I have seen some footage and it’s coming....
Joeys priority is the boys first, hence they get the best seats in the house and makes them easy to contain.
The opposition student supporters do though get seats provided on the eastern touchline which is the same as Shore do. Not many schools provide this.
Back in 1998, Joeys paid for temporary grandstand seats at thr southern end of the ground when they played TKS for the title and it was televised on the ABC. Joeys had three games broadcast but then the AAGPS agreed that privacy of kids came first and all agreed (yes, even $cots) to not allow this to happen again. The Dark Empire though still broadcast their touch football sevens tournament online but you will note not many GPS schools send teams to this propaganda/scouting event.
Why the cheap shot at The Scots Sevens event Joker?
Sevens has really taken off the last few years and a number of GPS boys have used this as a pathway to higher rugby.
For a propaganda/scouting event the promotion has been very low key.
The event is shown online for the overseas and interstate teams whose parents and followers are unable to attend.
Can you please refrain from further childish jibes.
QH,
The Waves 14as beat Shore both games this year.
Someone must be giving the Roar video highlights. There are 2 quality highlight vids of Joeys v New, and a Barker Waverly one.Sorry Pirate. They do not. This is due to the agreement the GPS Heads made in 2011 regarding maintaining student privacy. Official videos are not shared publicly. There are though some people (Steppa for example) who take good quality video but overall all it is limited. Joeys have been clamping down on people (not associated with the schools) taking photos and video.
Joeys are very funny about photographers on their sacred ground
I gather you are definitely expected to get permission . if you have your monster camera
and high profile photographers have been unceremoniously removed is my understanding
other than that Joeys definitely has some nice protocols that they seem to follow . adds to the aura
although personally it would be nice to get some more seating . as the ground sure does host some ding-dong battles
It promises to be a big day at Stanmore on Saturday with the annual "Back to Newington" day festivities. There will be two BBQs (the rugby BBQ and the "big" BBQ, as well as the taste of Tonga stand, the AFL gourmet pie stand and the little bit of Lebanon stand. And more.) So bring your appetites and make a day of it if you're visiting from North Parramatta!
In terms of rugby , games on Johnson start with New 6ths vs Kings 8ths at 845am, leading up to the big game at 3.15. Other games of particular interest may be the 16As on Johnson at 1245, the 13As on Old Boys #2 at 1pm and the 15As at 10am on Old Boys #2. Unfortunately, the 14s are at Tempe, starting with the 14Es at 8am and the 14As at 12 but it's worth the journey to see the future of black and white rugby.
It's always a good day with a lot on. A reminder too that parking at Stanmore is spectacularly bad at the best of times and will be worse this Saturday.
Quickhands, no bagpipes?! At hunters hill . that is a bit mean.
That joeys 2nds team has that many good players. players tipped to be in ones. like nick jones. wasn't he an Aussie schools under 16 prop
I almost wonder if they are stacking the team, or there have been behavioural issues?
Anyway the 1sts thu 3rds fixtures should hold some interest at Bellevue hill

Photo from the GPS Headmasters meeting after the ban was announced a few years ago.
Hi Guys, bagpipes were banned at hunters hill way back in 1997 if my memory serves me correctly. Back when Joeys were the Dark Empire..how times have changed.
How times have changed indeed.
This was the cutting edge for Joeys rugby in 1997
This is Scots in 2018
7's sometimes pick up a few.I’m hearing the Scots 8 is off to the dark side, the real dark side that is, Rugby League. Another fantastic player lost. I don’t know myself but I hear that there are no ‘professional’ opportunities in rugby straight out of school vs league.

Well then, Joeys need to up their funding from the church if they want the latest toys.
