Hardly a "mini-camp", Joker. 55 boys + ~20 staff arrived in Dubbo at lunchtime Monday and trained / drilled / played internal trials until lunchtime today (Saturday). The squad was superbly hosted by various establishments in Dubbo - most pubs in Dubbo appear to be owned by Joeboys - and had their final dinner at the Commercial Hotel where some bloke called Scott Morrison dropped in and addressed the boys. Some trivia for the cognoscenti - ScoMo played prop for SHS 1sts in 1985.

Indeed AV. Joeys don't do anything "mini". They go everywhere en masse (usually in coaches).

I spent a weekend in Dubbo about 25 years ago for a mates wedding (Joeys old boy) and we stayed at the Castlereagh Hotel, which I think was owned by a Joeys Old Boy at that time. By the look of the images on google all the pubs in Dubbo have had significant facelifts in the past 25 years. :)

The Joeys boys attended the Anzac Dawn Service in Victoria Park with a very large crowd at 5:30am. The MC made special mention that in the true spirit of Anzac, the Joeys squad included both a Wallaby and an All Black amongst the staff.
Special prize to anyone who can name them...

Blades was a no brainer but Devine was pulled out of my ass. Didn't know he was involved at all.
Never met the bloke but I do know he was born in the bush and was a bloody hard scrumhalf...but aren't all they all!

Urban legend help that Br Emery "Archie" was an AB. Was he an attendee..?

So many generations of Joeys boys have a lot to thank Boydy for. Rare do you see these days the level of pure dedication that this main has demonstrated for literally decades and decades.

Thanks Tony.

Dear community

A mate of mine here on the forum has emailed me to say that the retold story I shared here was incorrect and had errors. I apologise for the mistake and any harm it may have caused. Consider myself banned to the sin bin. If anyone knows the truth about Archie and his back ground I would love to know.

Thanks for a wonderful glimpse into rugby's heart and soul - mutual respect and a shared culture. Stories like this revive my love of the game and help put the current shenanigans into perspective.

Now if they would only bring back rucking.........

If there was rucking, there would have been no McCall and we still be speaking of the true wonders of Chris Roche. He may have been short in stature but he was definitely a giant-hearted performer who put his head where other wouldn't even put their feet. He was king in a time when being a ball sneak took huge courage and the ability to withstand size 12 boots rucking your back and head. Jean Pierre-Rives once said that Roche had a pretty face, but if he continued to play rugby like he did, he’d become very ugly. A great loss to the game.

Enjoyed watching him play. Had such a huge motor he seemed to be first to every single breakdown and making several tackles in a row.
