I think it's more about how hard it is to choose the right type of player at a younger age. This is much harder as there is always gone be those massive boys in younger years who stop growing and suddenly the rest of the pack catches up. Joseph Sua'ali'i for example was playing kings 1sts at 14...

@Joker Tips for this Friday GPS 1s +15 GPS 2s +5 GPS BLUE +8 CCC +3

5 In total i believe Charlie Hicks Xavier Ryan Henry Troy Angus Littler Brynn Whittaker

Saturday 29th June - St Gregs Campbelltown. Not 100% sure on time though -John

Found this clip of the 1984 Joey's first XV in the prime of the golden age of GPS glory. Lucky enough to know some of the fellas in this squad very well Mark Malloy and Paul Tonkin. Great time to be a Joeys schoolboy! -John

@Joker Wanted to query you on this discussion I had with my boys. Whats been the biggest change in GPS rugby with how it's played? Personally think it's become more of a backs game relying more on speed and technical skill rather then the physical forwards game i played back yonder year. Excited...

Taking this post as a mick take which I personally think should receive the BANHAMMER my actual list would look lie 1. G.Tancred 2.H.Mcgrath (Dont get this pressure washer joke) 3. D.Osbourne (Captain) 4. T.Tancred 5. R.Teng or W.Spora 6. I.Perkins 7.H.Dempsey 8.C.Conna 9.G.Grover 10. F. Garling...

@Joker You'd probably have the best opinion on this? I'm sure you played against some strong grammar squads. -John

Hoping for the same Gus. As I mentioned earlier and I'm sure you're aware they posed a much bigger threat within the 50s and 60s and were still competitive into the 2000s. My father played against their 1967 premiership squad so I'm hoping to see a turn around of their program.

Just checked revised lists Grammar Boys in WHITE GPS 4. Oliver Dudley-Smith 16. Matthew Kernohan 20. Cooper Coe 23 Will Powell

Whos the other one?

Hugh Mcgrath is my clear cut choice for the 2. That kids just built different -John

Anderson on the wing is a joke. The build on that boy demands some exposure to the rucks. Could be a key player in the forwards. Don't think you should be individually using photos either mate -John

Not at all. Been familiar with Rex's game for years. I just think this pick for a boy coming into his first year in GPS was a great spot especially given the talent of other boys familiar with the game. Rex has been the cornerstone of that Shore program and i think you're misreading this or are...

Might need the next lotto numbers off you mate! -John

Couldn't agree more. Grammar used to be a force to be reckoned with within the comp. It's sad seeing their program decrease as the school shifts towards a more academic direction. I hope this trend continues and that boy aught to be extremely proud of himself.

I know you've probally mentioned it but who are you back @Srgnt Short Ball for next year. Try to hold back any bias because me personally i can't separate myself from Joeys haha -John

noticed @Joker has been a bit inactive you all good mate? To back you up met Angus Grover this weekend lovely fella as you said. Thought he was an absolute great bloke and a stud of the game backed up by his performance. Hope you're recovering well mate -John

Who do we think are some snubs from this year's squads though is my query? Personally, William Hodge from View throws straight as an arrow! Understand he's only a few games into his 1s career but still see him as a great talent. The Swamp seems in safe hands! But they'll never climb the hill if...

As a proud old boy of the boys in cerise who is still heavily invested in their great program I'd see View and Them to be levels above the comp. Saying that the development of the shore squad with some new players is scary. However, the only advantage I see for the view lads is the fact they've...
