    I don't know re SJC, QH. I have only stories. Its a bit like last time when it was alleged that the the head of Shore forced TAS out on the grounds of a bye, travel and the random element it introduced. Then TAS had entered the full comp. I haven't proved this. Like you, I am sad Newington is...

    NSW AAGPS 2017

    I should write up my notes on the history of rugby at TAS in the fifties and sixties. It provides a microcosm of rugby's decline. It is hard now to believe that TAS might win against Sydney schools and yet be defeated in local comp by High, De la, ATC or UNE seconds. Hard to believe that TAS...

    NSW AAGPS 2017

    I don't have access to full team details at TAS, QH. In Rugby, the training schedules list two each in open, 16,15, 14, and 13s. If that's the full list, then numbers appear well down from last year. There may be numbers for more teams but training as squads. Trawling through the past rugby...

    This is really off topic. I was asked about someone who had been at TAS and went to past copies of the Armidalian to check. I ended up sidetracked, trawling through all the rugby reports from the fifties and sixties. I quote from 1958: "On April 19 the 1st XV played its first G.P.S. Match...

    Thanks, BM on behalf of both me and TAS! I'm hoping Grammar will improve coordination as a result of the games. Possible excluding Joeys, no team should take them for granted.

    With resumption of normal transmission, I thought that I should accept Crackerjack’s implied invitation to comment on the first round of the GPS thirds competition. The extended trials across CAS and ISA schools sometimes played in multiple combinations of schools and levels makes for a complex...

    You won't get a fight from this little possum on that suggestion, QH.

    NSW AAGPS 2017

    I don't pretend to understand all this, but based on discussion here there appear to be two sets of issues that overlap. The first are the changes to the firsts/seconds comp with shortening plus more trials against CAS in particular but also ISA. We have seen how this has caused the forum...

    NSW AAGPS 2017

    Thank you bigmac! :) Appreciated. I put the first and then the second list up to spark discussion. So fatboysunited is perfectly entitled to say that I flop and to nail his colours to the Shore mast. I would love to see Shore being competitive this year in the thirds, but the High defeat on the...

    I have yet to see them play, IS, but isn't that actually a positive comment? If the structure is there the base is there. Improved instinct comes from match practice, from coping with the new.

    :) It was a very good team! It was quite depressing actually if you were not from Joeys!

    NSW AAGPS 2017

    Memory is a real problem, for me at least, bigmac! I was about to agree with you. but looking at the results in 2015. Joey's won the seconds and thirds, but New/Scots won the firsts. Since the thirds comp started, no school has won all three grades. If we focus on just the top two ignoring the...

    Thanks all for the feedback on the thirds. First, a response to bigmac who considered that Joeys would dominate "as usual." Since the official thirds comp began, Joeys has one twice, TAS twice, while Scots,Grammar and TAS have a shared premiership. I agree with the general sentiment that its...
