Incumbency vs Current Form Age old selection problem. How much weight do you put on Incumbency as opposed to a player who is in better current form ( even slightly ) than the other ? As long as the process of selection is non-biased and non-political, then you must trust the selectors. The...

I am a supporter of View as I am an old boy. However, as previously mentioned, I think View is working towards next year. I think they have played very well as a team, very fit and they have exceeded expectations so far. If they beat Scots this week, and I hope they do although it will be a...

As the old saying goes ( and there is a reason why it's true and old ): Cream rises to the top Can't see Kings getting beaten at all. Too Big, Too Strong and Too Skilled. Most teams have 1 or 2 of these attributes. Kings have all three and add to that Depth and they will be very hard to beat...

Tips : Joeys +15 Kings +25 View +5

Hi Joker When was the last time an AAGPS 1ST XV team did not have at least one Joeys player ? Sure it's been a while. Might explain why Joeys are where they are on the table. ( I know that's controversial and I'm not trying to stir up anything. I honestly think they don't have too many stand...

So Far Tipping nightmare. Hope GPS boys do something !!!

Q: What is the big deal if Gen Blue/White win ? I mean, if you are in those teams and want to try and make a name for yourself, then hogging the ball and making a big impression would be better for your prospects of higher selections than just "doing your job ". That's how most of the boys...

To the CAS supporters, First time on this thread ( regular on GPS ) You can tell me to mind my own business however : The selection of the CAS teams are very strange and having watched the trail games of CAS vs GPS schools, namely Wav, Barker and Knox, I find some selections surprising. Your...

DragonMan On your points : 1) Like Ghost says, it shows that New have very good individual players but when they come together, for whatever reason ( imo it's coaching and historical attitude of New teams)Newington teams don't gel and underperform. 4) Just because Matteo is Captain of Rugby...

Up and In I agree with you. In previous years, these injuries, even to better players, would have been covered. Letting a 24-0 lead slide does not happen to Joeys. When did they let Shore draw with them ? Letting New get away with a win at home does not happen often. And View beat them fair and...

And Ghost Where in my post do I not support the Ref ? Every team thinks that a ref may give a bad call or two. That's normal, You play on and turn it around. And vice versa, if you can snag a call or two your way, happy days. That's the game. As I say, View were beaten by a better team. Not the...

Hi Dusk If the AAGPS Headmasters and Sportsmasters agree that from now on, to have 10 rounds there needs to be a midweek game ( whatever day that may be), surely ( don't call me Surely!! HaHa showing my age ) they can allow away supporters to travel. Views was pathetic but they were not...

Dusk, I'm Neutral. Agree. Seemed Ref gave Scots a bit of a leg up in the last 20min but why were New kicking possession away when 1 try down, plenty of time left and straight to Scots 15. Very risky and cost them the try to Scost 13. No Ref calls, just dumb footy. I recall New won this fixture...

View lost to a better team. View were their own enemy. Dropped ball, ill disciplined, poor tackling and tactically out smarted and did not play their own game which has served them well. Yes, I believe they had a lag from last week but that should not happen from a champion team and...

Corrected. Thanks That's a shame but understandable. Guess that coould happen for a Thursday arvo game. What about next time a Friday arvo game and boys get let out early, especially long weekend ?

You'll find that the away schools will have arranged buses to transport probably senior boys yr11/12 to the games. View has.

Wet pitch at HH may give Joeys a slight edge only because it may slow the Kings forwards a little and handling errors could make for a closer game. I think Joeys will need more than rain from the heavens to get over Kings.

"View were lucky rather than deserved winners" Spoken like a person who can't accept losing to a better team on the day. Joeys had plenty of chances and as The Ghost said, Joeys had field position and most possesion yet your observation was that View were lucky. If and hopefully when View beat...

Masked Crusader Did I say that " View were so dominant" ? No. I did say they deserved to win yet some have said because of this and that View's win was tarnished. I don't accept that. You play the whistle and fortunately/unfortunately, correctly/incorrectly View capitalised and scored a try...
