    James O'Connor misses flight

    Just went through the process of booking a flight from Perth to Bali on Air Asia. For the princely sum of $13 I was able to reserve an emergency exit seat. Took me less than 5 minutes.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Ok - so if the Scots boys don't get a game they can't catch the selectors' eyes - hence will miss out on GPS/CIS etc teams. This would be unfortunate as the boys have done nothing wrong - the school is the guilty party.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    You forgot to add "the Emperor is not wearing any clothes". Very interesting the seeming lack of basic skills on display from some of our supposed top players/athletes. If anything good is to come out of the Scots machine hopefully it will be players that possess the necessary skills for their...

    Shute Shield 2013

    I thought it was 85 or 86 when the big boys played their own comp - obviously the name would be on the shield.

    Shute Shield 2013

    Predictions: Uni in 3rds and 4ths, Eastwood in 2nds 1sts - toss the coin but feel Eastwood has better form - depends on which Soup players turn up (Foley especially).

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    I think IS has summed it up best - very few children end up professionals. My club (one of the largest in Sydney) has not produced a Super player for 16 years - hundreds of First XV boys, maybe 10-20 SS 1sts players. Kids should be allowed to play with their neighbourhood friends and be part of...

    TSC swimming teams look to be organic given results in last 10 years, which is surprising as it is should be the easiest sport to burgle, and they have so many peninsula boys at the school - maybe their training hours prohibit long commutes.

    GPS Sports Ranking (2013)

    Obviously not a debater given inability to comprehend the issue.

    NSW AAGPS Rugby 2013

    IS, you are being very cryptic and I am thinking you may know more than you profess. Let me get this right - the previous 12 is now 9, leaving the U15 still at 12?

    Only during the rugby season - wouldn't want anything to interrupt the rowing programme.

    WTF, you are totally off track - poaching from other schools??? Ok, let me see, where to start. SGS won in 2011. Shore's 1st VIII (Year commenced senior school and their Yr 8 crew): Bow Yr 7 (1st Quad) 2 Yr 7 (3rd Quad) 3 Yr 7 (3rd Quad) 4 Yr 7 (1st Quad) 5 Yr 7 (5th Quad) 6 Yr 7 (4th Quad) 7...

    Shute Shield 2013

    Half agree - only people who are enrolled at Syd Uni should be are given a start, which could knock out a surprisingly high number (nb living at St Andrews College doesn't count). Once there they can stay as long as they like. Wouldn't be too many players over 21 under your scheme.

    Schoolboy Rugby Violence

    Hmm - you have an interesting definition of nice. Excerpts from a post on the GPS thread: "Throughout the course of the game, the number 10 from Newington was incredibly aggressive - he consistently screamed at the opposition in an unnecessarily aggressive way, abused the referees, and even...
