The Chairman’s Match Preview:
The Test of the Champion: CAS vs AAGPS
When you think of famed rivalries the big ones come to mind.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona
India vs Pakistan
Los Angeles Lakers vs Celtics
Yankees vs Red Sox
perhaps even Joeys vs View
Well there is none bigger than the AAGPS taking on those reds.
Put simply, it is a whole new level.
The crowd impact is minimal. No one there cheering their heart out for you. Just pure talent.
The stars all align to impress the selectors. Making your schools First XV is one thing. Making a representative team is another.
But now I say to you,
parliament is in session. There shall be order.
The Seat Count:
AAGPS: 17
CAS: 14

"The Question is that the motion moved by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Orr) be agreed to".
"That the House has no further confidence in the AAGPS' ability to provide a working seat majority"
The opposition benches smirk. Quietly confident.
The frontbench loaded. Included but not limited to:
The Shadow Minister for Explosive Carries (Mr Kotarac)
The Shadow Minister for Lineouts (Mr Smith)
The Shadow Minister for Meters (Mr Talaileva)
The Shadow Minister for Distribution (Mr Dene)
The Shadow Minister for Flair (Mr Tarau)
The opposition have not been to the government benches since 2018. I am sure this election they are eager to prove they can govern.
They appear prepared. The Coalition of Trinity, Waverley, Barker and Knox seem unified, driven by one goal.
Win back Government.
But how?
This is no normal division. The score is the vote.
But they are not just going to waltz into office.

Put into Hansard:
"The Prime Minister and Cabinet have entered Parliament".
Following a result too tight for comfort last year, there was a leadership spill of all Parliamentary positions within the AAGPS.
Prime Minister Le Maitre retired to pursue a bigger career, and executives Craig and Wallace held onto their positions.
Elected, a fresh set of new characters, ready to inject energy into the new look Cabinet.
They include
Prime Minister Grover
The Minister for Explosive Carries (Mr Fonua)
The Minister for Lineouts (Mr Muir)
The Minister for Meters (Mr Taumopeau)
The Minister for Distribution (Mr King)
The Minister for Flair (Mr Anitela-Tsoussis)
and their secret weapon, The Minister for Conversions (Mr Grantham)
The backbenches murmur with questions. Should the Kingsmen should have been promoted to cabinet? or left out in the outer ministry?
No doubt the opposition will have serious questions to put to the Government.
But for now, Parliament is prorouged.

Who wins the majority?
The public will be bought over by a new-look, fast paced AAGPS side. With speed and flair, and a flexible forward line, the popular support shall be just too much for the CAS men who will put up a fight for the ages.
Some seat battles that will be critical (
I understand this message is long enough I will keep it short)
The Division of Scrummaging
A new candidate for the AAGPS (D. Osborne) takes on K. Daly (CAS) who lost this seat last time. If this flips red, expect at least a minority on the way.
The Division of The Breakdown
A critical battle will rage between the AAGPS candidate Mr. H. Dempsey and the ever-talented Opposition Leader J. Orr. If the opposition leader loses his seat, say goodnight nurse.
The Division of The Backfield
A relatively unknown newcomer Mr. B. Prideaux (CAS) faces up against the points machine and Minister for Conversions C. Grantham (AAGPS). Front-foot ball is both sides MO, so if either can gain good field position through the primary vote, the majority is in sight.
You be the judge. Cast your votes.
As the Chairman of the House, if this results in a tie,
I Shall Side with the AAGPS.
I do not believe this will be necessary as the electorate will say: Better Dead than Red.
AAGPS by 12 seats.
