A Waverley kings re match would be interesting. I wouldn't mind watching Kings get bitch slapped figuratively speaking. Might even pay for it.

Does not bode well for the rest of the CAS. this would have to be the best pre season for this school in a long time eh?

Didn't waves have their normal props out? How did they manage this FFS?

Heavy rain expected from about 9am Saturday.

From a posting on the ISA stream. Anyone hear of this? "Some interesting news came my way yesterday. Earlier this week there was a big meeting between the ISA, GPS, and the CAS. They met to discuss a proposal to have a combined schools rugby competition to replace the regular ISA, GPS, and CAS...

It is the funding of the extras which can be significant e.g the funding of the new Barker campus at Wyong for Aboriginal kiddies was funded last year largely by old boy and old boy related corporate sponsors to a very significant sum. Just saying Old Fellers do have sway

Yep. SO I guess the follow on is; make sure it is on the agenda.

Last point and I will be brief. A lot of parents have this Utopian and romantic notion that a private school is a democracy. A private school is about as democratic as Stalinist Russia, with all power flowing from the Top, with the Top supported by an infrastructure of staff and the village of...

And from my perspective and from that of other old Boys, it is directly the job of the head to promote Rugby Union over other codes.

Hope you are right mate. I was a bit concerned by the comments he made in the Bulletin about Rugby in general following last years 1sts game against Waverley (about the schools expectations being on the shoulders of the players and the stress that puts the boys under) and the abolition of one...

After reading the GPS and the CAS threads and having watched what is going on in most of the CAS schools for some years now query whether the diehard schools with the strongest rugby culture (Knox and Waverley) leave the CAS and join the GPS comp with the CAS being expanded by the strugglers -...

That makes a whole lot more sense. I did a double take when I saw the reference to the 2nds playing the 6ths on the Barker webpage. Must be a typo.

Confirmed barker playing Joeys 3rds and Barker 2ds playing Joeys 6

I will likely get howled down for saying this but maybe the real problem is that society has become too matriarchal. Mommy is too concerned with little Johnny coming home with his pretty little face sprig marked when (given a choice) little Johnny would love to show off his sprig marked face to...

Primarily the responsibility begins with the head of the school IMO. If the school is going to involve itself in a competition like the CAS then there are no half measures. You either compete properly and make Rugby compulsory for at least one year in the junior ranks or you get out of the...

Same. Awesome win, will stay in the legendsphere for years to come. The Waves boys will still be telling it when they are old men writing on this blog in 40 years.......

Yeah good question. The scores are about right. The Alos game I understand was stopped after 46 minutes. Barker is still scheduled to play Sydney High this weekend on the schedule I looked at this afternoon but presumably they will match High with the 4ths or the 5ths. Maybe even the 5ths, which...

Much a flutter on the GPS thread re the Waves win. GPS world and reality view has suddenly de stabilised. It seems W will be the team to beat across both competitions. Somebody has gotta make a movie out of it eh. So much about discipline issues....

Sorry to intrude on the discussion but I saw the Alos 16A's play and watched the firsts match. The 16A's were well behind at half time but fought back showing a lot of character and not giving an inch which bodes well for Alos next year in the opens. They are a great little team. As to the 1sts...

Not the spot to air personal jealousies because another player is a superior player.
