I sincerely hope you are right & I am proven to be wrong. I think you will find that NSW Juniors is where it would get interesting - SJRU have 2 members, Country 1 & the president being ostensibly independent. As to NSWRU, the new "Juniors Rep" is from SJRU after 2 years of schools being the...

I can think of 3 reasons why village clubs will never surrender any teams or players to any other organisation. Newport, Hunters Hill & Beecroft! Anyone know the background / club allegiance of the current SJRU board?

your 3 option assumption is flawed - the growing dogma of this thread is growing a 4th option - don't care!

Not inconsistent - do you have a difficulty with providing an elite or sub elite experience to a larger body of players from a more diverse geographic background?

I think if we are honest, the “old” 16s national Championships was a pretty big affair and frankly I’m surprised they could get it done for your reported $100k. A quick visit to their web site http://www.rugby.com.au/tryrugby/Playing/CompetitionsResults/Under16.aspx shows just what they were...

Why - because there is not a well thought out plan at square 1.

What remains to be seen is will their be lasting behavioural change as a consequence of the basketball season apropos of recruiting and sporting scholarships in contradiction of the AAGPS charter, or will the charter evolve to match modern reality.

Rugby is a game with a great history and an even greater number of traditions – because of this, change is slow and sometimes difficult. U10s do not have a state championship anymore & haven’t for a number of years. They have a gala day and districts are encouraged to enter multiple teams to...

Discussion about the length of the season are almost as futile and nonsensical as “telling” GPS & CAS what they must and must not be doing. Grounds are only available for a finite period before they revert to summer sport. Then, the charter of SJRU will be something along the lines of...

Not quite correct (at least in the U15 Sydney South Squad) - a number of TSC boys were selected and were active, but the allure of Glengary was overwhelming. I know that an informal trial was held so that the TSC boys could actually get to play before heading south.

Could just have easily have been Soccer

with schools - you guys keep muddying up the water. Schools offer sport to fulfil a curriculum obligation. And then recall, that it is rugby purely because of a chance of history. If you follow the money trail, you will see that NSWJRU & SJRU along with Country, subbies & premiership all...

Throw in Bouncing Bill Pulver & Mr Hawker & Shore wins.

we're both right - max for a game is 70, for a day in tournament play it's 90 - cheers MOTH

No its a simple 70 minutes per day - whether school or club. If a parent was silly enough to allow a child to participate on Friday, Saturday & Sunday - then that would be an adult making a foolish decision for the child.

The issue to address throughout these musings is Participation vs Performance. With the new look bank busting Junior Gold Squads, the qualification starts this year at State Champs - U14 for the end of season 15s squads & U16s for the end of season 17s squads, hence the need to keep SJRU...

I know that a number of southern / eastern suburbs clubs opted for Sunday comps in the very young ages (even before the introduction of Sydney wide comps) for no other reason than they were tired of being belted by teams made up of physically larger players. To them it was not a decision to...

I think you will find that the restriction on transfers had more to do with the creation of super teams than any other motive. In light of the current situation, I expect that SJRU will be open to alternative suggestions.

another irrefutable clue!

Actually - when the opponent is listed as "int" as opposed to TSC for all others - I think that is case proved.
