    NSW AAGPS Rugby 2014

    Wanting to play with your club mates in a Grand Final as a teenager is understandable. Changing schools when an adult in authority rules against you could be seen as a dummy spit. While he never ran over the top of me or one of mine, his Kings (ex)-team mates may have felt that he ran AWAY...

    NSW AAGPS Rugby 2014

    To Riverview's credit, I thought their first half against Scots in the first round was one of the best halves of schoolboy rugby I've seen in a long time. They were quick and aggressive in defence and crisp and smart in attack. Unfortunately, fatigue, the wind and a yellow card saw them come...

    Just after midday and blue skies and sunshine across the eastern suburbs. Based on the last few weeks, I expect a downpour from around 3.15pm

    I don't think I've ever disputed that.

    CAS Rugby 2014

    Great calls by Big Kev in 2 out of the 3 games and he came unstuck thanks to Waverley's unpredictable form, which is no disgrace. A great CAS season and no red faces at Cranbrook with last week's result a forgotten memory already.

    If only Scots hadn't taken their 'turn' in unfairly offering inducements, we could have been back to the good old days of Joey's dominance of winning 100% of the games played and they may have been able to add to their already disproportional number of GPS premierships. And while I wasn't at...

    I'd like to ask a fair dinkum, innocent question that probably reflects a level of naivety and ignorance of the first 250 odd pages of this forum and a displays evidence that I may nit have actually thought the matter through to any great extent. But why don't academic scholarships to schools...

    You're commenting on a post referring to the oval and surrounding facilities at Knox (although I preferred it when the far side of the ground was not restricted access - I'm one of those spectators that likes to move up and down the sideline to get a close view of the action throughout the...

    CAS Rugby 2014

    Although watching cranbrooks professional super rugby style of taking the points at any opportunity makes washing my hair a far more entertaining and viable alternative. I'm happy do declare a Cranbrook bias (developed over the previous 6 years watching them struggle, first hand) but you...

    Being fairly new to this website and this forum in particular, and not having time to have gone back over 250+ pages of discussion, I was unaware of the commenter's status. So rather than making a dogmatic point without basis (as seems to be how many contributors operate here), I specifically...

    CAS Rugby 2014

    Depending on the result against Aloys this week, I doubt anyone associated with a Cranbrook premiership, if that's the way it pans out, will be red faced. Should Cranbrook win, perhaps Knox will look back on their 2014 performance at Queens Park and be red faced for years to come. Winners tend...

    No doubt the binning was the turning point. But it's unusual for a team reduced to 14 players to concede 4 tries in 10 minutes. Especially in such a close fought match. As I've said earlier, it just seems the Riverview boys were out of gas and couldn't relieve any pressure because the breeze...

    Especially running into a "three try wind" in the second half!

    C'mon IS - you're smarter than this. Unfounded responses which are so remote from the original point (whether the breeze or whether the effect of the week's commentary getting into the Scots players' minds influenced the halftime score) aren't up to your usual informed and coherent banter. I'm...

    Which argument? That all 8 tries were scored at one end - by whichever team had the wind behind them? Or that 3 to 4 penalty kicks into the breeze from inside the 20 metre line failed to find touch? Or the argument that the halftime score was due to the Scots boys being psyched out by newspaper...

    I was there. And I had more than just a 'quick squiz' at the entire game while actually standing on the sideline looking into the breeze. And while it wasn't a gale, there was enough evidence to suggest that it was certainly influential. Apart from the obvious 8 tries all scored down one end of...
