I only said it was as bad as mine. I dont actually have a problem with it, but watch out for Lindo, he is the grammar nazi. Now you mention it I remember Hand signing for the Brumbies. My mistake. They obviously agree that he is a better option than Big Al.

Good luck getting Colleagues to travel West. Most of them probably dont have their passports available.

I have heard some talk of Ben Hand returning to Australian rugby having had a year in Italy. He probably fits into the Marty Wilson category of having had a shot yet not been able to crack it. I guess there are worse options as a back up, although the likes of Wilson and Hand wouldnt be able...

Thats harsh but was also a very stupid call by the Barker kid. Even if it was after the game he was still suggesting the ref was biased. Had he gone up and said "you are f?$king shit" he probably would have got away with a slap on the wrist. On a similar note I was pretty stupid earlier this...

No, the NSW guy was Palmer.

I did notice both the Centenary and accumulating mistakes as soon as I saw it posted, but as you say, its a school thread so probably quite fitting. Were there any others? As for grammatical errors, I never really bother when writing emails or posts to try and be technically correct. I'm sure...

So are they on Music scholarships to play the triangle? edit: spelling just for Lindommer

Yeah was for Scots Centenry year in 1993. Was the first real case of importing kids by non catholic schools. Joeys and Iggys had been importing players even back in the 1970's, but as we know most King's boys are slow learners so its not surprising they took 30 years to catch on. I remember my...

PB. Have you seen this article from The Austrlian last week?

Wow. 12-15 all from one school. Has one school ever dominated a NSW 1's backline like that since Matraville days? Not even Joeys would have had more than that in one backline I would suggest. Interesting about lack of Polynesian kids. You could aslo note that there are very few CHS kids but...

Re: GPS & CAS Teams Wow, a GPS team with only 2 Joeys kids. When was the last time that happened? Cant say I'm a fan of the new schoolboy season with these teams getting picked before the season starts and having the main comps over two terms. What are the reasons they went this way?

and if you pinch Sharpe back from the Force you can put him at 13. With these new laws you need options.

Was a prop at school but moved to the 2nd row when he started at Eastwood. They would probably keep him at prop these days since Sherridan and other tall props have come onto the scene. Bit surprised the Brumbies have picked him up after the Tahs let him go but I guess it just shows the lack...

Heard on the weekend that the Tahs are still after Campbell and he is likely to sign. All the more important given that Caldwell has been given a very nice offer by Stade Francais and is in the process of getting his visa sorted out. I guess that means that Mumm will be staying a 2nd rower and...

Yeah ditto. Thank god it was last game of the season for me. Tour to Sardinia was a great success. After arriving on Friday and having a suitably huge first day/night we were all feeling pretty dusty when we turned up at the ground to watch Alghero's first grade team play before we played their...

I suffered the biggest ever defeat of my life on the weekend... 69-0. To be honest we were not that much worse in 11 of the 15 positions. Its just that our front row was completely and utterly smashed and we didn?t win a single lineout so we didn?t stand a chance. I played 7 for the first time...

Love the account NTA. Someone is going to have to film you in action and post it so we can all give some constructive criticism and perhaps compare you to a few of our favourite players. I'm picturing the size and fitness of Blake, the workrate of Sharpe, the discipline of Sheehan, the...
