Ummmm... who

There's a bunch of guys coming through. Some already playing in the opens and some still playing under 15's or U16's Barker Izak Holmes Jayden Richards Billy Miller Jack Proctor Bryn Wooldridge Tommy Jackson Knox Tristan Madriazza Trinity Urijah Brown Waverley Phillip Falaniko Kaiasi...

Surely you jest, he was playing first XV at Kings last year when he was in year 10. This kid is a genuine superstar and more importantly, a down-to-earth young lad.

Makoto played mostly in the B's last Saturday against New as did another 'new to Kings' player Lachlan Kable. Both had a 10 minute run in the A's but will find themselves permanently in the A's very soon, if not this weekend. With the return of Levi, Thomas and Ruari Basten, the Kings U16 side...

genuine question. In what way is it below par?

The School Boy banter is back!!

A different perspective... I believe Barker has taken a large squad over to Japan. As a parent, if I'm spending money on sending my son a Rugby trip to Japan, I sure as sh!t expect that he'll get a reasonable amount of game time.

Haha, I was thinking something similar. Oakhill by 20+ St Pius v Oakhill - Oakhill 20+ St Gregs vs Stannies - Stannies 2+ (plagued by red cards :() Kinross vs St Pats - Kinross 15+ St Augustines vs Scots - Augustines 20+ (I thought this was a BYE round for Augies with some games against CCGS...

I believe they've had 5 or 6 opens teams most years, but yes, player numbers are down over all of the age groups. I'm sure the demographics of The Hills and surrounding areas are changing, but I think you'll find there are other reasons why numbers are down at Oakhill.

Another player from the 2024 State Championship Winning Two Blues team. Good to see he is doing doing well at Knox... and I believe has moved to Lindfield/Gordon this year.

Opps, I forgot I was in the U16 thread :rolleyes:

Who is the Knox #10 and is he in year 11 or year 12?

It appears that a significant number of U16 players from both Joeys and View may not be playing in club rugby this year. Mosman may not be fielding a U16 team, and if so, increasingly unlikely that Norths will be represented at the State Championships, which would be a travesty given the strong...

I believe they have played 3. Against Canberra, Joeys and Oakhill

Yes, which would have made for a closer game but who knows if they would have been able to beat a dominate Barker side which should take out the CAS title this year.
