^ Totally agree 12, 13 and 15 from Iona are best I've seen this season , although , if healthy I'd still go with MCA's first choice 13 and go with SPC's Maritz and SPLC's McKinlay as my wingers . Padua 10 at 10 and Iona 9 That's my AIC backline 9 . Iona 10. Padua 11. SPLC ( McKinlay ) 12...

Well you were there you saw what happened With a full complement or not Padua were always getting blown out in the 2nd half of that game . They were fading after 15m to to reset their lines

Both forward packs aren't very good , however , Iona have a couple of very good individual talents in the front row that are better than anything Padua have in their whole forward pack Big man mountains that promise a lot and deliver so little are sort of ho hum , and in fact , the very thing...

What guys from this game will be in the mix for NSW 1 and 2 ?

There was more wind at Iona today than around the dinner table with Sherman Klump and family A real boil over - but the Iona boys just executed better in the conditions - especially at critical moments with their on point passing ( and backing up the ball runner ) and kicking game You have...

The 7 All Draw was hard to ignore And so were 1 or 2 Dads who disputed some calls That got so bad With the Maristinians thinking that they'd been had That the Field Marshall had to have them withdrawn So this now is the end of this lil ol ditty And the moral of the story is not to get shitty...

Yes Galloper that was who I was referring to I would imagine it would be pretty cramped in the MCA back row next year then . Not sure what they have coming through in lock stocks but I would daresay a couple of conversion projects might need to be looked at I mean .........if ex SPC's Cayle...

Is the Marist kid that played City 7 last year playing 7 on his 10A team ?

^ You filing in for "Big J with all the info" ? And you are being pretty kind to Lauries

But back to your point Ali about the kitchen sink being thrown at the 3 x Red Boys .........Meh. Would it be fair to say the targeted boys already have their heart in league ? That's my mail. Terrace and I believe even Nudgee are getting pretty desperate . Well Terrace have been desperate and...

Actually...Rugby really should be played over 2 x Terms at both GPS and AIC Schools and other Colleges / Schools with an Intra Conference / Inter Conference mix of competition built around Divisions and relegation Sort of how the NZ Schools system works While we are on NZ .......I note that...

Interesting rumour and probably one that needs to come true - and may well come true in time given the trend for more diversity GPS Trials still going ahead on May 19 ( TSS ) and June 2 ( Wests ) for 1 , 2 and 3 teams

Anyway .....I hope you are right Justin . Would be good for the competition to see another 1 or 2 teams ( if Iona and Peters fit that bill this season ) that are strong on the ball and in their post defense which is where a lot of these games may ultimately be decided

Did they only pack 4x men scrums in the U16 Rep last year ? With Blayke Rozka and Ben Geraghty representing on Red that would be 50% Or maybe it was 3 x men scrums on White ( given John Downes is so strong he counts for 1.5 players )

With Darcy Stevens and Finocchiaro upfront Iona would figure to go all right in the tight stuff . Like all AIC Teams not named Marist it depends on how seriously they take their strength / fitness prep and basic drilling re : catch /pass , on ball etc They are some very good prospects at other...

How good was John Downes yesterday ? I thought he really set the tone for the match with his defensive work rate and physicality . He looked determined and completely switched on to the task. Let's face it the only thing Padua could do was bash away one out ( must be a league thing ) Looking...

Premiership round next week with the Iona forward pack being the only pack ( on paper ) that can challenge Marist forwards A bit of value in SPLC - they have a couple of young guys in their team that can make a genuine difference to a result - their 15 especially , I believe , is the best back...

OK after yesterday's results I have the updated Owens book as at the end of April as follows : Marist - $1.50 Iona - $2.50 SPLC - $8.00 SPC - $12.00 Padua - $15.00 SLC - $50.00 Villa - $50.00 Eddies - $100.00

Lack of Padua fitness and red card fairly telling in HT/ FT comparison . That , and Padua having more possession than Sharpelle Corby MCA’s first half try coming on a kick return against run of play set up by Shaq McLeod . Great job by Zach Hogan to reel that pass in from the Brother Ciaprian...

The overall level of fitness from Padua was poor. Their forwards are nowhere near fit enough and this pretty much told the story of the game. They butchered all the early field advantage simply because they couldnt re-line quick enough and protect their own ball more than 3 x phases. A lot of...
