Only thing to add AS, would be to clarify that High will be playing against the same school that play Waverley so High will be playing lower grade/lower age group teams and not in for mismatches.

I notice that the council highlighted that they had spent $3 million on the facility with no financial cost to the club. Can't really see Easts getting any more than a token amount in compensation from them. They'd be better advised to just highlight what they missed out on and maintain a good...

Probably a fair indication of where things are. I think at least we could say that their aspiration is to move to a growth area such as Castle Hill/Rouse Hill etc, which is probably what they announced a couple of years back rather than a definitive move. IMO a very good thing for the club...

I just went back and had a look at page one of this thread. It seems to me that most of the 341 pages involve exactly this, in fact the thread was set up for this purpose and to remove such discussion from the main schoolboy threads and quarrantine it here. You may have also noticed that the...

I think that's what they are doing. IIRC they announced a couple of years ago that they were moving to the Castle Hill/Dural area.

Is the surface 100% synthetic, or is it like some grounds in Britain and France which have natural grass and synthetic fibres interwoven? As ever, the RFU are all over this with a huge expansion in the number of synthetic pitches recently...

Thanks for that. Seems odd that Shore would want to play Waverley twice. Maybe there are no real groups but just a sequence of inter-association trials. I think it's a pity that New won't play Knox this year - was a great day last year all through the age groups.

From what I gather, the pre-season/trial season/whatever name people want to give, it has schools in two broad groups. Based on the Newington draw, the following schools are in one of the groups and will play each other in trials. I presume that schools not mentioned below are in the other...

Never said you were

First of all, I never suggested that anyone at Waverley was or wasn't paying anything, you seem to have concocted that from somewhere else (possibly another poster). You made a completely false assertion that I had cast some sort of slur on the Waverley 1sts, when I was very clearly talking...

At least at Northbridge, they're calling them leadership scholarships and not trying to pretend that the recipients are either a) uniquely intelligent or b) musically talented. I'll be interested to see how many "leadership scholars" end up as student leaders (i.e. School Captain/ Senior...

No we don't, but we do know that the boys at Marcellin pay half the fees as the boys at Waverley for better academic results. (which you seem to acknowledge in your post, so I assume that you're not contesting that :))

How lucky that Waverley had so many vacancies in the year group.;)

It is if you are paying twice the fees.;)

An arrival at North Parramatta in Year 10 from St Augustine's. Manly SG Ball/whatever they call the comp rep.

I know, which is why I find it fascinating that you want to keep it going - particularly when you seem to find it so annoying and claim it's nothing of substance. I made one post and left it. Since that point I've simply replied to other people - you'll note that I haven't engaged in a war of...

If people disagreeing with you causes you frustration, then the internet is a place to avoid.:) Please advise how your "understanding" stems from a source any more or less reliable than others. Or are you forming this understanding on what you have learnt from a variety of secondary sources...
