I'm surprised there hasn't been many mentions of young Darcy Breen in this forum, he's outdone all expectations making GPS 1 and NSW II. The converted back-rower has a big future ahead and I look forward to watching his next year and a half of AAGPS rugby.

You actually mentioned him In post 1805 where you said....
"With all respect to Darcy Breen, I think he is too young and inexperienced. He needs time to mature as a player and adapt to the front row position"...

Since that comment, Breen has been given time to mature and he has adapted to his front row position very well. All I wanted was others opinions on him not to point out messages from 2 months ago.

Not so many obvious and large PI boys IS - a perceived but as you say illusionary safety factor.

As a Scots devotee I think Darcy has had a tremendous season and deserves the selections and honours he has achieved.
He has held his own against all adversaries in the set piece and as a former back row is very mobile for a prop.
Always good to have front rowers come through and perform in Year 11 with another year to learn the dark arts of scrummaging and gain strength in the gym.
He should be vying for even higher honours next year.

Breen and Edwards should be the 2 props for both GPS 1 and NSW 1 next year, and from there who knows. Both had good campaigns at this years Nationals.

Team,
Can anyone assist me here with the Kings and Joeys 13a's results this year so far?
Thank you

Joeys rugby twitter is a good resource to look up historical scores. From a quick scroll through looks like Joeys 13As are undefeated to date - they beat Kings 10-5.

Because if you have those characteristics you're making a squillion in the wider world

My understanding is that's because the AFL have more journos than Newscorp has worldwide providing copy to the media outlets

Suggest there is too many boof-heads blocking the door for more women to be involved or directing them to the social committee at junior clubs. It is a massive loss to our development we are not further down the track by not
having more women and mums at the top of juniors. Mosman president and Warringah juniors pres are both ladies and not only well versed but bring perspectives that are well worth hearing. Elizabeth Broderick, recent ARU board appointee and former sex discrimination commissioner needs to get on board. She was a sideline mum for many years at a big Sydney junior club and do what she has done with the armed forces - enact change.
AFL are winning at school level because of the product they have, the support they give schools which usually means the teachers hand over 8 classrooms of kids while young AFL types take over and run them ragged for a couple of hours while teachers attend to their school work. Principles love it for that as well as low contact / injury risk. God help us when soccer get more money from a free to air deal and pump it into development. And when is rugby going to get a Super Rugby derby's, involving Aussie teams, regularly on free to air ?

NSW JRU President is a woman and has been for some time. You can decide whether junior rugby is in a better state than it was several years ago.

^^^Shore have 3 AFL teams this year, (2 last year and 1 the year before). I understand that Newington will offer AFL as a sport to Year 7 next year.

And I know for a fact Riverview is fielding more AFL teams; a dad I know sent his Yr 10 sons to Canberra for the week in the April school holidays for a Schools AFL tournament. The boys are Swans products (and built like it).
My understanding is the Riverview Yr 10 team/s plays in a Saturday club comp. The school I am sure would be more than happy to participate in an inter-school Saturday AFL comp with perhaps other GPS schools.
Less boys playing rugby sadly - these particular boys should be playing second row in the 16As.
