Your kidding, I said contracted players, so they have committed to another code!

They are taking an Opportunity that Union can not provide, hopefully that will change. I am sure if an opportunity came for your Boy to be contracted to a NRL Club you wouldn't push it aside.

And they have trained their guts out for school union all season and are entitled to be picked !

If the NRL is the dream,then good on them.
But taking the cash from League,and taking the kudos and the trip/s from Rugby,should be mutually exclusive.
Good luck to them with their future in League,but Schoolboy Rugby tours should be about developing future Rugby players.
Is 28 degrees the "cut off" temperature for 15 minute hydration breaks in games?

The ground level itself will be Hot, in this sort of weather the trainers should be able to run on when needed. Hope the kids are getting plenty of Power aids an hour before the game to avoid cramps.

Really ????Rock, you've gone a bit mad, your now answering yourself!
What if the NRL contracted boy comes from CCC or CHS and does not play any Rugby all season except for the Schoolboy Champs games?
No training their guts out for School rugby all season there.

Including ISA, I don't think that is fair at all But that would have to be up to the ASRU and Selectors on what they think and if they have another player who can play that position well. The Rules and the Criteria are in place and that's the way it is until changes are made.

Generally a lot of the boys from the CCC and CHS teMs play village rugby!

Very true, however it is a tough one. A lot of teenagers have not made up their minds as they love both games.
This years CCC 16s side had a fantastic 15 year old fly half pull out due to his selection in the 15s CCC league team. He's with the Knights for next year's Harold Matts but will be the first picked for the CCC 16s Union if he's fit. This boy, like many other talented youngsters, loves both games it's just that the guidance and feedback he gets from the leaguies is much more personal; he sees more of a pathway there and is already being mentored by Danny Buderus. If the Junior Gold Cup program is done properly then this may provide opportunities, but until youngsters are given personal attention, with clear pathways showing that they 'belong' to something bigger than themselves, league will always have the upper hand.....It's a shame, but probably will keep happening since there' so only one professional club (waratahs) on an equal footing with all the other NSW NRL clubs, who have their own junior teams and comps, such as the Holden Cup.
That's' enough serious chatter, give me Union any day of the week; and on that note, how are the Schools going? Any score updates for those who couldn't get to the game?
