I think he's a shot duck for this season's rep team selection. They pick GPS teams to play CAS after the 1st comp game v Newington on June 5th - that's only 2 weeks from this Saturday. I'm guessing he won't be back until the 2nd comp game v Kings on 17th July.:(

No - he's out for a month, minimum. Hamstrings are a bitch.

big call Steph - haven't seen him play, but would suggest it's a tad early to be saying he's "well above anyone across the state and country". I guess we'll see if he progresses later in the season in the rep stuff. News from Joeys is that Max Jorgensen is out for several weeks with hammy issues.

Joeys fixtures for tomorrow, for those interested

the 13's are also playing St Pats - full list of games here:

in a similar vein, Joeys has a system whereby the opens from 4ths down are selected in their year groupings - ie, the even numbers (4ths, 6ths 8ths, 10ths and 12ths) are all year 11 boys and the odd numbers are all Year 12. This allows Year 12 boys to play together in gentlemen's teams and...

I wouldn't be putting too much store on the Joeys-Knox game as a pointer to either side's prospects. It was a scrappy patchy affair with lots of dropped ball and pushed passes - not unexpected for the first trial game of the season, and different combinations being tried. IMO the score was not...

Not quite right Joker - Maurie Whelan scored 17 tries (@3pts) in 1935, plus 31 goals (@2pts) plus 7 penalties (@3pts) = 134pts This record was equalled at Joeys by Nathan Sievert in 2005, who scored 9 tries (@5pts), 43 goals (@2pts) and 1 penalty (@3pts) = 134 points but obviously he had the...

Thought Joey F had a fairly ordinary game at 10, RS. Crabbed a bit and chewed up space for the centres. Catch-pass in the backs was also patchy, and again probably nerves, but the backs clearly outplayed their Knox opponents. The forwards, however ... Joey is only 16 and young for his year -...

don't think so H4L - Joeys No12 is Jonnie Chan from last year's 2nds, the younger brother of Nick Chan who was Joeys No12 a couple of years ago (and part of the Aussie Schoolboys who beat NZ)

for a bit of balance, remember Angus Bell, B&W? Father is Mark Bell, well-known Joeys old boy Wallaby, who wanted to send young Angus to Joeys but Angus mysteriously appeared at Newington. Wonder how that happened?

...word is that Joeys first trial game v Knox, scheduled for 24th April, will be played at Bankwest Stadium as the curtain-raiser to the Tahs v Rebels Super Rugby game...

At HH on Wed 23rd, I presume at the normal 3:15pm. Only the 1sts, 2nds and 3rd XVs playing, for all other teams it's a normal school day. Thursday is last day of term.

There was another thing that didn't get coverage from Cluch at Riverview. After fulltime there was a ceremony to introduce the new Alex Noble Shield, which from now on will be contested between Riverview and Joeys for every competition game between these two schools dating from this year. Alex...

and therein lies part of the problem, Goosie. No GPS school is likely to agree to a system where the 1st XV plays in one competition in some venue and other teams play in different competitions at different venues, perhaps several such. Joeys fields 45 teams on any given Saturday (and is...

Paddy Burns - Joeys No2 - for a lifting tackle in the maul (marginal call IMHO)

beat me to it Scrumcap!

not twins - Jake (2nd XV No10) is in Yr12 and Max (1st XV No13) in Yr10
