Simple solution. Revert to the three teams we had running: - all three had great home grounds with broadcast facilities and great grounds for watching sport, rugby in particular (north sydney oval, parramatta oval and bluetounge) - the three trams reasonably covered the sydney region, or at...

Team list up http://austschools.rugbynet.com.au No kellaway, Milne to fullback, and short off the bench. Very interesting moves, let's hope it adds more fire power then the team had the other day. Wales will be a further step up.

On the league front, agree with what you say, and hope they do come back, but still think it is a poor use of resources for the current situation!

I have no idea who or what a "Manu" is, but will assume he is some sort of ARU guru??? If he is the head of the ARU HPU, then he should have a huge say in who is selected or not selected, as it is his head on the chopping block if the junior teams aren't succeeding, or are not producing enough...

Agree that this is the case, and that those who work hard may well find there way to the top and that the Aus Schools isn't the be all and end all. However, if we had a streamlined process of getting our footballers to the best place possible as soon as possible, would you be pumping "x"...

And there HJ is part of Australian Rugby's inherent problem!!!!!! All rugby pathways at a junior or U23 level should be built with the goal of getting the cream to the top, not playing on an individual level. Until it becomes streamlined, we are stuffed!

Have kept quiet on this thread for the past few days awaiting the squad announcement. A couple of things have caught my eye: 1. only 4 more NSW players, depsite both NSW teams competing in the final, i suspect a number of boys north fo the border can count themselves very lucky considering the...

Understand your point, but, this is what we are missing, a big unit who does make good decisions, like when to pick and go and to be that bit looser, which is generally more accepted of an 8 rather then a 4 or 5. I also think by using him there, we may be able tombringon some more size and bulk...

Bruce, I hope you're right. He is the only monster mountain I can actually see with the potential to become a darkness killer (day walker for any south park fans out there). If what you say is right, let's get this tank training at 8 and get foley feeding him some flat mid field ball and watch...

HJ, I think this is more a case of an initiative by the states and the ARU, showing signs of working?

Imagine his excitement when half of the Scots 1sts turn up next year to give them some seirous depth. Randwick could have more half backs then they know what to do with, and the thought of Horwitz, Roods and Kellaway building a backline combo that may last a number of years is enough to have any...

This is what i'm after. Am very keen on seeing a big man barrelling the ball up in loose play at about phase 7, with a very tired prop lumbering in the mid filed. This excites me! On the signing of Horwitz...... WELL F@#$!G DONE! About time someone at the tahs was lining their ducks up. He is...

Fairly confident reply. I can assure you assistance has been offered to athletes to go to Shore, in the case i know of, it was in rowing, and it was more then finances that were offered (positions within the school and such were floated), and i heard this from the boys father. And this doesn't...

Come on HJ, play nice!

According to the Balmain boys, Leichardt oval is booked at 7pm for a number of weeks in a row. Has lights, has goalposts, has TV settings?? Could be a winner. Friday night, Saturday Arvo Sunday Arvo SS games live on the ABC, now that is a great weekend of rugby!

Also someone please tell me that Roach has landed an EPS Spot. It will be seriously disappointing to see him miss out after such a stelar SS season.

I think we need to find a big backup to Cliffy. The one thing Australian rugby is missing is the big F@#! Off enforcer type. Is there anyone in the SS at the moment who has that wrecking ball feel to them? Or could we look at developing Willie S running game and turning him into the human...

This isn't overlooked by anyone at all. Would it be outside of the "principle" for Grammar to look at entry exemptions for sons of old boys (in a similar manner to the exemptions i believe are now in place at High to encourage some other backgrounded people back)? If the past eras had all of...

If Grammar have bought in dedicated sports masters to oversee the whole program with people of that quality, that is a brilliant thing, there is no reason why they shouldn't improve out of sight in the near future, and hopefully promote themselves back into the top flight.

I definately was there and the fault lies entirely with the referees apaulling management of the scrum. Scots should never have been allowed to push that far, however the ref didn't police it. I agree the Scots prop should have gone to the bin, and the pack penalised multiple time for pushing to...
