That's correct. In my year we've gone from 140 in year 7 to 205 in year 11, most of those new boys came in year 9 & 10, same thing has happened in year 12. In my year, 4 of those 60 played games in the 16As, while 6 from year 12 will probably be in 1s this year. 9/10 of those boys I know are not...

I think it's safe to assume that the first school for the majority of rugby fans that comes to mind when they hear 'words schoolboy legend' is Joeys. Most parents who haven't had much to do with the GPS over the last 5 years would probably also assume Joeys would be the best chance for their...

Must be on scholarships then, that would be the only possible answer for two good rugby players to arrive late at Joeys.

A young looking side there. Strong centres but the foward pack isn't great IMO. Jack Mcgregor should expect some hostile treatment, especially after what View did to Deegan a few years back and how effective that was. Considering Mcgregor is smaller then Deegan was, I expect hell be having...

Joeys 1st and 2nds had good wins over Marist Ashgrove yesterday, missing around 10 1st and 2nds players to Athletics. Riverviews 1s had a big win over Eddies, 46-5. Any other results ?

rowing ?

I can name atleast 3 players from Newingtons championship waterpolo team who are on scholarships. I can also name atleast another 2 from rival schools who were offered one.

Heard that too. Stand outs for View apparently Ben Hunt, Lincon Whitely, Bill Freeman and Jack Mcgregor

ESTABLISHED GREAT FOOTBALLER - Matt Sandell - Australian schoolboys player from 2012, he will most likely captin the Joeys side for 2013. Talk is he could move from 3 to 2 for Joeys, either way I think well see him in the schoolboys side again, maybe as captain. Could also become the most capped...

REVISED RIVERVIEW 1ST XV 1. Jack Bowditch (Year 11)/ Evan Prichard (Year 11) 2. Hosea Fotokuva (Year 11) 3. Nathan Kelly (Year 12) 4. Beau Peterson (Year 11) 5. Nick Foster (Year 11) 6. Dan Kilpatrick (Year 11)/Lincon Whitely (Year 12) 7. Conor Menzies (Year 11) 8. Ben Hunt (Year 12) 9. Mike...

Forgot about Mete, im backing him to make GPS 1s

I think a majority of the good players in that age group were underage. Im sure there are a few other year 12s which will take out some of the spare spots but i dont know who

Talking to a few boys it seems that the team will be very young and developing for 2014 as that year group hasnt lost together since year 5. I can put a few names out there: 1. Jack Bowditch (Year 11) 2. Hosea Fotokuva (Year 11) 3. ? 4. Beau Peterson (Year 11) 5. Nick Foster (Year 11) 6. Dan...

I heard it was Newington vs Kings before the Tahs vs Lions game. Newington are down to host Kings in round 2 on June 15th which is the same day as the Tahs game so thats probably right.

Also forgot to mention that all 3 boys were part of the aboriginal program

These boys all started in year 7 by the way. I know of something similar at Riverview, a long time coach realised a boy had great potential but was probably going to end up in the wrong crowd and waste his talent. The coach could afford too fund the boys schooling and as an old boy choose to...

There's only one person at Joeys who has provided rugby players with scholarships and im sure many of you know who he is, and even he has only handed out 3 and all 3 boys deserved one. If you're willing to fund a boys education because you believe the school is what he needs both academically...

10 out of the 15 i think. I know Carolan came late but had two brothers at the school, Sandell had a brother. Im pretty sure Robertson, O'Donohue and Wilde all came from Joeys familys as well. Robbo and Wilde were in 15Bs when they came anyway.

Giving a kid a scholarship from year 7 is a whole different story to boys coming on scholarships in years 10 and 11. At least youre actually developing your talent for 6 years and giving them the same opportunities as the majority of their cohort.
