Out of interest, which schools and players?
Kings have had Callum Conroy and Luke Osbourne from the top of my mind.

How expected.Excited to see redordead’s thoughts on this one.
But I imagine he will say no.
One rule for Barker, one for everyone else.
Age dispensation.
Concussion Laws
Blue Cards
Coach microphones
All these rules and more have been abused and broken in the last few years by Barker and there has been no change or punishment.
hmmm, you should probably check your facts. Anyway, I think it is a good thing for the boys concerned, time to develop academically and physically can't be a bad thing.They don't repeat year 10. The boys who were playing up an age group to play with their school year drop back down to U16s at year 11 unless they are going to play 1sts. So Knox U16s is usually a deeper age group as the younger year 11s fill out the year 10s.
How do you know the level of his concussion was “so bad”? Were you the physio that observed him and for that matter passed him? It’s time to move on let’s focus on the season to come should be a close and ripping seasonHow expected.
The blue card debacle was a terrible terrible moment. The fact the player was allowed to continue playing after being concussed so badly is beyond reprehensible with everything we now know about player safety and concussions. And to ignore the blue card from the referee and still continue to say things like,
“The Ned Slack-Smith blue card scenario was incredibly stupid grow up.”
Just shows how Willing they were to put their own kids at risk for success.

Pot, Kettle, Black.If this is you you should genuinely have a good hard long look at yourself.
The ref gave him a blue card and he had several stage one signs of concussion. Only Barker would do anything except follow the expected protocols.How do you know the level of his concussion was “so bad”? Were you the physio that observed him and for that matter passed him?

And obviously they did the wrong thing because Australian Rugby came in and said he wasn’t allowed to play for the CAS game. So, maybe Barker are more important than Aus Rugby, but they still weren’t allowed to let him play and failed to follow appropriate procedures… as is always the case.
What protocols do barker consistently fail to follow? One time they get it wrong and you harp on about it for two years. Also we’re you at the game and saw him exhibit signs of a concussion? All signs pointed to him being winded in a tackle.And obviously they did the wrong thing because Australian Rugby came in and said he wasn’t allowed to play for the CAS game.

Didn't know watching rugby for 56 years makes you a doctor.I’ve seen enough rugby in my 56 years to know when someone is concussed.

You don’t need to be a doctor to recognise a concussion, that’s why refs can give blue cards.Didn't know watching rugby for 56 years makes you a doctor.
Hence why rugby Australia came in and said that barker had not followed blue card protocols and disallowed him from playing in CAS.And the blue card was wrongly handed out. Hence the clearance from medical professionals. Hence why having a thing about it is weird. Move on.
is it your position that concussion laws are silly?Silly law.
Hard to tell but knox definitely the team to beat.Predicted ladder for the 23' season? Keen to see everyone's thoughts on how schools will go.
