GPS will play CHS afterwards as well, so it'll be an entertaining day of schoolboy rugby.

Am I correct in saying that Tejcek from Barker is in year 11, or am I completely wrong?
Please Bromance off line.We should meet, what will you be wearing?
Some interesting things to think about with such a dominant CAS victory this year.
Usually in NSW selections, the majority of the GPS 1sts side makes NSW selection in one way or another and their are normally 6-8 selections from the 2nds.
The CAS normally gets 8-10 in NSW selection as a mix from their firsts and seconds.
The GPS firsts couldn't score any points, and the GPS seconds were behind until all the reserves came on (A reason why the CAS should have a thirds trial game like GPS do with blue and white, so coaches aren't forced to give kids a run that aren't up to that level).
Will the tide turn this year with such a dominant victory, or will it be business as usual?
Will players be selected out of the blue and white trial teams over the CAS 1sts, as has consistently happened over the years?
Time will tell, but it is an interesting time to watch the effect this outcome has on NSW selections.

To confirm, NSW squad selections in 2016:
2016 NSW 1sts GPS 12 CAS 6
2016 NSW 2nds GPS 9 CAS 6
2016 TOTALS. GPS 21 CAS 12
Will Lloyd has been tearing the GPS competition a new one, his excellent speed and size and low tackles are just a scratch on the surface of what he really is. This mountain of a man has serious futures ahead of him and would not look out of place in an Australian jersey, his ability to hold onto the ball in space astounds me, coach Hargreaves has been working magic on this young lad.
Yes I have noticed Will is maturing and increasing in skill with each game. His tackling is clean, hard and bone crushing. When he has the ball in hand the awesome speed he has can get him through the smallest of gaps. I agree I think he will go a long way.
There is no doubt CAS will get a better representation into NSW this year as deserved. However can we ensure that only those players eligible to continue playing rugby in 2018 get selected.
No point in trying to develop players for future rugby careers if they will be leaving our code in 2018.
