Incumbent ?? Though both had overlapping injury woes pretty sure Poletto had the coaches nod as first choice last year and started in 5 or 6 games at #10 after returning from injury. Fair to say though neither may have been right to play at same time.

I'm holding off looking at the CAS forum for a while to all the views are in. I expect there will be some cannibalism expressed from those with no affiliation with Knox and Waverly. Trinity also for that matter who went down to St Pats I heard. Those 3 were being touted as challenges this year...

Not in total agreement with Azzuri. For me the 2 players chasing the 1sts #10 jumper at Kings are both able players but very similar as well. Both have decent pass / kicking games but don't feel they have ability to break or take on the line. Saturdays game also highlighted 1sts may need a...

Cranbrook loss to Kings was by significant larger score, even allowing Kings to score when Kings had two in the bin.

Rachet, would seem a bit inconsistent if I highlighted him (Quninn) in one post and then responding to a request for a review of the Joe v Marist match failed to mention him again. You may be right and my opinion is flawed but I have no reason to be disappointed, possibly more reason to be happy...

Won't say I am well informed but did see the Marist game. On the CAS forum one pundit thought Joeys would be one of the top GPS sides after the Barker trouncing. My comment is that both oppositions Joeys faced are well off the pace of top GPS sides. I also watched Kings trounce Cranbrook. (Not...

Strong reservations about a Y11 boy 16/17 years old playing against 19/20 year olds even if ARU criteria is being met. Wouldn't we all agree that Y11s who really stand out in schools 1st rugby are few in number. I seem to recall Joeys have a position when it comes to boys in the 1st and 2nd mix...

I don't think that was necessarily the motivating factor for Grant. Understand he was well regarded at Kings after being the starting half for NSW Schools U16 last year and would have been given every opportunity to contend for the firsts this year. There were 3 Y11s who won starting spots for...

My apologies because I got my games mixed up. The comments about Quinn and Barnes (Joeys) were from the Marist Canberra game week later.

In response to a few posts - Joeys v Barker. It was new boy Quinn #12 Y11 who set up early try and then kicked conversion from either sideline. He was very good. Not sure comments about Joeys potential to be a force this year can be made based on this game. As the author wrote, Joeys lack...

I understand Quinn may be new to the school ? Big hand in one of the first tries then proceeded to kick two over from either sideline. As parent from other school I think he will continue to have big impact. No doubt Joe's have some good backs which can line up against other teams this year but...

Do agree View will be one of the teams challenging as Terry and Pirina are quality and they have some decent forwards. Scott and Rorke in particular but whether they have enough quality in the scrum is the question. Joeys supporters should remember the current year 12 group have not dominated at...

Last years Newington 15As while having some decent players were not amongst the top teams. When I say decent players, I think 4 were selected in the NSW U15 team that played at the U16 Invitational, though Endemann was ruled out through injury. Possibility they may have a new #10 starting at...

No one mentioning big Miti too much. Just his third year at Joeys and having come from the bush, he has heaps of pent up enthusiasm for playing. Even though a younger year 12 boy, know the seasoned 1st players from other schools rate him. Think he was a big factor in the strong Joeys 15s and 16s...

Having a relationship with a different association but long history with the age groups applicable my humble opinion. Dainton and Slaven have been standouts in their age groups since U10s. Dainton essentially won the U16 game verse GPS with a late bit of brilliance. Slaven one of the best in a...
