NSW Rugby TV off to a great start with there coverage of the Tah’s trial. Website has crashed already on the U20’s game

If that’s true it’s backfired on them as I hear Lematrie and Poyton have both gone to league after being dropped at the last hurdle.

You must have missed the fact that Barker were joint premiers in 2nd XV comp

Same as Walsh last year, tick the box of getting the G&G jersey in Union then sign the league contract

The wording was key in my view and the word was ‘committed’ and only for 2025. I’m sure those that have another year at school haven’t signed and could still go to league or overseas like some did this year and I’m sure some of that 23 won’t be playing rugby next year.

IK was a class act and loved the school. He even showed up to watch the boys play Nudgee earlier this year when they were in Queensland on tour.

Well that didn’t take long. Makasini has signed a 3 year deal with the Tigers. Won’t be the last out of the winning squad sadly

Whole system is broken, play games in February and then lock kids into multiple trainings and camps in what is for most of them their HSC year just to cut them loose at the end of the year 8 months later. It’s a cynical ploy to stop some of them playing league

When were they mothballed? They played Tahs v Reds in February and a full school season and school association games

Pretty bad for some of the boys who’ve committed themselves to union all year to get dropped when leaguies who played their SG Ball season and schools league get picked in the 3rd and final squad selection and then make the trip. What message are we sending to the boys in future years. Loyalty...

It’s actually 4 boys, Talileva, Poynton, Thomas and Hill

What an amazing final day at Barker and a great example of what school footy can be after a tough couple of weeks but a fitting tribute to Ethan Kotarac with his brother coming on for Knox in the last 15mins of the 1st XV. Some great battles between the 2 schools across the pitch and in the...

Was a hell of a game it felt like Barker had it in the pack and Waves had the firepower in the backs. Every time that it seemed Barker had it won they invited Waves back in with penalties. Both No 8’s had immense games and would have been my MoM on both sides. Death Valley is a tough place to...

Tomorrows games moved to Joeys, GPS must have been scared of playing St Augs ISA on their home ground

Big day from the Barker pack, in particular the whole front row and No8. Lots of strong go forward and good over the ball at the breakdown with lots of turnovers. Expect to see a good number of the Barker pack across CAS 1’s and 2’s
