Pretty high if you move from your local High School to a GPS School at the age of 15 or 16!

Sounds great if they were still in Primary School,but they are not. This is an important development pathway for players hoping for a career. For people to take up these spots,who are already committed to another code,because they can, is wrong.

I think it might be.

He wasn't robbed.He had a few chances to impress and didn't. he didn't play badly,but did not excel. Maybe a little unlucky when you consider who was picked. But in fairness he is not as versatile. League the Stronger code? Of the 4 I know of that trialed.One had great footwork and a fend,the...

If he has a contract to play Rugby League for this year and has a bonus written in his contract,if he makes Mungo Schoolboys,and he has a contract for next year,WTF is he doing at a Rugby selection trial this year?

Of course they were told to send it out to Jones' wing.He is electric isn't he?

27 out of 46 in the squad (60%) 21 of 3o starters (70%) Actually the facts now outweigh the perception. Who would have thought 6 Schools would have supplied 70% of the starters in the NSW Squads?

My impressions on last nights games were CAS Forwards were much improved.Perhaps injuries last week during the game flattered the CHS pack? I thought the GPS II's halves were significantly better performed than the I's boys. Surprising to see a GPS 1's 9 that is not comfortable passing both...

Hounding out? Seemed contrived to me.

The more things change, the more they stay the same?

I don't think it's an issue whether Horwitz was selected or not. He has been in Schoolboy rep teams and ARU squads for a few years, He was on their radar,and would definitely have been considered. It's the fact that nearly all of those considered, required a similiar Schoolboy scrapbook,is why...

Given that only GPS students have been selected in living memory,I would suggest that loophole does not exist. ...IMO

Stokes,I don't think you are taking the opposition into account,when comparing performances. CCC was beaten comprehensively by CHS. It stands to reason that ISA 1's would also have beaten CCC by in excess of 50. So I think you need to temper your enthusiasm for some of the II's players to some...

The ISA backs were superb, but your best players were a winger and 2 forwards? Those 2 forwards must have been feeding the winger all day then? I didn't think Walker played league?

Was it 70? The scrum was dominated quite a few times,and lost their first feed, which is unusual with such a scoreline.
