And my ball ... ... ... Don't Forget to bring my ball as well :D And while your there can you also bring my glass of beer; it's the one that is half full!!!! :D :D :D Cheers HJ!

I didn't say anything about timing! As far as I'm concerned play sevens or tens during winter. Seriously who cares as long as the kids are getting exposed to rugby! With that said the point of 'Brain Storming' is to encourage as many ideas as possible; I made a suggestion and encountered...

Smoke and mirrors my good friend! The 'Eastern Australian Islanders' are still smiting from there self termed 'uncharacteristic' loss last year to the Aus Schoolboys! Suffice to say they have planned a softening up (come ambush) match against the Samoan schoolboys four days before the main...

Mate I'm coming from a position where the target market does not play rugby! Please refer to my post again. In addition, I am not just focusing on teenagers (however they should be the immediate interest with Brazil on the horizon). I am talking about targeting children 9 years and upwards from...

I know others have said it and I will repeat it again! Sevens Rugby is the way to go! Why? Firstly, the brand is soon going to be associated with the most coveted sporting award in the world, 'Olympic Gold'! Secondly, rugby per se needs to tap into the ever growing outer suburbs of Sydney...

Gentlemen let me present to you what happened in league this year. The NSWRL (the peak body in NSW) selected an U/17 team to play the touring English U/18's. Initially selected in this team were Moeroa and Milne (both Dual Coders). Inelligible for selection were lads who were selected in the...

Zulu, No-one is having a crack at the boys selected; we are merely highlighting the problem with the current structures! The selection of this team exemplifies this point! As stated by others in this thread; the name NSWJRU itself connotes that this team is the best U/17 team NSW has to...

From my understanding there has been a change in guard at the SJRU! Hopefully they can bring it back to a decent standard! I'm sorry but for mine there is a need to convert some of the positions within the SJRU to paid roles (i.e. $$$$$$). Each league district has a paid official co-ordinating...

HJ, I agree with your whole statement, especially the points I have extracted above! So bloody true!

I concur with Whateva! A Admittedly the NSWCCC system contains a potential wealth of rugby talent (and are the current national league champions in both age groups). To get them on board there would have to be sustained campaign!

After seeing the photos of the NSWJRU team selections I went and reviewed the team to see how many of the same lads were selected for higher rep honours in the schools this year! Not many! Admittedly they are only u/17's, however the very name 'U/17 NSWJRU' connotes that such players should...

HJ, On the money again I see. Well constructed arguments! Accordingly, and as per usual, i will throw my opinion in as well. As some of the more frequent members to this forum know, I often mix in the league circles where junior reps is concerned. As a consequence I often get to speak to 'Dual...

A PREDICTION! Watch out for a lad called Jordan Loto'aniu (SJRU). Gun player! He is a 'Dual Coder' however it is my understanding that he stopped playing league and concentrated on Rugby once his stint with the Bulldogs HM team ended in May! Had a great season for the Doggies this year in the...

What a team! Most went on to become legends, some even legends in both codes (I.e. Michael O'Connor - current Oz Sevens coach - dual international - State of Origin Immortal). And the Ella's! There has been no comparison since!

Can we open this up to junior coaches or just schools?

LETTER TO BOB: Mr Bob Dwyer PO Box 650 Rose Bay NSW 2029 Dear Bob, RE: Wallabies Coaching Position Ever since you left Australian Rugby it has never been the same. Again we need your uncanny ability to select '2nd Grade Randwick Props' from relative obscurity and turn them into supermen...

I know that I will probably cop some flack over what I am about to say but I will continue nevertheless. It is my position that the blame cannot be laid solely at the feet of Robbie Deans, after all Australia's rugby problems (i.e. its inability to win the Bledisloe Cup or the World Cup) existed...

Haven't followed the ITM since it was called the Air New Zealand NPC. I have noticed that the divisions have fewer teams. Admittedly I'm surprised to see the power house provinces of Otago and Nth Harbour in the second division! On the other hand happy to see the Bumble Bees in top division...

A F-ing hatrick; he scored a hatrick; he must be feeling absolutely gutted! There is only one explanation for this outcome; young Harry has bedded a few daughters of the Aus Schools coaching staff. Perhaps even a wife or two; perhaps he had them altogether! How else would you explain this...

No Harry Jones! F-me what more did the kid have to do - beat the All Blacks single handedly - with a blind fold and one arm tied behind his back? I'm rarely lost for words but that is bullshit decision no matter which way you look at it!
