Fair enough.

Barker had 11 players still in their 1st XV picked in a NSW team (Onitit Finau, Bryn Edwards, Sam Saihyoun, Adam Van Wyk, Will Kennedy, Thomas Livingstone, Lachlan Hooper, Doug Phillipson, Eli Sagala, Jakob Biet, and another boy who tore his ACL before the start of the season), plus one picked...

Not sure. Heard it straight from staff from the school.

Barker have beaten Joeys 5 out of the last 6 years... they are currently a better 1st XV program.

Your comp is broken too. You literally have 3 schools who don't compete and Shore who won their first game in 6 years this year...

It was not exact my friend... my point still stands.

The QLD GPS don't have 3 schools in their competition that can't even compete in the 1st competition... The QLD GPS also don't have schools in the lower competitions beating them. Granted it is only 3 schools. I also believe the QLD competition play matches outside of their association as it...

Yes. Joey's does a great job in instilling school pride in their boys, and in establishing great rugby culture... but that's not what I want paying ridiculous fees for a private school. I want substance. Academics. The Arts. Character Development. Etc. So no. Barker is not going to imitate...

A tier-based 1st XV competition.

How does that help Barker Knox and Waverley? They still smash all of the ISA schools (with the exception of Oakhill who is competitive sometimes and Augustines sometimes). However, everyone on the CAS forum is very happy to combine with the ISA in a tier system format in which the GPS, CAS and...

Yes. There is a Waratahs academy (Gen Blue), and various other pathways too. NSW Schools, SJRU etc. Barker have 13 U18 NSW representative players (some injured for the Nudgee game), and 1 u16's representative player. In total they have 16 players in their 1st XV who have been selected to play...

Yes. Supposedly signed by Roosters. Now I guess both him and Sua'ali'i have both been stolen by that club to sit behind Tedesco, and then eventually have to battle it out against each other for fullback with Joey Manu when he eventually retires, which doesn't seem soon.

September 10. Next Saturday.

Must have mixed up the Pats and MCA score apologies. No harm meant.

Barker played Marist Ashgrove in 2019. It was a big scoreline by Barker (60+) but both teams were in pre-season and both were only using squads. Not cemented 1st XV teams. Pleasure watching Floyd Aubrey play footy. The way he moves is ridiculous.

Would be silly rolling out 2nds and 3rd players against the premier 1st XV program in Australia at the moment. This comment epitomises arrogance.

It is perfectly valid to be frustrated at the GPS committee for ignoring what is best for the rugby community as a whole, purely because of "tradition." Are we not rugby fans? Also did I not make clear that Joeys didn't hide or pull out of the contest? They were not invited. I wasn't the person...

Barker is ridiculously talented, there wouldn't be a more talented team in Australia, but a home field advantage, not to mention the fact that the Nudgee game is 5 weeks after Barker's season has ended, and Nudgee is in the middle of the season and hence at prime match fitness will give Nudgee...

Let this be a lesson to all parents. Monitor what your children do online.

Commenting here, although it doesn't concern the GPS, I know everyone is missing rugby season and as such more than a few will be interested. Barker VS Nudgee To be played at Nudgee College on 10 September and streamed on Stan Sports. Time is TBC.
