I understand what you're saying coach, but I think there's a significant difference between 'History' (the field of study) and 'a history' which, in this case, was more suggestive of a consistent pattern of (mis)behaviour. It was good of you, though, to concede that the 'wicks have also been at...

Ha ha - that's rich, coming from a Randwick supporter!! And how does a lone example from 'a few years ago' constitute 'a history'?!?!

And I daresay the 'wicks have promised him a starting spot in 1sts Colts next year..... I'm sorry for your son's disappointment, but don't be surprised if it continues next year when he likely plays 3rds Colts because they'll have recruited half a dozen other players in his position and...

Who's the replacement - Kuenzle?

I thought Chatswood Oval was bad last year when Souths 3rd & 4th grades had to play some make-up games......until Colts had to play their make-up games last week at St Luke's Oval, Concord.......I'm not even sure you can dignify what they use with the term 'lights' - fuck knows how many injuries...

Thanks HJ!

What happened with the Warringah v Parramatta 1st & 2nd Grade Colts games?

And, sadly, while he's an absolute wrecking ball with ball in hand, he still scrummages like an inside centre........which may not matter so much at school level, but will give him grief in later years. The Joeys front row had him under pressure and going backwards at every scrum - except for...

And Tyrone selected on the wing......

Looks like BK makes his long-awaited return to 1sts, and Turner shifts out to #12 and Lawson goes to #13 - Rory Lynch comes back in to #8 & Hamish Duvall goes down to 2nds but must be unfortunate in that he appears to be paying the price for the backline's defensive lapses (definitely not his...

Haven't seen any of the games this year, beyond the odd snippet of video, but after watching the 11-odd minutes of the New vs View game, I'm surprised that the Newington TH (Helu) gets a spot in the TOTW. It's always hard to gauge from a highlights package but he seemed to struggle in the few...

Newington must be light-on for locks if this is the case - Goodman was a very good hooker in last year's 2nd XV and played a lot like Hugh Roach in that extra flanker role. Unless he's grown significantly in the off-season it'd be hard to see him in the 2nd row. BTW - New 2nds are coached by...

Yes, that's true, FF (Folau Fainga'a), but of course you have to have the extra $20-25k to pay for it!

SDW - based on our experience at a school other than Scots, I'd have to suggest that any boy playing in either the 1st or 2nd XV was doing their ATAR chances a significant amount of harm, unless they were boarding or doing pathways. In the case of my son (2nd XV), there was the requirement of a...

An audit of player points sounds like a great idea, and perhaps financial penalties or the loss of competition points where breaches are identified should be factored in. Re the Easts vs Souths 1st grade game - as the coach pointed out, the run-on team for Easts totalled 38 player points, with...

Completely agree, H - calling uncontested scrums because of concern about exceeding the points is totally unacceptable, and Easts should be ashamed of themselves!

Where are Trinity playing Wayland? Front or back-row?

^^^^^^^^ Ahhh.... that explains it - thanks! I was beginning to feel like a complete novice when I couldn't seem to get anywhere.
