He was last seen in the Eastern Suburbs with his protege working at an independent boys school. Guess who, don't sue.

in all fairness they have played kings and view the two top teams in the comp.

I choose not be there.
It may surprise you but I strongly support the View yr 12 players who are denied playing Joeys in their traditional swamp.
The 8th wonder in the world helps no school in particular and is only being used to keep the old boy reunions in check. I find the atmosphere to be un-rugby like suitable for the occasion it is. #letthemplay

In addition, Both games could have easily gone the other way. Not denying both Kings and View a good win but the talent is still very much there with New. What is more concerning (imo) is that they lost both home games against View and Kings. Unless they improve massively over the next few games, i don't see newington beating Kings or View away.

would have to agree and disagree here with you joker.
agree due to the fact they are losing there chance to play cross town rivals at there home ground, whilst also losing the “home ground advantage”
Disagree as these boys get an opportunity which only so little truely do, which is to play at a professional rugby league/ union stadium. A thing boys in the 1s 2s and even 3s would almost never experience. Whilst also getting to feel like it is a professional game due to the crowd size.

Pretty sure the View vs Joeys game last year brough in more spectators then majority of AU super rugby games this year...

I’m with you on this.
I’m not a fan of it and don’t let it be spun as the spectacle needs the space. It’s because of the state of View last year and what they let it become.

Yes it did but this is schoolboy rugby and it should be played at schoolboys. Joeys crowds each weekend often beat Tah's attendance recently
Didn't they used to televise GPS games?, would love to see them bring it back. I know SkySports in NZ does it for schoolboys.

If that's the case it is a shame that View passed up the chance for the 1's game to be the curtain raiser for the Tahs game later that day.
IMO, a lot of individual brilliance but not enough cohesion, can't say I'm anywhere close to the Newington camp, but from there attack it looks kind of pedestrian with one out run.

Yes they did. The issue I have with televising is that it may discourage people from actually going to the games in person.

It’s a shame that this is the case, completely ruins the experience for the View year 12s. No Year 12s have seen a GPS Joeys home game since 2018 (when they were in Year 7).

I too have seen this Serpents team, they popped up on my Instagram feed just the other day doing their team song, “Oh When The Serps”, I just had to chuck them a follow!
Great to see these boys having some fun and playing great footy at the same time. No doubt you should all have a gander! I believe their username is TheKingSerpents on Instagram. They’ve just posted their weekly “Wallpaper Wednesday”, love to see this culture and mateship, in a time when it is so forgotten!
Cheers,
