How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Truly was a belter at Wigan last Saturday and if the International is half as good it will be another cracker of a game.
Wigan were for the last twenty minutes of the first half streets ahead of the Aussies, but an injury list that was horrendous in the second half plus a sending off, knocked them out of their stride.
Still they defended manfully, finishing the match with 4 of last seasons U16s having to take the field.
Get to Leigh if you like tough all action R/L it ought to be a treat, already got our tickets for the game plus those for the 2nd test the following Friday evening.

I was hugely impressed by the way the Wigan team stood up to the sheer size of the Aussies. Until the last 15 minutes it could still have gone either way but Wigan ran out of bodies. A series of serious injuries meant that the local x-ray machine was well used. Because the game was played with no limit on substitutions the Aussies were able to bring on fresh legs whilst Wigan ended up with no one on the bench fit to play. This was a brutal game and although on a number of occasions Wigan's slicker passing and footwork created space the sheer speed of the cover defence was incredible. We may have seen some future stars on show.

Can't we do what the Aussie first team does? Hold down, take out their kicker, have our own ref, have his brother as video ref and then disallow some of their perfectly good tries?
Typical incompetent RFL. We can't cheat as well as the Aussies.

Interesting. Is that a new thing? Previously, the only requirement was to live there and go to school in oz.

they were talking about making anyone representing the schoolboys sign a form saying they would only be eligible for the Kangaroos so yes I guess it is.
THE NRL has moved to strengthen international eligibility rules to prevent players defecting.
News Corp reports the NRL have taken the unprecedented step of asking this year’s Australian Schoolboys team to sign letters aligning them with the Kangaroos.
In the past several players NRL stars such as Benji Marshall, Kieran Foran, Kevin Proctor and most recently Jason Taumalolo have represented the Australian schoolboys before defecting to the Kiwis.
“We are working hard with the schools to ensure the players who get an opportunity in Australian schools are Australians for future representative honours,” said the NRL’s head of integration and game development Andrew Hill.
“Once selected, the player receives a letter asking them to confirm their intention to play for NSW or Queensland and Australia.
“If a player says ‘no I don’t wish to’, the Australian Schoolboys selectors wouldn’t pick him for the side.

Defecting to the Kiwis?????
They are kiwis, though Fozza's mum’s aussie. They came over here at some point. Who else are they going to play schoolboys for if they are schoolboys in Australia?
Anyway, I digress. "

Whoever the ref is he needs to crackdown on the Aussies. They appear to be masters at fannying about at the PTB and getting away with it. Just like their senior side

Several weeks ago when an Aussie ref was appointed to officiate in the 4N fixture between Australia and England, there was outrage over it on this forum.
That outrage then manifested itself into a moral crusade against cheating Aussies alongside future demands for neutral referees.
The aforementioned outrage and moral crusade subsided somewhat when an English ref was appointed to officiate in the 4N fixture a week later between New Zealand and England.
Given that in 2010 England defeated the Australian Schoolboys on the back of extremely favourable penalty counts of 21-7 and 7-2 respectively, it seemed an appropriate time to post a follow up to previous outrages and concerns aired with a renewed campaign for neutral referees.
Obviously not an outrage or an issue whenever English referees are appointed.
England by plenty tomorrow!
Penalties in their favour, that is.

You just don't let up WE,do you?
I had the pleasure of watching the Schoolboys last week, did you? I would say that on the whole the ref was not at all that bad, but did seem to let the Aussies get away with some extra niggle, especially in the second half. There was a full bloodied contest on view and no back biting such as your puerile remarks are necessary in relation to the game, I would imagine, although I do not know for sure that the penalty count went in Australia's favour.
If you care to look back you will see that I was of the opinion that the ref was justified in disallowing Hall's try, simply because I would in his position have done so as well.
Where I thought he got it wrong was in going to the VR and not sticking with his original decision to give a drop out from under the sticks.
I did later concede after some photographic evidence that the try could have been given, but myself I would not have done so. |
