Totally agree. It would be great to enable fresh rep selections as there is a notion out there that you will be overlooked - Unless you play for sydney Uni U r an absolute freak You made a rep team at school Bad luck if the above doesn't apply , you wont be considered. The australian under 20s...

That is just plain wrong. I know that Wicks have a stack of ex Wallabies assisting every weekend - Rugby is growing in the area and to say that nothing is done for Juniors is ignorant - refer to the recent state championships of one - look at the local comps, the Tens Tournemant etc - sorry to...

http://issuu.com/rugbynews/docs/rn12_issue_15_final_for_web_v3 The competition may be more open than first thought although Uni are dropping back a lot of players from Grade now. Did anyone see the Rugby News article yesterday where a Colts "Team of the Year" was picked? (link above) The usual...

"They have got teams but nobody plays for them" ??? "I never played against a Randwick or Easts Rep team" The wicks were represented in every age group at the recent state championships, or were you just saying that you never made a rep team yourself "league has little impact" souths harold...

Also nothing like being able to add three players who played First Grade in recent week, i.e. Dunbar, Melrose etc

there are some pretty wide sweeping and inaccurate comments on this thread. Firstly, Parramatta and Penrith will struggle against league however should be encouraged as they will be rugby powerhouses eventually. The demographics favour league however there is a lot of good sportsman there. It a...

I agree with you.How does Uni rort the points system and get away with it? they seem to have so many more rep players in their squads. Still, which sides impressed from this weekends rounds?

Uni have 3 or 4 Aust Under 20 players in the forwards plus a few in the backs. (How they fit that in under the points system is another story). I just don't see how they Uni forwards can be rated as being a lesser unit than others. If that was the case, the Australian Under 20 selectors must...

Good call - there are more posts on the schoolboy sites. I think the standard is the same as last year although I can't comment about previous years. There are many top athletes going around - top only beat the bottom (i.e. Norths over Randwick) by one lucky try. There still still a stack of Rep...

1 they miss Tom conner & Terence Hepetema 2 their opponents played well and they were bad They have had 6 props out Otherwise no excuses that I have heard. They were better against Uni then fell away. Maybe they will improve however look off the pace at present

Totally agree. Well put. Its nearly as silly as Scots Colleges high altitude training facility

didn't francis cullimore play at a high level?

What has happened to the Wicks?

Sorry meant manly instead of eastwood on position 5

First Grade Colts - My Top Five Prediction for the end of the year 1 Uni 2 West Hbr 3 Easts 4 Randwick 5 Eastwood Just call me Nostradamus

Manly outplayed randwick. The Wicks fought back from 0-19 however Manly were too good at the breakdown and out wide. Randwick #7 ran all day however neglected the break down. Mark Bannon was great for the Wicks when he came on. Manly 7, 11 & 15 were very good. Wicks will have to improve - Manly...

Great stuff from Penrith - well done Emus- sad about Parra. I reckon those areas, in time, will be strong

Easts beat Randwick 4 to 2. They were strong. Lop sided penalty count against the wicks plus 2 disallowed tries - they will have to lift to be a force. The Beasts may go far this year.
