Not sure where to post this , but will try here.

Did anybody happen to watch the 2 development squads (U19 & U20) play each other on Thursday?

I know the U20 won and it was a close game.

Anyone see it? any comments on performances? Team lists?


Looks like there were no spectators.
When do they make the first cut in the U20s squad and then decide on the final squad?

There is a thread for" 2017 Under 20s Competitions including under 20s World Championship-Georgia" but there's no news on that either. It been very low key after the hype last year

Heard Randwick have 9 Aus Schools / Barbarians.
An additional 8 that played at state level.

How do they do that, or are they all just local juniors coming through?

They have an arrangement with Uni of NSW which sees boys living on campus and also receiving academic and career mentoring.

Sounds similar to Sydney University, who have also attracted great depth and talent for their club. It appears to be an advantage to have a uni nearby, or be a University Club these days. 20 years ago Sydney University was struggling as a club and were even beaten by Penrith.

As a Woodies supporter, I hope the powers to be at Eastwood can develop a similar arrangement with Macquarie University. Particularly, as Eastwood Colts were defeated by Uni Colts some 57-12.

Nor is this advantage confined to NSW. Queensland University are one of the stronger clubs up there as well. Further, Bond University are recruiting based on scholarships and can be expected to rival Queensland Uni in the coming years.

The obvious disadvantage of this phenomenon, is that it reflects a narrow social and educational base from which we draw our players. Its a pity that Parramatta and Penrith are not swamped by such talent.

The other big advantage for top end players to go to clubs close to Moore Park is the travelling involved in attending Gen Blue training sessions
Its not really fair on clubs who are along distances from Moore Park for training 4 times a week.
I think clubs should be empowered to run good weights and training programs and have the Gen Blue staff go and work with the clubs and the players then have to expect everyone come to them and have a weekly group session at Moore Park. I think this would help keep players at there local clubs then have to join clubs closer to the city and get some rental assistance.

Fenn, NRL Manly

Can anyone confirm?

I think Fenn is doing the SG Ball U18 summer comp. Not sure how likely it is he will be picked up for U20s for next year e.g. like Tyrone has been.

Manly almost never pick from their SG Ball squads - they recruit outside the insular peninsular (yes I know Fenn does not live on the Beaches?). Case in point: the talented older Johns boy, who played SG Ball this time last year was not picked up despite his pedigree. Late last year he was signed by Newcastle Knights (his father's Alma Mater of course).

While I am at it a general update on the peninsula boys:

W Manu, Year 12, Auggies
M Hingano, Syd Uni
C Prince, Randwick
J Ongosia, two year Mission, following his heart and good on him
E Fry, SG Ball I think? And after that who knows, poss league or Warringah Colts
B Gleeson, SG Ball then Manly
