I think you might find that given its a 2-game series everyone will get one start. Pretty sure the 11 on the bench start game 2 when the best XV will start. (Here's hoping there is an agreement with NZ who are doing the same!)

Ahh pathways ... Met a bloke from the 'Gong and got a good take on why pathways are broken, and why the GPS is not the problem. He said a few years back there was a massive Illawarra junior team that made the semi-finals at state juniors and won consecutive Country junior titles. Only a few...

Daily Telegraph article about Tuesday's NSW vs QLD U18 games is behind a paywall. Here it is for those interested: Waratahs v Reds U18s stars, scorers, sons of guns in rugby battle for Australian spots in NZ Test There was fancy footwork, masses of tries, big bits and explosive speed. Stars...

Great read Joker! What a terrific game we have on the cards today. Joeys on a huge roll and on an ambitious target to go 5-0 for the second round. With Jorgensen and Doyle adding the missing power ingredients they now look more than capable. As for View, that team doesn’t know how to stay out...

Well done Joeys, 40-17. Pat Young and Eamon Doyle were immense.

PREVIEW: Joeys vs Shore Joeys enter the round 7 home clash against Shore with a full strength team for the first time this season. Oscar Jorgensen returns from the serious ankle injury he suffered back in round 1, with the talented utility back expected to provide much needed ballast and...

No games for Joeys this weekend. They arrive back today from a 5-day training camp for the 1sts and 2nds in Queensland. Did sessions of opposed contact work with Bond Uni 1sts Colts, and then some unopposed work and lineouts against Bond Uni 1st grade. From all reports they will finally have...

Should be a simple two-route pathway for schools and/or U18. Having a combined GenBlue U18 squad has taken any prestige out of the NSW and Aust schools pathway. They are only U18 and can still have both opportunities with a simple tweak: 1. Schools - via NSW I/II to Aust Schools Championships...

I understand both are fit and available to attend the Joeys Rugby camp on July 10 and do full contact. All other injured players from term 2 like Matt Gough and Ben Whyte are also scheduled to play from round 7 on 22 July (barring further injury calamities between now and then!).

Mobile phone permanently pressed to their ear in one hand, chequebook in the other.

Hastily cobbled together now we are back online. Thanks Bob Peters for the team list as usual. And thanks INP for the 3rd XV previews - amazing! PREVIEW: 1st XV Joeys vs Scots Joeys enter the second round of matches, and last game of term 2, with the same forward pack that played Kings, but...

PREVIEW: Joeys vs Kings A winless Joeys face an undefeated Kings this Thursday at Hunters Hill. Further injuries have impacted Joeys this week, with No. 10 Ben Playford out indefinitely with a broken hand. This has resulted in a fifth consecutive change in the 10/12 combination. With additional...

PREVIEW: Riverview vs Joeys Leichardt Oval is the neutral venue for the highly anticipated ‘Battle of the Catholics’ when Riverview ‘host’ Joeys. This week Joeys have made some key changes to address the issues that beset them last week. In attack, the short passing game from their forwards...

Joeys vs Newington Preview After more time on the road than the Rolling Stones, the Joeys community will be relieved to finally have their teams run out at ‘The Park’ for the first time in 2023. After a challenging month of trials and the first two rounds of competition away, it somehow feels...

Another fascinating round. The draw is kind to us next week with View-Kings, Scots-Shore, Joeys-New. All probably balanced off nicely as to where they are all travelling this comp so far. Well done to Shore. Their defence was exceptional and their biggest change since last week. Both...

Pat Young off for Joeys. A lot of good cattle on the sideline now.

Joeys travel away for the fifth consecutive game to face Shore at the pie lovers favourite ground at Northbridge. Following the frustration of their 31-all draw at Scots, the visitors will come ready to continue the first half dominance they have provided in every game this year so far, but...

No conspiracy here. Joeys had every opportunity to better support the ball carrier on the last play, but didn’t happen. Well done Scots on a great comeback. Terrific first round to get the ball rolling this season! Kings clearly favourites but as a Joeys supporter the team were terrific...

Joeys vs Scots is certainly a game that has split the tipsters this week, and with good reason. A short ‘trial’ season has resulted in neither side able to send their best XV onto the paddock so far. Scots will back themselves to prevail if they get the one thing they couldn’t against Kings –...
