What were the other 40,000 miserable pricks doing at the time?

I thought I made my point. If there are no restrictions,and you don't really need to be a genuine product of the School,then why should there be an age limit? Where does it end? Actually it might make more sense for a School to field a side of 26 yo,old boys,than a team of mercenaries who just...

School sport is supposed to be the best of ours against the best of yours. Not the best we could recruit. If that's the way it is,why have an age limit? They have all lost the plot. I doubt any Shute Shield teams train as often,on a weekly basis as many GPS teams. That's just wrong.

It's great for kids from the bush who want to be semi pro athletes,so let's not bother about anything else? Its OK for kids who go to say Shore, to turn up and play, and get physically bashed by basically,by New, who have assembled kids from all around Sydney for that specific purpose? Sport...

So of the 5 mentioned,4 actually played in colts 2's? That was pretty much his point I thought. The fact that Norths think they have some one better to play in the 1's doesn't detract from the fact that a Handful of Schoolboy stars from 2013 was playing against them in colts 2's.

You forgot irrespective of his performance. He has sacked plenty of people that did their jobs better than he did his.

Too much time in the hypoxic chamber and not enough running with a Rugby ball for the lower teams?

I think the bosses son is the best 9. I'm keen to see how Burton goes at this level. Who is the back up 15?

Chatswood oval pies are pretty good! Mourning the demise of "the shore man" It was fucking $8, but it was excellent!

And they have so much faith in their program that they supplement their organic teams with mercenaries. Why? Maybe their recruiting program is more effective than their Rugby program?

There are 40,000 better seats at Alliance than the best seat in the house at ANZ. Just saying....

No need to waste any bait,when discussing the hubris surrounding GPS selections, with me big arse. I'll just jump straight into the boat. I would love to see an analysis of NSW Schoolboys, segregated by associations to understand the % of players that go on to Shute Shield level or above. I...

5 rep teams for a 6 team comp? How is this phenomenal growth manifested? Last year 2 sides were a grade above the other 4 Schools. This year, there were 3 lop sided games in the first round.

That says as much about the selection process as it does depth.

Stewart is just as well credentialed as Horwitz and a year older. He was an Oz Schoolboy for 2 years,and played 1st grade in a stronger club in his first year out of School. He can play a more direct game than Horwitz,which is probably what you need in an arm wrestle.

That's a good effort. As was your 1's team. They are punching above their weight as well. How are you guys with depth/ injury cover? It's about that time of the year,when clubs start battling with numbers.

Almost literally! When you add in bench players for the white & blue teams,together the 2's. There is a very small % of Players in the GPS 1's comp that will not get a jersey.

If you could bet on individual match ups,you would be getting long odds backing o'sullivan. He will have his hands full.

I read they played him at 12? Not that it matters,he fucked off for the cash as soon as he got home.

Crawford did not set the world alight in the Next Gen series of games,and if you were within 100 metres from the sheds after one game you would have heard the unflattering critique of his game. I think it speaks volumes that he is using 2 centres on the wing,in preference to these 2 back three...
