Correct - we should never criticise the individual, nor the family, for being involved in the process. From their viewpoint, it is what it is - a splendid opportunity (or a better opportunity in this case). From the point of view of the schools, it is what it is also, but it is a view that...

Stewart went to St. Augustines and I can report that some at the school were not best pleased that they were later gazumped by Scots. .

He would have gone OK. He was in the Aus Schools rugby union team, which doesn't guarantee success in our code, but I always thought his game was more suited to union than league. .

I don't know of any interest in Feltscheer - but I wrote months ago that he was the best fullback in Sydney who hadn't got a Super contract yet; so I think he'd have to be on the clipboards. And I've mentioned it again, since. I can only think of his lightness being a drawback (which is...

Feltscheer has had a great year for the Rats and the Rays - a wonderful attacker, yet a safe custodian. But he's a light man and so lacks a bit of impact in the tackle whether he has the ball or the other bloke does. Ah Nau has started a couple of times for the Rebels already. He has been been...

I think Harry would agree with that, and anyone who has seen them both since their school days would too. CTPE was just saying that he was playing well as an 18-year-old in the NRC, not suggesting that he will get to Super Rugby before Kell, who has always played older than his years. Nobody...

That would be a nice Xmas present for us fans, wouldn't it IIWII? But the Wallabies won't be returning to the Tahs before the middle of January, though a few show up earlier in the month. And I doubt if Mourad Boujellal would allow the Toulon coaches to play their galacticos. .

I wonder when, in the real world, this could happen in any year. I mean: with their real teams. .

Voldemort and Sauron would be scary for opponents but they are "Myths". .

I don't think TGC is too pleased with his old club. Ex-Leinster captain and new Leinster forward coach Leo Cullen arranged with his old coach, TGC, to watch the Waratahs train at the end of January. http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/waratahs-spots-up-for-grabs-in-albury/ A few months later...

They must have been kidding Mizzy, or know SFA about American Football. If Hayne gets a gig it will probably be as a kick returner on special teams and maybe he can learn to be a halfback, as we used to call the second man through the line, back in the day. Trialists are a dime a dozen over...

I don't know what you meant by "within the team comp" because it would mean one thing to you and another to me. If you meant that Churchie was more dominant in the GPS this year than BSHS was in 2009. I have no clue, but I know that TSS was very strong in 2009 also, yet BSHS got the lion's...

It sounds like a good argument for Churchie 2014 v BSHS 2009 - but is not the number of lads chosen for Aus Schools in the particular years (see my post # 2970) not a more valid benchmark? [Assuming that players from the Dark Side at the schools in both years could be chosen for the national...

No, I wouldn't have known that, and if I have quoted someone else, I have forgotten, and can't think why I would. Do you mean that there would have been more Churchie boys in the Qld I team had they not been injured? As for league players at GPS schools - aren't they chosen for Queensland...

I've been there Scoey - I think most of us have, though I would be leading on points. .

It''s good to see Lopeti Timani get regular game time at a level higher than club rugby. If he can improve his handling from the base of the scrum and around the ruck he could have a big future. .

No more comments on ethnicity please. Thank you. .

RedsHappy Gilmore is a bit of a legend up there isn't he? I don't know the guy but he gets results so maybe it is time for a change. But Phillpotts has done a great job and even this year's team (unusually missing their top three Aussie players, in my opinion) went within three points of NZ...

Pigs flying come to mind Sully. Having seen him play since Under 16s, and watching him on France on a regular basis now, and everything in between, I don't think he will play 13 in a Conrad Smith type role. He is not that type of player. I think his best position is at fullback. He has made...

Who were the best players for Churchie this year? .
