You look lost Hugh, Talking about an ISA v GPS trial in a CAS thread?

The conclusion I draw, is that these two Schools are better than The CAS Schools. The other Schools in the ISA competition much weaker than the CAS Schools. Also that the CAS comp is of a more even standard than the ISA. All of it pure conjecture of course.

Rebuilding year? This year? I agree with the rotting from the head bit though.

I don't think that is fair IS, The wobs defence improved under his watch. He did a great job with Manly Marlins before that. He has the support of most people from the Force. Despite his prior history in that game. he appears to add value wherever he goes.

That's not a lie, it's a opinion. There were a couple of those games I thought they were going to win, but several I was just waiting for the coup de grace from the opposition.....And I put my money where my mouth is and bet against the tahs by betting on the run in some of these games

Forget about GPS, start a comp with divisions that goes for at least 12 or so weeks.Involve only participants in these comps to the only rep trials. The GPS Schools can suit themselves whether they join or not. But certainly aspiring Rugby players will cease joining GPS Schools later in their...

WJ, they are not close at all. They have been involved in many many tight finishes this year. But they only ever looked liked winning a couple of them, despite what the scoreline suggests.

Sorry Hugh but that is absolute rubbish. I don't anyone thinks that the $10 or $12k difference between GPS to less salubrious Schools is dedicated solely to their Rugby coaching budget. No one wants to break any institution.The most anyone is saying is that for the betterment of the game, they...

No he is having a 3 month holiday in Japan, and picking up a huge wedge on the way through. Then he is commencing with the Roosters, he is not missing any seasons in Oz/NZ to do this, it is an extra. The rhetoric might be bullshit, but he has ability. look at how defenders react to his presence...

Agree, he was unlucky not to have been called in to the ISA I's. I thought he played well in the NSW trials. Everyone knew what he was going to do, before he did it. But they still had trouble stopping him from doing it.

Semantics, the only viable option should not be that you have to play guys 2 years older to get a game of reasonable standard if you are 17. If you are 16 where do you go to play in a strong competition? That's the point.There is nowhere in either Schools or Village.

Regarding 2nds colts,I'm not sure a under 20's competition is appropriate for a 16 y/o(under17) in a city of this size. Seriously 3rd colts? Ever watched it? Even the participants know it is a joke, and say it loud and often.

The whole point would be to amalgamate all the School comps, not to add a division to the ISA comp.You don't rationalise why you would possibly exclude GPS & CAS? Still waiting for you to tell me where a 17 year old can play a full season of football in a strong competition anywhere in this state.

There's only one way to find out! Wouldn't be trying to find out against the AB's though. Shame he wasn't considered ready for the welsh games.

Well Jiggles, there were plenty of faults in his game..... But I think you are right, he continues to improve.He has come back in great form.

No one disputes that the game would be much poorer without the participation of GPS & CAS Schools historically. That's not the point. Let the GPS continue to play amongst themselves if that makes you happy, but combine every other School into a meaningful competition with divisions to enable...

Not quite, he invited the whole country to heckle him. But it didn't work out as he expected.

The point for me is that ATM the GPS system (predominantly) is corralling these elite players into their competition,insisting they ONLY play in this comp.Yet the comp goes for 5 weeks! They also insist that these elite players are not to concentrate on this sport until the school have finished...

S & C leaps out as a reason why the Tahs are constantly outperformed in the 2nd half regularly,but I also belive that they "tighten up". They have been in a position to set up for field goals or do as other teams do & play the pick & drive to ''bait'' a penalty. But they don't. That is a...

Mate the NGS is 99% GPS/CAS/ISA kids. It is not extending anything, just concentrating on whats always been there. I'm a big believer that the squad should not be elite, and should be open to anyone keen enough to attend. The GPS kids especially, are already exposed to excellent coaching and...
