unbelievable MK

get FF (Folau Fainga'a) off

water break ... please

great work from Wright, RobV, White, AAA and McReight

I assume Steep is back also? I will be interested to see where they play Onitoni. He is an outstanding talent.

Petaia didn’t commit

I'd be keen to have a crack at Murray Taulagi. Young, origin player, skillful, big, strong defensively. Option at 12 or 13. Could be next Kerevi. Legitimate rugby junior, Played 15 in Brisbane State GPS premiership in 2016 with Petaia. Brother JJ played for Reds.

Not surprisingly Joseph Sua'ali'i is RA's no. 1 target with PE money. Mclennan seems quite open and brash they will target League players for 2025 and 2027. I wonder how this backline of former schoolboy Rugby players would go against the current lot. 10. Sam Walker/Luke Keary 11. Tolu Koula 12...

Without wanting to take this thread completely away from topic, I think both codes are struggling with it. League went too far last year and was sending off players consistently with what seemed like over-the-top adjudicating. The dial now seems to be swinging back too far the other way. Rugby...

Continuing from the previous discussion, therein, lies the point, they are playing both games. We shouldn't write them off just because they also play league. We should see it as a positive that 4 of the best 15s league schoolboys in the country also play rugby. Now, which game will actively...

Jesse Mclean from Newington was selected into the Austalia Schoolboys Rugby League team. https://www.ourfootyteam.com.au/blog/australian-schoolboys/meet-the-2022-australian-schoolboys/2022/07/09/ The Australian 15s Merit Team features Callum Grantham and Haemasi Makasini from Newington also...

Congrats to the Tahs, this is how it should be. Keep all options over until a post-school commitment means they aren't an option. Needs considering also that the Tahs don't sign players at 15/16, while just about every decent league player who plays junior reps is contracted, the vast majority...

I posted earlier that Mclean (Penrith) and Tovio (Souths) were chosen in the 1s. Fittler and Rodwell (Roosters) were chosen in the 2s. So I don't believe his non-selection was related to a league contract.

RA has been hit and miss with its retention of talented youngsters over the years under various leadership. They had had a fighting fund at stages that kept the likes of Angus Bell and Will Harris in the sport despite serious competition from league, then there was the unbelievable stuff up with...

I'd prefer Wright at fullback over Hodge, thought he played one of his best games there the other night. Was very safe under the high ball and his running threat in open play is the best we have. That said, a Vuni/Marika wing combo may expose us against the Poms and would require Noah to drop...

Hi WB, In principle, Rugby (professional organisations) should not develop League (long-term contracted) players. Where do we draw the line? Anything outside of the School Representative pathways ie. Gen Blue should be for those with post school rugby aspirations. My additional question is...

huge play there from Wright

IMO this view is too simplistic. League v Union, contracted v non-contracted. School rugby and school representative pathways ie. NSW Schools, GPS representative teams should be available to all regardless of whether they have signed a contract outside of school in league or any other sport...
