I have been informed by a friend who watched the Wallabies train yesterday, that Smith was training in what appeared to be the starting side with Hooper on the bench. Mowen did not take part in the session and Rob Simmons took his spot in the lineout. It appears the starting forward pack will...

gpsoldboy, I would like to begin by saying that I have no connection to The Kings School whatsoever, and are well aware of the recruitment drive they have had in recent years. Therefore, I am unable to answer the last of your two questions. I was simply highlighting that its hard to fathom that...

The Kings U16A's of 2011 were a very good team, in an even competition. The year before that Joeys had taken the crown in the 15A's and Scots in 2009 in the 14A's. Whilst King's have lost a number of key players such as H. Jones and S. Carter, the reason for their recent results can be put down...

I totally agree with this choice Jarse. Having seen him play over the last few years, he is one of the best players in this age group. It seems as if his biggest competitors will be: the GPS 1 number 7, Dunbar (S), who is quite a different player, providing much more of a link role and a...

After looking at both the CAS and GPS teams for the forthcoming trial, I can't help but predict a fairly one-sided game in the firsts. Yes, the CAS team will have chemistry (especially in the backline) and some notable individuals, but the sheer size and class of the GPS team is something to be...

I'm quite certain that this 'depth' you talk of is still alive and kicking. From last rounds fixtures against the Shore School, another nursery with fine depth across all age groups, Joeys recorded only 2 losses out of a possible 40+ games. Quite remarkable really. Although the real hard nosed...

Hansen and Burgess have been training with the squad as cover for injuries

With the recent addition of MMM, its hard to keep a man with such physicality out of the side. However, I can envisage Deans picking Dennis, who in my opinion doesn't warrant selection. For mine Palu is past his best and I would much rather see Mowen in there, adding a valuable option come line...

I think one player that has gone under the radar as far as discussion on this forum is Jum Woodhill (E) (I think thats his name). Last year playing in the Shore 1st XV in year 10, he did a solid job playing against classy counterparts. The amount of bias shown toward a number of players is quite...

Ned Hanigan does not qualify as playing 1st XV in 2012, as he only played 1 competition game due to an injury to a 1sts player.

What are your thoughts on a unconventional backrow, probably not at test level but rather 3rd tier and below?For example, instead of a tall and abrasive number 6. who's primary role is in attack, what about playing a second number 7. My view has always been that if this were the case, you...

just to build on my reply, if you were going to play Pat Curtin at 12, not only is joeys lacking a quality general play kicker at 10 but also at 12. One of the biggest weaknesses of the SJC teams of the past few years has been their inability to kick in general play, which is why i would...

its going to be a long season for the joe boys if thats the eventual team. To say that Sam Pay will play 7 is laughable, I would rate Max Knight as a much better prospect. Pat Curtin will not play 12, I would much prefer see someone who can actually play in the centres. Whilst 12 is not as...

Just a few quick things with respect to the HSC results. I may be wrong, but I am adamant that Jack Watts (#8) from Joeys did not have any plans to attend university. Perhaps, there is another J Watts floating around NSW. Secondly with regard to the cut-offs, for almost every course in NSW...

possible team lists? View, Newington, Joeys, Shore?

Would anyone be able to provide a match report for the Joeys vs Grammar game? Standout players? etc
