They don't repeat year 10. The boys who were playing up an age group to play with their school year drop back down to U16s at year 11 unless they are going to play 1sts. So Knox U16s is usually a deeper age group as the younger year 11s fill out the year 10s.

hmmm, you should probably check your facts. Anyway, I think it is a good thing for the boys concerned, time to develop academically and physically can't be a bad thing.

How expected.

The blue card debacle was a terrible terrible moment. The fact the player was allowed to continue playing after being concussed so badly is beyond reprehensible with everything we now know about player safety and concussions. And to ignore the blue card from the referee and still continue to say things like,

“The Ned Slack-Smith blue card scenario was incredibly stupid grow up.”

Just shows how Willing they were to put their own kids at risk for success.

How do you know the level of his concussion was “so bad”? Were you the physio that observed him and for that matter passed him? It’s time to move on let’s focus on the season to come should be a close and ripping season

He wasn't concussed. Wasn't even a head knock. He was cleared by physio and a doctor... imagine caring so much about schoolboy footy that people in this forum create conspiracies in order to have a whinge... genuinely embarrassing. If this is you you should have a good hard long look at yourself.

The ref gave him a blue card and he had several stage one signs of concussion. Only Barker would do anything except follow the expected protocols.

And obviously they did the wrong thing because Australian Rugby came in and said he wasn’t allowed to play for the CAS game. So, maybe Barker are more important than Aus Rugby, but they still weren’t allowed to let him play and failed to follow appropriate protocols… as is consistently the case.

If a doctor and a physiological both clear him he is fine to play. This isn't soccer. If a player had to sit out every time they had a head knock no-one would play...

What protocols do barker consistently fail to follow? One time they get it wrong and you harp on about it for two years. Also we’re you at the game and saw him exhibit signs of a concussion? All signs pointed to him being winded in a tackle.

Age dispensation
Concussion protocols
Blue Cards
Coaching microphones

You will continue to defend these things no doubt.

The video has him showing signs of Ataxia, he is dazed and slow to get moving.

I’ve seen enough rugby in my 56 years to know when someone is concussed.

And the blue card was wrongly handed out. Hence the clearance from medical professionals. Hence why having a thing about it is weird. Move on.

Hence why rugby Australia came in and said that barker had not followed blue card protocols and disallowed him from playing in CAS.
