I'm after stats on # kids playing a season (> 5 games) over the last 3 years in different winter sports U6 - U14 in NSW Union League Soccer AFL Why - at our local prep school we have Eagle Tag and if you don't get in not allot and the headmistress has referenced Paul Kelly's AFL. I don't no...

I started this thread because i was concerned that the ARU was so far out of touch with Australian Rugby they didn't seem to know what it was. Read the above blog last night - and just in case it didn't copy and past...

Yep spot on that Blog

Thanks for that, I'm trying to work out whether these players are already elite private school kids who are already achieving?

ILTW - hmm wered ya go. NSW scored 20 and stopped, i was nervous about getting run down. We didnt deserve a bonus point win, i want better.

Yeah i saw it a bit like that, take away the scoreboard and it looked different. I wonder how many results for this year come down to whats in their heads.

You have to pay Barbarians post though given hes historically fair;). If i took away the score board, I thought the Reds won. NSW played better for about 20 - 25 minutes they scored points when playing better, the Reds didn't convert their opportunities. But i haven't re watched. I'm...

God helps us TWAS has changed to cuddly Koala.

This is a thread I've never looked at, can someone please bullet point. Number of teams, and where, Target age groups, Is it just one competition, Players sourced from (club, public / private schools), Next Step, Cheers

;) MMM Gee, given the Brumbies performance i would have selected the wild horses, and not touched any other team. NSW played for 20 minutes. QLD lost. Reb's / Force allot of errors, i cant recall seeing the stats but how many times did we hit 7 phases, earn the right to go wide.

From the mouth of a RWC final referee - often we have no idea but we need to keep the game flowing.

Yes, and Horwitz often sat behind him as well. I talked him up at 12 last year based on his performances @ 12 and some of the folk on the Tah's thread said to small, to skinny, not enough experience without seeing many of his games. Picked at 11, switched top 15 just before kick off, and...

Thought it was funny when the wicks trainer said something like "I no your lungs are heavy at the moment but don't think about it". Hearing that after conceding a try probably added a few kegs. As i said, only trials - i can see both teams getting better.

That would be true, my point though is / was ensuring we are growing our playing numbers. I have said all premier clubs should be looking to grow grass roots with the support of the ARU (but do nothing get nothing applies). Thus my example with the halfbacks 3 outa 5. I think it is the u5s ->...

Interesting though - lets have a look at Shute Shield players playing elsewhere to see the real importance. Ala'alatoa (x 2), Sio, Talaki, Neville, Petersen, Jones, Reid, Fardy, Pyle, Cowan, Weeks i good list plus possibly a few more - possibly shows the importance / reliance of that pathway...

Scrappy game, enjoyed watching, picked at 11, changed to 15, finished at 10 - not allot of players could do that in a debut. Both Reece and Jordy were picked up out after strong seasons in the Shute Shield - shows the value in the comp. The longer the season goes the stronger Reece will get.

Just trials, enjoyed the arvo.

Good hit out against the Wicks to get the season underway. Plently of fluids lost and some solid D Hope the injury to the Wicks player mends quickly.

Yep saw that, as per previous posts Manly has started a pathway that will be built on, reviewed, adapted, and built over time. Looking forward to seeing ARU plans, not sure how to take ARU's comments about SS, and then not giving detail and plan. Incline.

Yep just the 2Blues game because of Manly Oval.
