    Disco's Wallabies player ratings Bledisloe 1

    Disco, I think that is a pretty fair assessment. Its tough when your best is a 34 year old heading into retirement; more worrying is the fact he is the one that showed the most intensity and passion

    Reds 2013

    Browing was outstanding for Uni yesterday against Sunnybank particularly at the breakdown. He has transitioned from Schoolboy to Prem Grade quickly and well and is surely a "moral" for a Reds EPS contract next year

    QLD Premier Colts 2012

    I believe Wests were missing 2 props this evening and it certainly showed in the tight and in the application of muscle at the breakdown - they were clearly outmanned here and scrums went uncontested in the second half. That deficiency does not, how ever, explain the final score line. To a...

    QLD Premier Colts 2012

    Indications are UNI is attempting to play an expansive game but as you realise, you cant go wide before going foreward. The pigs will provide good ball for the backs from their own set pieces and some of the oppositions (2 or 3 Tight heads against GPS on Saturday) Uni had the ability to play...

    QLD Premier Colts 2012

    Over the last few weeks I have watched the UNI - Brothers -Sunnybank- GPS suite of trials and there is a evenness of quality across Uni, Sunnybank and GPS such that I expect all three to repeat their final appearances of last year. The margins in the trials Uni played against Sunnybank (lost)...

    Seven of the Uni Premier Colts pack are again colts eligible in 2012 with only one of the hookers moving to grade.Player to add to that pack are Curtis Browning, Campbell Wakely (Aust A hooker last year?) and a very under rated No 4 in Angus Ryan, the Downland captain of last year. A fair bit of...

    National Academy 2012

    Lee, Thank you for your report on the game - perceptive and informative as always. Your comments on Willie could apply to a lot of young men progressing through Colts to grade and highlight the importance of the coaches and mentors who make the difference to young men who may have size and...

    First Junior Coaching Role.

    Get a good manager and agree on the standards you are going to apply particularly relating to parent support and behaviour. You may loose some parents and kids early but it will make it a lot more enjoyable for everyone concerned

    Prostate Cancer Screening

    We are talking about 50 and up ( that includes me) but I also have elected not to undergo annual testing due largely to the false positives the testing throws up and the fact that whilst a percentage of people live with it, a far, far smaller percentage die of it. You are more likely to die...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    I dont believe that Terrace have lowered their moral standard in any way by their acceptance of all round sporting ability as a legitimate consideration for entry to the school at at the standard entry points of Year 5 and 8. It is vastly different to offering entry to boys in term 4 Year 10 who...
