That’s a test match champ ;)… not the same thing … a better example would be the Waratahs playing a trial game on the central coast in January but cute you hold trials games in such reverence

Nah a lot of GPS schools treat trials .. as exactly that …. trials … I know guys who spent nearly rhe entire trial period in the 1stxv only to end up in the 3rds … very harsh but not usual

you also have to take into consideration the mentality of the two sides going into that game .. one team was going into the game treating it clearly as a Trial … The other, like it was the rugby World Cup final … You can see evidence of this attitude clearly with some recent posts in this thread.

You don’t think Newington, Scot’s or Waverley don’t have boys with similar backgrounds too? ..cause they definitely do !! they also have catchment areas that compete with trinity (I see the Scot’s bus go through Rockdale and san Souci on my way home from work ) … The difference is theses...

Great news, will only strengthen the tradition between the schools and showcase what has been a very competitive year.. Imagine a team like shore who started off slowly and then coming home with a wetsail - the possibilities!

I totally disagree. Rugby is global game, played through Europe and Asia.. It’s not the nationality of the boys that’s the problem it’s the lack of rugby culture at the school.. Don’t tell me Lebanese and Greek kids wouldn’t play rugby, when the NRL team that surrounds the Trinity campus (aka...

Yet youre on a gps forum .. hmmm

Terrible stuff … hope all are ok

By looks of it, they were mainly joeys supporters who were injured :(

The irony of Riverview moving their home game to leichhardt oval, only to discover it was their OWN old Boys who were the gooses today…. Maybe next time they’ll have to find a stadium even further away … maybe try the MCG

Honestly this whole “old boy” problem is just one massive overblown scapegoat issue … you’d never see joeys give up their home ground for such nonsense

far more dedication and money has gone into it than the other fields

Come off it lol, we both know it costs farrrrrr more than “few dollars” to keep that joeys field in that world class condition all year round ..spending that kind of money on a school oval Is not a priority for some of the other schools

Yes agreed, The reason for many attending a sports high school in first place is you have sporting potential- agreed it’s pretty much the same going to say joeys or kings just like you go the sbh or grammar with academic potential.. Now contrary to what most people think… these school...

Mate you can say the exact same thing about rugby union at private schools … let’s be honest most kids who play at gps /cas schools stated at local clubs first. That’s why there is huuuge drop off at club rugby @ around the u/13s . if you come from a “rugby family” and live in a “rugby Area”...

Lol relax .. it’s a selective school, like grammar like James ruse … none of these school are great sporting schools, to say it was a conspiracy to bring down the gps is laughable .. So is saying state sports schools don’t produce solid athletes, for example endeavour sports high has...

The joeys defence might have had something to do with that

Willliam Wallace was a catholic ;)

Can you explain why you care? …geez

Shore would be closer, but I imagine more religious focused
