I ahve used Pro-direct before to buy boots and they are very good and very quick with their delivery

light Even though he is playing 12 in the NSW 1's Jim Stewart is generally a 13 and a very good one at that. i would tip him to take F'Sautia's position if he is unavailable. I have previously posted that given his history and undoubted talent and he is the best going around, I would...

I know this year no player from the Div 2 sides were selected but this has not been the case in previous years. These tournamnets are important for the talent in those states to be seen and promote the game and keep it alive at the Schools level in those states. if we lose the support of the...

Sam Talakai has failed the fitness test and is out of NSW II team. His place has been taken by James Caterson from the NSW 1 bench and Rory McMullin has been bought up to the 1 bench to replace Caterson. Don't know who is being bought in for Rory

If this is correct it is a big loss for Qld. i hope the selectors do the right thing and select him in OZ Schools or OZ A for the game against England with a view to getting him intio the OZ Schools game against NZ. As there will be a further selection trial in September to select the two OZ...

Riggghhhhhttt any name please or state club school

Light I agree that the Qld sides will be strong and hard to beat. There are a lot of players coming back from last year so they have that experience. However, some of these players did not perform last year. Most of the NSW players have had experience at Nationals, either senior or u/16 (where...

I guess NSW might as well not turn up then Light. Can you tell me where the NSW team is lacking compared to Qld as I believe the two NSW sides will go close to playing the final. Saw some of the Qld players last year and I believe that NSW is stonger in their back row than Qld and that this year...

I don't think there will be much debate/discussion about the two teams as most seem to agree that the right players have been picked. In my opinion I believe the two sides are very strong

I think the back five are the best of NSW. All of them hard runners and work off the ball very well and will give plenty of go forward. Good size as well. Dombkins 'ok' yesterday? don't know where that came from as he was almost playing like a 7 at times and was one of the best forwards on the...

Given that the four Association captains are in the 1's (Wells, Wessels, Dombkins and Debreczni) who do people think will captain the two sides? These are two pretty strong teams and i think will go better than last year. Last year the teams were split similarly with the 2's containing mostly...

I think CAS II's are playing CCC. GPS II's are playing ISA II's

I think we will see a stronger running game from Dombkins on friday. He has been very strong all year carrying the ball, always getting over the ad line and creating opportunities for the outside players. It will be important for him to get his team going forward and getting CAS on the backfoot...

kelepi is an outstanding player who comes along when there is someone just a little better in fornt of him - Gordon Broome. kelepi has been in NTS in the past and his undoubted skills have been noticed lately. he has a good allround game and he could play 6 or 8 quite easily. From what I...

Lee kelepi is in year 12 and will turn 18 this year

The fullback for CHS Gutherson may have something to say on this issue. It will be interesting to see how both go on Friday

I have now spoken to some who were there yesterday and from all appearances ISA were totally outclassed by a slick CHS team. No excuses were given but it was pointed out that this was the third game for CHS and the first for ISA and mostof the ISA team played yesterday and the team were...

As it was a NSW schools organised event aren't they supposed to organise the officials especially if its an official trial for NSW. The injuries must have affected ISA but from what i heard CHS backs were just too slick. How did Dombkins, Purcell and Natoli go?

Can't say because i haven't seen them all play but purcell from Auggies has the credentials to claim top spot. i have seen him this year, including the Hybrid game, and he has been outstanding all year.
