Round 9 next Saturday

The King’s Community is invited to our Back to King’s event on Saturday 10 August.

King’s will take on Riverview on home soil, with several sporting matches across various sports for our guests to enjoy throughout the day.

Food and drink will be available to purchase on the day with our sports clubs manning the JS White Oval BBQ, along with both the FAFA Tent and White Oval canteen that will both have food and drink throughout the event.

No matter your ties to King’s, bring along your picnic blanket and chairs, we look forward to seeing you there.

Are moderators allowed to have a go at other schools..like you do against Scots Joker?

That is a good one. Maybe I could turn down my fun memes but how will sell my book?

And by the way I am an equal banter merchant about all schools. Just go back to the wild old days when I would have fun with other school, including Joeys

I have been enjoying banter for many years. The mods have expressed support but if it becomes nasty then I was thumped. As a former $cots teacher I still have friends there and made new ones from Scots here. People like @Balmain Subbies could explain to you the fun we enjoy. We never use "the word that shall not be used" here but the occasional triangle player bursary is referenced.

Thanks for raising your point. In short I will be busy these days dealing with students who come here to create trouble to bother giving Scots a jab. Oh heck...here is one more.

Will players that received red cards also face
The possibility of further sanctions?

I have never had explained the difference between all the blazers kinds seem to have.
We all know the traditional one, but what does the stripe and the sky blue blazers mean?

At Joeys, if you were given a red card on Saturday then you would also get a "NO Card" Sunday detention
Started at 8am and finished at 8pm. Each hour you would write out 6 pages of A4. 30min break at 10.30, one hour at 1pm. Afternoon break at 5.30pm. We would ask for "six of the best" rather than do this. I never did one but I was able to talk my way out of one.

My Takes after watching games and replays

Riverview Vs Scots
Oh lord I would not wanted to have been Zac Fittler on the car ride back home. Nearly gave Sualli a run for his money with that shot. I also had some big doubts about Plamondan coming into this game but he has truly shut me up with one of the best debuts a boy could ask for. Very scary for the years to come. Not sure how that try in the corner got called off either looked fine to me but oh well

Shore Vs Newington
Actually surprised with this turnout. Always thought Shore would win but such a close game combined with a great game from Grantham made it very enjoyable to rewatch. This shore victory and Joey's loss spices things up a whole lot more and we might have the greatest game of all time on the cards next weekend.

Kings Vs Joeys
AND FINALLY, for there has never been a greater day on the face of this planet than what I was able to witness. The 3rd of August 2024 may be the greatest day in my schooling life. Forwards simply had more energy in the tank than Joey's and our backs were spectacular. I think I'll be naming my son Hayden after his performance. Will say excellent game from Justice Taumoepeau but Joeys fell apart and the "BOYS FROM THE SJC" just seemed all that more quiter then usual.

Yes but the Schools "Judiciary" have a reputation of handing out very light sanctions

Sky blue is the most sought after. It means you have won an opens Premiership (1st XV, First VIII etc.)

I believe the stripes is for a representative player (Presidents XV, GPS 1st XV etc.)

Close.

Sky blue is honours - default for winning a 1sts comp, or can also be for some high level rep honours e.g. Aus U18s.

Stripes (butchers coat) is colours. Full colours are given for being in any 1sts, half colours are for winning a premiership in 2nds or in the case of rowing any GPS crew that wins at the HOTR. Colours can be given ad lib for other reasons e.g. the 1st Jr VIII when they won at the nationals last year.

Don't all year 11 and 12 kids wear colour coats nowadays?

No they have to earn them. I think they may have tried that years ago but it didn't go down well. They have however extended the criteria for honours and colours beyond the sporting arena....

Joeys don’t get fed after a loss like that …

Yes…Music and Drama

They certainly hand them out more these days or is it that the school is more successful? I’m uncertain that it’s a good idea tbh…..and my boy has one.

Lets hope next saturday is a repeat of 1984. Shore Beat Joeys convincingly in the trial. Joeys came back when it counted and accounted for SHORE 12-4. May need divine intervention for it to happen after what I watched yesterday.

As for the send off thing at Joeys, never got a no card, In year 7 I was sent off in the 13 E's for poor mauling technique (Had not played rugby before and swung my elbows hitting boys on either side of the ruck. Did have to see showbag though and that was scary.

I think its an automatic 1 game suspension so we wont see him against SHORE. The ref had no choice, though there were quite a few high shots in that game let go from both sides.
