Draw is usually only finalised in the week prior

Nup - unless the 2 teams involved (even clubs) are stupid enough to do it again

need to give more detail than that so we can check & confirm.

I still contend that your expectations are too high - several of the breaks by Trinity 1, 12 & 15 were powerful or illusive breaks - not examples of poor defence, similarly the breaks by Waves 10. To those who say McLennan was yellow-carded for a fairly innocuous tackle (that did involve an...

@Brumbiejack - such contempt and anger for schoolboys - a session of self flagellation must surely be in order! Lighten up pal! There was poor play on both sides yes, but also some impressive attack & defence as well as structured play leading to extended passages of entertaining play.

thanks tom waterhouse

Now that be the $64,000 question. In its simplest form It needs to recognise that their are (in broad terms) participant players & performance players, so it needs 2 channels with regular opportunity to move between the 2 The processes surrounding the move between participant & performance...

The correct title for the State Champs are NSWJRU Age Championships - the obligation of NSWJRU is to organise a tournament for the betterment of its constituent members - SJRU & Country Juniors. Yes the structure of rugby is outdated and overcomplicated and it was like that in 2000 (and...

You left out e. Subbies Colts Said it before, and for the slow kids amongst you, I'll say it again - need to rationalise / consolidate 16s & 17s from 3 sources - SJRU / Subbies Colts / Prem Club Colts. Not enough players to effectively manage in 3 silos. And forget the schools! As long...

Yet you take the time make such a wasteful observation, after taking the time to read all the other posts. Curious?

I've heard a certain Trinity run away try was called back (St Pats quick line out throw gone wrong) and ended up being a pats free kick - my 2 snouts at the ground were bamboozled (one is NSW ref) - anyone know what happened?

QH / please print this out & post it to SJRU Committee. Perhaps the best summary of the circumstances - the old system had its flaws but it did work. Maybe the "best" outcome would be a blend of sydney wide & geographically local comps.

All I'm hearing is discontent - unannounced forfeits / no shows - referees failing to appear - the draw being distributed later than even the poor standard that is normal for SJRU, the draw still being meddled with as late as Friday. A shambles as one old head described.

Don't read too much into early season trial form. Certainly Waves, Trinity & Barker might have expected better but Shore & Newington are probably not the 2 GPS Rugby schools to make others quake in their boots. All that aside - Knox would have to be shaping as favourites - but in 16s last year...

You flatter Trinity by promoting them to "average". It will be a long season for the Green Men if they don’t sort out some of their combinations a bit better. As to more fight – please no – Trinity XVs have been notorious over the years for losing the plot & lacking discipline.

Team Lists for Saturday???? Fact not speculation please.

All well & good - but who do you bump out from the quoted list?

Word is that Southern Districts were considering applying to enter the Illawarra competition to get a few barbarian teams up, so the traffic may yet be 2 way!
