hey GEO,
I agree. Jacob is always in the right place at the right time. He's definitely one of the best in the comp.
T.B,
Sad to see Charlie Cross and Sam Williams on the bench, love their game play. But I have to agree with the picks in this team. Well done @The Blin6side it's not easy to put together such a list.
Personally I would slot C. Suniula (BSHS), into the starting lineup and give H.Rylance (ACGS) a spot in the HM's, as well as J.Post (IGS). IMO Post has one of the best set of lungs in the GPS. That kid never stops running.
Look up further you'll see the grey team which includes BGS students...
Personal favourite players are either, Fraser Mcreight or Jayden Sua. Both versing each other in 2014/15. It would be fair to say Sua got the better of Mcreight especially in 2014 with the infamous 96-0 scoreline.
16 - 25 in Favour of Pink. IMO I think the Grey forwards would near dominate every scrum though.
Pitty and B. Smith will be to much for Pink. GPS Grey +5
Mate, you're asking all of the right questions, let me search for an answer. Firstly, lets inspect the forward pack from each team. It would not be easy to pack down against the Grey teams' front row. Having both Barry Smith and Lucas Clifford is practically a cheat code. Both packs have even second rows both powerful and ready to work hard. The winner of the back row has to go to the pink team to have Nasser, Picot and Roman in the back three that would be unstoppable. Now lets look at the Backs. Firstly, Grey team have both speed and size and would no doubt give it to the Pink boys. But in return the strong defense of key players like Max Blanch and Kilarney Lavender is unstoppable. To also have the strength of Walkers kicking game as well as the swiftness and creativity from George Hales. Then finally the back three on Pink is arguably dominant. We've seen how strong Sam Russel can be. We all know Treyvon is a star and Amaziah is a phenomenal rugby player, unlike anything I've seen before. I have to give it to the Grey team they've got real talent and I believe that this game would be one for the ages. But for me personally I just cannot see Grey beating this Pink Team.
This era of 2014-2017 GPS footy was the peak IMO. With names such as Lucas, Nasser, Tabuai-Fidow, Ponga, McReight, Sua, Wilson, Bullemor, and many more the GPS was churning out pro footy players like a sausage machine filling its caisng in a factory
2015/16 season was the best GPS footy ever. All you have to do is watch on Waterboy rugby video to understand where I am coming from
Nothing better mate. Witnessed 2016 Battle of the Colors, best schoolboy rugby game I've ever watched. The atmosphere and amount of people at Tenny was astonishing.
