Noticed it as well. Had to stop watching and have a little chuckle to myself. @Joker needs a disguise.Terrific night last night, but I couldn't help but notice the popularity of one Joker in discussions I overheard from both Shore and Riverview boys. The schoolboys are catching on.
Joker clarified they're from Bourke Street Bakery
I am afraid I cannot put the 16's and downwards up as we simply do not have results.@Joker can you please put the ladder up. Cheers

I don't disagree with this with regards to High and Grammar but in fairness to TAS their Rugby program is fine, their issue is they just don't have the numbers (not players, students generally) anymore. If they want a level playing field they should realistically be playing in ISA with Stannies, Kinross etc that are very similar. I'm not sure how this would affect their GPS status but for the sake of a better rugby experience for the boys I am sure they could negotiate this, they were never part of the main comp in my day but played in trial games. High are a different kettle of fish, they should be nowhere near a high level sporting comp like the AAGPS these days. The only sport they can compete at is shooting which is essentially part of the physics program. With the pool Grammar draw from they could go OK if they lessened their academic focus a bit and actually strived for a more balanced selection criteria & experience for their students. I'm sure this has been done to death in the past but as a parent who now has kids in open age years, and who played against these schools when they were competitive, it really is a massive shame - I was at the Kings v High 3rds fixture a few weeks ago and although I felt a bit sad for the SHS players in this game (given the scoreline), I had nothing but admiration for the boys out there, and the handful who stayed behind to spectate, who were clearly full of passion.This is something you might want to take up with the Schools you list in regards to their Rugby Program before implying the boys selected weren't up to it.
Agree with everything your saying and I made an encompassing comment in reply to a comment included the 3 of them.I don't disagree with this with regards to High and Grammar but in fairness to TAS their Rugby program is fine, their issue is they just don't have the numbers (not players, students generally) anymore.
