Feel free to correct me but do it by DM as I don’t name kids in any posts as a rule. BTW I am very familiar with the current program and cohort and wouldn’t comment otherwise.

Nope again. The new Rugby program has nothing to do with recruitment. They are trying to instil a better culture and attitude into the boys, along with an improved skills and conditioning program and a shared game structure. Again, I can assure you there isn’t one new kid in the GPS rugby squad...

I can't quite tell if you are trolling, but I can 100% guarantee you there is no recruitment in Shore rowing. From last years opens crews there was only one "new" kid who enetered the school after year 7. He rowed in a lower four and his name had been on the school waiting list from birth...

I watched both the Barker and Knox games against Shore and Barker were the more impressive side of the two. While the Barker score was a bit illusory (Shore played with 14 players for over 50 minutes), Barker exploited space very cleverly and had some very dynamic runners. Barker had some...

Having seen Knox, Barker, Trinity and Aloys play Shore so far this year and having seen the Waverley/Kings game replay, I would probably go with the following: 1) Waverley 2) Barker 3) Knox 4) Cranbrook 5) Trinity 6) Aloys Cranbrook being the wildcard as I have no idea about them given they...

I dont think there will be. I didn't see any cameras at the ground. The Wallabies were very good. Really liked the structure they played with and they looked very organised. Both locks were huge but really mobile and impactful. The #10 is a very very good player making good decisions to...

Spot on. All the Super Teams and the Wallabies are clients of Catapult Sports who supply the worlds leading player data analytics to Rugby, EPL, NFL, etc teams. Included in their modules are load management systems. The analytics and athlete management technology came out of the AIS to...

It's probably a good time to remind people of the AAGPS Code of practice as to why we are even having this debate at all (http://aagps.nsw.edu.au/about/code-of-practice/). For all of those who say that "Schoolboy sport is professional" and arguing "scholarships improve the quality of the...

No scholarships for sport at Shore. 0%. My son has been in that boat shed 5 years and he can guarantee you it doesn’t happen and hasn’t happened. Nor does it happen for any sport and the council is currently strongly against it in spite of some rugby parent agitation. There are 42 scholarships...

If I was the Randwick coach I would have been very happy watching Uni and Gordon belt the absolute c**p out of each other yesterday. Top game and both teams defence was outstanding.

I see you don’t mention the 16A’s or the Opens in trying to make your point.....

2016 soccer was an anomaly. 2017 soccer was awful. 2018 soccer was pretty average. Still way less students playing soccer than rugby.

Anyone know where Paddy Ryan is off to next year? No mention on other news services.

I’d rate the centres they have picked ahead of him more highly as well as Koula who plays centre for New but has been picked at 11 for Presidents A’s. There are a lot of very good centres in this age group; the Joeys centres were deadly with ball in hand on the weekend and Austin (picked at 14...

Shore 16A’s have lost all games except vs Trinity. They played Waverley x 2, Barker, Knox, Kings and Joeys. In the games they lost, they were competitive for good stretches but still had 30-40 pts put on them each game. Joeys probably the most impressive team so far but Kings outside backs...

Trinity beating Shore by 3 isn’t a good result. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shore 16B won 55-12 Shore 16A won 29-14 Both vs Trinity Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, we have seen these stats. There have been some great initiatives implemented this year with the appointment of MacQueen, appointment of year group co-ordinators, coach-the-coaches programs etc. my son was even reading the school playbook last night before bed which hasn’t happened...

Not true. There are rowers playing rugby this year. Last year there weren’t. There is no edict that they can’t. Last years head boy went from 2nd viii to 1st XV. Depends on the kid but there is no policy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
