Porecki spent a few years in the UK plying his trade prior to returning to Australia to become a Wallaby. In terms of the pecking order of Hookers in Australia, I suspect we will have a better idea after the local derby's in the Super Rugby Season. Heaven is 24 and most likely will be better...

Whatever happened to Max Douglas? Good quality Second Rower. He'd be mid twenties.

Any details of try scorers? Hopefully they post a match review

Does anyone know if the game is being streamed or televised?

Does anyone know when the squads will be announced?

Really a 3 horse race. Uni currently lead Colts Club Championship on 780 points with Easts in second with 758 points and Gordon closely behind on 708. With Easts v Uni this week Gordon could do a "Bradbury" with an easier final two rounds against Norths and Two Blues. Uni have a harder run v...

A solution I have long supported was if you want a Gen Blue Contract or any form of development or training contract with NSW Rugby, NSW Rugby determine which Club you go to. Remember ALL clubs are meant to provide a standard of coaching and development to players which is in the participation...

Fine in theory but they cant because they breach the points system and cant play them at the same time. Uni's "dirty little secret" that is NEVER discussed in recruitment presentations. The proposition of playing at Uni is very attractive for these young players. The facilities,accomodation...

Perhaps it has something to do with the points system and how they need to have some of their talented Colts age recruits in Grade in order to stay below the points cap. Certainly the players mentioned are playing very well. I just hope they dont "break" them.

So what do you expect these players to do? Pass up the opportunity to play at the next level? You'd argue that on form in 2024 that Heaven was the right choice last year. Do you think Wilson should forego Australian selection so he doesnt miss a SS game against Wicks????? Give me a break with...

And congratulations to Teddy on his selection. He has been outstanding and has earned the spot. He has a great game for Sevens. Watch his game against Gordon.

With a dominant Easts scrum, Manly lucky not to have one put in the bin at the end. Easts really should have won that game. Still picked up 2 points though

Oh dear! Please lets not go there. It is school sport. Not entertainment for OUR gratification. Referees for 1st, 2nds and 3rds are appointed by NSW Referees on a merit system. They are coached, assessed and graded for future appointments. Referees want to put in a good performance too...

Congratulations to "All things footy" who correctly picked the back line excluding #9 . Maybe not in order but close enough. Think you got 10 out of 15 of the GPS Firsts! Cudos to you.

Well the Green and Gold forum on selections for AAGPS wasn't too far from the mark! Think we had 9/15 for GPS I. A few surprises but up to the players to play well to push for higher selection Have to say GPS has some serious talent across all 4 teams. Congratulations to the selectors who do...

ATF, thanks for putting that together. Broadly agree with most of your choices. A good spread across most schools. Not sure you're going to get 2 5/8ths from Kings selected! As Basten (K) was GPS2 last year, I would imagine he would get the nod over Stiel (E) at tight head. I think the...

OK so please suggest some alternative 10s, because nobody has!

Based on feedback on forum (filtering out feedback from those bored in a free period), here is a short list. Surprised we haven't had many other suggestions in second row or for 5/8. 1 Jack Barrett (J) Tanui Jorgenson (N) 2 Bailey Park (K) Cam Johns (E) Lipina Ata (N) 3 Henry...

Righto, thanks for that, additional players to watch: SHORE 1 Jackson Stiel 2 Cameron Johns 7 Ned Ritchens 9 Will Rorsheim 11 Henry Murray 12 Leo Bassingthwaighte 13 Thomas Klem NSW U16 15 Dougal Payne Scots 1 Ben Distaso 12 Ollie Cummins Newington 9 Billy Dickens Thats great, keep the...

Last Round of trials coming up this weekend. Then Round 1 of comp and then GPS team announced 19 June. Following is my summary of players to keep an eye out for in the competition and for Rep selections. I have included their 2021 selections. I know this doesn't guarantee them selection but...
