    A shout out to one of the AIC/TAS's best ever .........SLC's - Cooper Cronk , who announced his retirement today. The word legend gets thrown around a lot but this guy wears that tag with ease. Interestingly , the SLC Sports Master at the end of CC's time as a Schoolboy , enquired of the...

    What makes you think Lauries gave up ? I don't think that is fair or accurate . MCA had a few breaks or half breaks down the stretch - most notably on the left wing that looked promising . Lauries cover to snuff it out was pretty good. For the fact they don't have a closer in their backline...

    Maybe in some ways the match of the season could be MCA and Villa instead of MCA and Lauries Hamish Muir and Floyd Aubrey young head to head as 2 guys capable of turning any game on its head Aubrey has a deeper supporting cast behind him and Villa don’t have the set piece dominance of SLC. But...

    You are correct sir. I was down the other end where it looked like a fumble but no one else on that field scores that try other than Aubrey. Also correct that missed cleans by the Lauries boys were contributory to that opportunity. Full marks to the MCA boys in making Lauries pay

    MCA’s defense was very good and they had an edge in the on ground game - both teams winning turnover ball , although , MCA seemed to be able to do it at critical moments to snuff out whatever momentum SLC could muster . However , it is a marvel that MCA will likely be undefeated premiers with...

    Yeah tend to agree . Too much pressure on Lauries I think . Works in MCA's favour

    It will be a good match to have a look at The Lauries scrum is very good and their lineout is also very good . I reckon they have Marist licked in both categories here. Lauries have some good go forward running but Marist are always better drilled defensively and on ball than every other AIC...

    Really good point . You could have 3 or 4 “ studs” in your backline that are superficially pleasing and the best Prop in the age group but may not get much of a look in elsewhere because you’ve got your “quota” ( unofficial ) and a seeming policy of diversity for flag flying sake in non core...

    You know .....strip away all the bullshit and just let the boys sort it out on the field. Outside of all the frustration as to how some things are done at the end of the day the boys know amongst themselves as to what is what . If the kid really wants it they will keep going - fuckery aside...

    Depends on the game but maybe 20% of what's attending Reds Games but where it's all gravy and able to be leveraged better as opposed to getting killed on numbers that can't be hit

    Thanks for clarifying wendpt - I always thought it had to do with WW2 - but the theory makes sense

    Interestingly , Lauries was a member of the GPS up until the 2nd World War but the school ( and I think the Somerville campus ) was taken over by the armed forces during WW2 If anything, Terrace should be donning our colours in tribute
