How gracious you are Ziggy. You've made your point. Move on.

Here come the imaginary conspiracy theories...

Especially with colts, culture will change year to year. The 2020 and 2019 graduated class of Barker had a really strong rugby culture. Two very strong social teams in year 12 who both graduated, and then many went on to play Barker Old Boys (BOBS). This meant in 2021 every week there were too...

Poynton was the best option given that Saunders had played the majority of season in the centres. Dene was also probably the best option. Best game managing 10 in the CAS. Relax. It's not politics. Stupid to suggest a 16 year old should never be picked.

Best player at each position should be picked regardless of age. Poynton just ended up being the wrong selection last year. Saunders was picked at 13 and he probably should have been picked at 15. But he had already played a lot of 13 during that season. Towns was the next best fullback, and he...

Seems some aren't getting the warnings... you know what they say, when you're skating on thin ice, you might as well dance.

I think Meagher is out for the year is he not? Otherwise definitely would be my pick. Ryan from Knox deserves the 7 spot IMO so far, unless you move Mackemzie to 8, and play Aboud and Ryan at 6 and 7. Deane probably deserves the 10 jersey so far IMO, I think he is the best game managing 10 in...

I will say the last few years there were some very obvious choices from Barker being picked for captain. Like last year for example Hooper was the obvious choice. Pollard was also captain in 2019 I believe and that was once again the obvious choice for example.

Surprised Deane's name is on the 16's list. Thought he could have been the potential CAS Opens 10.

Thought Kings won 2019. Must have been 2018 my bad.

That's a phenomenal highlight reel.

Joeys 2019? Definitely not. Wasn't even the best team that year. There are MUCH stronger Joeys teams. Kings 2020 was ridiculously strong. I believe every single back +1 in that team now has at least a professional development contract. Wilson (Tahs), Poolman (Force), Little (Force), Penisini...

I quite clearly said Barker would be tier 2. Multiple times.

I will let it go after this. XY chromosomes. Look them up.

A school with 3x as many boys? You'd hope so.

Barker would absolutely be in tier 2. As would Newington. Me and Snort have been quite clear that it would be based off of an analysis of the holistic rugby program. Not just the 1sts.

What point have I missed... seems like I'm just advocating for a better more even rugby program. Utter shit stirring. You'd hope so... They have three times the boys.

I agree Barker would be a tier 2 program in a GPS/CAS/ISA pool. But an extremely strong 1st XV program (has only lost to Joeys once in the last 8 years I believe?) You look like an idiot putting words in my mouth.

Let's not compare Joeys rowing to Shore's rugby.... who struggled in alsmot every age group for years and couldn't get a 1sts XV win for like 7 years.... It's disingenuous.

Considering me and Snort have probably been the two guys pushing this tier system most (along with others)... I promise you that wasn't what we were proposing. Shore has not turned it around. They are still a tier 2 level rugby program. Why are we pretending they've built a dynasty. No it...
