Yes, I agree. I remain dubious that all parents have welcomed the move to Sydney with open arms. It may be the case that any sort of the unrest on the issue might not have filtered its way up to Lawrie's level, or that parents are worried about speaking out in case its effects their kid's spot in the team. Same for the move to Hunter Sports High School. Reading between the lines I suspect there will be a real push from the Jets for all kids in the program to attend Hunter Sports High School in the very near future. Lawrie mentioned the kids outside the school training 3 times a week and those kids attending the school having 5 sessions a week (plus using the schools physios etc). It may not be explicitly said by the Jets, but a time will come soon where parents/kids realise they probably need to attend the Hunter Sports High to get the best chance of making it. Tough choices.
