With all this talk about Joeys and their 16 year olds playing First XV and being either strong enough, or not (whichever angle you are taking), just thought I'd mention that New are apparently playing 4, possibly 5, 16s in firsts this weekend. Not sure whether that tells you that New don't rate Joeys much, or whether these New boys are as up to the task as their Joeys counterparts apparently are, but it does mean that the sides should be fairly balanced in terms of having a mix of young uns and old uns.

Then why is everyone making a great big fuss about the year 10's at joeys

8, 9 and 15 who played last week against Shore, and one possibly two other backs although not sure what positions they will be playing.

Why use that as an excuse to downtalk the players who have worked hard to acheive their goals

now bighughie,
i never doubted their hard work to acheive their goals however i still firmly believe that now the standard of players from the current Joey's firsts team is lower than in previous years. Through this belief i come to the conclusion that the year tens in the joey's 1's would not be there if the bar of standard players in the Joey's 1's was higher.

I'm only gently suggesting it mkidd, but those new forwards are not small and safety these days does seem to rank highly with refs (I haven't been around GPS rugby long enough to know of similar situations). I thought the SHORE forwards were quite organised and despite this were still reversing at a fast walking speed. By all accounts the Joeys scrum may be smaller than SHORE's....although I would challenge any team to find a smaller hooker!

Isn't there an old rule about GPS scrums only being allowed to move 1 or 1.5 m? Can anyone throw any light on this?

Also the new boy, I think his name was Oscar Lee P or something, seems at the centre of everything in the forwards and he went off with 15 to play with what looked like a thigh injury? Anyone know? He looked VERY useful, had red headgear.
As I say I'm not sure one can read too much into the new Joeys game this weekend. Everyone here seems to be talking about the Joeys backs....alll sounds great but you need to get the ball first! I wouldn't have thought the new boys will be kicking to the Joeys 15! He looks sensational. Of note perhaps the new kicking game last week was poor and I thought the new fullback was average at best.

i did not watch the SHORE game last weekend but im sure that NEW dominated in size in the scrums but who knows like you said not too much can be read into this game and maybe you shouldnt underestimate joeys because in the past they have pulled off some amazing stuff like against kings with the 21-20 game, when joeys broke kings fence, if anyone saw that.even though this is only a trial game it should be interesting this weekend

it is highly unusual that up to 6 u16 players are in the 1s and 2s (sandell, pennisi, curtin, deegan, schwager(yr11), hardy)

Firstly joeys dont persist with putting U16 players in the opens. there have really only been two players in the history of st josephs rugby that were in the 1st rugby in yr 10 they were kurtley beale and darren junne with the latter only playing 3 games and you need 4 games to be counted in the team. secondly these boys are there because the yr 12 this year is not particularly strong in the rugby area so these boys have all been given the chance and none are strugling at the level they are currently at wheather it be 1st or 2nds

David Hickey, joeys hooker finished year 12 two years ago played the whole season in the starting lineup for the firsts in year 10. there have been plenty of others
