Hello Agent, It seems I may have pushed a button you didn't want pushed there......or did. The answer is YES, the reffing between the central west area and the Sydney region is vastly different and I'm shocked to know you think it isn't. Like @LookLongPlayShort said, the refereeing in the...

Coming from a neutral fan.....I personally can't agree with the statement that Pius were robbed. If you rewatch the footage it was a clear penalty against Pius, due to the number 8 not placing the ball when going for the second effort. Along with that, I thought the reffing wasn't too bad...

I was looking to watch the replay of Barker vs Oakhill, as I heard the scoreline favored Barker 67-5 and I was really surprised. I remember seeing earlier in the week that game would be streamed on NSW Rugby TV. I went on the website to watch the replay but I couldn't find it anywhere. Did they...

Quick shoutout to the NSW boys who were elected the best player in their respective teams: NSW 1's Best Player - Dylan Simmons NSW 2's Best Player- Oscar Cleary Both of these young men are impeccable rugby players and are simply just machines on the field. They're both strong and powerful...

IMO I have been very impressed with the starting back-row for NSW 2. I believe they are all ISA boys who at some point have represented AUS in rugby. I personally believe they are a force to be reckoned with, not only are they are agile and have strong running games, but their defense and...

Hey WLF3, I couldn't agree more with this statement. But another thing that mind boggles me, is the fact Oakhill and Auggies have had strong rugby programs for YEARS. And I totally agree, the catchment area has most likely has played a significant role in that.

I remember hearing about this a couple months ago and I was astonished, and the fact that Barker snagged BOTH of them is out of this world. IMO last year St Augustine's 1XV were the best team in NSW. I believe they went undefeated and took down multiple schools such as Knox, Waverley, Joeys...

In regard to this subject, I need some advice from people. It's obvious to say that year in and year out Waverlye's younger years always seem to dominate...like all the time. My question is why hasn't this been translating to Waverley's Opens boys, specifically the 1XV 15. Obviously they went...

Shoutout to the following ISA boys who cracked the NSW Schools team. Congrats Lads! -Chayse Geros AUG -Cyrus Bloomfield OAK -Jack Bronwn SPX -Flynn Farrell OAK -Oscar Clear KWS -Sele Mainakavika STA -Noah Rylands AUG -Harper Shaw KWS -Ewan Coates AUG -Casey Bray AUG -Beau Alexander AUG

Another dominant win by St Aug's really sets them up for a great post-season against the top CAS schools. But despite this I cant help but feel for the boys in Orange. They certainly got off to a terrible start by losing against Pats and Gregs ( Both games in Orange mind you). But after watching...

Couldn't agree more, after watching them play against Oakhill, where they held their own, their front row are strong, physical but most importantly just super skilled. Either three of them have the ability to make ISA 1s. In regard to their number 12 if he is not picked for inside centre in the...

I know it was mentioned before on the forum (Sorry can't find the post) but is Callum Grantham the best schoolboy conversion kicker we've ever seen. I saw some stats and Grantham was leading the goal-kicking by a long margin. When was the last time he missed? This skill is so important for any...

Anyone have any intel from the ISA trials today at Oxford Falls ?

Well Well Well, If anyone remembers (I doubt it) I made this post 3 months ago about every teams biggest threat along with a predicted outcome for best ISA player and team. And with just over halfway in the ISA competition I have definitely been both right and wrong with my predictions. To help...

Every Teams Biggest Threat: OAK: This is a hard one ...... So many great players too choose from that come from both the forward pack and the backline. After watching some games last year I'll have to pick Flynn Farrell. His ability to both control the ruck and tempo of the game is phenomenal...
