Waverley 21 Cranbrook 12. Horrible game, never got going, but Cranbrook had a real crack.

Flavio, very astute analysis, I know a Flavio from 1979 at an Eastern Suburbs school, is that you, if so, send me a private convo, if that suits. WLF.

Gents, I think it's fair to say here is a classic case for the powers in League and Union to show their strength, or otherwise. I really hope Luca stays with Union, the time has come surely for the union hierarchy to get on the front foot, even if he has a short term contract with the...

Yes Axe, it was your Knox "the real deal" no 8 son as my reference point, and it is a true case!

Ha RC, Love you last paragraph! We all have opinions which is good. Not sure about the injury risk though I know of some serious ACL injuries that have meant no rugby season. Anyway I am sure you are right about some elements of basketball. My point really is that below the A and B level (who...

SDW, Can't see this full strength team being beaten at home, I think we are warm favs.

Joker, this is a similar argument to our Rugby winter sport, ie the alternative for precious little johnny is soccer. What happens in Summer is that most play basketball, not because they give a s... about basketball but because it only takes 40 minutes and then it's finished, and because it's...

Joker, firstly your recent pre-game synopsis was as usual bloody funny. On that note, Jethro Bodine was unknowingly also bloody funny, a rel?

Rich_E, I applaud Scots for not allowing AFL, the game where you miss and still get 1 point. I would be confident that this has resulted in more rugby teams at Scots, while nearly every other school suffers union team losses. REALLY hope they stick to that policy because the reality is...

:p QH, please don't take this the wrong way but WOW, sounds like an athletic sport! One of my old time fav TV shows was the Beverley Hillbillies, how many crawdads did New shoot? P.S. Loved Jethro!

keenas, I too watched Edmed and his was very very good. Not sure re your comparison v Harrison and Donaldson, I can only assume you mean nearly as good, certainly re running the footy, not as good, those boys were true running players who could not only kick but were prolific try scorers and try...

Whilst he is from my old school, that is an extremely rare achievement, not sure it's been done before. Congrats to him and his family, as CNP put it well. Now it's a battle,hope the ARU can win him over, he is not sold to league yet. I haven't seen a player of his ability for a long while...

Ha Hasbeen, The reason I articulated this was so it may spread, if it hasn't already, it is a fantastic communicating piece as outlined. Suggest you guys ask around at your school/s.

SDW, Don't panic, they had a game v a Welsh touring side who were pretty good. The Welsh side won 19-10, the Waves side had about 5 normal 1s starters and a dozen 2nds and 16as. It was really good for these other young boys to pull on the double V. Our water boy bench was impressive! and...

RS, I think we all agree that ultimately we have to accept the selectors opinions. I am not a Barker backer but I have to agree with Rod, Bryden has been outstanding in the rep games, and I mean very good. I also don't agree that there are many better wingers, I was at the Aussie schools...

Yes Rod, was thinking exactly the same. This forward pack has size, skill, speed and plenty of mongrel. This will be our year!

A bit excited Rod, That's fair enough, enjoy the moment!

Rich_E, Wristy and team, Congratulations to the Scotsmen, 4 in the Aussie schoolboys squad is outstanding. Well done to the coaches, parents,supporters and of course the boys.

Rod, Congratulations to Barker College, 4 in the schoolboys squad is outstanding, no surprises they all played really well throughout the tournament. Will make the coaching team very happy, and school, not to mention the RED supporters, parents and of course the boys.

UMMM... I do hope he kicks on and may well, guess I am referring to Aussie schoolboy centres when we take on the Kiwis' etc.
