Ok thanks , probably makes more sense.

Either they are short on player numbers looking at team lists for all colts grades or some boys missed out on game times. Does say a lot how well prepared the players are physically to be able to sustain 320 minutes of game time with only 1 reserve used..(according to rugby link results). No...

Congrats to the Corp . 1 reserve used for 1sts and 2nd grade colts over 2 weeks. Feel sorry for the lads waiting for some game time .;)

Were they nominated by the clubs?

Agree, he provided a great service with the Jarseometer, or maybe SRU could get their latest software fixed... . Looking forward to seeing the outcomes of the points system. Would be a couple of nervous clubs if an injury replacement is required during a game. Nothing like living on the edge...

Absolutely agree, select on form not reputation.

[q As an aside, do you really think a season in club football would be better for McCauley's development than playing XVs? In the last 2 years he has played bugger all rugby at all. Lots of training with the Tahs EPS , however not a lot of game time elsewhere. Just thought it would help him...

Why would you have McCauley in there at all? Despite being the next big thing has been sadly outplayed in all games this year (even by Piroddi who i feel sorry for in a way missing out). The fallacy around having tall timber to win line outs was put to rest by the Queensland team on the weekend...

Maybe I was dreaming that something like this would happen in NSW to focus on growing the game. The program will see every Melbourne Rebels contracted players assigned as an ambassador to a local rugby club, where their role will vary from playing for their club, attending functions, junior...

What a great concept by the Rebels in dividing up their playing roster and sending them back to clubland. Imagine if the Waratahs did this... http://www.rugbynews.net.au/melbourne-rebels-send-entire-squad-back-to-clubland/

Students who are enrolled for a Mathematics / Statistics degree will be invaluable ;)

Don't think at this stage there is a points allocation for Tahs 20's....

Nope, spoke to him today . The only adjustment is 2 schools and 1 Baa Baa The recruits are all new for 2017

Agree, he was looking very good for much higher rep honours.

Its not the turning of players away that is the issue, the issue is the inducement through promises of rep careers, cars ,cash and accommodation (as people have mentioned on this forum)......for COLTS players to leave their original club which is the issue. Then try and change the points...

Got me thinking so did a quick count on the current gen Blue 20's side which took the field last weekend - Randwick - 8 Uni - 7 Easts - 2 Warringah - 2 Norths - 1 Manly - 1 Souths - 1 Country - (Bradford) unless he has moved to Sydney A mate also attended the Syd Uni colts trial on the...

Ledesma helping to coach really? Wow good initiative from Waverley probably dispels some of the discussion of resource inequity between Williams and Cornish however. Did OJ assist as well?

Thats about the standard quota over the previous 2 years so no major difference. There will always be surprises and controversy with selections.

There is also a young lad by the name of McGregor at the Rebels who will probably put his hand up for the 10 jumper....if all goes to plan post rehab

Not just the private schools, St Augustines and Westfield Sports have been known to utilise this over the past few years..
