True and Unfortunately some of the frogs leave the pond before they get the opportunity to leap or (even more unfortunately ) some don't even make it into the pond in the first place! More frogs I say!!!!!

Couldn't agree more and a recent conversation I had with another club revolved around the concept of rock star players who reach their absolute rugby peak in year 12. Even when placed in the best program in the country they lack the physical potential to become more than what they were in year...

Thanks Dave see below. Lots of comments on the Penrith Facebook page too from across the Sydney Rugby Community... My name is Pauli and I am the Director of Colts and 1sts Colts Head Coach at Easts. I just wanted to write to you and thank you for Saturday. I explained to my lads after the...

It's a conspiracy so uni don't have to play Penrith again until we meet them in the GF!

Round 7 Penrith vs Easts Colts 2 Penrith 26 def Easts 24 Colts 1 Easts 70 def Penrith 5 Yes the above is true. The PDJRL decided have no matches on Mother's Day and as such we had 6 -8 unavailable. On top of that the finals of SG Ball & Harold Mats cost us another 2 or 3. Then a couple of...

That's a pity. It's not a particularly difficult concept. In fact it's just another box next to the players name on the team sheet and match result webpage. Oh well perhaps that's another item to bring up at the "Colts specific - All clubs planning meeting" to be held later this year to...

Do referees award player points in premier colts like they do in subbies first grade so that an overall player of the year can be awarded? If so where are they recorded and whose winning? It would also be good to see who's performing well "week in and week out" across the whole comp.

Like to add my support to you too GPSrow! Keep up the good work building the Gordon colts programme and fighting the good fight!

Round 6 with Penrith Colts Colts 2- Parramatta 43 def Penrith 5 Colts 1 - Parramatta 43 def Penrith 17 Full credit to Parramatta who were a very professional outfit and well prepared. However, our boys were as flat as tacks and certainly didn't embrace the seniors approach to this fixture...

Thanks pine Cone, You turn your back for 2 minutes! I wasn't there as we had the district muster for u11 - u17 rep teams at Nepean rugby park. I'll have to check the video and have a chat to a few players & coaches. Cheers Cattledog

Thanks Hound, Obviously the regulation & compensation system would be based upon clubs being able to prove exactly what development activities & investment has actually gone on in a players past. However, that would not be difficult for the hard working junior districts of which you speak. For...

I've always believed that "he who controls the document controls the argument" and feel that the area of compensation for junior development when players change unions & the protection of clubs who invest in junior development is sadly neglected in the SRU Competition guidelines & documentation...

Thanks Gavin some of your members may like the colts photos on the Penrith DJRU Facebook site of yesterdays games. https://www.facebook.com/PenrithDistrictJuniorRugbyUnion Hopefully if we keep improving our culture & performance then the players who have looked for greeener pastures will...

Week 4 - Penrith Colts vs Randwick Colts 2 - Randwick 58 def Penrith 5 (I think). Randwick too slick and rugby smart for the Penrith lads. However, a full squad of 23 players took the field for Penrith and played some good passages. Colts 1 - Randwick 48 def Penrith 17. The Penrith boys...

All Penrith Juniors (& anyone looking for an Easter Rugby fix) can head down to Emu Park tomorrow to watch the Penrith DJRU U20's take on Randwick in Premier Colts. Colts II kick off at 1.20 and Colts I commences at 3pm. Colts I will be looking to impress again after extremely solid...

Congratulations to all the juniors named in the Penrith DJRU U11 - U16 rep teams for the NSWJRU Championships on the June Long weekend. Keep up to date with all the news and events on the Penrith Facebook site and web page.... https://www.facebook.com/PenrithDistrictJuniorRugbyUnion...

Thanks Hugh, One observation I'd make about the point system is that it is pretty general once you get past the top level. For example a kid could be a very experienced district junior player, a CHS 1sts rep, or even a Sydney U17's and then come into colts (the following year) as a 2 points...
