Beard ... Agree the top 3 teams are playing outstanding rugby and are a pleasure to watch, problem is it is now a 2 tier comp really, recruiters and Joey's versus the rest. Also Scots would have another 50 points in the "FOR" column if they didn't take their Aussie rep players off in the 2nd...

New going like a lot of schools in depth with soccer and AFL coming in,not looking too promising for the future of Australian rugby really. Part of problem maybe the recruiting which has had lots of airtime, as kids getting dumped after playing years in the A's then dropped the last two years...

2015 maybe the new 2006 !! The next 3 weeks could be a turning point in Shore's rugby future, Scots , Newington, Joey's ...OUCH !They should have Corbett back next week for New, If the coaches want to fix up the defence they would bring Sam Allen up from 2nd's, who should have been 13 all...

Well said Brainstrust, spot on .... Having watched Shore for many years i have seen the decline and also frustration the boys have had with Shore's lack of structure and poor coaching. Shore are not a big strong team but a passionate one. A major problem has been the continual selections of...

That's because 2nd's and 3rd's are well coached. To be a good coach you have to be a good selector,the 1St XV coaches seem to do neither well.2nds and 3rds are also 8 players down but perform well most weeks. The next few weeks get worse with Scots ,New and Joey's. The boys are really...

A given Kings totally out classed a weakened and poorly structured Shore Team , and were a pleasure to watch.They are a very well drilled and balanced team with no big name superstars( although the #8 Pietch is close ) ,with class across the paddock with no weaknesses. However i doubt whether...

The ONLY " pies" coming out of the Fields of Northbridge are from the canteen. the poor first XV couldn't score at training the way they played last week against Kings.

Shore are in all sorts of trouble with injuries this week with 2 or 3 players likely being sidelined this week. Unfortunately they were hopelessly out classed up front last week with the Kings pack totally dominating at the breakdown. The backrow certainly missed the toughness and impact of...

Clearly" Not in Straight" does not have a child in Shore rugby program,or is looking through rose colour glasses to make those comments. Those that do and have had know what a poor program they have had,specially with pre season training which left them VERY vulnerable to injury and that had a...

I think "Cash's" previous post where he stated Coaches are basically irrelevant to the teams performance if you have the cattle is way off the mark.How many coaches in all sports both junior and senior have we seen teams fortunes turned around because of the quality of the coach... too many to...

Things just got worse for Shore if that's possible. Their tough and most dominant forward #8 James Doyle is out for season with a shoulder injury. Their best defensive back the tall Jock Armstrong out for a few weeks with cheekbone injury. It was a totally undisciplined play against Joey's...

Not in Straight , you cant be thinking straight ! i like you enthusiast outlook for a Shore upset win ,but really they have no chance. As of Wednesday Shore had made no changes to the team(pity),except hopefully in attitude! The Shore mid field were turnstiles last week,and Wright will have a...

Shore can expect another hiding this week if they start slowly again as they have the last two games.The Shore backs didn't see the ball the first 20 mins,and had hardly any at all the first half. However the Newington mid- field (10,12 ,13) found little resistance mid field and strolled through...

Joeys to win comfortably by 15 too much pace out wide and will smartiung after last weeks loss to New., Scots were humming last week and should win easily,too many match winners in the team , View will have a go but will run out of puff chasing all those Aussie schoolboy reps.,Newington in a...

Tips should be easy this week on form, New, Joeys and Scots, but we know that formula rarely works. I think Kings and Joeys will be closest and best game of the weekend. Looking forward to the Newington team's entertaining play to continue this week end.Could be a cricket score if Shore don't...

Duly noted inside shoulder ,letter sent !!

Shore were beaten before they ran on last weekend,they seemed totally in awe of the Scots top guns,who really came out firing from the kick off. Scots defencive line speed was superb and the Shore inside backs couldn't cope and had no plan B or C or D to combat this. Shore needs some dramatic...

My tips next round are Scots easily over Shore by 30, Newington by 6 over Joey's , Kings by 2 over Riverview. NSW 1's to win Interstate carnival, Horton, Gittoes ,McCauley ,McGregor, Kennewll, Sepesa Tarogi, Strang. and Wright all to make Aust schools squad even with an all Queensland Selection...

Gents ,since Adam was a boy playing rugby and not interested in Eve ,selectors have always favoured their own locally known players. Like Bob Dwyer picking Glen Ella at fullback instead of Roger Gould or Mark Ella over Paul McLean .These coaches /selectors have so much faith and know their games...
