You know i thought my school eastwood was bad at footy cause we get mercied every week before halftime untill i realised when we verse st gregs and blacktown, just about every player in the A team has a nrl contract either for penrith, tigers, parra or souths. No wonder it was 30 mins in and it was 44-0
Schoolboys is usually just a three horse race between St Greg’s, Patrician Brothers or Westfield. Sometimes you get the odd Illawarra, Hunter or Endeavour in the mix but usually it’s between those 3 schools
Should be doing everything possible to link back up with Greg’s
That’s true, these schools are specifically footy schools and sign guys just to play in their schoolboys teams a lot of the time. Westfields the last few years have been very good - beat Keebra Park a few years ago to win it
Majority of them schools just have big lads aswel which is almost everything at schoolboy level. Whenever I played those schools I always knew I had to get ready to tackle guys twice my size
Yeah that’s the issue with the age group, half of them are giants and half are still kids. Size definitely matters at that age, you see a lot of them struggle once everyone else catches up size wise though.
I was blessed with being the giant kid at footy so no issue for me ?
