I concur with the Honey Badger and I also believe Rugby Australia is stuck between a Rock and a hard place in regards to what to do about this. It would be a shame to lose Israel Folau from rugby. So as a thought of a compromise and to avoid what potentially could be a very litigious situation...

My first look at the Barker Reds for 2019 was pretty interesting. The Reds have the makings of a very solid team. Maybe not at the same level as 2018 but there is some very positive signs for not only this year but also next. Missing from todays 1st XV was Billy Pollard, Dane Wilson and Luc...

I think Oakhill won the 16As 15/7 or something like that

Full time here at Hornsby.. 64 nil to Barker over Oakhill. Credit to Oakhill. They played with plenty of heart. Their 15 Dylan Madden is a real gem.

2nd Xv Barker defeated Oakhill 56 nil... Halftime in 1st. Barker lead 28 nil

Barker v St Edmunds was a good hit out for both teams apparently. 3 x 20min periods of play with both coaches rotating players. Dayne Wilson was the Barker capt for 2 periods and Hugo Weymouth for the final period. St Edmunds have a big Bopper in the front row who takes some stopping ball in...

Pretty sure there is no Nick Russell at Barker. On a different topic. Barker plays all the GPS schools in the trials this year except Scots. This will be a very torrid schedule for the lads in Red. One of the key reasons for Barkers success last year was that they were injury free and able...

I have been informed that Dane Wilson is most likely staying as a prop and unlikely to be in the backs. Barker is fortunate in having 3 strong 1st XV props this year to support Pollard. If "Oceans" comments regarding Nick Russell are close to being correct, then Barker has 3 quality players in...

Hi SDW. No I have not left the building. Just keeping a low profile over summer. FYI my son goes to Narrabeen Sports High not Barker. As for Barkers 2019 prospects, I think the crowd is correct in stating that their prospects of matching last years performance is slim. They will have a...

Great game by Aust Schoolboys to finish off the tour. I must admit the yellow cards and red card had me baffled. The red to Connolley was completely wrong in my opinion. There was no punch thrown so the touch judge just got it wrong and ref should have gone with his originally call. On the...

I reckon these lads will do well. This generation will renew the faith in the Green and Gold and Australian rugby

When is the drought going to hit your mouth.......Please. Take the Headmasters decision and process as done and move on.

Sideline... Drop it. The Headmasters make the criteria. The fact is they make the rules and agree to them before the season starts. The headmasters do not need YOUR permission to allow any student to compete and they do not have to publish any dispensations they have allowed. So move onto...

The headmasters of all 6 CAS schools decide preseason, for all sports. The dispensations have applied to several sports including cricket, basketball and rugby. There is no recourse from us punters in the bleachers. So lets all move on.

This is a very strong Trinity side. I rate Hawkes, Palesasa and Ieremia highly.

My first go at a possible Barker 1st XV for 2019. 1 Adrian Brown. (2nd XV,1st XV) 2 Billy Pollard. (1st XV, Aust Schools) 3 Ed Slinn. (2nd XV) 4 Jordan Cameron (1st XV, CAS 2nd XV) 5 Mark Green (16As) 6 Dan Stovold (16As) 7 Nick Russell (CHS 16s, NSW Gen Blue) 8 Hugo Weymouth (2nd XV, 1st XV)...

From what I have personally seen this year, observing most CAS schools 1st and 2nd XV's, and seeing a few 16A's games, I can say that just about all CAS schools have genuine reasons to be optimistic for the 2019 season. I will say this. Barkers 1st XV team next year will not be as strong as...

I will be Lane Cove to watch View and Joeys battle it out. I am tipping Joeys as their season is on the up, whereas View is just too hot n cold. As for the other game at Gowan Brae, me thinks Scots will win, but if Kings had their full 1st XV i would have backed them at home. Injury has...

Having given this some thought, and in light of form post the National trials, it would not surprise me at all if the selectors choose Lochie Dring (NSW2 and Barker 4) at 6for the schoolboys side instead of the 2nd row. He is a lineout winner for sure, but his defence and his running ball in...

I am looking for a volunteer to write a match report for the Riverview v Joeys game on Sat. Surely there is a committed two eyed GPS fan who can help out. Otherwise you will face the Ignominy of a Barker/CAS writer doing a report on this historic GPS game. So please any takers?
