People forget that Pat played well at 15 before being drafted to 12. Because he was asked to play a one dimensional role,does not mean that was his limit.

NSW A have had good strong games against Brumbies & Samoa,got beat by Argies today,with plenty of full contracted players on the field. It's been great in Sydney.

It was the authors analysis of possible team lists.it was nothing official. So either the author forgot about Peterson,or thinks there are better players than him currently playing Shute Shield in one or more of the Northern clubs. In any event,I'm sure he listed both Neville & Walton,both you...

So how many are still boycotting? What will it take to bring peace in our time?

Money doesn't lie. The general consensus is that you guys are the weakest team in the comp by some margin. Could work out well for you,if you are right, and put your money where your mouth is. It is not arrogant to have the same view as the majority.

I reckon it's the latter. He is anticipating a fucking big arm wrestle. Win that,then bring on some speed later in the game.

St Ives I think

Yeah that's him,played juniors with the Rats,think he played off the bench NSW Schools in 2008. At least one of the locks suffered a head knock last week I heard.

If it is clear,that all rep jumpers in the future will come out of the JGC process,the kids will vote with their feet. Regardless of what the Schools tell them. There is no need for a revolution,just a well articulated statement on the development/rep selection process.

Aren't GPS boys involved in these jGS games ATM?

I disagree. If all the kids knew that next years rep jumpers were being selected out of this JGS comp,they would all participate. I am not suggesting GPS kids should not be selected,because they go to a nice School. I am suggesting that they should trial in a North West team or whatever,not a...

Changing it from Schoolboys to U18,changes the path to selection. ATM 2 rounds of AAGPS games,followed by a semi opposed session in GPS3's gets too many a NSW jumper. Selection in GPS 1's is virtually a guaranteed selection in the NSW side. One starting player for NSW1's was not selected for...

I read your stats about numbers,and I don't come to your conclusion that we would be stuffed without them. I think we are stuffed because of them. The game needs to diversify/broaden the base. The ARU needs to expand on the JGS or whatever they call it.That should be the only pathway that...

I don't think it's a developmental thing,more of a style thing. Obviously it suited Link for him to play as wide as he did. But to the untrained eye,he seems more impressive playing tighter.

The Rebels Higgers,is a far superior animal to the Reds Higgers IMO

Yeah,but the landscape has changed. In the good old days,anyone could run a small/ medium sized club and deliver a consistent profit. These days it appears to be a very difficult business to run.Mounties & Panthers continue to absorb these smaller clubs,or they go to the wall. I would hazard a...

Ok I'll bite. 615,000 participants. 230,000 participants took part in competitions or structured Rugby programs. If 400,000 ish participants did not take part in competitions or structured programs,how the fuck did they participate?
