HJ - I think they earned a rep jumper because they were the best player in their position and they fullfilled all eligibility criteria. No - they will not be trying to get U17 rep jumpers. Let's agree to disagree.

The minimum aim is to play enough games so that all our rep players get to wear the jersey they earned - we spend enormous amounts of time to find players so our rep players qualify by the rules and don't miss out. Admittedly it is not an ideal way for our opponents but we don't have an...

That is 12 possibilities - doesn't mean there are 12 available. For example when 4 are playing in Tamworth for Sydney there are 8 possibilities.

Chatswood have 14 regulars, 2 of whom can't now play - the other 12 have helped out once or twice at most to get a team on the field.

There are NO non rep players at Chatswood and when we realised we could not field a team on a weekly basis everyone was asked if they would like to join another team - no takers. 14 games in 22 days will do that. 5 non rep players left Chatswood to join Lindfield this year because A grade was...

Waverley 17-12 in 16A's on the back of a dominant forward pack and a massive penalty count in Waverley's favour.

You cannot defer a game to qualify for reps - if you have not played it then it is not a game played. They played Wests in round 8 (15 June) after the State Champs to qualify for Regionals and need to play 2 more prior to the end of the year to qualify for the October carnival - one of those...

I think you will find they had a bye - another game played! SSUN U16A 10 1 Bye Chatswood Stags 0 v Bye 0 2014-07-20 00:00 That means they woud need to play one more game to qualify for Sydney - maybe they actually know what they are doing?

AKA - you seem to think that schools outside the GPS are interested in doing whatever they can to fix the massive differences in abilities between GPS First XV's caused by you know what - CAS for example have a pretty good comp going and one of the traditionally poorer schools is winning which...

Correct, final score 17-7 Aloys.

I think last year Hutchison did not play the 16's National carnival but he went on to make Aussie schoolboys so had a lot of rugby including the end of year tour. Lough and Goddard will only have First XV rugby after this saturday unless they make the Aussie schoolboys - they may have other...

Going through the State Champs program. Gordon - 5 in Sydney and 5 in Presidents. Penrith 6 and 3 Parra 1 and 2 Eastwood 2 and 5 Souths 2 and 5 Wicks 2 and 2 Norths 3 and 7 Warringah 1 Wests 1 MNZ 8 and 4 MWZ 6 and 8 MSZ 4 and 3 Barbarians 5 and 8 Obviously MNZ look over represented in Sydney...

James Armstrong will be in Schools as well.

See that is where you are wrong again Slugga - the Chatswood boys all won a State Championship with Gordon which is what they were seeking. Further rep honours will go to those that deserve it. MWZ were the best side on the weekend as predicted by most people with knowledge of the age group...

Sorry - I put this on the Open's thread by mistake rather than 16's thread for those like me that did not know how it worked.. It was explained to me how the selections work for Sydney and NSW Schools U16's by someone well qualified to know. They both pick their teams and submit them to NSW...

Well said formerflanker; very true, but another point .... wouldn't a school who would hire a full time rugby coach also recruit talented rugby players through scholarships? How much of the equation includes recruitment ? Personally I think it is great that the boys get the best possible...

I find myself agreeing with you Slugga which disturbs me a little. In the past I don't think they do announce the 16's Sydney team immediately as they have to negotiate with the Schools team to ensure there are no double-ups. I have heard Sydney get first choice this year but not sure if that...

Couldn't agree more RB - the players sat opposite their opposite number at dinner the night before and then smashed each other the next day - the only thing missing is a beer after the game - next year they can do that...

Is that Bailey Simonson?

Vevers did not play for Aloys yesterday due to concussion from the week before against Knox and was unavailable for selection for the CHS games - should be OK after that I think.
