Coach?

Lets hope we get to see more of the boys in action. But more games or not I think the team would look something like this,based on who has played so far (1 notable ommission hasn't played yet). You would have 2 fullbacks playing on the wings.
GPS Presidents XV from year 10 below it..

Damn, strong team. Good choices.

 

[formerflanker]

Shore are doing the same.

Only after they got a spray from Alan Jones last night for a decision for no sport at all for 2 weeks.
I assume his viewers took his advice and asked for their fees back.

Maybe an oversight given they were both out for injuries but you cannot go past
9. Ryan (J)
10. Antico (J)
Both were scheduled back on the paddock for Saturday’s game

Now that the season is over I suppose I should come clean.
I am a year 12 SBHS student. I have long been a follower of the forum, and, despite the fact that the presence of schoolboys is frowned upon, I have begun posting recently. I hope I have contributed to the passion for the game.
As my time playing for the chocolate and blue is over, I will retire from the forums.

Thanks for the memories.

Crockpot out.

Can’t see the point in retiring now it’s all over. Now you are eligible!

 

[The Honey Badger]

None that really count though - this is green and gold rugby - not green and gold "random sports".

There is a Rowing and a debating thread

 

[KOB1987]

So NSW Health now saying it’s not the sport itself that’s the issue, but the mingling of the parents, etc. GPS have had an ‘essential persons only’ policy from the start. Again, little wonder they are seeking an exemption. Hope they get it.

[Number 7]

A statement came out from the heads of major community sporting organisations (rugby, nrl, netball etc) saying community sport will go ahead after they met with Dr Chant and the department of health. Interestingly they set out the guidelines under which they would proceed (eg: maximum of one parent attending) and they are less strenuous than the restrictions put in place by the GPS.

Fingers crossed we may get some games in after all.

Well then it absolutely must be game on.

I would be happy to see Joey Ryan in the team as he is a great player, but I think Teddy Wilson would get picked over him at the moment. You could toss a coin for 5/8 with Poolman(K), Antico (J) and Savala (S) all wonderful ball players on their day. Antico and Savala both missed last weeks games with shoulder injuries and I think Poolman has the jump on then.

Not Fell? I’d take him over those 3 although I haven’t seen much of Poolman.

 

[The Casual Observer]

He is playing 12 for Newington, although he didn't play last week aagainst shore.

 

[Rugby Survivor]

Hearing a rumour that the AAGPS jumped early and games may be back on. A couple of schools pushed for the cancellation but some discussions with NSW Health may see the competition start either this week or next week.
Lets hope sanity prevails. Ridiculous that club rugby can still go ahead with one parent but GPS is halted with no spectators.

Yeah fair enough comment on this forum - but I did mean in the context of school sport. A lot of the boys play both.

Schoolboys are more than welcome to contribute, and I would encourage them to do so. What is frowned upon is shit-posting, which contributes nothing useful, by anyone.

So apparently the GPS Headmasters and the AAGPS have been inundated with correspondence urging them to reverse the decision. Alan Jones last night blasted the decision on Sky News (showing footage of Joeys v Newington from 2019). And I have heard of a lot of activity behind the scenes. Momentum builds pressure, just like on the rugby field...

The correspondence I receved yesterday from the school indicated that they were "strongly requesting" a review of the the state government's decision so I suspect they are seeking a clarification from the Department of Health, just as the community sports bodies did on Wednesday. Note that the sportsmaster is also chairman of AAGPS Sport so it isn't a unilateral action.
