Joker, my tipping is usually like George Pell's love life. But in the words of the Great Joey's 1XV 1998 Capt Michael Lipman "Is it in? I think I'm in?" So count me in

Skill wise no doubt, but size, fitness, power and endurance the 2014 Scots side or 2020 Kings side would tear them a new one.

It is interesting that since the HOTR has been at SIRC, you need a 5:55 to win or place second. With advancements in boats, training and nutrition the times have basically stayed the same. But put a mid to late 90s 1st XV up against a 1st XV these days and I doubt the 90s would get with in 50...

Awh god bless you. What's next world peace?

Summed up well Mr Cerise. A gun 16As is great but it doesn't account for the boys in yr11 already in the opens and with a season of the top level under their belt. Joker will like this, the great Mark Kenna would always say, a good 1stXV with all 18yr Olds will beat a good 1st Xv with all 17yrs...

Ah Dusky my good man, I am not talking about the last 3 years of competition, I am talking the last 3 years of chatter on the AAGPS channel. My data base goes from about 1992 onward and having played and coached the 16As it hold little importance to a GPS chocy chip

Yawn, please refer to my thoughts on the last 3 years of this feed as to how unimportant winning the 16As is for making a successful 1XV the following year

Geeeze Joker you dropped the ball on this one.....all puns intended. You also forgot young Henari Veratua 2001..........

I would not count 2021 as a season. Due to Covid so you can't say Joeys didn't lose a game lol. Also let's remember last time it was a home and away set up Scots were quite the force.....just saying

I will say this again. A strong or undefeated 16As means nothing for the 1st XV. A lot changes in those two years. Ever year there is a kid in the B's who grows or gets a yard faster. There is always the Marist kids from Newcastle (ah hum Joker, I am thinking Ben Kennedy here) so just like the...

Because Scots puts the experience of the Gaz over a season of Rugby.

Agree with Joker about yesterday. If Scots had of played like that against New it would of been a very different scoreline. Taking nothing away from New. At the end of the day whilst the score was not what I would of liked, seeing the crowd, the atmosphere and catching up with old mates (and...

Morning All, ahhh yes the best day of the year on the school boy rugby calendar. The Catholics will pretend that when the Marist play the Jesuits that it is the jewel in the GPS crown but we all know it is today, when the scrappy underfunded Press-buttons take on the boys in pink funded by the...

Let's not forget Tony Daly......joker please fill in the blanks

Also do we forget Pete Playford Joeys 98.......the year before was under 90kgs....did his ACL.... Operation, ate allllllll his veggies and came back over 105kgs on the wing......

Don't forget Scots 93 & 2014

Doug's father was Capt of Athletics if I recall. Fraser was in year 11 in 93.

Boys from yr 7 in that team, Mcausland I & F, Boman T, Lee A, Dybal C, Bull T, Bursil D, Allan S. That's off the top of my head. Will never forget that day

Blame Peter Koen

Good summary Joker but you forget Peter Koen being brought in 2001....I still stay Henry Veratau scored down the right hand side at the Joeys score board end (typical Joey's touch judge ) But in terms of non teacher coaches this isn't just a Scots thing.....looking at king's and shore ‍♂️
