How times change. In the 1970's I played u 15's and 16's in the Parramatta comp (from a merger with another comp) and the Parramatta teams were: Northmead Westmead Wentworthville Baulkham Hills Merrylands Dundas Valley (no fun those games!) Whatever happened to them? They were all strong...

Yes I did see that game and it's an interesting question. It's always difficult, in fact impossible, to compare teams based on games against different competitors, and also when your own team is different as well. Not in any way to offer excuses for last weekend, but there were some Norths...

As a Norths supporter who was present at the Colts games on Saturday I would like to say that this report is a load of absolute one-eyed nonsense ..... unfortunately I can't, it's spot on. Manly totally dominated across the park. Many of the Norths guys tried hard, but it just wasn't enough -...

Thanks I.P thats interesting - makes you wonder how they knew the individual travel logistics capabilities of each team if they hadn't consulted with the GM's? - this whole thing has a very nasty smell to it - don't know why, but it does .........

Does anyone know if the decision about Colts 3 is final? With the two byes already built into the first rounds that makes 9 games for the season, in total, for some clubs - you play 14 when you're 8 or 9 years old - so what started out as 17 games is now 9!!!!!!!!! Now, before I start, the...

Yes, indeed he was. Played half back in the first 15. My son played against him from 13's up. Gallop was pretty much always at the games and seemed comfortable in the environment - his son was a good player I thought

Norths and Eastwood fought out a 10 all draw in 1st colts. Couldn't help but feel that Estwood actually had the edge but just couldn't convert their opportunites. Having said that, the Norths defence was very good, with Michael Freeman being outstanding in the centres. Both sides were very...

another one - Matt Burke - got into rugby at Joeys

I think Ali Williams was also a soccer player, until he was about 16. I'm sure I read somewwhere that Luke McAlister had been offered a junior Man U contract when he was young, and I'm thinking this was when he was in his teens. Ah, another one, pretty sure Pat McCabe played soccer until...

John Flett - Wallaby early 90's, didn't play rugby until 18

Norths played Warringah - won 2nds and 3rds comfortably but lost 1sts by 2 points. Can't read too much into it, I got the impression that Warringah weren't as far down the training path as Norths - hence large scores ain 2's and 3's, and Norths were experimenting a fair bit. Both teams will be...

Was it Nicky Morath you're thinking of? I think he played for Tomga in the RWC but didn't he play somewhere else last year (Easts?)

Jordan Meredith??? Is he about 19 - if so, yes I know a bit about him. A mad keen rugby league (fanatic) who played rugby as well - but his heart was clearly in league. His father is / was a talent identifer for one of the big league teams here in Sydney (Manly) If it's him, he's a good...

I'm not totally up to speed here, so please don't think I'm trying to be smart, but which is his "local" club. I remember watching Brogan play for Sydney Uni in the under 16's, I think it was - maybe 15's, State Knock out a few years ago - kind of suggests his club is, and has been, Uni. I've...

yep, that's right - the difference between a good club and test player.

Yes, well that's good to hear - I hope your right.

think it was Bunce and Michael Jones - the two best tacklers in world rugby at the time. Howard was in the team off the back of one flick pass he did in the NSW QLD game that year - didn't really move on from there.

I don't think either of the rugby codes will be invited to within 100 metres of the SCG once it's refurbished - if that development isn't for the benfit of AFL I'd be highly surprised. Attendances at cricket certainly don't support spending that much money

The NZRU owe Sonny Bill an enormous debt - especially for his contribution to the RWC win. Whether justified or not, his presence was sufficent to scare Nonu into pulling his finger out and playing to his ability - unfortunately ....

Dont know many of the schoolboy names but noticed: Saia Tanginoa - West Colts - Souths squad Patrick Kennedy - St Aloysiuis - Manly squad Nathan Scarano - Knox College - Wests Squad
