I am backing home team advantage in the closer contests, so, Easts over Parramatta in a close game. I think they are pretty even. Whoever controls possession gets the chocolates. 2's and 3's also to Easts but 3's will be close. Manly over West Harbour. Manly have been patchy so I am not...

Huh? me no x understanding

OK - the official halfway point has been reached, allowing for the wet weather round. In all 3 grades it looks like various combinations of Randwick, Gordon, Northern and Uni in a distinct leading cluster on the tables. I cannot see this changing but am open to correction if you reckon your team...

Your son played really well, but if the AICES trend holds he will spend most of his game time under the posts getting ready to chase another kick off! The 2013 Country Schools team which performed so well has a number of men playing in the higher performing Shute Shield Colts teams and some of...

I was out at St Luke's park Concord for the Uni West harbour Colts. 3rd Grade - West Harbour big boppers came out firing - consistently slaughtered the Uni scrum and crossed the advantage line easily while pulling Uni up quickly. Uni struggled to hold the ball, more scrums. West harbour looked...

This weekend Randwick over Southern by 4 tries plus, and wins in all grades Uni over Wests by 5 tries plus, and wins in all grades Easts over Warringah by 3 tries and wins in all grades Manly over Eastwood in a close one. Eastwood in 2nds and 3rds Northern over Gordon by a penalty goal. Gordon...

Are you going to take a punt on the winner? From my experience through being a Uni supporter, Northern know how to turn up for the big battles.

I saw all 3 Uni vs Eastwood games on Saturday. 3rds Eastwood were never in it from the start. I think they must have gone easily 5 minutes before they got the ball. Their scrum was pushed around until the ref got involved. Uni received a yellow card and one of their players was warned he would...

Yep - congratulations to all involved. It is a big change from just two years ago and they are playing great rugby.

Next week in Colts - Randwick vs The Corp! Randwick have rumbled everyone across all grades. Uni doing well - but not the dominant force of previous years. 1st Grade - Uni will need to do more than they have yet. Randwick have the same game strategy and have executed better. The backs will score...

6 out of 7 for The Corp vs Northern, but, Northern 1st Colts got the bit between their teeth again and knocked over Uni 1's. Well done Shoremen. Randwick must be now champing at the bit to get a go at Uni. (Notice no mixed metaphors) The Shoremen could bottle what they have vs Uni and sell it to...

"The human bye" Ouch. That will hurt. I reckon Uni might have the goods. But as you say, Norths rolled them last year. It will be a big one to watch.

Man Skelton is playing well.

Parking was easy thanks to your help. Uni are not the juggernaut of the past and both 3s and 1s were well contested, 2s blew out a bit.

No Sydney commute for me this weekend. Young bloke is out with the flu. Had a good time at Manly last week. Thanks for the parking directions.

It really has been that simple but wait until the Corp play Southern this weekend, then Northern Suburbs and Randwick. My only wish is that Pirates and 2 Blues could get in on the act. It all makes for great Rugby when they get on the paddock.

What about the Penrith 1sts Colts? Is it true?

:(

Uni will struggle badly without their previous "name' players. We lack punch in the forwards - but - the coaching staff are A+ and they will compete. The Colts are doing well and so it is not quite "The Rise and Fall of the Buildcorp Empire" but in honesty, I reckon it is Eastwood again, with...

evidence of work under way.
