How many clubs approach current Colts players and offer them incentives to move? How many clubs write to 16yo's? The strongest club in the comp should not be stooping to these levels to maintain their dominance.

I'm happy for you guys to recruit as many as you can use from over here. I just don't get the fascination for recruiting rejects from South Africa or discards from League etc.

Hugh, you make it sound like Uni just mind their own business, and through no fault of their own,All these schoolboy stars,and high profile Wallabies turn up unannounced looking for a game. That's not how it happens.

He was a regular starter/star when the Tahs signed him.Which is more to the point about Foley having a knack of picking up SA talent. If he can't successfully coach identified talent from there,what hope is he of successfully coaching their discards?

I would have thought the fact that he is talking about 20,seriously changes the logistics of it all. One here one there from the East are easily digested within their current system,importing 20 means some serious support network. In any case,Foley's track record in successfully...

What a clown. On what basis are South African players rejected by their 5 franchises,better prospects than Australian players rejected by their 5 franchises? last I heard it's much easier/cheaper to resettle Australians from the eastern seaboard than to obtain visa's etc international airfares...

I think that is an excellent, and well deserved selection. hope he goes well.

Mate,Severei played till he was 40,so did Rush. Benji has been a pro athlete for over a decade.He will be fit enough, if the training regime is up to speed.I am sure that it will be.

I didn't say all of his invites were undeserving.I thought Volavola deserved his spot.There were plenty that didn't however.

I think you might overate the degree of difficulty playing 7's. Benji would eat that game up. The doubters should look at who represent us in 7's.They have been picking 3 or 4 kids straight out of school.You will never convince me these kids are stronger defenders than Benji. Line up the South...

Boyd would be about the 14th choice as captain! so it's not that. If the idea is not to pick the best SS players,what is the purpose of the tour? If it's a development tour,why aren't they developing the best performed players? It's a little like the invites to train with the Tahs last summer...

WTF kenny. You commuting to and from Broken Hill? You must spend plenty of time on the trains!

He is quite successful at doing that. The trick for him is to be able to do that when he is no longer physically dominant over his opposition.

Your first instinct should be to react to the defence. It's like a 3 on 2 drill.you don't make up your mind until the defence makes a decision, then you decide based on their actions/positioning.

Why the need for player scapegoats after the coach has been sacked? The coach got the blame didn't he?

it's not the way it's going. It's the way it has gone.

I have spoken to one of the parents,whose son was enrolled in yr 7. He is happy to tell anyone that they pay Zero fees. That a 12 yo was targeted and approached is a disgrace. Scots have been very active in providing Scholarships to sportsmen in sports other than Rugby.I know personally families...

How is picking someone in a Test team throwing them to the dogs? Or is it your rule of thumb,that anyone not fit this week should NEVER be picked the following week.

Tremendous! What does the NSWRU do again?

Are you forgetting New had 11 mercenaries at the Oz champs this year? Interestingly to me, if you were to take just the 2 centres out.leaving only 11 or 12 imports are they still a grade above the rest of the comp?
