I agree that Joeys and Kings will be strong in 2018, but with the tendency for some schools (not all, in 2016 anyway) to play kids of u16s age up a level, i dont think 16As results are a strong indicator of future 1st XV potential anymore.
Take Scots 2016 u16 age group for example. Jeremy Williams, Will Harris and Brett Wellington were all u16s age in 2016 and all played mostly in opens, mostly in 2nds, although Will Harris played a couple in 1sts as well.
All benefited hugely from that experience and have been dominant performers this year, all making NSW 1 or 2 .

Admitedly, if I was the Kings coach I would have had a quiet word to the outside backs to try to get under his skin given his history.
Generally 16's play at 11am on joeys main field. 15s usually at 10amAnyone know what time J v I 16As game is on. Also 15As.

thanks again SS for the vid. Scots defense was immense for most of the game and probably the main difference. It's something New should learn from because New showed promise but simply leak too many points. Scots deserved the win.
Kings must be disappointed after beating Scots also by 3 in a trial, maybe only a month back and I'm sure would love a Round 2 chance. Scots 14 needs to be careful with brain snaps because am I correct in saying any attack to the head is technically a card? Admitedly, if I was the Kings coach I would have had a quiet word to the outside backs to try to get under his skin given his history. Maybe someone could help me with this - is it possible that the ref didnt card him because it was after the try was scored? does it make any difference if the infringement occurs during play or after a stoppage?
Just as well you aren't the coach 'one eyed pirate'.
The underhand tactic you openly advocate and applaud has no place in rugby. We can certainly do without it in schoolboy rugby. The reaction of the Kings number 13 to the softest of contact in response to his provocation said it all..he touched me, he touched me.sir..sir..
If we allow this sort of carryon before long we'll have them collapsing in a heap and writhing in agony at a gust of wind like the soccer players.
Have you thought about coaching soccer one eyed pirate..it may be better suited to your playbook?
A soft tap on the left upper arm of the Scots player responded by a well placed and very swift right cross to the jaw.Gee I dunno if I would call a tap like that from the King's player provocation. It looked good natured to me and was met with an out of proportion response. But what would I know. I only looked at the video. P.S. I support no team so I will now bugger off..
Winner of joeys and Riverview will take out the 16's.
Joeys 1 draw (scots)
Scots 1 draw (joeys) and 1 loss (newington)
Riverview 1 loss (scots)
Newington 2 losses (Riverview and joeys)
Don't think Kings have won a game in 16's - maybe beat shore
So long sorry short - winner takes at all at hunters hill in the 16s
Well one would assume it follows the broader gps program and is now offically a formal 1 round comp so on that basis it is fair.
you obviously missed "postage stamp-gate" at "New"....but we new it was coming....
I didn't realise Joeys handed out premiers pennant. Good on them. Wow. That would be a long presentation ceremony
Agreed. Good summary. Once again noting for the record the stupidity of a 5 round comp. well put armchair selectorGents how about we agree that 16A has been a very tight and competitive (non) competition.
Following this weekends results the following teams would be considered the most successful of the 5 round (non) comp
If Joeys beat View, Joeys will have had 1 draw and 4 wins
If View beat Joeys, View will have had 1 loss and 4 wins
If Scots win, the best they can come up with is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss
Putting it another way, if Joeys win, the boys will get Premiers pennants from the school. If they don't win, they wont.
Rest assured the boys from ALL schools (more likely parents as well) will know the results.
