    I'm saying that I'm not aware of any evidence of it (which in the past I was and I criticised the practice if you care to go back over this thread). I'm also saying that the evidence of results of the past 2 seasons - 1 win in 2017 and 2 wins in 2018 would suggest that there's no particular...

    Think he'd have trouble getting the tower and the volcano past the Concerned Scots Neighbours Group. They fight everything he wants to do.

    Once Lambo has the new Scootish Baronial style library built, those balconies will be the cheap seats. :) Now this is a balcony... https://www.tsc.nsw.edu.au/library-upgrade

    Think that they were experimenting with their team a bit too.

    I don't doubt that for a minute. But at Newington for example, boarding doesn't start until Year 9 so that boys not living in Sydney can't start until Year 9 at the earliest. There's also a programme where country kids get three years boarding for the price of two.

    NSW AAGPS 2019

    And the 1sts and 2nds were 2 of the 4 teams which won on that day. The results bespeak an attitude towards sport (I purposely picked the Grammar round as they could never be accused of overdoing sport). Others have endured years of pain in rowing at the hands of Shore and still do.

    I think that we all understand that in the past both Scots and Newington pushed the envelope and were called out on this thread by me and others for a number of years. I don't believe in either case that this is still happening. It's interesting that when I've also highlighted the arrival...

    Wasn't there a boy with a hypehated name who started on the indigenous programme at SJC in either Year 10 or Year 11? A couple of years back. Had represented NSW and Qld at junior rugby league. (I know the name but don't want to highlight it as it's not fair on the kid)

    We're currently ranked 5th, with a significant gap between us and 4th. SAF are 6th and their loss to Argentina has helped us stay 5th. On current form hard to see us beating Ireland or England.

    The whole raison d'etre of these threads is for people to express their opinion - yours have been proven so wrong so often, but you still have the forum to express them. It's your beloved ARU who have sent the joint up the creek - and you've defended them and their decisions at every turn no...

    Now you know how I feel after avoiding the super rugby this season.

    Absolutely RN. A point I've been making for some time. Sadly all forseen and forseeable, but too many had too much faith in ARU/RA. In the supreme irony, the architect of the top-down philosphy on JON appeared in print yesterday, saying that the whole structure needed changing.

    Where to for Super Rugby?

    The ghost of Christmas Past JON appears out of the ether. I generally agree with his observations (and I have read the full article). I would note, however, that he laid the foundations for the predicament in which we currently find ourselves. (The top down policy of development - which is...

    Indeed UTG. In fact I was listening to Steve Hansen being interviewed the other day. To paraphrase “what’s the secret to the AB game?” “We constantly work on the basic skills of the game and the core skills of each position. We can then play a running game a passing game or a kicking game...

    Even if you’re right, RA don’t have the money to pay him out let alone pay for another coach after doing so.

    ABs have gone up a gear and we're not able to go with them. This could get ugly.
