Can I ask a question of the readers. Is the quality of the teams and players much lower than last year‘s comp. As a Joeys parent this years side is much weaker than last years team. Same too from what I have seen of Scots, Newington and Kings.

This is complete nonsense. Social media at its best. Rumours being put out there which are completely baseless putting undue pressure on kids. I know for a fact it’s baseless.

The Newington boys arrived in year 10. The two Joeys boys have been there since Year 7. Not sure about the two boys at Kings.

To be fair most of the contracted players have been playing Rugby League from a very early age ie well before they played union for school. Most have played development squad, Harold Matthews and SG Ball for their respective teams. In the current crop of GPS 1st players who are contracted...
