Yes. He's FANTASTIC. Incredible. I love him. One of our only bright spots... But Barker had that bloke in the doldrums. He barely broke a tackle. Joeys weren't beating Barker.

Joker. Tradition isn't everything. It can change. Just cause it used to be the right way to do things, doesn't mean it will always be the right way. I'm sure I don't need to make some analogy or argument for you and I to agree there. The issue is... GPS Schools know longer have "similar...

Can't agree more.

The problem with it is sometimes whilst a lower tiers schools 1st team may get a good matchup against a schools 2's team, it may screw around another school. For example, I remember in 2019, Shore 1's played Barker 1's, Aloys played Shores 2's, and Barker 2's got stuck playing against Shore 3's...

My original, rationale for Joeys having a really good season was based on their depth, considering such a long 10 game competitive season. Perhaps I was wrong? Not that this is a definitive opinion.

Think Newington have been overlooked personally. Very strong 16a's last year.

Any Waves fans know how that game went?

Knox beat Joeys 33-34. Seems like not everyone can handle the "sandbox."

This is especially funny when you remember there are now 5 boys I believe from that years Waverley team (Levi Milford, Sea Aholei, Fritz Janke-Tavana, Miles whatever his last name is and Ron Volkman) are all now playing professional footy or on the cusp of doing so... The Aloys boys are probably...

I think what we really need is even more discussion about it. We haven't had enough yet!

I believe they only had 4 in 2020. Chaplain's XV was 4ths that year, instead of being 5ths or 6th as it is usually. Could be wrong. Still, coming from a GPS school to Barker, what I can tell you is that rugby culture is almost non-existent. However, this is the case with all sport at Barker. It...

Any idea of how strong Scots College is Rod?

This year yes. Other years no.

Any school who struggles to field 4 opens teams has struggling rugby culture... Coming from someone who attended a GPS school it really isn't comparable.

Darling has been solid at Gordon too.

My initial reaction of this years Joeys team is that there is really not many stars. Of the 4 named, there is one boy who I am doubtful would make the GPS side. There will definitely be some surprise break out players from Joeys I imagine who break onto the scene and demand selection. I also...

Believe it or not... Barker don't abduct these kids from these schools against their will... If the boys and parents didn't think Barker was a better school... then they wouldn't send them to Barker... Stupid argument. Schools don't create talent. They receive it. And they then nurture the...

No one is seriously suggesting that girls at a school will attract more rugby talent... it's clearly people taking the piss... If you're not a first quality player you don't deserve to play 1stXV. And when you have 150 boys in a year group and are trying to compete with schools with 200 more...

On the bright side, I'm not quite sure RiverVEIW will be able to sue you
