Yes. They were superb. Jason Jones Hughes (I think). Great game to beat Joeys at Centennial Park. As a yr 11 Joe Boy, that was the first competition game I had seen the cerise & blue broken bar jerseys lose over 5 yrs (mainly thanks to Jorgensen’s tackle at Scots in ‘90 and Prior’s length of the field intercept in 91 or 92). On that day in 93, boys in brown & blue were brilliant. Both sides threw everything. Ryan Rogan one of the great schoolboy fullbacks left the field injured for Joeys. Wheeldon’s grubber and “run around the post” try for the Joe boys was ruled out. At the final whistle, which I recall bathed in sunlight, Joeys’ crowd stood still, stunned for a moment, and then cheered off Tony Hannon’s “shoulda been champs” team. A great moment. As a postscript, we were not as magnanimous when Scots caned us at Bellevue Hill. A better postscript was Steve Devine’s tackle dumping Scots’ future Wallaby Bowman over sideline for the Centenary of Rugby in 94. But I digress.Was ‘93 the year that SBHS should have won? Asking for the history bofs. No mic drop required.
