Deans must know somthing we don't. Either that or he's just a fool. We really need to win this game, im losing faith in the green and gold.

"Is this not the same as a bunch of old boys providing similar assistance to a good rugby player. I really see no problem with this provided the kid is brought in year 7 and developed for the next 6 years in that particular school's environment. That being said, I have some philosophical...

Maybe they could reach a compromise whereby the sydney habour province team is run out of the Uni and has 'University of Sydney' somewhere on the jersey or adopts Uni's colours, but still encompasses players from other clubs in the province. That way Uni Sydney could stay in the shute shield...

With the way the super 15 season is to be played next year, the ARU should have the 5 super teams (Minus wallaby squad players) play each other as curtain raisers to 3n and bledisode cup games. Costs would be minimal, and it would give guys coming back from injury or from overseas, like Dan...

You're pretty much correct. Every school apart from terrace offers rugby scholarships in some way, shape or form. Traditionally BBC, Grammar and TGS have only offered the odd one, and most of the time it might only be a partial busary. But grammar's poor results over the last few seasons have...

Yes but you have to ask yourself if a kid who only attends the school for a couple of years really 'gets a GPS education'. Do you think the first thing on the schools mind when they offer a kid a rugby scholarship is how he is going to in the class room....

It saddens me that we need an independent auditor for schoolboy footy.

There was alot of talk about this in the QLD this season, and the courier mail even ran the story on there front page for about 3 days. There is so many different angles and arguements that can be made. At the end of the day, it comes down to the fact rugby is run so poorly in this country...

I dont understand why the clubs get in such a huff about this. At the end of the day, they all have to play by the same rules, and the long term beneifits of growing the game far outweigh the 5 or so players they might lose to an ARC style comp. On another note, if you were to split the qld...

Yeah I agree with the bloke above. If rugby wants to move away from its 'toff' image, I dont think having a national comp with teams like sydney uni and GPS oldboys is going to neccissarily attract the right kind of fans and players. Also can someone enlighten me as to the timing of when the...

In reguards to sponsorship, they need a major sponsor set up by the ARU who sponsors every club, and the other sponsors could just be the same sponsors as the super rugby teams use e.g. the two queensland teams could be sponsored by QR, which is the reds major sponsor, as well as Qantas, who...

True. I would make the argument that once you finish school you should be graded on ability rather than age. Mainly because some blokes dont mature untill they are 20, while some are huge at the age of 17. In general terms, it means that the smaller guys dont have to mix it with the big...

Why can't a 17 year old play u20's? Is that a law or are you just implying that at 17 years of age bloke's are not developed enough to play at under 20 level?

In regards to the colts, in theory QLD kids should be a bit younger and therefore warant the younger age limit, but alot of guys nowdays (especially rugby players) are a year older when they finish school anyways. In most cases its only really a 6 month differeance in age, and you might as...

I knew I had forgoten someone!

So idealy if the QRU were looking to expand to a 15 team comp (give or take), then you would have the current clubs: 1. Sunshine Coast (about 1 hour and a bit north of Brisbane) 2. Gold Coast (about 1 hour south of Briso) 3. Norths-QUT 4. Wests 5. Souths 6. Easts 7. Brothers 8. QLD Uni...

Robinson TPN Horwill Pocock Genia when he's on his game Cooper Ioane AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) And probably Rocky and Alexander as well. A couple of years ago I would have said Giteau for sure, but he's been off his game a bit of late. The rest are still unproven in my mind. Sharpe has been our best...

Terrace 19 - 15 BBC Pretty decent game. The ref was pretty fucking ordinary. BBC lead for most of the game, terrace scored a try after about 20 phases on the bbc line, with 10 mins to go. Terrace winger converted it from 5 metres out. Man of the match, from terrace either the winger or...
