On the injury point, could it be that with more trial games, more players are usually rested a bit more, more subs allowed and less loading on players/players pushing through early on for selection. It would all play a part.

I think that’s a fair statement and with 7 rounds to go, this will become a battle of attrition.
Will be interesting to watch all 6 schools back up next week and send there most competitive 1st and 2nd teams back out there on the Thursday for Rd 5.

A very strong schoolboy side. Who would come close to them? Kings 09-10, Joeys 19?

Ask any Joeys old timer and they will say Joeys 90-91. Kings 2002? Scots 93, Kings 2020
On a completely seperate note in relation to last weekends Kings v View game- i has very impressed as an old boy to see there were more View boys at the game in support. Even for a home game with about half the school boarding the turn out for Kings must be pretty disappointing for their players to see the lack of spirit.

View crowds have been excellent as of late
This is due to the school introducing 3 “warcry leaders”
it’s no Iggy the moocher but it’s a step in the right direction

I know Kings have 'compulsory' attendance days where boys must attend and they have limited to 3 weekends out of the 5 home games but it never seems to be a full crowd. It must be disappointing for the players on a home ground to see the opposition have more supporters. No doubt the school is being bombarded with 'excuses' why boys cant attend this weekend for the first compulsory game this weekend against Scots.

Wednesday Tip Day
By now we can see a trend with the cattlemen, Lane Cove swamp monsters and the Wookies of Stanmore looking strong.
Only one fearless pundit so far has tipped a blow out in any of the games and this is testament to how close 2023 is.
Get in now, think of the margins (they will play a role as you have seen)

Joeys 2019? Definitely not. Wasn't even the best team that year. There are MUCH stronger Joeys teams.
Kings 2020 was ridiculously strong. I believe every single back +1 in that team now has at least a professional development contract. Wilson (Tahs), Poolman (Force), Little (Force), Penisini (Eels), Sua'ali'i (Wallabies), Blackmore (Brumbies) plus I believe Hemsworth now has a Tahs development contract too?

I've also heard a theory that for a few seasons very little game time due to Cov19 and now we have gone back into full swing players bodies aren't seasoned toughened hence the amount of injuries that are occuring.

It's a good question, the worrying aspect is the injuries aren't sprained ankles etc (1 week out) allot of season ending injuries ACL etc.
