Exactly - that wrap around movement Samoa did against South Africa did more good for the game than any amount of rolling mauls by "Tier 1" teams. The ball just seemed to stop in the air and waited for the 5/8 to collect it - brilliant. The P.I teams have done more for rugby than what they...

[ Parra are not backward in coming forward when spending money to secure (what they believe to be) adolecent prodigies gentlemen. To give you a very recent example there is young lad at the Bulldogs called David Klemmer (Australian Schools representative and all that who happened to also make...

Could be a real - "Supporters" jersey. They wore those type, and were sponsored by Ricoh around 1988 (?) I think. Vague recollections of them wearing those sort in a test at Concord Oval.

They don't - I think what is meant is that there is an "understanding" that they will play. Also, if they are good they'll play higher - it's about time Norths looked at their own juniors. Two years ago they won the Opens (under 18's) Sydney comp and not one of that team was approached - by...

I'll think you'll find every CAS school 1st 15 has a different jersay to their other teams,

Sounds a bit like a gripe you may have with their coach, otherwise it wouldn't warrent saying. (I have no idea who their coach is by the way). Plenty of teams came behind them on the table.

[. or something like that for Norths is a good pilferer but is a bit small. Joe McElhone - very good player. Like you say, small, but big heart and takes the big guys on no worries.

Thnaks BarneySF, looks like the mystery continues. All the best

slight correction - I meant white shorts, not white socks.

It probably harks back to the days when the Wallabies wore a green jersey and white socks - I think up to the 1960's - we changed to gold because we were going on a tour of SA and needed to so the jerseys snd shorts didn't clash. If your in Sydney, maybe Mick Simmons in George might have them -...

Now this is totally off topic but I've got to ask - BarnsySF, that photo of John Cusack, your avatar - 20 odd years ago, or maybe more, I saw the movie that that picture was in and there's John Cusack running around in an Australian rugby league jersey - ie your avatar. It's bugged me, not...

what, like Pierre Hola? Which local club did he play for - Epping or Hillview?

Well, yes mate, you are defending them. There are no words in the English language that were designed to offer any sort of rationale explanation for that type of behaviour, so don't demean yourself by trying - rugby doesn't need that, and please, if you still feel the same, could you take your...

Yes it's a terrible thing. I remember Joost when he first played the Wallabies as a 19 year old for North Transvaal - his class just shone through and I followed his path from then on in. Not reading anything into it, but that Springbok team that won the World Cup in 95 have really had a...

Norths did well against West Harbour - wins in 1sts and 2nds, and down by a point in 3rds - conversion from the side line - great kick, bad result, for Norths. Norths really are under performers this year, but maybe this is a turning point -who knows?

Was down at the Easts / Norths colts on Saturday - Easts took all three grades, although, interestingly, in each grade they ran out to big leads then Norths fought back to within a few points in each - but more interesting was the referee for first colts - Steve Walsh. As tough as first colts...

Also, in all the Sydney age comps - to under 18's, the point's differential is capped at 50 - you can score more, but you'll only get credit for 50.

Not 100% certain on this, ie: who the player is, but he doesn't happen to be playing 2nd grade, not Colts, in a successful team, and is doing very well - also, he's still at school! I didn't see him play in the Aussie schools games, but isn't it possible that politics stopped from from...

Oh, so that's why "genuine" was in italics! I wasn't specifically having a go at you, your comments always seem to be reasonable its just that his name invariably gets brought up - either way, if he started in year 7 and has under a Christan Ministry outreach program and was, even at that age...
