Interesting that he is a winger,and it appears he replaced a centre. Is one of the reserves a centre? It shows the 2 Newington centres,who were clearly the best 2 centres by a considerable margin at the rugby trials. Didn't dominate at the Mungo trials.

I get your point, but that way it has evolved the points system serves no purpose at all. How many super players play in the SS? How many of these are at one club? Does anyone think that the points system has curtailed Uni in signing players they want, in any way?

If Parra has no points for TPN I will give up. There is clearly some middle ground between Parra not being able to field one international player, and the current status where one club has more super players on it's books than any of the franchises. If a club does not have enough room in it's...

I thought the window for an overseas gig had closed, unless he sits out a season?

KB (Kurtley Beale) is a buffalo you think?

So would I, but there a few in front of him, if he is being considered as a flanker. Ale from Manly and Killingworth from the Rats are superior IMO.

They just pick topics that don't qualify for an ATAR. Remember the gov changed the laws so that kids don't leave at yr 10 any more.So now there are any number of subjects that are designed to occupy your time.there is no educational basis for it. So effectively there are 000's of 18 yo kids in...

I would have picked the Qld kid with Lussick as the back up. He will get his chance to impress in the A's team. plenty of kids have been moved out of the A's into the top side.

I think you will find many of these boys in NSW do not sit for the HSC. Their academic result is thus not measured,and is not included in any stats. Good for the School,not so great for the kid.

Why would you need one before you are signed by a super franchise? How many first contracts are for more than the minimum? Answer very very few. Value add of a player manager? very very little.

I can accept that Cooper plays shit whenever Genia is missing. I do not accept Genia plays shit without Cooper. Link is entitled to pick his team, and to keep it intact if it is successful. He should be on a tight leash however,and unsuccessful combinations at this higher level should be...

I see nothing wrong in a school teacher calling time on a schoolboy game,that is getting out of hand. In fact I support it.

Not sure if NRL is doing fine by any measure. In the Manly A grade today, in one semi final Valley A grade played Valley a res team(they had to merge the A & A reserve comp this year, due to lack of numbers).In the other semi Narraweena played Narrabeen who have played twice in the last 7 weeks...

I don't think it's a coincidence, that this is the last round for many of these competitions.The kids have no inhibitions, they can't miss any more games,the season's over. A centralise judiciary won't change that mindset.

He did slap the pats player on the back of the head well and truly off the ball.because the pats player had first tried to take him out with a shoulder long after he had passed the ball, and then continued with a push and a shove. Strong and aggressive defence is when you tackle the ball carrier...

Strategic thinking is corporate speak for talking shit. He hasn't even identified the issues facing the game. (Apart from the fact that the winter competitors are better run).

And then you will say,no one complained about the selections before they got whipped. I am uneasy over all of this. it's not like he was appointed to the job after any real process.He has been appointed on the back of the reds performance in 2011,and his media management in 2013. He has been...

He was a barker boy, i believe. I think he was just one of those early bloomers.Everyone caught up physically, and he no longer had any advantage.

1/2 the sides make the semi's. Less than half the super players with Uni can start a semi final.

Working so well? Your argument for that is that one of the foundation Schools 1sts are now competitive with other Schools 3rds? But Sydney Boys continues to slide? Another School plays their "real" 1's against other Schools 2's with less than stellar results (with mercenaries playing in the top...
