Understandable with the opens, if the other clubs can pull Wallabies/Super players from a hat at the business end of the season then why shouldn't they. Not that that makes it right. I agree with the idea for the colts. Although I'm not sure how many other Sydney Uni students are playing...

Thoroughly agree, I know someone who got a good HSC mark and is presently a student at Sydney Uni, he played a couple of years of 1st XV at a GPS school (no, not Grammer or High) he was told he could try out and hope to make the 3rds. He ended up at another club in 1sts, had a great season and...

The other thing with schoolboys rugby is that "gasp", some kids go to school to learn and not particularly aim for rep honours. The amount of kids who take pathways when they are doing it simply to build a better rugby resume to use as leverage for their possible professional career is...

Did I just describe the ARC?

I think the Sydney clubs, along with possibly the Canberra and Brisbane ones, have too many teams (1st through 4th opens and down to 3rds in colts) to warrant such an expansion. If this was to be for real maybe the top two opens and top colts maybe would travel, or possibly just the 1sts for...

Sounds like a good run. If you're the littlest guy on the field you're going to have props run at you all day, keep the chatter up in defence so you're not isolated. And with the cheap shots, I'm sure you know that no cheap shot, no matter how painful, hurts (at least not to the oppositions...

Lot's of talking to your team mates, they'll want to see your organization skills if you are playing those positions. Try and get more than one runner in motion so you're not just shoveling it to someone else but making the defence have to watch you more, that gives you more time with the ball...

I guess you are a Scribe fan, just kidding. For a colts sevens comp? $15 tops. Just have footy and no band. But it's a fair point you made about making choices, et cetera, my choice has been made. Like I said will be interested to see how many people show up.

As a relative of a player on Saturday who has watched him play every game this season I feel I'm getting gouged. Do you honestly believe that that is a fair price? I'll be interested to see how many people show up, I won't.

At $27 bucks a head you'll be "selling" lots of schooners of water.

Yeah, I think they are robbing family and friends so that someone at Easts can play "promoter". Have a relo playing want to go and don't all at the same time.

Exactly, Kurtley Beale is a perfect example, vaunted as the next big thing, he bypassed colts and club rugby from Aus schoolboys and found it much harder to carve up hardened professionals who had played a few years of club rugby, 20 weeks against 8, than everybody thought. He ended up warming...

In the 3rds

The first 20 minutes was all Easts, the last twenty minutes Easts seemed to run out of puff.

Good call 33-30 Wicks

Easts v Randwick @ Concord Eastwood v Warringah Woolahra next Sunday

I think it's a bit rich someone from Uni questioning if kids are rugby mercenaries or not.

Shouldn't that be on the good refs thread?

Fair enough, just wondering.

What constitutes a scholarship at Uni anyway? How many of these kids actually study at the school?
