Did High fall off when they became selective?They are in battle with James Ruse High now for academic superiority.

Grammar enduring great success during the Spanish Flu. Perhaps a resurgence during Corona virus?

It's disappointing that NSW DET havent been able to balance academics in sport. I know in Victoria, Melbourne High School, a state school, similar to SBHS in age and tradition has struck a very successful balance between sport and academia, albeit in AFL rather than rugby.Dr Kim told me there was a directive from the NSW DET (about 1996) that High should stop enrolling smart footballers but target super smart students.
While we're on the topic Joker,
do you have any stats about QLD GPS Aus schoolboys in comparison?
In the meantime I've been BJ, stay awesome.
Since the induction of the Queensland GPS rugby competition St Joseph’s Nudgee have dominated with 37 premierships. Ipswich won in my final year (1989), boy they were tough.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Brisbane State High (a public school) a relatively strong contender in the QLD GPS competition?
Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front? F..k off! We're the People's Front of Judea - MP (Moana Pasifika), Life of Brian.
And while I'm here mate, must suck to know Grammar has been more successful than Scots.
As far I'm concerned the entire queensland GPS comp is competitive, with no weak teams (although BBC has never won a premiership.)Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Brisbane State High (a public school) a relatively strong contender in the QLD GPS competition?
Yes, Joeys have struggled Wristy.
Just can't find Scots on this table
Still travelling back to the last millennium I see Joker..
Hopefully we can get a resolution and get the season back on track. A totally thoughtless initiative from NSW Health.I was talking to a Kings boarding housemaster today, no one really knows what is going on. However, they are all pretty confident something workable will come out of Monday’s meeting. My gut feeling from the chat with him is that 1sts 2nds 3rds will obviously be the priority and that lower age groups will be subject to the boys being able to get the school grounds, play footy and leave again I.e not playing at random fields all over Sydney. Kings are clearly in the best position to host, followed by Joeys, View and Shore. The rest may have to hope those schools will avail their grounds for ‘away’ fixtures.
Anyone thought about the correlation between shore having an unreal rowing program and a sub-par rugby program. Anyone else under the belief that rowing can inhibit coordination?
From my understanding the rowers are just totally overtrained. I heard that every single person in one of their 8s this year had a stress fracture in their back and yet they still had to compete at HOTR.Anyone thought about the correlation between shore having an unreal rowing program and a sub-par rugby program. Anyone else under the belief that rowing can inhibit coordination?
Genuinely silly theory.Anyone thought about the correlation between shore having an unreal rowing program and a sub-par rugby program. Anyone else under the belief that rowing can inhibit coordination?
