I ag I agree. From that the standard is not there.

Don't know. I think they will apply the criteria fairly loosely. They will try to get as many good prospects in as they can and will apply the rules to achieve this end. Yesterdays Easts V Randwick game would also be a quasi selection trial. Did anyone spot the candidates for the Eagles from that?

How is Oli and when is he due back?

I think the Eagles will comprise 6 or 8 players each from Easts & Randwick, the balance from Super 15. I would review those lists for a good start for the possible squad.

That sure leaves a lot of spots vacant

I like the idea of a leadership group. The people mentioned above would be certainties for that group plus maybe one other. I would have a younger bloke as the official captain and have Tim Wright as a mentor or "go to" man - he can't be far from retiring (which is a comment on his age rather...

My ideal backrow would be Munro @6, Baldwin @8 @ Connor @7 - unless of course Hoiles was available then he would be my pick for 8. Baldwin is heavier than Figg I suspect. Maybe I am being harsh on Figg as he has added some nice touches around the park although I don't think he is a captain as...

I think you will find that many of the players mentioned as being candidates for these NRC squads wont be available. That is hearsay on my part. I still believe there will be many up & comers.

H Hope you are right. Phew.

Will the ABC Coverage of the Shute Shield survive the budget? With $40 mill taken from the ABCs funding in the budget, will our much loved & great quality coverage of the Shute Shield survive? Can our visionaries at G & G Rugby get an on line petition to support keeping the SS? Our game doesn't...

I can't talk on behalf of team however I know the following.... They lost prop Toa Asa the day of the match. His replacement was an English chap called Charlie Hughes who wasn't good enough IMO. They lost lock Dan Faleafa with an ankle injury the day before. He was replaced by Chris 2 Fathers...

Wonder whether Carraro might play. I also like the idea of the goal kicking fullback from 3s being brought up. He has an amazing boot and goes OK. If we had Windon Hoiles & Carraro the young blokes may well rise up. It will be a cracker on Saturday.

Any idea as to who will replace Rees-Hole & who makes way for Hoilsey? I guess we will find out tomorrow in any event. It will be great to watch Hoiles at Coogee Oval.

Does anyone know whether the Coogee Dolphins played their 3 grades at Coogee Oval on Sunday? That would stir up the possum if they did.

They have had the Mungo Rep sides training there all week and that is behind the decision. Not Happy.

Thought the Eastwood game was a great effort that was an opportunity lost. The Wicks won everywhere but for the scoreboard. Oli Nicholson withdrew meaning that the 3rd choice 10 had to play - Norton played well given that he has been out injured with a game in 3rds as his only lead up. His goal...

Team lists are published - seems we have 7 or 8 changes. Injuries? Must be hard to win with that number of changes.
