once again captain crash here to disturb the forum. just leave mate. if your not gonna respect the forum, we will not respect you back. sorry no hard feelings joker just had to be said.Captain Crash Ball here,
Agreed, although I am associated with Riverview I can't help but give praise to the fabulous play of the St josephs under 16 a's. In their game against Ignatius at Hunters Hill, they showed their strengths and simply diced apart the Riverview defence, their structure and lead-up play were a sight to see.
A team to watch in the years to come
Regards Captain Crash Ball
I think there is an ISA 2024 forum somewhere on G&G mateWord coming out of St Augustines fullback Tylan Berryman, has sustained a season threatining ACL injury during his gym session this morning for the big game against Oakhill. Suspected to be out for the rest of the season, terrible loss for the saints boys. Max Jordan is expected to get the call up as he is playing superb in the seconds team as fullback.

yes i agree.Well to me, The forum was TOOOO QUIET during the school holidays so its rather entertaining not to mention hilarious reading all the comments from students (pretending to be adults) who are clearly NOT paying attention in class ha ha
Looks more like a Joeys boy to me.
Wishing Tylan Berryman a speedy recovery. It's unfortunate news, but his contribution this year has been outstanding. Hopefully, Max Jordan will step up and fill the gap effectively.Word coming out of St Augustines fullback Tylan Berryman, has sustained a season threatining ACL injury during his gym session this morning for the big game against Oakhill.

Alongside Head (K), Wiggins (J) would be a great second row matchup as Wiggins explored a heffa at Duck Creek Picnic races 2024.Harry Head who is rather fond of Big Argentinians manages 'larger' players well in defence - id put him in any 16s rep team

WarningOn the topic of Shore starting to give scholarships, what do you guys think is the point of this? to revive an almost-dead program by flushing through top-tier talent or any other reason. i just feel scholarships is one way to start up a program but that instils a sense of entitlement and it is much more time-consuming but better long-term to start bringing in top-tier coaching and a culture of shore-bred rugby players.
thoughts on shore scholarships or scholarships in general.
Mate it's schoolboys like you who ruin it for schoolboys with a genuine interest in the forum. Schoolboys provide some genuine and intelligent contributions to the forum and others constantly intrude with silly inside jokes that might get a laugh from 1 or two of your mates. Do betterNo one here can handle the truth about upcoming prodigy George Wormwell and it shows
Henry Hutchison (Riverview), Michael Icely (travelling reserve, Joeys).My great grandson and I were watching the rugby sevens and he was telling me that he had a rugby sevens boy in his year at (SJC) Ben Dowling who is competing in the Olympics and he wanted me to see if theres any former gps players representing any countries.
Anyone have any ideas?

RA need to win back the rooms by clawing back some Integrity into NSWJRU then interest from thTo do this need transparency in belowReading your comments, you and I actually agree let me elaborate;
Yes, we may end up without the superstars to win the U15,16,18 if we choose to omit players that plays the other code. But Is winning the U15-U18 trophy the main goal of a Super Rugby academy? I doubt that very much (only partly). If we omit them from selection and lose, RA should ask the question,
1. How do we attract them to continue playing rugby union? (Perhaps as you mentioned, "commit to the players with a signed contract")
2 How do we retain them in the game to hopefully become professionals?
3 Have we got the right coaching team?
4 Need more working capital perhaps in the program?
Many other questions can be raised.
BUT IF we omit them from selection and the 'left over' (your word) players continues the winning streak? Well then RUGBY UNION WINS, we have selected the right representative players who loves the game and will continue to play the game (maybe a bit optimistic here)
As long as we continue to select the dual code players just to win at Junior level we are band aiding the issue.
My 2 cents. I'm not a professional, only a rugby union fanatic.
Joeys +10
My money's on View to win. Playing and defeating Riverview at the Swamp is no easy feat especially when it's View's last home game there.My predictions for how games will go this weekend
Joeys Vs Kings
Assuming Joey's forwards got a spray for their second half this past weekend so those boys better perform. This match isn't clear cut as Kings did get that spectacular upset over Joey's earlier in the season and hopefully, another miracle can occur. Being realistic though I think Joey's forward pack will be putting on a much better performance all around and not just the first half and their backs will continue in the excellent form they've seen all season. Prediction 28-13 Joeys
View Vs Scots
Scots scoring seems to consistently come from their back line and with Hartman out that wing may become a target. If they're able to continue their offensive form as well as construct a solid forwards game they would certainly be favourites. Saying this the Swamps a different level but with a sunny forecast, I wouldn't see any advantage of being custom to the grounds from View. 25-15 Scots
Newington Vs Shore
I see Shore destroying Newington this weekend. They'll be much more locked in I assumed with a premiership being a very real and attainable achievement. Newington coming off a loss isn't looking too hopeful and I believe the bridge will be truly and utterly defended this weekend.
35-5 Shore
