Wrong, the skill level is equally high. It's just that the teams are more equal. Majority tries from broken play is because of the closeness, not a lack of skill. The faster you have to play a set move and the better the oppo defence, the more likely you are to spill the ball etc. " Wrong...

Thanks for the insight SDW, i had no idea, thought all the refs were external.

And even if you can, it doesn't imply bias, just that one side infringed more than the other. You said the same after the Newington v Waverley game, implying the ref was unfairly penalising Waverley in the scrums all the time. The ref called it fairly. Very tedious to hear constant wingeing...

What time is kick off?

..the difference is that the Waverley scrum was being driven backwards on its own feed. The Newington was not and didn't need to break up. Referees tend to give penalties to dominant scrums. I completely disagree, the ref was good in my opinion.

Sadly saw a serious incident today, a New player [1sts] tackled head high, looked unconscious before his head/neck hit the ground. Stretcher'd off, just pray he's ok.

these days they are on your phone :confused:

When one school does it, i've seen others use it to justify the same, be it old boys, schoolboys or parents. Lets just stamp out this unsporting behaviour. Simply whip out your phone, record some video of voices & faces. Then you let me know you have something & i'll arrange to upload it to...

The Newington no.10 only has to pass it backwards, the ball can then travel forwards with momentum. When the no.3 catches the ball he is still behind the no.10. The ref was just 5yds away with an unobstructed view. He got the call right. And do you really want to hear the whistle every time...

Thanks, what time are the kickoffs?

Thanks for the link. First 10mins is boring, bit like watching grass grow. Title says NT v LM [at the moment], but clearly it's NSW 1 v Vic ,when it's not scrambled..

I agree Goddard is best, and i'm another who would have Piroddi in there. But surely the squad would have Strang sitting on the bench, cos such a crucial position if injuries etc and he could cover other players in the back line i would think?

Knew you would take the bait. 50-zip, and should've been more if Wright hadn't bombed a sitter. Get your facts right: Riverview were 2nd and were overhauled at Lane Cove with 5mins left on the clock, to go down 31-21. Shore lost 24-22 at Scots btw. Go on onesideview, give me some more evidence...

Maybe CAS I should play GPS II or the Blue or White team, what was the score last year when CAS champs Cranbrook played the GPS champs Scots, 52-16 ;)

..but you are still wrong, Waverley are not the form team in CAS at the moment, don't forget they lost 31-0 to Knox in r2. Nice suggestion, but changing the make up of the team to include more Waverley against AAGPS would not have altered the scoreline.

No bias?...and you don't know the no 7's name? Your previous posts from last year have mentioned girdler and smith more than once. We do not want spam on the G&G website, please refrain.

what times are the games, anyone?

I watch them because I live nearby and because the GPS comp hasn't started yet. Sorry you don't like a neutral opinion, truth always hurts I would suggest.

I'm not cocky, I have no allegiance to Knox or Knox rugby or even CAS. I am a completely neutral observer and base my comments on the 3 games i've watched, 2 of which Waves lost. Yes you did miss something, I just gave you two examples [out of several I've seen] to back my comments. These...

Can we really?? Having seen Waves play 3 times this season one would be forgiven for thinking their unique brand of thuggery was being encouraged [in the Wave v Knox video have a look at the tackles at 8:02 and 10:55 for instance]. It was refreshing to see Knox play such disciplined rugby. 'At...
