Hats off to Oakhill - an extremely dangerous backline let down a little by their forwards, bounces of the ball and some discipline.

45-26 Riverview near FT.

I hear all sorts of things about how the NRL club/GPS rugby relationship works but it's all second or third hand so hard to know what's true. On the face of it, it seems NRL clubs can dictate to some extent when boys whose fees they are subsidising can train and play for their schools.

I wonder how these agreements are made. Any contract would presumably be between the club and the boy's guardian, who would then inform the school when the boy could train or play for them.

In an ideal world the school would say, 'Thanks but no thanks, we're only going to select players who are available for every game'. Instead it seems (some) schools are ceding to such stipulations, presumably for the sake of success.

Is it really that simple? And where does it end? Where is the line in the sand for some schools when it comes to availability?
Excellent ROI with Callahan and Bassingweighte for Shore, two years no matter what you hear or believe or choose not to be believe NEITHER boy attended the school in year 10 make no mistake Shore has joined the arms race ........... I doubt the result will be the same this year

I’m quite impressed with Shores performances today against Barker. Although Barker doesn’t have amazing depth from the 5ths and up every team convincingly won. I think Shore could be back in contention for the Col Windon Shield again and definitely have a chance in the 2nd XV comp unlike last year.

Callaghan is obvious. However Rex’s brother went to Shore aswell, it isn’t blatant.

4ths for Shore looked very classy today.

Halves combo were slick and some good forward play was handy.

Reason I mention this is because this is positive news for High. Tight game in Armidale as Jim said and i’m expecting a good amount from them this year.

Joeys will be a strong team taking down Knox. The rest of the opens in W1 should be cracking. Hopefully the great GDI gets the boys across the line.

Sounds like Shore had a good day today. What was the score in the 1sts Shore versus Barker?

Bassingthwaighte joined in year 10. Let’s not accuse others of believing rubbish when your spreading misinformation.

I hear your frustration Rob. The clause that forbids such behavior has now been deleted from the charter. This will be the just like the CAS soon where this is the norm.

As always all discussion of the "word that shall not be used" should be directed here,
