ISA Rugby 2016

[Shane Smeltz]

Did ISA Training go ahead yesterday?

It would have had to be skills in the gym and admin only.

Drive to and from BMGS would have been challenging.

Any snouts or proud parents have an ISA team list?

As usual HJ you are on the money - I heard training did go ahead (the road up to the Mountains unaffected by flooding and not too many trees down at that stage) and skills in the gym and other indoor activities is exactly what they did apparently.

No complete team lists yet but I heard there is an Opens 1, 2, and 3/4 combined. Maybe you can explain about the 3/4 combined but I am guessing a team to play in Div 2 or 3 at the NSW comp?
Plus of course U16s.

Apologies Mr Jarse - fair call.
I'm sure appropriate channels will be used to air what are perceived to be legitimate grievances..

I expect these channels can be found on other rugby websites where they allow, or even encourage, the discussion of referee bias, the behaviour of parents, fighting or other foul behaviour during the game, criticism of schools and/or their staff, the poor performance of a 16 year-old trying his best, etcetera etcetera.

But those channels can't be found in this site: we prefer to outlaw such discussion and we don't give a damn if you are 100% correct.

Why - these topics inflame people and they infect the forums.

Even reasonable posts will be zapped because our experience is that responses to them won't be.

Please use the Report facility to flag us about any transgressions.

Thank you all.

As far as i know (from a reliable source) the ISA 1st XV backline looks like:
9. Chip (oak)
10. Douehi (pats)
11. Kinross boy?
12. Zubak (pats)
13. Hopoate (augs)
14. Veitch (stannies)
15.?
Sorry that this isn't much help, but it's all i know.

A couple of comments if I may.

The #10 for pats, Douehi, is quality. However i understand he is connected with Wests Tigers so what he does beyond ISA will be interesting (special note to NSWRU - please see what you can do to keep him in our game!). What hasn't been mentioned in this thread is that against oaks he kicked a 55m penalty goal - pretty clever I must say.

Does anybody know the ISA team make ups? Thanks @backlinemoves for the backs info of ISA 1st XV. I'd love to see the ISA really give it to the other associations. I do believe the ISA comp is much under rated.

A big congrats to all the captains this year. From what I've seen they have all lead their teams with maturity and treated the guys with the whistle with the utmost of respect.

In recent years I've seen a number of quality players come through the ISA. I see D.Donato is playing 1st colts at beasties. Would be interested to know what other ISA alumni are up to. Does anybody know where L.Lough (auggies old boy) is playing these days?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Luke Lough is playing with Sydney Uni Colts.

ISA have had a couple of good years recently.

Some recent ISA graduates doing well are:
J Lough - Has started a couple of games for Gordon 1st Grade this year, NH Rays NRC Development squad last year.
N Yeomans - Played NSW U20 Gen Blue this year.
D Moore - NSW Gen Blue U20, Some Sydney Uni 1st Grade last year and Sydney Stars NRC.
Cody Walker - playing 2nd Grade and some 1st Grade with the Beasties
Harry Goddard - NSW Gen Blue U20, Some Bench for Randwick 1st Grade and some 2nd Grade starts.

Check out the Which Clubs are the Class of 2014 going to, and Which Clubs are the Class of 2015 going to threads for a bit more info on the ISA players who made NSW Schools or Combined States teams.

 

[Stephen Moore]

Really not enjoying seeing the Stannies faithful put down Pats 10 (Doueihi). Only reason I can think of them wanting to have a crack at this kids is so their No 10 (Harding? Who I believe is on pathways?) has the best chance of making ISA 1s and higher honours. Having watched him once this year it will be a struggle for any 10 in the ISA to make it over him as Doueihi by the sounds of things is the best 10 if not player in the ISA.
In regards to the refs in my opinion they often are not up to the standard of Sydney refs simply for the fact that there are less refs in the area and less coaching/funding etc coming from the association thus not really the refs fault and why the games are often vastly different in Sydney.

[/quote]
Not to comment on bias or anything of such, but shouldn't refereeing be consistent across the board, it should be consistent around the world. Let alone over the mountains. Perhaps if Stannies and other western schools KWS don't have the funding and coaching for referees, they should play in a Western Comp as i believe they used too.
Obviously sarcasm, as at the end of the day, the scoreboard reflects a result between two teams. There is no disputing results, and at the end of the day the game comes down to two numbers. And the larger one being given a win.
All this other non football riff raff, is killing our forum and the moment parents and bias get involved. Is the moment that we lose what should be about the game we all love.
That is all. (feel free to private message each other if you would like to make personal attacks on each other).
Out.

The number 10. for St Pats Ryan Crosbie goes unmentioned most weeks had a stellar game against Oxley last week scoring a double and kicking 3/3 from penalties! ill tell you what Adam Douhie better watch out cause the St Pats number 10 Ryan Crosbie is coming for him

 

[Footyhead69]

Apart from end of season 2015 reviews, and comment on the ISA Div 2 Finals matches, which still should be on the ISA 2015 thread, it is time to move on to next season.

After talking to an old friend I can now confirm Tony Rumor has finished school and is studying Bio Mechanics at Sydney University and also Drew Denford is currently playing second grade mens for Parramatta and is studying Workshop Safety UWS Penrith Campus. Great to see the footy boys having a back up career but sadly the confirmation of Darcy Christie-Jenson has made the leap to AFL and has been offered multiple contracts from various teams. Its always sad to see our skilled players get snatched up by these higher paying sports.

great info 69, love it

 

[Huly]

Is James Basha still at school/still playing rugby?

If I remember correctly he was a part of the NSW u16 schools side in 2014.

 

[Done that]

great info 69, love it

In fact Drew Denford plays first grade colts with West Harbour,& Tony Rumore first grade colts with Southern Districts.

You have a great memory Huly, James Bashir was in the NSW u16 Schools Side in 2014. He is currently completing Year 12 at St Patricks and playing looseface prop. Really struggling with form at the moment (running sideways, fumbling the ball, falling over his own feet, left shoe on the right foot, etc) but Im sure after a few more games he'll get back that hunger for the footy we all became accustomed to in 2014. I am led to believe he was selected in the ISA 2nd XV. Good to see that he's receiving equal treatment, his mother being the Govenor of this beauty state, Marie Bashir. Over and Out.

A schoolboy insider would probably have the ability to look at Wikipedia and find that the 85 year old Dame Marie Bashir has 3 children; her only son was born in 1959. She is not the Governor of NSW any more.
Her wonderful achievements merit more respect than the flippant comment above.

ned yeomans also made first grade debut this year for easts and currently playing outside centre for first colts, could also be a chance of coming off the bench against the mighty wicks in first grade this week

 

[counterruck44]

Could someone post all 3 ISA team lists?
Interested to see squads.
Also would anyone have the Div2 Comp rep team list?
