I think those rugby/soccer splits are good from a rugby perspective. I have a boy who is currently going through club and school rugby and if it wasnt for all the negative comments I hear in the press, you would think junior rugby is doing reasonably well. There are also 17 in a rugby team vs...

Are the current teams impacted by players out due to athletics?

I have a boy in u10s. New rules are that if the boy is <26kg or >54kg he needs to be mandatorily assessed. That doesn’t mean he will be moved, just assessed. So under the new rules a 27kg boy can still go up against a 54kg boy in u10, ie twice the weight. How the f$&k is this safe or any new...

Agreed. It was an ill informed post from a bitter old man who needs to move on.

maybe there are deals that i dont know about but as far as im aware thats not right. Call the registrar and say you have a 3 year old and you want to enrol them for year 7. Answer "unless you enrolled them the day they were born you are unlikely to receive a spot" because there are so many...

i agree with all that. One of the 'reflective' questions is, are they doing the right thing by not chasing students with sporting ability? maybe they are, i dont know. Perhaps its both Scots and Shore who are doing the right thing because Scots is clearly very focused on winning all sports...

This is the first time I have disagreed with you. Put simply, if the school refuses to compete for sporting talent in high school years and only accepts children if they are enrolled literally the day they are born (no exaggeration) then you will not end up with the best high school sporting...

As a Kings supporter I feel a tad short changed but also feel Scots deserve the premiership. Scots won the game that counted after Kings beat Scots by the same margin. I blame the 1 round comp. Yesterday, I heard again that the gps and cas comps are joining the year after next with 2 div...

I'm not a fan of that behaviour either but if you have watched the scots 14 play lots like I have, I'm not surprised he cops a bit. Regardless, it's another brain snap by him which could have easily led to a card and changed the course of the game. I think the scots coaches have benched him in...

thanks again SS for the vid. Scots defense was immense for most of the game and probably the main difference. It's something New should learn from because New showed promise but simply leak too many points. Scots deserved the win. Kings must be disappointed after beating Scots also by 3 in a...

Yes, I agree. So, rugby administrators should be doing everything they can to make the collisions equal or close to equal, by introducing grading by weight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, maybe should have made the trip east. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, emotional because I care about a sport I love going down the toilet. No, not a north shore parent. I fear for the sport I love because there are too many people with that view, which leads to doing nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

View by 35 Scots by 20 Joeys by 10 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes absolutely. The Joeys thirds players are great and have the opportunity to play first and second if they are good enough. Not so, for the TAS players. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately too many people think like you. The answer is in the chart. If this was followed that incident doesn't happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have only seen TAS play once but was impressed. There are a couple of TAS players that should be playing in first or second grade Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, more kids would regrade down than regrade up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
