I'm not sure why this post is in this thread as Parahi played Austschools in 2006 from memory.
Easts were unlucky however that was the second time Randwick beat them this year - the Wicks game plan seemed to be to out tackle them and thats how they won. The Beasts gave away a lot of penalties when the Wicks were pressing their line. Are the Beasts players all returning next year?What about Easts? Beat them twice and let Randwick win in a poor semi.

When do these clubs start to contact the players to restock their colts sides. I have heard some players they are already in discussions and some have already signed to clubs. I also know several OZ schoolboys that have had no contact whatsoever with any clubs.

and phil waugh!!!!!suprised uni didnt have kingston playing with everyone else that was allowed too
I watched every game but one played by Uni this year and in my view the toughest opposition by far were Randwick in the semi. They really gave it to Uni who were close to full strength and Randwick were unlucky on the day. The two losses to Easts were by the odd point or two against Uni sides that were not at full strength. Yesterday Uni played their best team who played to their full potential against a gallant Eastwood who never gave up but were never really were in the game, and it showed in the result.
It will be interesting to see how Uni recruit in the off season as some of the big names are moving on and will leave a number of gaps. Their seconds colts were outstanding and won every game this year and they may choose to blood these younger players rather than conduct a major recruitment drive. They certainly have some talent returning next year.
Tragically for Uni they were indeed understrength when Manly smashed them on this day. You see English and Matt Mafi were "forced" to play grade so therefore were unavailable. They played 2s and then came off the bench for Ones.And I suppose Uni were also below strength when Manly beat them.
If the points system is too difficult why not simply implement what i have advocated for a number of years - if you aren't a student at Sydney Uni you cant play for them therefore the Lamonts, Talakais,Armours, Sullivans just to name a few would play with their local clubs leaving Uni to be what it should be teams comprised of Syd Uni undergraduates eg Goodman,Melrose etc.Lily, like I said last week it was win at all costs. I got the halfbacks wrong, Helliwell was a fresh reserve for 3rd grade then colts. He had played league for most of the season. I know the circumstances surrounding the points loss but they went undefeated in 2009 so it had no affect. Uni have Baden Stephenson on the Points System Stearing Commitee so why would the system change. I agree the points system hasn't changed a thing. I don't understand why Colts 1 isn't 30 points. Every club would need to rely on locals not imports.
