Just 1 from the Brumbies.Very lazy. You nail it with that.
Some of the Rebels players would feel hard done by IMO. They would have beaten QLD 2 and been able to show more.
None from the Western Force.

Do you know what happened to the original Aus school championships? With NSW 1,NSW 2 and why now they don't select the best players in those teams. IMO i think they are far greater to what we have currently.Will be more in the Barbarian side. The lack of other states doesn’t concern me as the best players should be selected and a kid shouldn’t be picked from WA just because they feel the need to have 1 in there.
Different story if you’re talking about an indicator of development. In that case it’s not a great result.
RA and the Super sides look after the Gen Blue and equivalents to streamline it. They are a seperate entity to the Australian Schools Rugby Union who ran the Championships. don’t get along.Do you know what happened to the original Aus school championships?

Are you taking two 7s in the squad? I wouldn’t be. And Marshall is still working towards the level that Durbridge is at. Jono Ryan tough selection call. I would have picked him as 6/7 cover
Yes he's a gun. Let's hope we don't lose him to League now, if players like him and James Warner keep on missing out on these teams , then NRL teams will quickly snap them up.I think when you are a developmental program you pick all the standouts regardless of position, to keep those standout kids in the game. And I think Le Maitre is a standout.
Yes, they're both great League players and athletes, who have the potential to be great players in both codes.Does they play much league?
Again, boys need to realise the fools gold offered. First name that comes to mind is Charlie Rorke going to the Raiders to just play a handful of games for Mounties before being let go.
He’s done very well to get to the stage he has whilst still being yr 11. Every chance he’ll be named in the Barbarians which get to play Australian Schools on the 23rd September. The no.7 is probably the most competitive spot in Australian sides.

It's not Barker mate, no money gets thrown around.I hope the Shore boys are paying you for all this advertisement.
Le Maitre is more like to succeed as a league player post school. The codes really aren’t that interchangeable.Yes, they're both great League players and athletes, who have the potential to be great players in both codes.
Surely you should be able to do both play Aus schools boys then -> gen blue … they’re making it harder than it needs to be ..Rugby Australia and the Super sides look after the Gen Blue and equivalents to streamline it.

It’s easy to bash the current set up and want the past but it has created a more straight line pathway and allows young players who are out of school the ability to play like Ekanayake. We’ve winged for years that we need to get hold of the talent and Gen Blue does this. It gets them inside the Tahs walls just like SG Ball, Harold Matthew’s etc. NSW schools didn’t. It was courtesy of Tahs coaches came and helped out.
Schools still exist but it’s effectively Aus A now.
They should run it IMO as more games are better and the Super supported programs should run their own round robin with a grand final.
You’d hope so but Rugby do what Rugby does and they fight with each other.Surely you should be able to do both play Aus schools boys then -> gen blue … they’re making it harder than it needs to be ..
It goes to show how much league fear mongering gets thrown around on these forums. I read on one of these GPS threads about 12 months ago that Le Maître had already signed with the Raiders and about 6 months before that that former Shore boy Jackson Steil had signed with the Dolphins.Le Maitre is more like to succeed as a league player post school. The codes really aren’t that interchangeable.
Thought he was already signed at South’sLe Maitre is more like to succeed as a league player post school. The codes really aren’t that interchangeable.
