That'll be a good game for Barker Eastwood got a lower grade colts win over Uni a few weeks back and getting into some good form, still that Barker side will put 40+ on. I'm absolutely shocked Shore would have pulled out. I thought they were supposed to have a strong year this year. In my day at...

Well as is usual with colts there will probably be a few 17 and 18 year olds in there from Gordon but Barker has been a strong recruitment hub for Gordon over the last few years and seeing as its village day at Gordon I wouldn't be surprised if a few boys are asked to stick around around and the...

Barker are having a run against a Gordon Colts team consisting of U/19 players this weekend. Should be a good test for the team against one of the stronger clubs. Anyone know any other times School teams have played a friendly against one of the Shute clubs?

If he is leaving I'd just be furious for the half back in the 1st's this year who was taken off in his last home game so that Antico could get some experience. It ultimately reflects the rugby program at Aloys though, I'm of the opinion that neither the director of rugby or either 1st xv coaches...

Classic Australian selection picking a hooker who can't throw

My Thoughts on next year 1:Waverley 2:Barker+Cranbrook (Tied) 3:Knox 4:Aloys 5:Trinty

Pollard and Cameron both started in 2017

Saunders is one to watch for the rest of the tournament I think, very mobile with great skills as well I believe he also used to play 13, theres nothing as good as a prop who runs like he's an outside back. Ive seen him in the club system over the years and he has consistently been a higher rep...

I would say Pollack is actually the better player, played Edmed off the park last week.

Woah, thats a bit heavy don't you think mate. I was only saying my comment as he isn't able to be picked for CAS trials, which is unfortunate for him and CAS as he is the standout 12 of the comp. I do think he should still be allowed to play for competition games though.

So because Nercessian started at Barker in year 11 in 2017 that officially rules him out then. Shame he's a good player who could have used another year for representation and would have made a higher level

Ben Pollack from Aloys will be the starting 10 for CAS, completely schooled Edmed yesterday made him look amateur. Not saying Edmed doesn't deserve to be picked, he's a very good player and his performance against Joeys was immense. But if your a selector looking at the Aloys-Trinity game Edmed...

Barker will most likely finish first and Waverley 2nd but I think 3rd really can go too any team, Trinity would be favourites to go there but they play Aloys, Knox and Waverley all away all of which are very tough grounds to win at.

Keep in mind that Hawkes was the third choice hooker after Kennedy from Knox and F Spalding last year so I would back either of them to be picked over him, but he may find himself in Pollards position last year on the reserves getting rep experience.

Ah that may be so, Im only saying what I've heard on the mill this year
