That presumes that NSWRU controls the wagons. Hugh Jarse (& others) will likely back me here. There are too many hands on the driving wheel that is youth rugby in NSW - and they aren't always in agreement. Each school system has its own sporting association (GPS, CAS, CHS, ISA, et al). Then...

This is not as new as everybody seems to think, but it is a lot more coordinated and high profile. For the past few years there has been a Friday evening competition between private schools played between the end of the CAS rugby season and whatever came next - a bridging season if you will...

can add Trinity to that list

Those that claim to be experienced General Managers or business consultants on this forum will no doubt be familiar with the concept of a balanced score card as a decision making tool. Each judgement criteria is awarded a score of say 1 - 10 and each is further assigned a weighting, so that...

It's interesting how so many correspondents feel that it is the CEO's responsibility to set direction. In that lies so much of our current problem - the role of the board should be to set direction etc. The current form / structure is often accused of being out of touch with "grass roots...

Are we at a watershed moment? The Arbib-Cosgrove report. JON's early departure. A progressive chairman in Hawker. For what its worth, to those that say 2 seats reserved for the states or a seat reserved for a players delegate - that defeats the purpose. For it to be truly independant, it...

You lot just don't get that GPS rugby is not there to prove anything to you guys - they only care about their interschool comp and you can look to the west for the morning sun when that changes.

Pls re-read the article - he gives himself a handy escape clause - he says - "I would obviously have to discuss this with my colleagues" - so it wont be his fault it will be someone else's fault!

Is the change only for Rugby, or will other winter sports move to the new scheduling format as well? Finally, do you spell "shitfight" with one or two "t"s?

Sorry - i think you missed my point. I agree with everything you say, but when 1sts & 2nds play 2 rounds of home & away and the rest of the school plays every other GPS school once with a truck load of trials thrown in to fill up the dance card - it is mathematically possible to have a draw...

What always makes me laugh is the card carrying members of the flat earth society who poo poo anything that might threaten their precious little status quo. Adapt or perish. Anecdotally, rugby is in decline (at all levels) and we need to find ways to reinvigorate it from the ground up...

The devil will be in the detail! This has so much capacity to destroy the tribalism that was GPS rugby - the whole of school versus whole of school carnival of Saturday sport. I do not envy the poor sod whose miserable task it will be to schedule this. I'll take a bet now, that Joeys vs...

Is there a link you could post - totally surprised at how quickly the pieces appear to have fallen into place and been agreed. As to TAS playing IIIs - saw them Vs Newington 2 or 3 years ago - nice even contest. Shame of the fixture was that Newington as home team saw it as a 3rd grade game...

Isn't 2013 their centenary? If it is, would be totally gob smacked if they had made a change of that magnitude at this stage.

Any chance of posting a link?

I want a "LOVE IT" button

Could it be that NZ have developed a greater player pool than either RSA or Aust?

As i have said elsewhere - we could do worse than have Hawker as interim CEO!

I'm hearing a very strong whisper that a loss by greater than 20 points will be bye bye for dingo during the week. With JON gone / going - so to does the handshake he had with Nucifora to slip him into the top role after dingo! Where does that leave us?
