Yeah mate, the refereeing in Bathurst has got to be the worst I've seen, and it's been consistent for a very long time. Might be old boys with the whistle or maybe some pocket money involved.

- Start date
It was the 9 in the second half that made all the difference. Cracking young player!

SC, since you were lucky enough to be able to make the trip and watch the game, who were the standout players for Stannies and Pius respectively?
Thanks, Rugby Enthusiast

Absolutely RahRah. I can highlight one standout player: Cooper Watters had an exceptional game. I believed he scored twice and made several impressive breaks, Some would put his performance up there with Latrell Mitchell's game 1 2021 Origin performance. Oakhill should keep a close eye on him this weekend, as he could be a key threat to Stannies having any chances.
SC out.

Do you know if Auggies played with their full-strength team or if they brought up some players from the seconds?

The refs penchant for penalising Pius in their own half whilst in possession allowed Stannies to camp inside Pius territory for long periods. This had an enormous bearing on the result. After a clearing kick bounced straight out upfield, Pius were penalised for being offside 50 metres away. Stannies scored straight after. This was one of many perplexing decisions

Anybody got word on younger age group predictions or even any players any particular right through from 13A to 16A
From what I’ve heard:
13’s: Pats are strong, between them oakhill and auggies
14’s: Auggies
15’s: From what I’ve heard quite a strong age group. Haven’t heard closely enough to predict one although It’s a good sign this is a strong age coming through so definitely one to be kept an eye on
16’s: Would say oakhill but not sure how many they have playing 1s/2s

Oakhill’s 16A’s had a tough start to Term 2 with losses to Riverview and Joeys but since then have found some really good form.
Lukas Butler (Backrow) started the year in the 1’s but has moved back to the 16A’s and currently backs up for the 1’s. Cyrus Bloomfield (Fullback, Centre, Winger) is also playing on the wing in the 1’s, but those are the only two that have played opens.

Auggies played their full strength team minus Aron brennan and Joe walsh who were both out with minor injuries. And they brought up many of the boys who went to japan from the seconds and put them on quite early in the game to rest the stars for their first ISA clash this weekend
15s will go down between Auggies and Oakhill as they have both won 1 each since U13s. My son plays in this 15s age group and its certainly competitive but im going to go Auggies just.

Would like this forum to have updates on junior age groups at end of each round also. To be able to see strengths of some schools

Auggies have gotten a player to play down from the 16s. Harry smythe, he plays fullback and after watching him against eddies in the first few weeks he is a player to be reckoned with. Potentially Auggies best player. Oakhill are also very strong. But with stannies star player and captain Tom Champion moving to Kings I think they have to be out of the mix. Pats were better last year but after a disapointing couple of trials I really can only be led to believe that it will end with Auggies and Oakhill.

Auggies have a young prosepct in josh arundel developing through the ranks nicely. Josh is a huge second rower standing at 6'6 at just 15 and coming off the back of a massive pre-season with augs opens. Scouts say he is potenially the biggest 2nd row they have ever seen. Definately someone to look out for.
