Ben Volavola played 5/8 for Souths last year , the previous year he played 5/8 for Wests , & the year before that was at Newington college. He is of Fijian heritage.

Watched the Easts game obviously , & from what I observed ,Wests biggest blokes were in the 2nds.

Easts called for uncontested scrums in first & third grade , which in the former , allowed them to stay competitive , particularly as the referee did not apply or perhaps did not know the appropriate rules to apply under these circumstances.

Only a minor skirmish or two in colts, nothing to speak of.

Uni a much bigger side ,dominated the first half , aided by a string of penalties , which kept the Vikings in their own quarter , & resulted in 4 or 5 tries against them. The second half was much more closely contested , & much of the game was played in Uni's end of the ground. Best players for...

I was assuming Baldwin was playing colts ?

According to a 1st xv player from Trinity I spoke to today , the list of injuries attributed to them above , are greatly exaggerated, including the injury to Clark, in fact he will apparently commence training in 1 to 2 weeks.

I would think that all of those Randwick players going to Norths will play grade. Connor had a good year in colts last year but I think he will find it difficult in grade because of his size. Mark Baldwin a strong player defensively ,is a good addition to the Randwick pack which it seems...

Losses & gains pretty much balance up in most cases.

That's interesting. I formed the opinion from your previous posts that Randwick were losing a few to grade ,Wakim was going to England to play cricket ,& 2 had gone to Norths . Is this not the case ?

Are you basing your predictions on your knowledge of each clubs players , or mostly on which teams are traditionally strong? There hasn't been much written about the new players of each club , nor the players which each has lost. Of course Uni always recruit well & have done so for a number of...

Last weeks grade & colts trials between Randwick & Gordon were cancelled because of the rain.This weekend , there is only grade trials between the two , scheduled.

All Rugby players play Rugby because they enjoy the game . But to say that 1st grade players (& some 2nd graders ) are not influenced /enticed/motivated by money is being a little naive. How many 1st grade players (& some second graders) are not paid to play for their club. Compare this to the...

It's been the objective of the ARU to have 2 grade & 1 colts team for a number of years. If this should come about there will be no 3 & 4 grade or 2 & 3 colts teams .

Didn't you say that they had signed Wests half Max Page ?

About this time each year there is an outbreak of infantile ramblings regarding various school teams from people who clearly don't have a clue. Some of the recent contributions to this thread indicate that another epidemic has broken out.

I imagine that Randwick would have to play Sam Muller at fullback for the same reason , i.e. he has problems with his defence.

He was in Australia "A"
