Il give you an example cas high get 6 teams to the schools cup final every year, fantastic achievement, but haven’t produced one player for years so what’s going wrong. It’s just so poor

Totally agree. The pool of Polynesian players in the NRL never mind PNG and players of aboriginal heritage is unreal.

Sickening is that really

I think junior rugby is a big part of it , both my lads have played aussie teams on aussie soil and learned that they dont play much on age groups they match more on size so the little guys dont get fed up of been hurt and then its not easy for big lads just yo run over the littlr guys. This is somthing ive seen many a time in junior rugby give the ball to the big guy.they also have schools what are fully focused on rugby like keebra park up in the gold coast area the amount NRL and SL they produced is what you could say is the complete opposite of cas high.

Not that it matters when my youngest went out here in 19 they actually won 3 out of 4 so there is somthing to look to

Its also the strength in depth theyve got the aussies could put a 2nd 3rd and probably 4th team out that would beat all other nations look at fullback dufty been released and he would walk into any sl team at fb and he would be about 10th chouce for aussie number 1 shirt
