Any speculation on NSW Schools needs to be cognisant of what is happening with the Sydney Juniors selections. There will be the traditional bunfight over selections between Sydney Juniors and NSW Schools who are essentially selecting from the same pool of kids. Although there will be fewer...

If the Reds want a Duck for a marquee five eighth, what is Stephen Donald (the Duck) doing next year. He has won a World Cup.

Ben VolvoVolvo kicked Sydney University out of the Shute Shield Grand Final Last Year. 1st GF that they haven't been in for 10 years. The bloke who penned "Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned." clearly underestimated the reach and vindictiveness of Sydney University Rugby Club...

Andrew Kellaway (DOB 12 October 1995) represented NSW Schools in 2011, 2012, and 2013. http://www.nswschoolsrugby.rugbynet.com.au/default.asp?id=183606 NSW 2nd XV no 14 in 2011 http://www.nswschoolsrugby.rugbynet.com.au/verve/_resources/NSWSRU_I_XV_1971_-_2013.pdf NSW 1st XV No 15 in 2013 NSW...

Sydney Colts U19's that played yesterday*. 1. Sean Dillion (Gordon) 2. Junior Tonga Tangitau (West Harbour) 3. Jack Bowditch (Gordon) 4. Big Randwick Boy I think. Check the socks...Andrew Davies (Warringah) 5. Jack Margin (Gordon) 6. Jum Woodhill (Randwick) 7. Unidentified player from (Randwick...

Don't get too wrapped up about the "starting number" of O'Toole. Qld teams at Nationals seldom run out there "best" team until the Thursday games, and by then the "best team" will have been hit by some injuries, or "battlers" with bench numbers will be performing so well at training and on game...

I've learned that it is best not to argue with a Queenslander about rugby. Everything that they do is awesome, always has been, and always will be, to the end of time. Best to just sit back and let the scoreboard do the talking, and even then you never beat them, you only score more points than...

You sure? I was thinking he may have been referring to Brodie Retterick's brother being recruited from the Bloos.

Have they got some former NSW Central Coast Labour Party Local Electorate Pre-Selection Membership scrutineers in charge of counting Reds memberships?

If you think that "I think a better judge of a players performance would be watching how they perform in their regular Colts matches against the Colts heavyweights as opposed to how they go in a pick up team against the Country 20's" is a complaint, complaining in a an annoying way, or...

Things seem to be going from bad to worse in Banjo HQ. Time for some strong leadership, sound and rational decision making with effective management and communication otherwise it is going to end up as pear shaped as it was down here in the Harbour City the last time we were financially bailed...

Whinging? Is challenging the assertion that the players were not new to the mix a whinge? Is suggesting that the U20 selectors would be better off viewing how the candidates perform in games against tough opponents that are laden with 20 year old men and U19 rock stars rather than in a trial...

^^ I concur that plenty come out of the School system and don't perform to expectations, and that can be for a whole variety of reasons and not just the good old chestnuts that it was because they were spoiled members of the AAGPS secret handshake club, Manu's Koala Club, or Daddy was on the...

I'd have thought that what works for IOC and FIFA would be what IRB (Still coming to terms with the pretentious "World Rugby" name) should be doing - corruption, and backhanders excluded.

Classic rant, @Blue. Much of it is equally applicable to the Leather Patch Shiraz Swillers running Australian Rugby as well. 2015 was always going to be a tough year for teams looking for a Coach, due to the RWC, and the time is right now to sack current coaches if they are not performing...

Wasn't the Daily Cherry-Evans deal also over with Manly's offer off the table and negotiations stopped? Could this be a case of deja vu repeating itself again for the second time? A statement like this from one or other of the parties can clear the decks for negotiations to start again from...

Sydney Colts U19's 1. Jakob Sedgeman (Norths) 2. 3. Jack Bowditch (Gordon) 4. 5. Jack Margin (Gordon) 6. Jum Woodhill (Randwick) 7. 8. James Lough (Gordon) 9. 10. Brock Hammond (Souths) 11. 12. Charles King (Norths) 13. Tom Molloy (Randwick) 14. Josh Nohra (Eastwood) 15. 16. 17. 18. Will...

Is Calvin Pritchard injured or does he have some commitments to the Dark Side? He had a good National Championships last year until he received a pretty bad knock to his tight IIRC in the Thursday game. There are probably some relieved centres around the country that he is not returning...

Plenty. In recent times, Hutchison, Kellaway, Jones, Roach, Lough Jnr, Crichton, McGregor.

The names you mention @10to12 would be well known to each other with many playing together through the age groups either together or against each other at Club and School competitions. My snout says one of the second rowers was Andrew Davies from the Rats. If you exclude the 2014 Aust...
