Yes they probably have improved as the season progressed , but the fact that some people said that they had little to offer , is more a reflection on those peoples judgement & their particular biases than on the quality of the Trinity team . Even now, after an outstanding season , some people...

The answer ? I assumed that it was because they had better players & were well coached. You seemingly know something about Trinity that others on this forum don't know. Perhaps you could give us the benefit of your inside knowledge ? I'm sure that Trinity's secret of success would be...

I can't comment on the competition as a whole , but I watched the Barker v Trinity game on the weekend , & was highly impressed by the Trinity team's skills , particularly handling , backing up , & creating openings , on the other hand their lineout was not particularly competitive , & they...

A lot of players missing from Shute Shield teams in the coming weeks , due to the Super 15 teams touring o'seas. This includes players not previously in Super 15 teams , trying out for a contract for 2012 .

If he is in fact having his 21st birthday today then he should not be playing colts football .If he is then the points accrued by Uni in the games in which he has played would be forfeited.

Manly v Easts is the standout game , Randwick v Wests should be close.

I watched the game also ,& agree with your summation overall . I thought the teams were pretty evenly matched in the forwards , but once it got past the 5/8 Uni were clearly superior. One area of minor disagreement though is with Big Willie. He is hard to contain on occasions , but his...

Lee , it's interesting how we all see things differently , in particular re Debreczeni . I noted your comments about him following last Tuesdays game , which I didn't see , & your comments today describing his selection as the biggest surprise . I came away from the ground thinking he was one...

Whatever spin you want to put on it ,Uni get a disproportionate number of schoolboy rep players.Is it a coincidence then that they win a disproportionate number of competitions ? It doesn't follow that all their players are automatically "stars" , but they have been through a filtering process...

Interesting to read some of you guys philosophising about what is really important in the colts competition , & how recruiting "star " schoolboys does not guarantee success for Uni. Can I suggest that you look at the results of the colts competitions in all grades in recent years.

And Clunies-Ross from Trinity.

Trinity far too strong as the score suggests.(9 tries to 1 ) A huge penalty count in favor of Aloys , & consequently a corresponding advantage in the line outs to them , which for some reason Trinity didn't contest on the Aloys throw ins. Best player on the ground was Debreczeni , who I think...

It's pretty much academic who comes second,(probably Randwick). The reality is Uni are specials. Any other result would warrant a stewards enquiry.

My final reply. My original response to you , was following your accusation that a Sydney Rugby Club , in this case the West Harbour Club , was "soul less" You have given a number of reasons & "facts " to support you opinion. On examination of your posts , I have found that many of these are...

Yes , every club does have those volunteers , & others , as I said above . That's my point. But you are wrong , because you don't understand that they are what gives each club it's soul & keeps each club & therefore the competition in existence. As for being a "very rich club " , if you...

During my time playing Rugby in the Sydney competition & after , I have been fortunate to make many friends , from all the clubs , including some from West Harbour club.(who I didn't play for ) Wests were always one of the hardest clubs to play against , & played with passion , but off the...

Maybe West Harbour wasn't so bad after all.

Yes , that must have given them an incredible advantage. I just hope they're not fibbing to everyone.::)

"Premier Clubs" of early 1900's also included : South Sydney Glebe Balmain Newtown Prior to that ( 1874 to 1900 )also included : Waratahs Wallaroos Redfern Burwood Pirates

Fair enough ,I think Debreczini & Sio might be considered stars or at least quite a bit above average this year , but not last.The others you mention I would classify as just average.In passing , I think Trinity look a stronger side this year however , as does Cranbrook , while Waverley are...
