How many Waratah and other Pro Players will be parachuted into Shute Shield this weekend? This is where I think the non-Wallaby Squad Pro's are aligned (less those that are off overseas like McKibbin, Betham etc): Eastern Suburbs Tala Gray (already Playing) Mitch Chapman Southern Districts...

For some, "graduating" to the "pay to play" Under 20's is welcomed because it is a lot less of a hit on the pocket than annual raid on the bank account colloquially referred to as school fees.

^^The levy for the National Schoolboys Tournament has gone from approx $350 last year to approx $750 this year. Junior Gold Cup is about $660. It is an expensive business to be a "talented" rugby player.

Do not forget that there is a lot of football to be played between now and September, including an entire QLD GPS competition, most of the NSW AAGPS, 4 rounds of Sydney Colts and finals, 1/2 the CAS and a fair chunk of ISA. Players will get injured. Shadows will be called up. Players will...

Gregor George Cup (Club Championship) Watch: It is getting tighter at the top as the usual suspects jockey with their positions and consolidate their lead at the top of the table. There is now 81 (LW 25) points separating the top 3 clubs. There is also one hell of a scrap for places 7-10 with 84...

Eric Spilsted Shield (Colts Club Championship) Watch: The Gallopers maintain a lead of more than 1 round of maximum points on The Corporation and it should prove to be unassailable. In turn, the Corporation has established a lead of more than a rounds maximum points over the Shoremen in third...

^^^ Never underestimate the ability of some to find conspiracy. Two yet to be named for Barbars. Hugh's Law says that there will be replacements. There is an entire season of QLD GPS Footy, and 8 rounds of NSW AAGPS footy to go, and a few NSW ISA and NSW CAS rounds left. Some of the...

ASRU squads to be announced later today. By all means debate the relative merits of the selections, but do so objectively. Use the thread that is linked below if you want to put your tin foil hats on and unravel the details behind the secret masonic deals done by the biased and blind...

Aust Schools and Aust Schools Barbarians to be announced later today. Post here if you feel the ASRU Squad Selectors have worse eyesight and more bias than a very biased vision impaired person. Astound others with your ability to identify the influence of the ARU folk who are out to...

5/6 last week and close on most of the margins. Round 15 Tips The wild card may be the return to Clubland of the Super Rugby players. Some will, and some will not due to R&R requirements. Not many have been included in the official team lists compiled on Wednesday, but we all know how...

^^^ Don't forget that 11 (BBC), 13 (BBC), 14 (TSS), 15 (BBC) in Qld1 are not from AIC schools. @Blue & White, Why are you discussing them here? You should be proud of those boys performances at National Championships but in terms of this thread, it is irrelevant.

Tipped 3 1/2 out of 5 last week after claiming the almost draw as a 1/2 point. Finally got a tip right for the Beasties, and one club who's official nickname is the same as an Outlaw Motor Cycle Gang under performed. Round 15 Tips Randwick v Eastern Suburbs. Beasties are coming good at the...

Does that mean he has been released from the Aust 7's squad? If he is still in the 7's programme, I'd imagine that the commitment requirements to the 7's programme would mean that he wouldn't be available to the Waratahs for much of the Super Rugby season.

When it was too wet at School for Phys Ed to be done outside, we had to learn the Gay Gordons, Strip the Willow, Waltz, quick step, Foxtrot, and several other dances with names that have been forgotten.l That has not gone unnoticed by anyone who has spent time browsing through Rugby News...

Further he did not start in the No 8 position in the NSW II key game against QI. The Coaches selected 6, 7, and 20 as their loose forwards to start in that match. McLennan did not miss the start through injury because in the second half, he came on from the bench for NSW II. That indicates...

That is true about the Under 19 law variation, however there are plenty of players that would be classified as being Under 19s that are playing rugby under Senior Rugby Laws In Sydney, Colts 3rds competition is played under the Under 19 Law variations, while Colts 2's and 1's are considered to...

Fair cop. References have been removed, but for your information, it is not my favourite name for that oval. I have personally used the "officially approved" name for that park on over 50 occasions. The name that shall no longer be used had been used in single digits. Hardly my favourite name...

Good theory. A lot of time in front of the selectors is wasted during the 90 seconds allowable for a kicker to take their shot at goal. However... ... ... The unintended consequence of this will be lazy forwards not releasing the ball or the tackler or staying offside - doing whatever it takes...
