He's an incredible runner, big fast, breaking tackles and setting up supports etc. With all the video coaching these days you'd have to think he is playing exactly where he has been told to - where he does enormous damage to opponents. Can't be critical of him for that. And he hits like a...

Reckon his left hand is on the dead ball line before he grounds the ball.

Knox run of petrol at the end of the season, and not for the first time. Reckon they look over trained .....

Although win, lose or draw Waverley win the Henry Plume Shield, I still reckon with all their rep players back they beat Knox by 3 tries

So then "capsized by a big red iceberg" is a bit of a mixed metaphor. And since it was in fact stopped by Barker, it is not unstoppable, and therefore not a juggernaut. So i guess the Waves might not break on the juggernaut but roll to a famous victory.

Is juggernaut a nautical term?

Waverley at full strength will get enough ball to score more points than Knox are capable of. Two of the Knox tries against Barker came when Barker's best player (8) was in the bin

Must be big buses ..... 2000/15=133

Reckon the lineout will be a key factor in WvK. Against B the W lineout was totally dominated. K liked to kick out of their 1/4 quite a bit, the K10 was a good kicker, but B mostly got the ball back. If K (with Frost etc) can dominate the W lineout like B did, then K are in with a good chance...

Wondering how much the new format this year helped Barker - ie in division 2 and so did not have to play the top GPS schools. Waverley had some injuries so were depleted, and some of the Knox stars, although giving it everything, looked they had a lot of miles on the clock... So Barker have been...

Ok, how about this one - B v W at Barker in 2013. Barker heavy favourites with a stunningly fast back 3. W ahead as time expired but their 9 deliberately threw the ball out. Penalty to Barker, length of the field try, home crowd goes wild....

Strongly disagree. Barker executed a very simple gameplan. The poor Waverley lineout and failure to adjust tactics played into their hands and made for a tough committed game from both sets of forwards as they bashed each other all day. Over the years I've seen many, many more enjoyable games...

Outstanding goal line defence from Waverley. Reckon Barker had 75% of the ball. 1 missed conversion by Waverley and 1 missed penalty from Barker. Great game plan and very gutsy execution by Barker to frustrate a team that on paper looked a lot stronger (compare their results v St Joseph's)...

Knox by 25+ Barker by 12 Waverley by 35+

The GPS opened themselves up to a bunch of games against CAS schools this year. That seems pretty open and collaborative. Joeys especially have been sending teams all over Sydney to help everyone get a game....

"You are what your record says you are." Cranbrook lost 47-6. Prior week lost to Barker 62-5 (both teams not at full strength). That is simply where Cranbrook are at this year Knox will need to improve to beat Waverley.

Is that bait? Waverley by 30+

Agree nothing to gain for the GPS schools. Benefit on the CAS side is pretty much just to Knox who with large enrollments in recent years struggle to get games. Knox have also invested heavily in rugby with professional coach, summer training, physio, etc. In effect Knox have fractured the CAS...

checking MySchools web site which breaks down income sources, latest data is for 2015: Knox: 84% fees, 10% govt grants; 6% other private sources - some of which might be donations from Old Boys among a bunch of other things... St Josephs College 7% Other Private Sources & the rest: Kings 4%...

If u r talking about Barker i think you are wrong. The Head is quite rugby inclined, probably more than the prior. He has only been there a short time and the rugby ranks were in a cyclical decline. Also AFL and soccer were on the rise. So for Barker it looks more like a few weak rugby years...
