SDW, I heard today that Eden Rodgers Smith did his knee again,at Easts league training, and may be out for some time, if not the season. Think the school needs to ban outside influences! Understand some kids may make a living one day from footy but at this age this can be devastating.

BM, I hope Nick goes through and is a wallaby one day.

BM, Nick is certainly a very good player with many many skills, and the Knox team, as usual, will be solid. I love your unstoppable comment, can't beat passion. Think you know there will be many teams who will challenge!

Very funny captions and frighteningly accurate! Our 16's are average, so your boy should be in with a great chance. My memories of the game are as follows: We saw you guys play a couple of strong teams, Terrace and Newington. Your team was very impressive, we knew that our game was THE...

Do you mean your boy might/should/will be in the 1sts? I have 2 boys at Waverley but in 14's and 12's.

Wow big guy, you are on fire. I will talk to my guys and you have a date, it will be a hoot. Stay tuned I will start the smoke signals and come back to you. What do we wear so you can recognise us? DH.

Snort, just worked it out! What position did you play in the Trinity 1979 side?

Hi Dick, The 2017 Rugby draw just came out from Waverley. We play Aloys on Sat June 3 at QP, 3.15pm, there is not a second round anymore, the home and away comp has ended, good in my opinion. We could catch up for lunch first at the Robin Hood Hotel just 100m up the road first, if you...

I have never ever had a problem with potential joeys boys going to the Waverley junior school, I had some great mates (still) who did this, and then in year 7 went to Joeys. The reason is Joeys don' t start until year 7 so I completely understand this. What is absolutely pathetic are parents...

SDW, You are funny and on the money! Headmaster in any of the big schools requires a special person. (Nightmare) Agree with the academic needs, however they did do well this year and last. Being a non selective school they won't ever top the state, but those boys who apply themselves are...

Tough call Tahs247 but I will give the Waverley side a go! 1. Wright 2.? 3.McComick. 4.Eden Rodgers Smith 5.Zsabo. 6,Ellis 7.Murphy 8. Moretti. 9. Bell/Thorn 10 Donaldson (C) 11. Andrews 12. Cornish 13.Hardaker. 14? 15? Some will be correct, but keen to hear other people's views, this is a...

Sideline, I know you keep bringing up the cyclical nature of how Waverley may perform, which is absolutely true as this year's 15's and 16's age groups will struggle and will in later years in the opens, but every school is cyclical, no school wins every year, which is healthy, so being cyclical...

Rich_E, I am sure you are right, and I am sure we all want a bigger stronger comp one day that show cases fantastic footy. Whilst Knox and Waverley are the first to make the big leap, I hope more schools eventually join in for the future of school boy rugby. Yes there has been some funny...

Agree!

Sideline, I certainly didn't read Rich_E's comments like you're suggesting, in fact quite the opposite, he was hoping for good contests! I am not convinced that its recruitment that is always the winning factor, in fact I think that is BS, I think its the training, number of boys...

I think we all appreciate Rich_E's support. He is right,big wins aren't good for anyone, and I don't expect too many of these. What we want are some great games, and a stronger competition going forward. Sideline, great overview, you are right in your assessment. I also believe all schools...

SDW, Set pieces are important BUT I think today's game is driven by the breakdown (speed) imo. The wicks were always the best at this not necessarily the set pieces and I am a Beasties supporter. There are GPS supporters who cannot wait to see Knox and Waverley slaughtered by their teams, this...

I think we shouldn't focus on any 1 individual as there are many Knox and Waverley supporters who believe they will go well. Not only for their teams sake but also for this new experiment, and maybe/hopefully it will lead into a bigger comp in 2018! Aside from the open teams it will be...

Having heard all the discussions I think the answer is that the term "pathways"could be used for whatever agenda a school may have. So you could ALL be right BUT... I do think that in reality, parents and therefore their boys, choose this direction ULTIMATELY for a career reason, not a sport...

Agree with all your comments about grass roots, the ARU? etc. Who decided on what, and what is the plan. We have all been saying these things, and an overall strategy is most definitely needed, all said before and all agree! I am not putting all my eggs into 1 basket, never suggested it was...
