Sawyer isn’t in starting line up this week. Anyone know why?Aside from the big name players e.g Jacques, Lemaitre etc here are a few of my picks to make some high representative teams:
#5 Riverview - Dan Smith - Hard ball runner, solid in the lineouts and a defensive stalwart of the View pack.
#15 Kings - Ben Sawyer - From what I've seen - agile, great boot and an ability to create space
#6 Shore - Gus Gordon - Similar to Smith, he's a big unit. Strong in his carry and loves to make his presence felt on defence.
You heard wrong.Typical shore supporter.
A win against Joeys is a win against Joeys, who from what I heard were playing their full team, Auggies came 3rd in the Schoolboys world champs and beat last years NZ champions just weeks ago, you might want to watch out for them when they take on shore next month, I wouldn’t dare to write them off in any match this year.
Mate it's clearly a 2024 power ranking, if it was all time I'm pretty sure Joeys would be at the top. I still agree that Shore shouldn't be in it's own catergory but they are above some GPS schools.Firstly the post makes no mention of this year and just comments on the schools overall. Secondly, even if it was just this year alone, I think it would still be unfair to rank Shore on an entirely different tier than any other school.
Propsarespeedy, I think shore should be in their own category. In particular with the new addition of Gardner (not sure his middle name) Dowling. He is a very aggressive individual and has been known to leave people on the floor on the footy pitch. Furthermore, just having a look at the team list, number 11 looks a lot like Brian To'o, just wondering if there's any relation there.Mate it's clearly a 2024 power ranking, if it was all time I'm pretty sure Joeys would be at the top.

BoshIsn't it ridiculous schools like Newington, Kings etc don't match Joeys down to the 8th's. It's crazy how joeys 15's get beat 40-7 by kings 8th's, thats taking the mickey. It's also a bit of a joke how Oakhill on their school Facebook put their win against Joeys 2's as a 'Win against St Joesph's College 1st XV'. Like seriously, these schools want to flaunt they need to match up 1's to 1's 8th's to 8th's etc. There can't be an argument against the serious depth Joeys have. Being the smallest GPS school yet putting up a 16th's in the open which have to fold due to competition reasons. Currently, joeys and the Shute Shield have a serious back injury due to carrying Aus Rugby.
NopeI have heard some news coming out of the scots camp. A great story of hard work, a year 11 7th XV player Alex (The Brick) Lewis-Thorp is making his 1st XV debut.
How is it the school's fault that there is limited depth? It's the students choices, and now that we are in 2024, there are increasingly more boys playing sports like soccer, volleyball, etc.Isn't it ridiculous schools like Newington, Kings etc don't match Joeys down to the 8th's.

Just because two social teams might be the 8th XV of Joeys and the 8th XV of Kings, doesn't mean they are evenly matched. These fixtures are made relative to the skill level of each team. Joeys 15s and Kings 8s are probably closer in skill level than would seem on paper. Perhaps the Kings team simply outplayed them on the day.Isn't it ridiculous schools like Newington, Kings etc don't match Joeys down to the 8th's.

At one stage they were using Latham Park over at CoogeeYeah extremely true. Atleast before the construction they at least had the smaller one (Kirkland Oval???) right next door. Having to go to that shocking Vaucluse park or Centennial Park is something the whole Scots community, including the coaches, hate. Joeys, Newington, Shore are fantastic and extremely lucky to have all those fields, something we envy here at Scots.
they should use cranbrooks new ovalAt one stage they were using Latham Park over at Coogee
it would be used properly thenthey should use cranbrooks new oval
champ, it doesn't specify wether its this year alone or the school overall. You'd think that if it just says school power rankings then it would be overall would it not?Mate it's clearly a 2024 power ranking, if it was all time I'm pretty sure Joeys would be at the top. I still agree that Shore shouldn't be in it's own catergory but they are above some GPS schools.
done his ankle, out for a while...Sawyer isn’t in starting line up this week. Anyone know why?
