It sounds like a retirement village for ageing crossword creators but, if not, Hugh Jarse gets special dispensation. Like Bill Shakespeare he is allowed to make up new words. .

Guys with 50+ postings. Can you please advise if there are any wind-ups in the last two pages. Anyone guilty of wind-ups will get a long ban. Geez I hope that doesn't get a wave of wind-ups .

A typo (which I am no stranger to). Just as well you didn't type 2rds - they're not that bad. .

But who will be grinning? .

I wish Lachie all the best. Uninjured he is a top player but the clipboard guys could be a bit nervous about him. I've been around the Waratahs quite a bit and there's one thing for sure: he will be one of the best team men wherever he goes. .

That was serious sucking up RedsHappy. Keep it up. .

I suggest an upgrade in people reading the forum rules especially post #8 in this link: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/rules-of-the-schoolboy-forum.5407/ I have done a few moves of posts in prior years but it was counter-productive because then people knew they could...

They hardly kicked a ball from hand yesterday Rock. Part of that was their predilection for running the ball at all times, but another part was that the star player of their opponents was Ben Cotton, a considerable fullback in a year of excellent NSW Schools fullbacks. They didn't want him...

It's good to see Greg Norman doing his bit coaching the 4ths.:) Well done Shark !!

OK - we are talking about scholarships again. Do that in the scholarships thread. Any further posts that touch on it, or quotes somebody who does the same, even in one sentence, will be zapped. No it's not a democracy. .

It's possible— after all, they are two of the best schoolboys backs since Beale (note the words "of the")—and I have spoken before about the possibility of warehousing them. However, you need your EPS guys to be ready to run on and you can't clog up the EPS with too many players who are well...

A couple of injuries can make nice prognostications seem silly in hindsight. Sometimes you have to take a punt on young players even if it appears that you are over-egging the pudding when they are recruited. No doubt this time next year the Rebels or other franchises, will be discussing the...

Nice try Braveheart, but I don't think you would have fooled too many Rebels clipboard guys. David Horwitz has been defending OK in the Shute Shield games I have seen on TV this year and he would have to be a better defender than KB (Kurtley Beale) was when he was the same age - or even a year older. He held...

I did a blog on the match here Rock: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/st-augustines-win-waratah-shield-for-fifth-time/ .

He is showing the promise he had at school. Some lads show it the year after, and some take 3-4 years to adjust to the senior scene - some never get to the elite level they did at school, especially the forwards. From watching him on TV it looks like Maile is somewhere in between. That's...

Me either - my ''maybe" was whimsical - there is just too much of it: as though refereeing was the most important thing in the loss in Bled 2. It wasn't. .

Edit - you beat me to it HJ The greater danger was to allow discussion on the matter in the normal schools threads. We found out three years ago that in isolating the virus of scholarship discussion in this thread, and banning it in all the other threads, it reduced the level of acrimony in...

Some folks might know that I spend a bit of time in the Schoolboys forum and have to do a bit of moderating. Some of the schools rugby threads used to deteriorate because people talked about scholarships or other nefarious recruitment practices of some schools. People got emotional about the...

OK so more than a couple of years ago - they were 2009. Cummins was tall but he partnered Browning in 2010 and Browning was a short-arse; so to say that pair was taller than the Wallabies that year is a bit of a stretch. :) .

No way - two years ago the Oz Schools props were Browning and Wells who who were 193 cms and 195 cms respectively - and Wells was only 96kgs. Deam Mumm was about the same height as Wells but he was a lot heavier. You are probably thinking of the Hills Sports High scrum of 2010 which...
