Hi Joker Tips: View,Shore, Kings, Joeys, Newington Wyvernboy

Love2Scrum, Dusk, Balck and White With Oliver Townsend returning this week or next, What would be your New backline ? Not getting any bites from Rippa. 9 Dickens 10 McGregor 11 Quin 12 Barton 13 Townsend 14 J McLean 15 Takamou After watching them on Sat, JMcLean and Takamou run the ball...

Hi Rippa Would love to know your Newington backline. Please post it. Watched the 1st XV New v Wav game Sat. Firstly, congrats to Wav for a great win. Smart rugby and played to their strenghts. 1 and 3 were colossal and made plenty of metres. Surprised New didn't throw the ball more to tire...

Hornsby4life Check out the CAS chat. Someone called Rugby League says : Waverley beat a "depleted and illness ridden " Shore. I don't know Shore's team or Wav's team but for Rugby League to say that Shore was depleted and illness ridden " means he either : 1) knows what he is talking...

Hi Hornsby4life Easy boss !! Obviously there are a lot of rumours and/or misleading info on the chat and sometimes it gets misunderstood. If, on your info Shore was at full strength, then all credit to Wav. Wav is a good side this year but most would have bet on Shore ( not with great...

Hi All 16A's New v Wav will be a very good game.12 pm Johnson Oval. Wav traditionally have a strong 16's and New beat Scots earlier ( Scots had a few out but still a good win ). Tipping New in a very close one. Wyvernboy

Hi Cockatoo Run Agree with your summation of the Scots game. New did improve their set piece scrum/lineout against Auggies although it was a dry track. Tomorrow will be similar to Scots conditions. After two games, I have been happy with the improvement in New's fitness ( esp forwards )...

Hi All Interesting to see most are tipping Waverley in tomorrow's game v Newington. New had a draw v Scots ( it was the 1st trial for both so not a great indication of how both teams will go in the season ) but it was a willing game and from what Scots has done since, New should be fairly happy...

Good on ya Dusk !! Wyvernboy

Hi Joker Thanks for the team list. Newington have made a few changes to the backs and added a hard working 7 in the mix. 9 and 10 stay the same. 12,13 and 15 same but wingers have changed. Good signs for confidance and stability. I expect a good game tomorrow against Waverley. Newington will...

Hi Joker View, Scots, Shore, Joeys, New Wyvernboy

Hi Joker No Good. Would you rather 2 more Soccer teams than 2 AFL teams ? By limiting the number of soccer teams it may have backfired and led to AFL teams. I might be wrong but when Joeys start to go down the dark path .... what could happen to the rest. Wyvernboy

Hi Black & white Wish I could share your optimisim once the DH ( and I mean Deputy Head ) moves on, but it won't happen. They have increased the teams and are playing it in yr5/6. At the end of the day, it's competition and Rugby needs to lift it's game. Wyvernboy

Grimey AFL is like a disease. Once it;s in, very hard to get rid of. Joker is right that the AFL admin have spent millions investing in schools etc and now have their base. Hopefully S,K and J can stay strong. Doubt the others can go back. Football is not as bad. At least it's an international...

Greenwhiteblack No worries. Have contested scrums but can't spend 5 minutes packing and repacking it for no obvious reason. Alternatives need to be explored. Your options could work. Anything to speed up the game. Rugby should be a game for all shapes and sizes but something needs to change...

Big Papi I've always said that a good game of Rugby is better than a good game of league but they are few and far between were as there arn't too many bad/boring league games. The technical part of the game for those that aren't in the know, can be a turn off. Rugby has a contest for the ball...

Joker You are spot on. The tree grows healthy beacuse of it's roots. The next 5-10 years are crucial. The next WC is important for advertising and money. Whatever the RU gets must re invest in junior rugby. Hopefully the Wallabies can go far in the WC. If not, I'm afraid they'll be a lot of...

Hi Joker I agree but why is it not resonating with our young players ? It is a fairly "elitist" saying however union doesn't seem to promote it enough ? Union is played more and at a more competeitive level internationally, broader opportunities ( 7,s, Olympics (m/f), bigger world cup, ) and...

Hi All Looking at Rugby League CIS U18's Squad, Congrats to the boys that have made it. No View, Joeys or Shore boys. Schools that traditionally encourage ( if that's the word ) playing of Union. I think that's a major reason why Joeys is so successful. View and Shore aren't far behind and...

Hi All Sorry, Not sure how 13,14s went. Love2Scrum, agree that 1,2 and 3 are setting a very good scrum. Look fit and running well. They were supported by a hard working back row. Line outs were also impressive. I think they have done some work in this area. 9/10 are combining well. They need...
