Playing reserve grade for the Sea Eagles

The die has indeed been cast.

But it does mean that the Crown lacks the evidence to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt - which equates to innocence under our pesky system of justice.

At this stage he's been found guilty of nothing, but we live in the age of outrage where the media pick and choose who is "really guilty" and thus free to be pilloried from dawn to dusk while other alleged offenders are portrayed as "victims of society" who bear no blame for any offence or...

They haven't yet crossed the threshold though as our friends from Northbridge have. Clearly they have no experience in these matters - advertising in the newspaper for talent no less. The ad itself is a breach of the code as it clearly elevates those with sporting talent above those poor souls...

Geography was never my strong point, but as IS was referring to SYDNEY GPS schools, I hadn't factored TAS into my thinking. Maybe Armidale is now part of Greater Sydney?

Grammar now being the only one.

They've also swapped the order around. Last year the NZ leg was before the Aussie leg, which may have provided some pre tournament publicity. I'm not sure that having the tournament on the Australia Day long weekend will be as successful as the February dates. Plenty of people will be away...

You couldn't kill this thread with an axe.

A lot has changed since this post though. The codes now realise that if they don't support the knock down/rebuild they'll be left in an obsolete stadium which fails basic OH&S requirements.

Perhaps that really what the 82% really do expect, particularly as 82% of any year group cannot mathematically get into the firsts in any sport offered. As someone who replied to the survey, it's how I read the question anyway.

Don't give Dr L any ideas

The 2017 and 2018 Year 12 cohorts haven't been the most successful in most sports since they started in Year 7. The 2017 15s and 16s age groups were quite strong and this looks good for the years beyond. the 2017 14s are weak in most sports, while the 2017 13s age group have barely lost a game...

Indeed B&W> I did observe on the GPS 2017 thread that Shore 15As refused to play Newington at Shore in the GPS round, apparently because New bet them by 50 in the trial and safety issues were raised. I did raise a chuckle when on the day I noticed that Shore 15As played a game against Cranbrook...

Average rugby player at best I hear. Once they're on the recruiting bandwagon, schools tend to scoop in talent regardless of a particular need. I'm waiting for the squeals when young a Hamish or Nicholas gets bumped from a crew or the 1st XV for one of the great unwashed.

See my most recent post on this thread. (smiley emoticon not available)

I hear that a very good rower and a very good rugby 2nd row/backrow are leaving St Augs to commence in Year 11 at Shore next year. Apparently neither have ever been on the legendary Shore waiting list. Also unlikely that either have won an academic scholarship, and neither play a musical...

Excellent result. Any boy who can combine high level sport and high academic achievement should be lauded.

Well done RA for getting this going. Wamberal, if you are monitoring this thread, I am giving the ARU/RA a compliment. Becasue the deserve it, not out of misplaced devotion. Interesting that they are running 5 teams. (I would have inserted the winking emoticon here but it doesn't work)
