ISA 2025

Mate, when you look at the St Greg’s 16As for 2025, you can’t help but get excited. The backline’s electric with blokes like Ruben Evans, Xavier Young, and Max Wienke pulling the strings, while the O’Connor brothers and the Suamli twins bring pure grunt up front – heavy hitters who set the tone in every collision. Add in Tyden Hennessey, the big new signing from Waverley, and you’ve got a pack that’s built to dominate, giving the wingers all the room in the world to finish with their blistering pace. But don’t think it’ll all be one-way traffic, because Oakhill have got some real talent too – young guns like Ellers and Ethan Cooper out the back who can punish you if you switch off, and a silky No.10 running the show with sharp hands and vision. Their forwards hit hard as well, with plenty of go-forward and strong shape in the lineout that gives them a solid platform. It’s shaping up as a proper clash – raw power and polish from Greg’s up against Oakhill’s structure and skill.

Please add to this for those who know

Oakhill will also have Comito (No 4), Boys (1) , Wesser (14) and Butler (6) back. Some of these boys will be playing their 3rd year of 1st XV ... there was a change in policy a few years ago where they leaned to a if you are good enough then you are old enough to be put up.

I have taken note of the Gen Blue 15's and look forward to studying team lists for the coming seasons on the off chance that multiple players make their way into certain schools programs in the not to distant future. How you can be mid pack in the juniors and the consistently win 16's and opens is a case study in itself.

My question is how the morale of those who have paid their fee's and done their time in the A programs for up to 3 years all of a sudden being bumped to the B's and 3rds in their final years? Winning is good for the school on paper, but is it good for the school rugby community as a whole?

It's incredibly sad - bust your gut doing your best for your school, only to have your school cast you aside. Oh, and make sure you keep paying your school fees so we can afford to hand out more scholarships. I'd be ropable as a parent.

It's the opposite of your school/community sport should be. Not to mention the message it sends to your school community - when you have a problem, just through more money at it until it goes away.
