San Antonio. "Mr. Salter says he believes rugby offers the strongest team camaraderie of any sport. After every game it is tradition for the host team to arrange a dinner for the visiting team. "I've run track and played basketball, but...

    NSWRU and referee getting sued

    Interesting thought on the extent of the injury given she went onto the London Olympics as Tonga's physio but then Rocky Bleier was told he would never walk again and subsequently won a Superbowl ring.

    Aah the days when so many Shore boys did pathways (5 I think in this team). You had a tough opponent that day.

    Quite common for kids to not receive ATAR - do you know of anyone who ranked below 50 - ie the average.

    Absolutely - some schools like Abbotsleigh have a list of ++. Shore, however, apart from excursions are pretty good with the all in cost.

    It would seem the issue of "leadership/all-rounder" scholarships is endemic in the Uniting School system. A quote from Stephen Mayne's blog on "makewesleyaccountable.com" "This group believes that Wesley could well manage to transition off federal funding without any diminution in the quality...

    My guess is that in any circle people would take issue with anyone that accuses their stated position as being one based primarily on race. Why leave it at GPS, why not extend it to politics, AFL, religion, sexual preferences. "Oh I disagree with your point of view because you are a racist"...

    Mate, every race has a natural preference towards its own - ipso facto everyone is racist - some just are more extreme than others in how they enunciate their prejudice.

    Ummm - no - out and out importing started in the early 80's with schools like Cranbrook/Joeys and was taken to a new (pun intended ) level in 1992 when 5 boys entered Scots - all of whom were anglos/angmos/johns/gweilos/whiteys (one actually had that surname). On the issue of racism - a side...

    Hugh, they could now be running around with Randwick Colts, similar to Josh Valentine some 12 years ago when he declined the opportunity to play (oops Freudian slip) I meant enrol with an incredibly famous rugby school as he thought the rugby at Warringah colts was more intense (20 odd games a...

    Ok - once again the deniers are confusing the issue. This is not about the boys themselves being offered places in AAGPS schools - all the best to them and I hope their experiences hold them in good stead. The issue is the impropriety of the schools. This is an excerpt from the Code of...

    Jeez - talk about a back flip - first you come out in your usual preaching style about how wrong I was then you come and say plenty of clipboards. Room of mirrors for you.

    Tom, firstly, please give us an update on the appropriate forum as to his team's performance, and secondly just give us a yah or a neh on this forum as to whether the sharks circle for a closer look. Cheers

    Correct re location (and large number old boys sons also helps) - having 150 kids turning out in the U13s is a valuable gift.
