Who knows nothing, thismybrotha? Wait - don't answer that. I think I know.

Supporter, if you PM me the name I can check this story out with some Joeys insiders.

bwf and downer, I agree, but it would be good to avoid hearsay and put some evidence up. If you have specific examples, put it up here, with only the boy's name needing to be protected.

Cheers topo. That's good to hear. To hammer the nail in the coffin, do you want to explain the indigenous scholarship? My understanding is that they are chosen well before they've had a chance to play much high profile footy.

Just bought one. I've been married 14 years and I think it's the first time I have ever concealed the price of something I've purchased. I'm dead if she finds out I've spent $170 on a rugby jersey.

As much as I want to stick to my position on Lance, I also want to point out that RugbyFuture has done work for G&GR. He's our logo designer. Hey Lance, what do you think of the logo?

Sorry Gnostic. I'm canning this thread. We need specific discussions about games, tactics, etc. Not another general moaning thread. And I say that as one of the loudest moaners!

B&W - I think it's a bit early to put up the shutters on this issue. I think it deserves an open book discussion. G&GR has a fair bit of influence these days. If we can get a bunch of insiders to discuss what they know, we might be able to make a difference - one way or the other. Either expose...

Yeah, I tend to agree. I would have thought that the point of schoolboy rugby is to help develop the man. Not to win at all costs.

Spot on fp, spot on. I would love to see him back with the WBs, but for his own development, he's got to take a head coach job somewhere. P.S. I reckon Todd Louden would be the other person well placed to get a call from Link in 2012.

Well, that's shamateur sport for you. Same with rugby in the 1980s and early 1990s, and same in the Olympics for a very long time. I'm not sure the QLD experiment has gone that well, and it's a bloody big ship to turn around. I think they're stuck with sporting scholarships now whether they...

I reckon Link will be lining up Mooney for a job with the Wallabies in 2012. It's almost inevitable. Foley could well come back at that point, too, if he's not the head coach of Japan, or similar.

OK supporter - Joeys has a Tongan boy on a scholarship. Did he come straight from Tonga in Year 8? Or was he born here and has Tongan parents?

Mate, I haven't got time to go through the history of racism with you. Let's keep the discussion to evidence of GPS schools offering scholarships, and whether or not we agree with it.

I think we can all agree that the boys who played Joeys yesterday deserved their win. It doesn't matter who they are or what their ethnicity is, they must have played some astonishing rugby. That's great news for Australian rugby. For myself, as a CHS boy, I care who wins the Waratah Shield...

googler and bandito. I'll quote myself so you can have another go at learning how to read. It seems that: (1) You are unable to follow instructions (2) Are happy to arrive on a forum that has been going for 3 years due to hundreds of hours of my free labour and abuse me. The same will keep...

And Scotty - that stuff about Foley is awful. Jim Williams does give the impression of being a yes man.

RF - quote some text and argue against it. Or put more effort into your argument. Don't want to hit and run like this, especially against a guy providing free, independent, knowledgeable rugby commentary for us.
