This lad sounds like an excellent prospect for The Bye given the above circumstances! Anyone who can make such a fist of a non-application would be an asset to The Bye in these difficult times!

BW,
You have had too many sherbets. The real and original Rugby Mum was the hot sort at the rissole. Rugby Mum 2 is the uppity North Shore lass

My snout in the NGS said that the boys had a full day session with Michael Jeh (http://michaeljeh.com/) about the life skills aspects of being a professional athlete. Parents were invited to attend the last hour of the day. As well as the presenter there was apparently a hard arse Senior Sergeant from the Police there to present the "facts from the street".
Reports from parents and boys was very positive. Well done ARU.

Bit of a surprise to see more ISA representation than CAS.
Have you got a breakdown by association - ISA vs CAS vs CCC vs CHS in particular. Obviously GPS numbers will be high.
If there are large (or increasing) numbers of CCC and CHS kids in the programme, it could imply that there are programmes in place to grow Rugby in these "target rich" environments.
George Smith, do you have the breakdown for the NGS?

Did the ARU put out a list or is this "inside information"?

I'd wager to suggest that George Jnr is in the Programme.
With a boy in the programme and the way facebook is nowdays, it probably didn't take too much to assemble the list.
George's lists are usually pretty much on the money.

How do you remember all the hotties???? I was flat out remembering the drink order let alone the bar staff

This a very useful breakdown George, I can use this down in the Illawarra to help overcome the Private school preception issue as:
- Holy Spirit Bellambi got 3 in (Gareth Thomas, Kieran Bonin and Tristan Green, some of you have been following these guys).
- Berkley sports high got at least 2 (Tommy Sawden, Reece Hewat).
- Many from other CCC schools and CHS.

@ Hughie,
Those figures would be good to see.
For the Metro I see that ISA have 12 (Augies) + 9 (Oakhill) + 8 (Pats) = 29 compared with CAS 8 (knox) + 6 (trinity) + 3 (Barker) = 17, and CHS 6 (Westfields) + 5 (Hills) + 4 (Endeavour) + 4 (Prairewood) = 19.
Metro CCC Schools dont seem to get much of a look in with no one School seeming to have more than 3.
Be aware that there ar apparently 40 Metro boys tucked away in the NGS (Sydney) which may slightly skew George Smiths initial figures.
I would imagine that the Scots numbers (currently 4) would increase slightly as I am aware of at least 4 Scots boys in the NGS.
Some of the boys you mentioned performed with credit in the National U16's for NSW Country team.

That list is far too detailed to be derived from FB or George Jnr's knowledge given that George Jnr would only know about boys at his JGP venue and then again probably only the boys in his age bracket. Given that the ARU has not published a list as they did last year I expect George Snr has some relationship with the ARU Jnr HPU either directly or perhaps as one of their talent scouts.

Gents,
The list is from the initial invitations only. Since then quite a few lads declined and some were given late invitations to NGS.

Burraneer U15's got 1 into the NGS and 5 into the JGP. 2 had invites and the other four trailed to get in.

Yeah........ sure George.
We're watching you. Be vewy vewy careful.
Actually you are probably right CTPE, that was a very good list and would have taken some extraction.
Also agree with Hughie, it is a perception .... any ammunition is good ammunition in this case.

Ted Thorn (20)
Hughie, I understand what you are trying to achieve but you will fall into statistical error due to small samples as you drill down. If you want to take the argument to your stakeholders in the Illawarra I suggest you contact the HPU guys and ask for specific stats for your argument. If you don't get any joy then come back to G&G and we will help you!
