you sure about this PAS? according to other reports, this game was cancelled and Joeys played an internal 7s game ...

Joeys v Scots is at HH, Joker

yep, the Joeys 13 looked strong and sharp, and I was looking forward to seeing him up against the Knox 13 Archie Saunders, who is one of only two schoolboys in the Australian Junior Wallabies (U20) for 2022 (the other being Max Jorgensen). But in the first play of the game Jorgensen made a run...

Bit of sportsmanship in the Joeys 3rds v Knox 2nds game. Very even tussle played in good spirit, with Knox leading 14-12 when Joeys were awarded a penalty 45m out and in front with time up on the clock. Joeys bizarrely opted for the kick at goal (not the done thing in trials). Kick was close...

Charlie Gamble is not a Joeys Old Boy - he's a kiwi (from Canterbury, I think). Joeys Old Boys in the 2022 Tahs include Alex Newsome, Jimmy Ramm, Tom Horton, Paddy Ryan, Ned Hanigan, Hugh Bokenham, Triston Reilly (any more I've forgotten?)

Joeys hasn't played Waverley since 2019 (May 19th to be exact - 3 years ago), so when was this supposed to have happened? Sounds like your typical unfounded rumour ...

People forget that the procedure of the referee controlling the scrum process, screeching "crouch, bind, set", and penalising early shoves, wheeling, collapsing etc is a relatively recent phenomenon. Back in the day the ref would call for a scrum, indicate the spot and back off - the packs...

Joey Fowler - Joeys 10 from last year - coming back from a shoulder reconstruction. Should be back this week vs Barker, if not then definitely for the Knox game week after.

settle down View boy - Joeys gave View a 30 point start in that game before they decided to play some footy and pulled it back to 38-38. View scored at the bell, in the corner, making it 6 tries each for the narrow win based solely on goal difference. Well done to them. But Joeys were...

good to see the View Yr12 lad's contribution, but perhaps a few facts are in order. There was only one comp game in 2021, and the table after this single round was: Rank Team Points For Against 1 Joeys 2 38 13 2 View 2 36 12 3 Scots 2 21 15 4 Kings 0 15 21 5...

Excellent post Joker! Bit concerned some of it might find its way cut & pasted into opposition training manuals, however. :rolleyes: Last year's front row were the best I've seen in many a long year, led by the No2 and captain, but also rated was the relatively small tighthead who was a quiet...

Joker - good point but I beg to differ on when the innovation in approach to Joeys rugby came into play. Br Henry was the great innovator and firm believer in speed and skill being key in the forwards. He is famous for his "brave" (as in Yes Minister "brave") and sometimes bizarre selections...

Ace - "Interesting historical note: Marist No11 Lachlan Roff is the son of Joe Roff (Wallaby winger and Marist Old Boy), and also the grandson of Glenn Roff (Joeys Old Boy)." Joker - "Joe Roff went to Marist Canberra I believe. My fav Wallaby winger" ? anyway, can't argue with Joe Roff being...

Jack O'Mara is a Canberra boy who was in Yr12 at Joeys last year, and played in the 2nd XV. He's obviously repeating at Marist Pearce (which is where he lives), and the Joeys boys were giving him a bit of a (good-natured) pizzle.

Joeys lineup for the trial v Marist Canberra on 2nd April (only trial to date). Note - this lineup is not necessarily the final selection, nor players in final positions, yet. Some rowers who were in Melbourne for the National Championships and last year's No10 are not featured. 5 of this...

agreed re Shore. Good to see Jyka's boys back playing some serious rugby again. Joeys didn't play Shore last year due to the covid cancellation, but did play Newington in the only comp round. Newington's 16As beat Joeys 21-12 and their 15As beat Joeys 12-10, both close games. If Shore won...

for those interested - here's a link to the 3 Marist games played on Saturday https://youtu.be/83j64rWFCUI

no they didn't - it was 12-12.

The finish line was defined by 2 spherical orange buoys, between which the 8 lanes are theoretically evenly spaced. It is the responsibility of the umpire in the official boat to ensure each crew stays in their respective lane. There was a strong crosswind that made it difficult for crews to...

the biggest problem with the Waratah Shield was the lack of interest from the bigger private schools who focussed on their GPS, CAS, ISA etc comps. In its nearly 60 year history, only 18 schools have won it and half of them only one each. It came to be dominated by St Eddies in Canberra in...
