SG Ball and all the other junior league rep competitions were cancelled back in March, so that isn't the answer.

I had heard several weeks ago, from a Kings insider that He won’t play. The same person said that he now might play against Scots. So it will be interesting to see if he is on the field this afternoon. That said, if I was coaching the Kings 1st XV then I would politely explain to him that he is either in the team or not so he needs to make a decision. If I was the headmaster I would explain that if he is attending the school then the school teams have primacy over all other teams.
You will find most headmasters feel the same way. The issue is that this fella turned up with huge wraps on him with the TKS magisterium thinking he would fall into line like all good Kings men. Then came the buckets of money. Previous to this, clubs would park players in GPS schools for a couple of years (pay they fees, boy would play for the school only) and in return the player would sign an agreement that he would play for the club for at least two years after year 12. Newington benefited from this system not long ago. The boys though did play for the school and the clubs never pressured them to play Sunday league.
Now we have a situation were a school allowed their player to play Sunday league. It seems Souths now want him to play exclusively with them and forgo school commitments. In future I am sure ALL GPS school heads will think twice before "investing" in talent that has the tinge of league.
Welcome to Joker Rugby for the second week of the GPS Rugby season. The sun is shining at the Park with a temperature of 19 degrees is expected later in the day. Joeys boys will be playing games against St Ignatius' (Riverview), Kings, Cranbrook, Oakhill, St Patrick's, Scots and St Pius. The majority of games are being played at Hunters Hill. Results will be posted throughout the day by Brumbies and myself.

Thanks Joker, well done to your young bloke if he was in this Joeys side.
He was the hard running forward who smashed a View laddie into next week (didn't see it, just a text)
