Honestly this whole “old boy” problem is just one massive overblown scapegoat issue … you’d never see joeys give up their home ground for such nonsense

far more dedication and money has gone into it than the other fields

Come off it lol, we both know it costs farrrrrr more than “few dollars” to keep that joeys field in that world class condition all year round ..spending that kind of money on a school oval Is not a priority for some of the other schools

Yes agreed, The reason for many attending a sports high school in first place is you have sporting potential- agreed it’s pretty much the same going to say joeys or kings just like you go the sbh or grammar with academic potential.. Now contrary to what most people think… these school...

Mate you can say the exact same thing about rugby union at private schools … let’s be honest most kids who play at gps /cas schools stated at local clubs first. That’s why there is huuuge drop off at club rugby @ around the u/13s . if you come from a “rugby family” and live in a “rugby Area”...

Lol relax .. it’s a selective school, like grammar like James ruse … none of these school are great sporting schools, to say it was a conspiracy to bring down the gps is laughable .. So is saying state sports schools don’t produce solid athletes, for example endeavour sports high has...

I’ll take a stab .. 03

You’ll never smoke alone

Then share it around, each week a different captain… remember “everyone is a leader”

Pretty much

No school captain ? No prefects ? ..ok, in that case, (and just to be fair) they shouldnt have a captain of the 1stxv then … remember guys, “everyone’s a leader at joeys”

I think we are in agreement here .. I was talking about school rep sides …. State / national sides under the ARU can do as they please

He was already turning pro he didn’t need to NCAA eligibility .. so that’s a catch 22… he also played for his school throughout his senior year, with many games getting PPV on espn views (which I’m sure the $chool$ got a cut of ) so it goes both ways anyway it doesn’t matter in Australia, we...

Nah I can read between the lines.. it’s pretty obvious what you were alluding to

Ah Iast time I checked the ARU doesn’t have a draft and doesn’t use the college system to recruit the majority of its players Secondly your confusing College with High school.. There is nothing stopping a Pro team approaching a high school kid .. Lebron was courted by many pro teams while at...
