Time for some day 2 action

Not sure about GPS white but I was told by someone in the GPS Blue team that they definitely are playing country and not SJRU.

23 would be required for a standalone team or when you don't want to risk running out of players (say if you have 2 teams), GPS instead has a larger pool of 25 selected in the GPS White team that can come and plug the gaps in the squads above if there are any injuries. It's quite smart because...

Sure, but the original post referred to the year 11 count, and while labeling View as being last is true it's deceptive, second place only has a single win more than last. View has struggled with form but are effectively with the pack and having double as many year 11s is still a significant...

Both sides having "at least 6 Year 11s", is an odd way of saying that Joey's has 6 and Riverview has 11 typically (points where they've had 12) year 11s, almost double Joeys which is a pretty big difference.

Likely more a factor of cost of living, and remember they enjoy playing there enough to choose that rather than just playing in Brisbane.

The instability with local teams is concerning, don't want to see burgeoning talent going elsewhere because of it.

Is it just me or does AAGPS only have so many representative teams to accommodate the other conferences being weaker? They couldn't even come up with distinguishing uniforms and have defaulted to just blue and white.

As a wise man once said: "pressure makes diamonds".

Knowing how Shore can be with pushing other team's buttons I was actually quite impressed with their conduct yesterday, you'll always have bad eggs who will want to be like that, but as you said the others breaking that up is a good sign in itself.

The difficulty with Grammar is that their 1s average to 3s level overall but contain players that are both a fair bit better and worse than that level. For context, there was only a 1s and 2s team there a few years ago compared to others with 10+, so I'm happy they acknowledge those players who...

Watching Shore v View yesterday it looked like View's players were going for individual highlight reels, really disappointing as a supporter to see so much individualism when you have 14 other players with you on the field. Hopefully they can sort this out over the coming weeks.

You would care if you'd ever had to wake up on the floor of their sports hall to play them at ~0 degrees and then get an 8 hour bus home.

Would tip: View by 2 Shore by 12 Newington by 5

For the most part, they're only professionally contracted due to the NRL's eagerness to develop and expand its player base, union should be doing this but they don't bother, it seems arrogant and lazy. I remember footballers and AFL players contracted through academies and teams whilst in high...

A rather gallant effort from the lads, a shame the rain dampened many bounteous opportunities presented deep within oppositional territory. It does indeed truly seem that such immeasurable downfall foreshadowed a rather unpredictable and variable encounter betwixt two a foe.

It's true there's an advantage to the home ground games and they seem to have used that time wisely and have used the time to learn how to play better as a team, it'll be interesting to see but I think them playing the games at home didn't cover up their early season issues, rather it just gave...

To be honest most of these factors can come down to the improvement in younger years, it's far harder to materialise a title winning team in year 11/12 than it is to build them up properly, you can see this even with the teams who import lacking strong team synergy as they haven't played...

At the moment I'm hoping for a classic showdown of View and Joeys for the title, would be great to see that match with the title on the line.

The 8 points could've very easily been 13 or 15 depending on the offside call (was very close), also the ranking points are really just an indicator of form given the frequency at which they're updated, going into the RWC the teams will decide the outcome, not the arbitrary ranking given...
