The collapse of the Pro League, in January this year, after the inaugural season was / is a drawback , in that , conceptually better players could have been aligned to a pro franchise and able to receive payments to direct toward their tuition costs - and not been in breach of NCAA Rules - given...

Speaking of "the product" and the lack of competitiveness in the world of SANZAAR it sort of also brings up thought about what whether its appropriate to re-distribute talent and then consider things such as a draft One of the issues with the competition , I feel , is that we still haven't got...

I'm not so sure zer0 Why would the Sun Pups , the Hong Kong Dongers and the Singapore Slings want to get horse whipped by the Kiwis very week ? At least the Australian Teams are a bit more toward parity :) If you get "the product" right it eventually forces a more even distribution of talent

And then finally , what about the ARU working with State Education Departments in QLD , NSW , Victoria and WA to establish designated Centres of Excellence in Rugby / 7's ? I mean ....Keebra Park is the League School and there are other examples in curriculum where State Ed has designated that...

On top of the Asian strategy ....why the fuck isn't the ARU blatantly copying the League playbook and developing an ethnic - indigenous series That is if you want to get traction in the Samoan , Tongan and Fijian communities and try and capture hearts and minds in volume . Or has the ARU...

New Zealand can have as many local derbies as they like What is their alternative if we turn around and tell 'em to get fucked in 2020 Travelling across 2 x continents and playing the Jags , Stormers, Bulls , Sharks , Cheetahs and the Kings ? Yeah good luck with that The way I see it the...

I blame John "Darth John" O'Neill In short we're dealing with a management legacy issue that started 20 years ago and has been feeding irrationally off its own hubris and misjudgement of the "new media" that emanated back in the 90's Over ambitious expansion in taking on AFL and League with...

Pretty good crack at GPS 1 Dark Shark Good job

How cool would it be if you just played Rugby over 2 x terms ? Develop a ranking system pre-season and have "out of conference match ups" in Term 2 and then Term 3 ...schools return to their association / conference to play their usual season Rugby pairs better with Track and Field in Term 4...

Where was the game played ?

Anyone know if Keegan Cobb got a run in the starting 15 for Downlands last night

The Hogs were very handy in an officially unofficial trial v Wests There are 2 of your potential Div 1 Teams right there Sunnybank and Logan seem to be sharing the wealth in their common backyards and both will put claims forward Easts would seem to be a shoe in And Jeeps are looking...

Hey Trash The U16 Comp runs concurrently with the U15 JGC on the GC Only 2 x QLD U16 Teams Will be interesting to see who / which of the GPS Schools let their guys participate in this given training / prep , I would imagine , straddles across the GPS Season . Could be a 1 week super camp...

So the earlier commentary around culture / coaching / teaching etc is cool if you are participating in JGC as part of the WA and Victorian team entrants , but realistically , the QLD and NSW entrant teams will be more disparate ( comparatively ) given that the competition is a wham bam thank you...

If anyone from WA or Victoria is reading .....when did / do your squads form and start training for this year's U15 JGC. Also I am assuming the same as last year with just 1 x team ( which effectively is a State Team )

Mitch looks good. Another one from "the factory"

Anything to add to the discussion of GPS Rugby in a GPS Rugby thread Henry ?

Also for TSS fans ....what of last year's 15A's ? How many of those lads were from the 2016 JGC Team ? Many from that 15A school team figuring to be in firsts contention this year ?

Yep. Ok . I guess the question as to why GPS Schools Rugby is facing breakage and ruination inside 3 years doesn't want to be answered . I guess attention has to be directed elsewhere in a personalisation attempt. Good one. So anyway ......there has been a bit of chat about Terrace and Nudgee...

Looking for this all of a sudden Lute ?
