SJR U16 play ACT in Canberra on the 15th Sep. Training now weekly until Chapionship.

HJ - the U16's run on sqaud was named at training last night. Can't tell you anymore than that as it was named on the paddock. Tatafu Polota Nau was at training and was introduced to the boys talking about how it started for him in thsi Under 16 competition. What was interesting is that he has...

Ruck and Troll - I don't need a spoon at this stage, my lad got selected.

Ally the selectors are looking for the best team If they are picking players then more than 5 west players should have been picked. How could the tall blonde forwarding not get picked. I was trying to reconcile that the selectors are looking to put the best team together and therefore have made...

The MWZ team deserved to have got a few more selected. One would hope that the selectors are able to make the an informed and accurate assessment of playing ability and select the best available squad free of any prejudice or bias. Is this the case? Surely the selector wants the best performing...

Do the statistics validate that your chances of selection (in NSW) increases if you go to a GPS school? What are your chances of representing Australia if you attend a public school in NSW?

HJ don't neccessarily agree that they are "giving up". Just keeping their options open. If one door closes another door opens. What are the viable options available to a lad not picked today.

I only saw the second half. NSW II put in a good performance. They nearly got on top when they had the man advantage. The 12 for NSW did make some big yards. I wouldn't want him running at me.

The 12% statistic came out of the RL under 20"s education seminar prior to the season starting. It could indeed be 1 game. I agree that success at the age age of 20 does not lead to a sustainable career. Interestingly the figure quoted by the commentator during the under 20 rugby union World...

12% of Holden Cup Under 20"s go on to play in the NRL

That was quite funny - I reckon your opinions would be very welcomed on the forum.

HJ, Which team has faired better between NSW School and SJR historically? What is the thinking on the teams selected this year?

And the washup is: Eastwood - 4 Gordon - 6 Warringah - 9 Parra - 2 Southern Districts - 2 WESTERN ZONE - 5 (21.7%) NORTHERN ZONE - 7 (30.4%) SOUTHERN ZONE - 2 (8.7%) BARBARIANS - 9 (39.1%) NORTHERN ZONE PLUS BARBARIANS (really NORTHERN ZONE 2nds) - 69.5% of the squad. U16 Sydney...

I agree with your comments. However, players as young as 12 do make the switch. Two of Southern Districts 12's switched to Lindfield to enable them to play for Gordon. I am not sure if this was due to aspirational parents or poaching. It somehow satisfying to see them lose in the State Champs. I...
