    Very early days at Hunters Hill. A loss to a good Marist Canberra side 3 tries to 2 and a loss by a conversion against TSS shouldn't be sounding the alarm bells just yet. Selectors seem to be giving a squad of 30 boys a fair opportunity to impress. Scrum was strong against Marist Canberra (...

    SDW I too think that Waverley V Joeys will be a cracker 13 May at Hunters Hill. Hopefully there will be a good crowd there. Another one to watch will be Waverley V Kings on 29 April at Parramatta. Thanks sidesteppa for the footage, you are very generous with your time. Whitelinefever, from...

    I would strongly encourage Waverley supporters to get out and see Wednesdays game against TSS. Having seen the game against Joeys yesterday, it will be a great barometer for Waverley as to their pre-season form and the year ahead.

    I am pretty sure he played yesterday at outside centre. If it was him he was strong in attack and punishing in defence. A few more still in team rehab.

    TSS 12 Joeys 10. 2 tries all TSS have a large forward pack and backs aren't small either! Will be interesting to see how they go against Waverley on Wednesday. Would be worth going out to see that game. Improved performance by Joeys. Credit to the joeys coaching team treating the match...

    Following is a highlights package of Saturdays game Joeys V Marist. Well played Marist Canberra. Joeys scrum was a positive with a number of tight heads on the day. No doubt lots to work on but early days. Congrats to St Gregs who defeated Joeys 2nd XV 5 nil. I will be interested to...

    Joeys play The Southport School (QLD) at 4 pm on Joeys #1 if anyone didn't get enough Rugby over the weekend.

    Love it or hate it, it is what it is! As to whether it is "OTT" RugbyDimin8r101, I think you need to change your mindset. We have a 12 round "competition" of which the first 7 rounds incorporate GPS and CAS, then the final 5 rounds are intra association to crown their respective association...

    Geez no pressure on the kid! How about we start by seeing how he goes seeking selection for View 1sts in year 10 first. That in itself would be a tremendous achievement.

    Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2017

    Quite extraordinary to see Matraville High had 5 players selected in Australian Schoolboys that year. With the Ellas and the depth of talent, that must have been a special squad. A coaches dream! Unsurprisingly Matraville also won the Waratah Shield that year. NSW II beat NSW I in the...

    NSW AAGPS 2017

    Riverview tend to blood their younger talent into Opens in U16s so in my opinion they weaken off in the U16s comp. Newington seem to have an influx of talented players in yr 10..... As to whether that belongs on another thread or not? as my cricket coach advised "let the ball go outside the...

    That's actually not correct. There were 2 players who were shadow players for the NSW Opens squad. They were eligible for selection in NSW U16s schools and as would be expected were selected in the squad. Your number 14 may be very quick but he has weaknesses in his game that he should be...

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    Perhaps park this discussion until teams are selected. On that list posted there are a number of "? or bracketed players". Not sure how the mods would view "naming names". But if you are looking to "out" particular schools I think it may become fairly obvious.

    School sporting scholarships/recruitment

    GPS Observer Isnt this the exact point and the cause of the angst. Gauging the mood of these forums it would appear that the problem is far worse in QLD. For AAGPS, if you don't enforce your code, why bother having it!

    Just read Vegas' assessment of the QLD GPS and the impact of scholarships on school culture. I couldn't agree more. Love his parting sentence! Vegas' post is well worth a read. I genuinely wonder if AAGPS have the mettle to enforce their own policies on sporting scholarships.
