it's utterly stupid that none of the CAS schools can field enough teams to play the majority of GPS schools on a given Saturday, it is unworkable to have a schools 1st XV play in an entirely different comp to their non existent 13c's. It is beyond daft to think that collapsing the traditions of...

There are multiple kicking options, agreed competition will be fierce.

fair point, I’d forgotten about Imogen, impressive game management for her age. Her father told me she is putting in a lot of work in the gym over summer.

Gosh, why is the wait list so short then if you are a Panthers contracted development player? That aside, if you know anything you’d know that lads at GPS schools are no more misogynistic than those found at Barker. If you rely on a school to ensure your son doesn’t become an arsehole then you...

So the data you refer to is mostly feelings based. Thanks for clarifying. If a boy or girl struggles socially that might have a bit more to do with the family. To be clear, I don’t have any data to support that just casual observations.

Could you please provide a reference to those "statistics"? and if it's true that boys learn better in co-ed environments, does that truth hold for girls?

How will boys benefit from diluting resources so girls can train along side them? Unless Newington magics up some additional inner west playing fields the zero sum nature of such things will mean the boys can train less or they will have fewer teams or both.

(For the Newington school council) It might be worth reading the newsletter that the then retiring Meriden principal circulated last year. It was staunchly in favour of a girls only school and shared substantial data supporting the position. Meriden is closest to Trinity whose own principal...

When economic practicality dictates it makes sense. That hardly seems the case in relation to Newington. There really doesn’t seem to be much in the way of hard data to support the educational benefit argument. As for the civilising argument, a) that’s the role of the family not the school...

Hmmm, not sure you know much at all about rugby at Barker in the 90’s or now….

c'mon the reason Barker doesn't have depth is they don't encourage it. By that, I mean they don't develop it, they just don't bother. Late in the piece they solve the problem by harvesting depth from other paddocks.

Based on what? Feelings? Seriously, there is no data that supports this "thinking" if you can call it that.

And Minto

There are a few kicking options, Fowler, Tombs in particular but the competition for the 9 jersey will be red hot.

yes, both good players but the tight 5 won't be underdone in any sense in 2024.

who often have multi generational links to the school.

The Marist tradition dating back to Champagnat’s original vision was to provide education for boys from rural communities. The school has gone to great lengths to ensure the demographics remain about 1/3 country. The headmaster visits country centres regularly throughout the year and there is...

what is waterpolo?

The Tahs brains trust would tell you the main purpose of talent ID is to stop the drain to the NRL by providing a viable pathway. Although I agree with you, it is kind of pointless.
