agree.....I wouldn't be able to "banter" as much. Plus the target I already have on my back would be the size of a houseI’m not convinced involving those two would help things.

In my opinion, there are a few schools that don't focus enough on academics... It's all up to personal preference. If you have a son who has not much interest in sport but is really into his academics then Grammar and SBHS are great schools. If your son's a rugby nut but doesn't care for academics, then there are a few other schools I would suggest.I don't understand why have a selective sporting (likes sports schools) path and a selective academic path. It shouldn't just be students who are good at academics the school needs more people who are good at multiple things
I like this lineup for an injury prone team!Just received the Joeys 1st XV team list to take on Riverview this weekend at Leichhardt

2. Atticus Heaven
3. Harry Bell (vvc)
4. Quinn Dickinson
5. Darcy Fogarty (vc)
6. Archie Campbell
7. Patrick Young
8. Harry Darling
9. Hwi Sharples
10. Joey Fowler (C)
11. Jack Duffy
12. Hunter Fogarty
13. Ronan Leahy
14. Ben Whyte

Disappointing for joeys with both Jorgensens unfit to play. Jack Barrett also being ruled out due to an ongoing knee injury. Will be interesting to see who steps up considering both C and VC are unfit

Gotta backup on what Joker is saying here,Looks like we now have the Joeys year 12 lads here. I wonder what happened to the View boys? There has been very little "banter" between the schools this week. I am looking forward to what the lunatic Wolves have in store for their cheering. I am hearing rumours of banners, drums, smoke and special cheers just for Joeys. I am sure the cerise and blue army will bring their biggest voices .
Oliver Pestonji is one to look out for. Although only a slim build he looms large presenting a major threat to each opposing team. His deadly boot and incredible acceleration have seen him cross the line multiple times.News out of training today:
Greg Thompson (Coach of Joeys 1st XV) has let go of Ben Whyte and is looking at bringing up Oliver Pestonji to fill in the #14 role. Pestonji has scored 7 tries in his last 4 matches for the college and is out to prove he can keep his spot in the triple bar. After talking to his coach (mr. Jeremy Ticehurst) I am feeling extremely excited to see how performs at Leichhardt oval on Saturday in front of the huge crowd.
Yes i believe thats what joeys coach greg thompson has been carrying in his bag for the last few weeks, what a way to debut for the young mand pestonjiOliver Pestonji is one to look out for.

On a side note:
After work I went to SJC No.1 and OP has said "i will turn those jesuites into door mates".
Only time will tell.

The Scots Mighty 13Fs beat them twice!!16B's, 14E's and I think there are others but i don't know
Was the criteria to enter the school at all different/easier to meet?When I was schooling there, SBHS also had the selective policy, so there has been no change there SB
The advent of soccer and other winter sporting alternatives - coupled with a changing demographic of the student base - has simply eroded the rugby program to the point where we are now at
Very Questionable the credibility of this as sources say otherwise. Sounds rather like bs.Just received the Joeys 1st XV team list to take on Riverview this weekend at Leichhardt

As an insider at SBHS I can advise that the intake is solely based on State Government guidelines. There is no way to vary this whatsoever. They have to accept any boy that applies and is successful in the selective exams. Each boy and parent is told upon entry that they must play sport on Saturday however getting them to do this is almost impossible. Excuses are aplenty. There are only 180 boys entering in year 7 and usually there is only one or two boys that have previously played rugby. It is very tough to convince parents to allow their boys to play rugby.When I was schooling there, SBHS also had the selective policy, so there has been no change there SB
