That is something I have been critical of Uni,so I couldn't help but look at the link to confirm my suspicions. Canterbury haven't updated their website,so I have no idea on their juniors. The other 2 clubs surprisingly(to me at least) have plenty of teams. Pretty impressive from a zero base!

How do they implement this when the Super franchises have them all off season?

Yeah he did,he threw a really stupid ball that SA scored from. It's like giving start when you select him. He is always good for one try against us. Apart from that ball, he actually played OK. He defended well,and given the pack was woeful,and Genia refuses to clear the ball until he is sure...

The problem under RD was they were so inconsistent. They have been very consistent since he got chopped! The problem as I see it,is the players Link relied upon heavily in the Reds setup,are not performing in Gold. His refusal to drop Genia,is a good example.

Can't wait for the presses. Dying to hear Link's view on what went wrong.

Point 1 when you apply for admission to a School you sign an extensive contract detailing your financial obligations.If some "invisible booster" was involved,would you sign a form agreeing to be liable for these fees? Especially if you are not in a position to pay them? I know for a fact,there...

Bullshit. 1. These kids are supposed to be subject to an interview process.It defies belief that that who is responsible for these fees,does not come up in this process. 2. There is no tax free structure for boosters in any country,otherwise I could be a booster for your kids,and you would...

Manly having a foundation is nice. More importantly Dave Beat has posted several times, that last year the Marlins posted a profit of$200k, and this year are predicting a profit of around $160k. If every SS club did that, there would be no tears,ever.

I would prefer that we get a kicker that kicks the ball out every time.

They need to move this event in the calendar as well. NZ has their 7's tournament in feb, and HK in March. Logic suggests somewhere in between would be an ideal time for the Gold Coast event.

I think it has more to do with opportunity.Many 7's players are pigeon holed as just 7's players. Didn't Bernard Foley on a stint on the 7's circuit? I think it's much easier for backs to play both.The mobility required to be a forward,generally indicates a lack of size when compared to similar...

I think if they moved the comp to the per season,they might attract more Schools. The ISA and CAS comps finished a month ago.The yr 12 boys are ramping up the School work now.

Very impressive bench for club Rugby,apart from Hunt who I can't see making an impact. As he has been named at 10,

Mostly forwards,with a few half backs and one winger. sort of matches their playing style. Surely that can't be a factor?

A team consisting almost totally of full time professionals,only winning the game after the bell,over predominantly a part timers team.Is not a ringing endorsement of the quality of the professionals. But as you say,the comp is actually about how much better one teams ring ins are better than...

Anyone who thinks a young bloke who is a fringe 1st or 2nd grade player, is going to travel from Emu Plains to Concord Oval twice a week to play 3rd or 4th grade in a combined club just doesn't get it. You don't need to combine the senior clubs, for the juniors to play together...

Link is pragmatic. It would have been controversial to promote QC (Quade Cooper) straight to the run on squad.There would have been too much pressure on QC (Quade Cooper) to start him in NZ,given the reception he gets there. It's not really fair on the incumbent, but is is Test footy,and the coach has the right to pick...

I couldn't disagree more. With clubs thin on the ground out west.The solution is not to eliminate 2 of them. Having nothing west of Concord oval makes no sense at all to me.

Just explain why this week,his winning percentage is a valid reason for selection,when it wasn't for the last 2 games. Edit: Bearing in mind that the coach was specifically critical of the bench players last week.

He is starting QC (Quade Cooper). He is now quoting QC (Quade Cooper)'s winning percentages as justification. Funnily enough,QC (Quade Cooper) had the same stats before the AB's games. I am tired of Link's media manipulation already.
