There were only 7 1st XV players playing against Scots.

This would end up being a superior comp to the GPS.

I highly doubt this is the case. Dean Hargreaves is a smart man. This would only be detrimental to the image of Barker rugby. Next year’s team won’t be half as good as this years team. I have no doubt that this years team would have taken it to the likes of Paarl Boys etc.

Definitely not the same school since the old headmaster retired. A lot of boys/parents not a fan of the new guy, which of course is detrimental to the culture of the school. However, in saying that, the culture around their athletics program is world class. Ben Gavin (head of athletics) is a...

No Lachlan Hooper in the NSW squad? No Oniti Finau? No Doug Phillipson? No Jorgensen? Odd. Does anyone know why?

Knox got hard done by. Not that it matters. Very very subjective list.

Kings athletics program is incredible. Love it.

Not sure.

Very few are returning for Barker: 1. Nick Hill (year 10, who came off the bench for a game or two) 2. 3. 4. Adam Van Wyk (year 12, returning) 5. 6. Matt Hanley (year 11, played all year at 6) 7. 8. Nathaniel Thomas (year 10, also came off the bench for a game or 2) 9. Kira Weaver (year 10...

No. Very few absences. The boys supposedly played sick. I believe Barker were actually missing more players than Joeys were ironically.

I mean Doug Phillipson, Will Kennedy and Eli Sagala were all NSW representatives before Katoa got there. Additionally so were Hamish McDonald and Jakob Biet (who missed the whole season). Charlie Poynton earned NSW honours in the 16’s through the schools tournament, and obviously as such didn’t...

I’ve heard otherwise. Heard he decided against Brumbies and wants to be a Tah, but I guess we will see. Only time will tell.

Superior across the park really despite the cobwebs. Barker looked less than up to scratch if I’m honest apart from a few standouts.

Barker had so many injuries this game that they actually were playing more 2ndXV players than 1stXV players… this means nothing.

Well we could be playing in a competition where the likes of Barker and Joeys go head to head every year. But I digress.

Issue is you would need to move the season further. The HSC is in like 8 weeks. An 8 team comp would extend that season by at least 4 weeks. I’m sure there are plenty of boys who wouldn’t want to risk an injury or concussion etc. so close to their exams.

I think Barker would have to play Churchie first to prove it

Should probably be a 40 point difference. Barker looking really really sloppy.

Barker look like they don’t care. Real shame.

Yep. Gen Blue boy. Also captain of the program. Finally secured one.
