Anyone possibly know the timestamp of the mikensi hit?

21st minute on the clock, if you're watching on streamer, it should be around 33rd minute on the video.

So true, but it's becoming a joke. Scots crowd weren't even allowed to do the "hey hey hey, goodbye" after Shore got given a card. and then there is Kings doing the "... are wankers" and "what do we think of ....? shit!"

We also couldn't even run a little closer to the touch line when the 1s and 2s were celebrating the win, we just had to celebrate 5 metres away, it was like social distancing. Shore couldn't even storm the field when they won their first championship in like 56 years, what a joke.

I'm all for respect between the greatest schools in the southern hemisphere, but there is a line, and singing goodbye or storming the field is not across that. I believe that swearing in chants aimed towards the other school, or booing or disrupting conversions, is across that line.

Teachers need to be given a blanket rule across all schools, as do the boys, so they know what's right and wrong.

Any opinions?

100% You’re a wise man with wise words Rob.

Back in my day of 79', I was signed for 12 beers and two ciggies. How much do we reckon this would be now?

Hahahahaha. Are you serious or joking around? Genuine question. This is a GPS forum strictly for talk about GPS schools. If you want talk on Pius please make way to the ISA forum.

Gumnut out.

Does the GPS 1 team take an extended squad for their game? or do GPS 2 players just reserve?

 

[FruitBatEnthusiast]

Rumors circulating of Lachlan Mackay-Sim slotting straight into the back row for New. A step up, wondering if he's up to the task.

The 2nd XV will reserve.

It will be very interesting to see who plays and who doesn't... With many league teams asking their players to opt out of representative rugby union games, especially with not being able to play past GPS with their contracts.

Bassingthwaighte (Roosters)
Makasini (Tigers)
Large (Manly)
Grantham (Sharks)
Callaghan (Bulldogs)

The back line could look significantly different.

Heard he is a brick wall in defence, would be a great addition.

 

[Mule Backup]

I believe a bench gets for the 1s gets selected filled of GPS 2s players. So GPS 2 players reserve.

Gumnut out.

Cheers, GumNUT, you are always a great helping hand on this forum.

Completely agree, Gum Nut; we are all here for the same reason: our love of the game rugby.

Reid Mcleery the 2nd row will make his AAGPS 1st XV debut for Newington this weekend. Can't wait to see him rip this weekend. He's truly earnt this call-up, and I'm sure he will deliver.
