Any word on any changes for the Waratahs under 18s?

And there is one of the challenges we Aussie face; not enough footy! Here’s a snapshot of what a prominent NZ School had last year….

Knox options (1 removed, 2 added: not sure of any other changes but sure there’s a few with the top ~45 playing an internal trial last weekend) 1. Bergstrom (2s)/Patton (16s)/Smith(16s)/Stanley(3s) 2. Haslam (1s)/Kooyman (16s)/Severino (16s)/Smart (16s)/Whiteman (4s)? 3. Kooyman (16s)/Koterac...

agree - unfortunately TOTW style reviews usually recognises outstanding individual efforts, and don't often recognise many players that contribute better to the team performance (eg simply doing their jobs off the ball - supporting the 'stars')...

Pretty much agree BUT whilst Shecks scrummaging v Uys was impressive, his lack of game time in the last year was hugely evident around the park ; thought Slater was the better all round TH followed by Bloomfield….

Lots, most of last seasons Waratahs U16s backline playing league and a few forwards

This commentator has been stitched up massively with wrong jersey numbers and even duplicates!

League both O Smith and H Bloomfield (always played TH Prop?) playing hooker - could be interesting dilemma for Kings 1XV, GPS coaches/selectors going forward...

Risati and others chose League (Harold Matt’s) perhaps?

god forbid we'd promote the fixture...... only a State v State game whilst Harold Matts and SG Ball do their suburban slug fests

Any squad lists for the academy series (unfortunately postponed)?

Not unreasonable, but WHY is there basically ZERO marketing/PR around this fixture?? No squad/hype announcements for either RA/Reds/Waratahs that I can unearth… state rep pathways are a huge advantage Union has but no one amplifying it??

Still nothing and kick off in less than 72hrs!?

Even being nervous of the repercussions as a Knox supporter, as the younger age groups are currently struggling before recruitment seems to help), I hope for the long term health of the code that a decent weighting of ranking points is given to the younger age groups…. Will hopefully then...

Following! Asked same questions a few weeks ago but also can’t find anywhere ; perhaps they’re waiting for a few dual code kids to commit either way?

Nailed. It. Hear Hear! Some real green shoots out there in "coaching focus starting earlier", but not enough
