I hear your frustration Rob. The clause that forbids such behavior has now been deleted from the charter. This will be the just like the CAS soon where this is the norm.
As always all discussion of the "word that shall not be used" should be directed here,
School sporting scholarships/recruitment
In line with Scarfman's guidelines I have created this thread. I am very interested in this topic as I have always been of the view that schools should offer the talented sportsperson a scholarship. If they can offer scholarships for the talented musician and talented academic why not the...

Waves 31 Scots 24, check out the CAS website, I unleash on the Waves!
On a brighter note Waves won the 13as, 14as,15as and 16as by cricket scores.

Joeys 2nds are red hot when you consider they are mostly made up of 3rds players who are not wasting the chance to impress.
SJC 13A's are an unusual team as they have never played as a team before. Joeys has no Prep school.
I put this result down to the decline of rugby at Knox. especially in the Prep School where once they dominated.
As a NSWCIS selector and coach I would see Knox dominate this rep team. Now, not so much.
Now Knox are lucky to get two teams when they used to have a 5ths in Knox Prep.
This of course filters through to year 7. Such a shame.

Thought on St Ignatius v Oakhill
The old adage of a Champion team beats a team of Champions comes to mind.
Oakhill have a lot to like about that side and they are capable of winning the ISA if the Forwards can hold enough of a platform to feed some very exciting Backs clean ball with a bit of time.
Riverview look fit, well drilled and aggressive in defence which caused errors that lead directly to run away tries. They aren’t flukes or mistakes by opponents but forced errors. This is a side that can build from the platform the Front Row gives them. No monsters but a tight 5 looking to own the tight stuff.
Strange first half today with a lot of stoppages, penalties and handling errors from both sides. 12/5 to Oakhill at HT and deserved lead.
Whatever the View coaches told the boys at HT worked a treat with 3 quick tries that came from pressure and upping the speed of the game. As the game progressed you could see the Oakhill pack fade and struggle to keep up with a View side that maintained the pace. This didn’t stop the Oakhill Backs from creating chances and capitalising on a few though. They don’t need much space to eat meters. View maintained the rage and closed it out 45/26.

Oakhill: 2, 10, 15

Yes they do. Many were given another week to heal.
Plus plenty of reserves were brought on today.
Joeys have a history of plucking lads from the lower grades and playing them in different positions.
The 1st XV should look different next Saturday when compared to today.

Similar for View at least back a few years. Prep only had 1 maybe 2 sides so year 7 was the intake.
Very strange and not a good sign although very young. I remember Knox, Waverley being almost impossible to beat at that age and then around the 15s you had their number.
The 2nds result is a concern tbh. They were one of the other schools that could trial a good 2nds. Have to acknowledge Joeys probably have a very good 2nds though.

Very weak year but last year was the best age group for some time. However there are very few players in Years 7 and 8 so potentially the start of a trend. Years 9-11 have some strength and depth so the next few years will be better than this one but the long term is a concern.
Pretty much all the results now submitted.
Think this filter setting should show all the opens down to 3rds.
