Heres my predictions:

1) L. Brownie (injured)
2) Jim Harding (1st XV)
3) Louis Wilcox (Golf)
4) Jackson Gresham (2nd XV)
5) Josh Bremner (15As)
6) William Allen- Burton (1st XV)
7) Stewart Scott (3rd XV)
8) Dan Williams (1st XV)
9) Hamish Cowan (1st XV)
10) Lochlan Cheung (4th XV)
11) Connor Baveystock (1st XV)
12) Thomas Waterworth (8th XV)
13) Ben Fawcett (2nd XV)
14) Justin Corbett (3rd XV)
15) Luke Prictor (1st XV)

I think that tommy waterworth should be played at 15. His ability to read the game and direct the play is unlike no other and should be pushing for high rep honours. A player you have failed to mention is young Nicholas Chang. His chop tackle and aggression around the breakdown is surely too much to miss?

SDW,

I suspect you probably know this, but just to be clear - Brisbane Grammar, Nudgee and Brisbane Boys College (BBC) are all members of the QLD GPS.

As is Brisbane State High

I was intrigued to find the following in the history of the AAGPS, written by former Shore headmaster Robert Grant.
It puts the whining and whingeing of posters on here in historical perspective:

Are there any GPS boys doing U15 Junior Gold Cup that anyone knows about ?

I did notice that when I looked that the AAGPS Athletics programme on Saturday that there was a time when Grammar won the senior division for over 20 consecutive years.

SGS last won it in 1979, TSC last won it in 1975.

I well remember that day in 1979 at the Sydney Sports Ground (where the SFS is now for you whipper snappers).
D R Taylor won the 100, 200 and 400. Pity he couldn't catch a rugby ball.
I didn't know about the 20 years: they should have refused to run against the other schools.

 

[Quick Hands]

1979 was a bit of a stellar year for Grammar:
Premiers in 1sts and 2nds cricket
Premiers in 1sts tennis
Open Champions in Athletics

Following on from HOTR victory in 1978.

In 1980 they played SIC in the final game of the rugby season for the premiership but lost.
That’s pretty much all she wrote....

Yes didn't realise that Brisbane boys high plays in gps, and unlike Sydney high has remained partially selective , and has different selection criteria

And have remained clearly competitive in things other than just "hothousing/ academics "

Now there is any idea!! Diverse selection criteria

I really think Sydney high needs a reboot.

Grrrr

Why? Some great players have come from there.

Shit... And to think that I thought schools were all about education.
Little tip, get your kid smarter and he'll probably walk into the 1st XV at Sydney Boys. Believe me it has an amazing alumni

There is some property on Scotland Island for sale. Close to his harvesting grounds for Rugby, so the kids wont get travel sickness on the bus, but the water taxis? Hmmmm

Although, their 1st XV had less success that year than other sports, they did defeat a powerful Scots 1st XV. They also had a a talented ( I think he was a fullback) player in Michael Crawford (My apologies if I got his name wrong,but its approaching 40 years). Finally, I would not be reflecting my Avatar if I didn't mention, that Newington won the Rugby with a 30-0 nil win against Scots to secure the Rugby Premiership in a near Grand Final match. Ironically, Scots won the Head of River and Newington came second in that race.

He mustn't as it would seem to be the ideal sport for him to work his "magic".

What's happened to your avatar B&W? Plenty of W, but no B.

Looks like it disappeared through no fault of myself. Can I have my avatar back, please. I suspect supporters from another GPS school are at fault.

Yours has now disappeared too. I can see mine, IS and BW from this page. There's a similar problem on other threads.

I'm on Google Chrome - I have no idea if that has anything to do with it or not.
