    2024 Super Rugby Under 16 and 19 series (29th Sept - 3rd Nov)

    Agree on the 7 approach. Durbidge needs to broaden his skill set and contribute more broadly rather than being "the jackal". I still rate Fakafanua highly, wish he didn't end up in the Force - out of sight out of mind and not the all round development opportunities - he needs to specialise...

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    That's burning our bridges. I'd always like to keep the door open instead. Are we really going to lose the kid that didn't get the opportunity instead? Think I'm in the minority on this one however. Still think talent identification at the 19yo level in NSW is woefully flawed regardless, closely...

    U18 Academy Games and Australia U18s

    JS was, and remains, a fantastic kid. Regardless of his sporting talent he is a genuinely good human and spent a lot of time with the younger age groups. He missed both year 11 and 12 rugby seasons and desperately wanted to play. His NRL provider required otherwise which is a rare and...

    2024 Super Rugby Under 16 and 19 series (29th Sept - 3rd Nov)

    Brumbies talent identification is fantastic which they leverage to maximum advantage given the nonsense and politics that exists (at times) in the NSW and Qld junior rep systems.

    Wallabies 2024

    I’m not a fan of PE either but what are our options? How do we get kids playing rugby again? I’d love to see some stats of number of 15yo and 25yo playing rugby in 1990, 2000 etc by decade through to today. That would tell you the problem, it’s not individual talent it is lack of players which...

    Wallabies 2024

    I sympathise with the coaches, who do they build a team around. I’m quick to criticise but the reality is the talent bubbling up to put pressure on isn’t there. None of our starters in any position would get a look in at a top tier nation. Not one. That is a damning indictment on the state of...

    NSW AAGPS 2024

    Scots were my season pick, disappointed for a hugely talented bunch of boys. They were the only team to take a point off a dominant Kings team last year. They will not need any motivation to try and rain on Shores parade this weekend, should be a cracker.

    NSW AAGPS 2024

    One further comment on Joeys juniors form not necessarily flowing through to Opens. They are bloody good. Their room for improvement is much less than other schools. The 15s smoked it this year comfortably but they played very well. Their opponents were pressured into errors and missed...

    NSW AAGPS 2024

    Cut the rubbish on Joeys. Any MIC would love their depth and talent across the age groups. As a Kings supporter I’d love our juniors to get within cooee of them (I digress but 13 yo need to know how to tackle, ruck, and draw and pass - screw pods). However Joeys junior success can set up...

    Both were pretty bad. If my son was on the receiving end of either and the protagonist only got one week I’d be disgusted. Both could have caused serious injury and neither had mitigation.

    NSW AAGPS 2024

    Kings were dominant today across the park. Last week awful, this week awesome. Defense in the midfield channel absolutely belted any straight ball carriers. A lot of soft early penalties (eg two for not rolling away when clearly pinned) gave Joeys the momentum. Managed two YC well. When...
