I have nothing against scholarships, especially long term ones, but I think Skevs would add more value to Vic rugby from a holistic perspective if instead of picking a superstar centre from and Vic U16 rep team they picked up a superstar centre from the U16 Illawarra-Hunter rep team (just an example).
They need to bring new players into the system that'll pressure for rep spots rather than similar shifting talent from the club comp to the school comp for half the season. They need to improve Vic rugby rather than just defusing the talent.
Does that make sense?
Anyone able to ID a quality openside running around that we could of put on the pine instead of Hodson? Nothing against the guy, just thought it would of been a prime opportunity for a VIC.
Who? Jack De Guingand?Currently there are two Victorian Junior rep players who are both 20 and have both started Shute Shield games at 7 this year.
Why were neither of them called? Who knows.
Who? Jack De Guingand?
And that Oz Schools no8 from Endeavour. I wouldn't of thought of him as an opensider but he was playing there for Easts.
Isn't Edwin Maka signed for Toulouse?
Also I liked the look of their 5, named Steve Walsh IIRC, he was a good ball runner and a hard grafter. Hitting rucks and making tackles like a man possessed.
They knocked off House and Quins in back to back games and apparently looked very good in doing so.Also good on Endeavour, talk preseason was that they were going to be rubbish.
Exciting utility back Richard Kingi will miss out again with his hamstring injury proving slow to heal, however, backrower Tom Chamberlain has finally been given the all-clear to resume playing after suffering a head knock in late March. He will play club rugby in Melbourne.
From the Australian, I can only assume he will be playing for one of the P1 teams instead of Maroondah.
