When talking about the Presidents A and B is that the White and Blue teams or are they something entirely differrent ?

Because the comp hasn't started yet. This weekend is the first round of the 3rds competition.

Some interesting rugby, good defense for most of the game, the worst thing was the commentary, apart from the legend Gordon Bray, the ex players should never ever commentate on a game again

You could do alot worse than have Byron Blaik in 6 or 7 from New in the GPS U16s. I saw him play 2nds in the trials and he did very well. Dropped back to the U16s and played in the Bs because the 16As coach would not change his team. With all respect to the 16As loose forwards he is a fair bit...

Thanks, from the once or twice I saw them last year, they lacked size but showed a plenty of ticker. I think they will do better than most people think, well hopefully except for this weekend :)

This notion about Rugby (or professional sport) being a career path and affecting the choice of school is an interesting one. Its very true that parents choose a school thinking its going to help their kid be a professional RU or RL player. But the kicker is the percentage of kids that manage...

I think it could have been, thanks Braveheart

Especially considering Matt didn't play a lot of the game due to being knocked out

Talking about past players I remember watching in 2010 I think (maybe 2009) Cranbrook and the fullback was extremely impressive. I have no idea of his name but his organisation and communication were very impressive

The New v Joeys game, as mentioned, was not great, but enjoyable. The back's structure from both teams was missing to a certain extent. Both teams made changes throughout the game and I do agree that Joeys seemed to be more dominant in the earlier parts of the game. The goal kicking from...

I think its not that cut and dry, he was def no standout against Cranbrook and the reason he moved from 10 to 12 was he doesn't pass. Mind you put him in a better environment and you will see a 10x better player that he is in that Waverley rabble

How many of the Shore 1st XV are returning from last year. They showed some interesting signs last year and impressed with the ticker they showed against some bigger sides.

To me Waverley's problems are not about a lack of ability as much as a lack of structure. For a good portion of the game Waverley was able to scramble in defense and hold the Cranbrook boys. But without structure the Waverley team tired and Cranbrook came home with a wet sail. I have no...

Then his parents need a kick up the backside if he is going anywhere near weights as a yr 7 student.

Apologies if it was meant RL, I took the original post as Rugby Union. Lam and Tyrone were picked in the Australian U15 RL last year, although I don't think that team actually played a game.

I have seen a little bit of the New Opens this year and I agree with alot of what you have said GPSRow. The interesting thing is the effect the returning athletes will have. I think there are more than a couple with he "golden boy" tags that may be starting the first or seconds at the expense of...

and the rest. at least another 3 to 5, including Vuni an Meile their pack was good and although given plenty of assistance matched a 2nd/3rd string New pack. But it was the Knox backs that made New look ordinary

no lofty standards, just expect better rugby from those boys. Sorry if I stirred up the chip that lives on your shoulder

Newington were terrible, yes it was the first game and they had not that many first XV playing, but it was just not good enough. Knox much sharper and consistent.But typically the refereeing in the firsts was disgrace it was embarassing (the rest of the games were fine) The thirds was the most...

Not sure of the score at the end of the New v Knox game but New were terrible. While they did have a lot of players out and it was the first game it was not good enough for a GPS School. The only thing worse was the refereeing, it was disgraceful. Which was a shame as the rest of the day had...
