for those wondering what's the go with the BYE for the 4th XV, it's because View 4ths are playing Grammar 2nds in an unofficial "comp" which now includes Grammar's 2nds with the other 6 schools (curtain-raiser in the 3rds comp). This means 7 teams, so a bye is involved. Similar story with the 14Cs - View 14Cs play Grammar 14As, which leaves Joeys 14Cs with a Bye.
Seems to me the coaches want mcgrath in the team whether thats fullback or inside. Could have to do with the fact that mcgrath has been one of , if not Ignatius' best defensive back, opposed to Terry who has arguably not been the greatest on defence. Either way, Ignatius' back line is shifting week in week out, and seems to be their fatal flaw. Hopefully they can see some stability in the backline towards the backhalf of the season.
Thanks Subbie.
All this pathways and we still can't beat a NZ side FROM U18 TO THE WALLABIES LEVEL....frustrating. NEED TO PICK BOYS WHO WANTS TO PLAY AND REPRESENT AUSTRALIA, NOT JUST FOR A PAY CHEQUE! PERHAPS THIS FORUM COULD USE THIS PLATFORM TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG MEN TO TAKE PRIDE IN REPRESENTING AND WEARING THAT GREEN AND GOLD JERSEY. OR WHATEVER OZZIE JERSEY THEY WEAR AT AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL......
WE NEED TO GET OUR HEAD OUT OF THIS "GPS VS CAS VS ISA VS EVERY OTHER AUSSIE SCHOOL" MENTALITY BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS, BOYS DO NOT PLAY SCHOOL RUGBY FOREVER. AT THE END OF IT ALL, WEARING THAT GREEN AND GOLD (I ASSUME ) IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR EVERY YOUNG RUGBY UNION PLAYER. MAYBE I'M TOO OLD.
@The Cleaner while you try make a mockery of this prestigious name I strongly suggest you change your name , these dusty comments are not getting cleaner anytime soon! In fact they are turning into quite the mess.
Agree - still don’t think even close to their best backline will take the field against Joeys tomorrow.
McGrath is the best defender in that view team, View coach knows what he’s doing. The biggest move is probably Will Hodge, perfect player for a Riverview Joeys game.
Couldn't agree more, always punching well above his weight on defence.
