And clocks.
I can confirm I was no where near the clock in 1981. It was always in Gods hands anyway.

lost only 8-7 to Joeys after the bell (there's that clock again
Joeys clocks are possessed with the spirit of Brother Henry.
And yes, Joeys 16A's have lost a few lads to the opens as well so they are not as strong as per last year.

Yes this years Yr10 (u16's) have been successful over the years and the current Yr11's have been solid without regular success so theoretically next years team might be better however their ceiling will be limited, as always, by next to zero intake of new talent relative to the other schools. The principal recently wrote to the parents saying talented sports intake is completely off the table so the existing policy wont be changing under the new leadership.
The quality of the S&C program has gone up dramatically the last 12 months and the coaching panel is outstanding this year however there is barely a kid in the program who wasn't there in year 7 and the squad really could do with a bit of additional size. Thats not to be disparaging on the current players who are working really hard and some of whom have made significant rep teams.
It was a good performance against Newington in the trial and they showed a lot more structure and heart than they did against View however I think having M. Fell back for New will improve their perforance a fair bit. Shore Opens were bolstered by the addition of a number of key 16A's players last week so I'd expect some more improvement as they integrate into the system. Fingers crossed.

Although the Shore 16As have lost to both Riverview and Newington so far this year. The Newington 16As this year have 10 boys playing up in opens, not sure what's happening at Riverview. They've gone from being the weakest GPS team in the age group to beating Shore (who have been strong all the way through) and lost only 8-7 to Joeys after the bell (there's that clock again
I expect Shore have a stack playing up as well,
Because the year above them was very weak and ended up refusing to play as U15's and did not play GPS.
But I dont know, I am guessing. I am not close to it at all

Archie still lives. Spoke to him recently. He used kiwi inspired training tactics I believe, that is, do as I say or I will thump you.
Here is the great man with the 14A's. He only had a photo with them if they were undefeated as well. No I am not in this photo. I played C's that year.

Sometimes being undefeated wasn’t enough to get him to make an appearance in the team photo. I played in one of his teams that was undefeated and didn’t have a single try scored against us (trials or comp). I can’t find the photo now but I am pretty sure he didn’t appear.

G’day gents
Just moved from Brisbane to Sydney for my accounting job and being a real footy head myself and an ex Nudgee boy I wanted to get the lay of the land in all forms of Schoolboy rugby. Finally have the coin to send my boy to a private school and me and the missus have decided on Joeys. He’s starting next year and I’m really keen for him to get into footy, having played in the Nudgee 1st 15 myself.
Anyway, sorry for that long introduction but hopefully I can provide some good analysis in the future.

Welcome Alexander, feel free to partake in any conversation as long as it's rugby related (I'm sure you know how this works.) I'm sure your son will be well looked after at Joeys. Many Joey's fans on this forum, and rightly so- probably the best rugby school in NSW, and by extension Australia.

From my understanding: There is no sport this weekend. Sport reccomences next weekend in the same format pre NSW Health's intervention, however next weekend will be round 2.
As for the rescheduling of round 1, we can only speculate, although I've heard it may be played mid week.

Since 2013 Scots have won the first XV premiership 5 times, no other school more than twice.
Joeys tied second with Newington on 2 premierships.
I let the results speak for themselves. and yes JOKER fully aware of the Joeys victories when shorts reached below the knee and the old leather ball weighed 5 kilos in the wet.
Our new accounting friend should adopt the same attitude as the tax office and dismiss anything more than 7 years old.
Scots would have been a far better investment
Welcome Alexander.

Interesting point Joker. How do measure success? Does Grammars early success make it a better Rugby school that Scots?And while I'm here mate, must suck to know Grammar has been more successful than Scots.
If anyone has any ways to measure the success of a Rugby School, I invite you to comment.
We could go Wallaby representatives, and Australian Schoolboy players as well.
I know Joeys have produced 57 Wallabies, 82 Waratahs and 103 Australian School boys
While I am here lets do the Australian schoolboy numbers (since 1973)
Joeys 103
Kings 57
Scots 48
View 45
Newington 39
Shore 23
High 17
Armidale 7
Grammar 5
