Hi Propsarespeedy
When you posted the scores from Scots v New you said that the 16A's score was "not relevant " as 4 boys were playing opens and others missing due to injury/sickness.
First of all, cop the loss on the chin. It's not an official GPS comp and these boys will go around for another 2 seasons, so will be interesting when they all go up.
If you are making excuses for Scots loss due to players going up ( see my argument against yr10 boys going up and playing opens ) New had at 4 boys in the 2nds and 2 def starters that got injured from the winning Randwick state champs. Sure some might have been in sick bay alongside the yellow and blue boys.
Joker wants scores from 16A/B games. Not open/injury or sick bay reports. Every school in the 16's age group is in the same situation. Some schools decide to promote more players from their 16's age into opens than others. That's their problem. It might pay dividends in later years ( may not ).
But the result is the result and it was a big win against a heralded opponent.
The 4 Scots boys mentioned that played opens, some played ok and some imo disappointed and looked out of their depth ( which can happen when you put a 15 year old against 18 year olds in Rd 1 comp game ).
So, can we give the scores to Joker for the lower grades without any bs. When they hit opens, then game on.
BTW, the missing regular Scots 12 gave New a huge leg up. When you see him next, please thank him.
