    Democracy in action . Sort of speaks volumes across many fronts though eh? I can sort of understand why some schools are not rushing to prioritise Rugby in the middle of a crammed Sporting offering where the boys are deciding what they want to play , and also where , the delays being...

    Or any School with a boarding house with a lot of players from somewhere else. BGS not so much , nor TGS , but even IGS has a few NT boys (think Seamus King-Smith for example) Churchie would be similarly impacted as would BBC. I don’t think it really gives anyone a major advantage or...

    I could see Hockings getting paid a packet OS with teams prepared to take a flyer at his size and skill level (which is beyond most for a guy his size) Lucas , to me , doesn’t seem compelling or must have in the international club scene

    I do concede he had a down year in 2019. I still believe in his talent though and would be patient with him.

    @Derpus. Agree Coleman was off his peak but I take a view on him over the last 3 to 4 years ( at his still young age ) and not just the last 1 .

    Hockings skill level for a guy his size will be missed. If he wanted it enough , with his type of skill , he could be freaky - but still largely unproven. Rodda ? Yeah. He's international class and for now he and Adam Coleman are the 2 x best Australian Locks (IMO) But Issac Lucas ? Meh...

    ^Yeah I am sure the New Star aligned BBC Head Coach who applied for Jim McKay's job as Attack Coach at the Reds and failed to interview a year or so ago would be keen as mustard to get Brad Thorn along to join in the "many hands to build a village" approach. Pffff. If these clowns were/are too...

    That's him. Did he ? And if so has he agreed to a pay cut? :D

    I guess a few lock names to throw out there on the watch list are : Michael Wood (Brothers) Connor Vest (UQ) Fred Fewtrell (Easts) Vest , especially , could be a guy that comes on quicker than what some may expect. Played some NRC with the Rays and is a robust big human. The young kid from...

    ^ The clincher was being green lighted to take drop goal potshots inside the attacking half at his whim.

    @Getwithme Ultimately the buck does stop with the players. It's like a Principal in any commercial negotiation hiding behind and blaming their A Hole lawyer while they claim blameless status. Bullshit. They know what they are doing ( or maybe they don't ) but in any case they are rolling the...

    Interesting to note who represents the biggest name on this list and who I think represents one of the others too. Don't think it is a co-incidence.

    Yeah would prefer not to say who at the moment and see if the mainstream press pick it up or whether there is ability /preference to keep this in house until resolved.

    Ah yes ........Pasitoa was the obvious miss. I was thinking back to a conversation on a GPS thread from a couple of of years ago when the question came up and whilst I have never heard of Cayden Matehaere I do recall there was basically bugger all names on the list , which , if memory serves, at...

    Well if the suggestion is true that there are a few schools that don't even want to play (for whatever their reasons are) then streaming becomes a moot point. If BGS do decide to play, if, all government approvals are held- I'd be stunned if they permitted streaming involving their home games.
