Did Milne and Moeroa play?

I can't see how you come to your assessment. If anything there are probably one, maybe 2 positions which seem to be contentious. Robertson should have been selected over OPL with the rest of the pack I think the selector have got it right or there is a struck match between them. In a number of...

Stewart has ligament damage to his ankle which will see him miss the upcoming matches

Are any of the "League players" actually big in league? Or are they just referred to as league players on this forum as they play both codes?

My My mistake, misinterpretted the nature of the response. Sorry Brian as I did say only taking it from what he has told my son.

Brian, while I don't pretend to know much about league contracts unlike some, I do have a son at St Augustines who knows the lad in mention and who has said on more than one occasion that he isn't on contract with Manly. That's good enough for me. Should you wish to refute it then please provide...

While not GPS Fabian Natoli from St Augustines represented in Oz 7s at junior commonwealth games and is currently playing NYC for Manly although I have been told that he isn't under contract with them. He would have to be a very strong chance at NSW Is or IIs

Newbie you are probably the best credentialed to answer this. Obviously there is much debate about whether to reward "league" players with rep selection over "rugby" players. Would most traditional league contracts at this level expire after SG ball. Then after 20s etc. If so all the boys who...

I'd be interested to know if the school doesn't allow them to play or if the players make the decision based on how many games they will end up player throughout the year. If you consider trial matches and GPS matches add in GPS 1,2,3 games as I'm assuming we are talking about the elite players...

The gps 1s centre pairing will be interesting, effectively Tepai has been MOM in 3 games with his main opposition for the accolade Milne. That's against current OZ schoolboy centre Stewart who he dominated and Foketi who many tipped to be Stewart's centre partner. As well as today by the sounds...

So I hear Tepai might play after all, that is hand injury wasn't that bad and he has trained. Could change the result and favoritism for Joeys.

New v Scots Great game, although plenty of errors and some I'll discipline. Both teams dominated possession at various times throughout the match with Scots the first to score after sustained pressure on the New line.New were the better team throughout although poor final options or balls going...

Scots 19 new 17. Lussick missed penalty from just to the left of the posts with 2 minutes left.

It was a lot closer competition than the 17s shot which Tepai won by over 5 metres, breaking the old record by just shy of 3 metres.

Newington won seniors

HC thats how it works! He is in the second year of pathways. Pathways is year 12 over 2 years. He was a year young all through school (not unheard of) was 12 years old in year 7 when everyone else was 13. So in year 12 2011 everyone else was 18 while Jim was 17. Now in his second year of...

No as he turns 17 this year he isn't eligible. Will presumably play 1sts in centres with Milne.

What is the problem with Stewart and Tepai? Stewart is only 18 this year always been one of those year young guys. Tepai will only be 16 throughout the whole GPS comp turns 17 late in the year. So how is it unfair??

Interested if anyone has any info info on Jason Seage at last report he came to rugby from the Eels and "is not looking back". Jason has again signed to play for Parramatta in the 20s in 2012.
