Great stuff from Kings,

Wasn't expecting such a dominant performance.

Is it just me or do a lot of the teams seem physically smaller compared to teams over last decade?

Great to see Hugh 'Hugh Bock' 'Bock' Bockenham starting at 6 for uni 1st grade today

Still remember when his uncle hit me for 6 and smashed a train window in north sydney many decades ago.

Shore scored a converted try on fulltime

The score displayed by Clutch is 26-19, but this seems different to the score which was on the Shore scoreboard when the camera panned across.

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.

The situation with Sua'ali'i is very simple - he is being paid under a contract with the NRL and is therefore professional and therefore disqualified from playing GPS Rugby which, by definition, is exclusively amateur. End of...

The overall issue I have is that schools have a very clearly communicated requirement of all boys to participate in extra curricular activity and that when they attend these schools there is very little time for other commitments.

How a student can fit this all in with obligations to an NRL club, extra curricular activity and achieve their best possible education outcome I am mystified by.

It is a double standard of student expectation.

And things don’t always play out according to the press clippings, so always do your best education wise.
