Still not sure why some people still think playing in a small number of schools,closed shop, double round comp is the ultimate. Aside from the emotional " we want a revenge return game" why is it better then playing more schools. There will be easily sufficient games to choose rep teams, so can...

AS, I have seen it, and yes, it was magnificent! As good as it gets!

Sideline, Couldn't agree more, did the same with my 2 boys. They played Clovelly Crocs league as juniors for 4 years, until year 5, now playing for the school. There are transferrable skills between the codes, the 2 I like most from league are obviously tackling and finding the line, because...

Rugby C, I agree, have a look at my post on the previous page, about it being a business! Sideline, you are right, I also believe that playing junior League has some major benefits for union players as they grow up. Look at some of our boys this year in the firsts, some very obvious and...

Guys, Azzuri and I have bumped heads in the past BUT I am sure it's is all directly around what is best for the game. I note the many suggestions, which may all be solid, but at the end of the day ITS A BUSINESS, so if mine (rugby) is better than yours (league) then I win. Big...

AS and others, 5 kick gets lots of mentions but clearly they are doing something better than us. Anyone willing to articulate why so it can be countered?

Rich_E, These players for sure, and some more talent will unearth itself in the year. I think there may be even more young talent across the board than this year, particularly as some of the special year 10 boys, this year, take to the field next year!

Moretti is not a 2nd row, he could be a flanker but in my opinion, given his all round skills, should be a number 8 for any team so he can control tha back of the scrum, and the attack on the opposition backline. He has played a very strong 1st year in the first 15 with massive impact in year...

Wright is not a hooker, he is a front rower with lots of power and skills.

Hi sideline, I didn't respond to your other rugby questions you asked me for 2 reasons. 1. I am not qualified to answer the broader questions about Aussie rugby,in all honesty. 2. I had Azzuri try and dominate/bully all my comments about attempting to improve school boy rugby, and received...

BM, fair call about the coaches. Sometimes a natural beauty comes along,who doesn't come with all the credentials,I think we have 2 great guys as coaches. It will be a great comp again next year for sure! Best of luck to ALL the boys and coaches!

Azzuri, I did try to offer the olive branch but you wouldn't accept it. Hugh jarse also suggested we wait and see what the heads come up with. Can I ask that you don't question my understanding of English/intelligence, I think that's a fair request.Nor insult me or anyone else. I don't...

Azzuri, Yours is a sad response. Would you like to reconsider it?

Rich E, I'm not exactly sure if I know what you are saying in some of your paragraphs but I think it's that you don't mind change but the change suggested isn't the best option. I think. I don't think I've put down a specific model, other than to say broaden the number of teams and get the match...

J hfth, I hope that is wrong,I have many good shore mates who would be livid if so! Another example of mummy, and other sports winning out. Now that you mention this, and I guess you know, then I would hope that the GPS posters who have had difficulty in embracing a new order, can. Would be...

Wow Brumbie J, Clearly evident is that I too am a CAS parent and old boy. I share your beliefs about the historical CAS contribution to our sport. But you know what, more importantly is the need for us all to join and get this right for the longer term benefit/survival of the sport. Rugby...

RC, SPOT ON!!! Everyone can be a winner if constructed properly. A no brainer.

MR TT, Time will tell. I believe the Waverley coaches are better, as witnessed at Death Valley this year. I also believe our backs will be solid, and our forward pack extremely gifted. Think this side will beat all comers!

Rugbybloke, MrTallTimber is having you on, just trying to elicit a Waverley response, and he did! Truth is Waverley will win it again from Barker, its a very strong waves side.

Ok, these graphic posts are funny,and I laugh, but they avoid the issues rugby face. Given that we all agree that rugby is being out marketed by the other sports, and it is evident that there is a lot of push back about change, how about this idea. I find people are really good at bagging...
