I'll be at the Oz U20 game at Chatswood Oval and the match before it: Gordon v Rats. But JWL took my eye whenever I saw him last year and I will see him in the rep games soon enough. .

I haven't seen JWL play this year. How does he throw to the lineout? .

Writers We are a bit skinny on writers. We don't have anybody who goes to Waverley or Aloys games to share the load. If there's anybody interested please send me a "convo". Just a couple of games for the rest of the season will be fine. Photos of any game are welcome also—send me a...

Guys there have been some posts here that are more like Tweets. Sometimes they are mischievous as when boys are talking up their mates. Tweeting-type posts, especially by members with a low message count will be deleted because they annoy regular posters. Please refrain. Thank you.

Good-oh Will be in touch later.

Neville is one of the big improvers in Super Rugby this year. I wrote of him earlier that if you are built like Tarzan, you have to play like Tarzan, not Jane or Cheetah. (Younger folks can Google these names.) I don't know why Hugh Pyle was down on effectiveness so much that McGahan decided...

Thanks Joe Mac I'll send you a convo. Anybody else? We need CAS writers right now - especially those who watch Aloys and Waverley games. Just 2-3 games during the season would be fine. .

Watching the Rats and the Under 20s? That's what I call good viewing. Or watch the Joeys v New trial, hop in the car, and get to Chatswood Oval just in time for the U20s? Decisions, decisions. .

Yeah, he could be at school next year but people mentioned earlier in this thread that he wouldn't be. I should have asked his dad when I spoke to him on Saturday, but I forgot to. You were the first to ask about his weight. He was 80 kgs last year, most likely will weigh more this year...

JOC (James O'Connor) did OK in Super Rugby but lets leave it. The other matter: yeah - it's common knowledge. He told me before the game that HH was on crutches on Thursday night and hadn't picked up a rugby ball this year. .

Absolutely, though it depends what the question is. If it's: Is he too small to play professional rugby when James O'Connor wasn't? …… It's a question one could give a good opinion about now, but is unseemly to ask that about an U/17 player. Incidentally, see the comments of the St...

The debate is really about well-meaning comments from people who haven't seen him play, or have, but very little—responded to by those who have seen him play a lot. One side of the debate has knowledge about him. .

It was only a trial and he was promoted for this game. He lacked a bit of deception and just kept dishing the ball out, but he showed his promise at the end of the game when he ran with the ball. Defenders drifted off him and he got Saints into position to score their second try. He also...

12. Luke Lough and elder brother 8. James Lough were two of Saints' best. Difficult but possible. He will be one of the exceptions. Again, I quote the JOC (James O'Connor) example and he's a harder and more effective tackler than JOC (James O'Connor) was at the same age. .

He was bigger last year as an U/16 player than James O'Connor was as an U/16 player. JOC (James O'Connor) looked like the little sister of the ball boy. .

When he leaves school? Yeah, he will probably start there but he won't stay there long. He will be too rugby-smart and rugby-useful to be parked out there. .

HH - he's only scrumhalf size but he plays big. He was only 80 kgs last year but he's chunky - all muscle. Can knock big boppers over and break tackles of bigger lads. Not to the point but Andrew Kellaway is similar in playing "big". Was 90 kgs last year but you would swear he was bigger at...

Beau Petterson - handy wasn't he?
