It's 6pm on a Friday in Sydney. Unfortunately you are no chance for this Test match. I hope they come good for you,with the remaining matches.

I'm a bit nervous, that despite the smiles and the mutual admiration from each. It did take over a month to sort out the semantics about responsibilities etc. Hope it works, it's good for everyone having a strong Brumbies setup.

So what? There is nothing wrong with parents trying to get their kids a leg up. But try and ring one of these Schools unsolicited. You would not get past the receptionist. In any event,those that are offered,are those that the School has scouted. And Hugh,you know that's wrong,no matter how...

You're on the wrong thread chief. This one is about cheating by offering scholarships. The GPS Glee club is elsewhere. But for the record I'm with you. The ARU should disband its development program and look in awe at the GPS boys. Of course it goes without saying only GPS old boys should ever...

I don't know about Qld,but in NSW there are very few that are up to SS level straight after School. There is a clear pathway after School,it just doesn't provide immediate riches to School leavers. Most of the kids lost to League,have actually been contracted for years before leaving School. I...

How is it one of the strongest GPS competitions so far? Two teams were significantly stronger than the rest. And whilst one team was "genetically superior" than the rest,they actually had no Rugby specific skills. The 9 whilst being a great natural footballer,and spending 4 years in the...

I think you miss the point entirely,because you are too close to it. The Schools all agreed that the they will not provide Scholarships to artificially improve the standard of their teams. What would you be saying, if say Shore chose to ignore the Under 18 rule and fielded a side with 13 or 14...

I'd pick them both,every time. Playing one of them with a different number on their back,is still stronger than any alternatives IMO.

In reality,either you are clueless or hopelessly biased. He comfortably came second in the Eales medal despite missing 7 Tests. So either he was in pretty hot form before being injured,or the Wallabies are fucked for the foreseeable future. But then you are one of the posters who continually...

Well,bad luck goes in three's, doesn't it?

I don't think SANZAR would be so inept, to allow this to happen again. Have a giggle all you like, but the facts are the Tahs had a winning percentage of close enough to 65% ex Kaplan,and a win rate of less than 10% under Kaplan. I would literally fear for the safety of any ref that had those...

I think you will find that he was bright enough to go to Harvard because he was the 5 seat in their Freshman eight!

If the answer is, that only the puny kid at the end of the boat was paying full fees,then you are approaching what Scots have done with their basketball program,and what Newington did with Rugby. You can't see the difference with the odd kid here or there,with literally having a squad full of...

....and increased the players share of the pie from 26 to 29% As a casual observer with no inside knowledge,it would appear RUPA have pulled his pants down.

RUPA have done a good job.

Why does anyone think that JOC (James O'Connor) believes he needs to win back trust/respect from Joe Public? And why would he believe he needs to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to do it? I supported the ARU's decision to withdraw his top up. Chasing euros was a logical reaction. I can't see franchises and the...

Yeah but most of his shit was harmless. I think he is paying the price to a certain extent for what his mates did before him. Unless many of his indiscretions have been hushed up. Not saying the ARU were wrong in drawing a line in the sand, just that he is unlucky when you compare his...

The problem I have with your logic is that Dr L is STILL denying offering sporting scholarships. You are suggesting that the other Schools should have taken action before it was clearly obvious that what the Dr said,could not be relied upon? The issue is to my mind that both Scots & Newington...

I don't think Quade was suggesting that he and his mates were the problem.
