arthristis and your still talking on a forum about schoolboys woweee....
Hi All
Thanks for posting the 16's Presidents teams Joker
Interesting read. Selected by, I assume, people that have watched, coached and played rugby ( they don't get it right all the time however better creds than the people on this forum ) the team spreads are :
16'A team : S 7, N 5, E 5, J 3, K 2, I 1
16'B team : N 6, K 6, J 5, S 3 E 1, I 1
Please corect me if these figures are wrong.
Now, not to get too stupid with stuff, I will assume being selected in the A team is twice as good as in the B team. Adding the figures
S 17, N 16, E 11, J 11, K 10, I 3
New have 11 players selected, S 10, J 8, K 8, E 6, I 2
As Stephenmoorebeers stated, he'll put his house on the Scots v New 16's game next time around. After these selections suggest, he must have a few to give away.
Let the excuses/debate begin

I actually once asked Neville Emery (sports master Shore for decades) why shore goes so well in the 2nds and not in the firsts in the year I attended. . . He told me that's it's always been the way. The gap between shore first and seconds is not as great as between other schools firsts and seconds. . .

Having just looked at the GPS Presidents XV team, I see what you mean re: pedigree..

Thought everyone was raving about this Finlay Bartlett in Scots 1sts, how did he end up in U16B President’s XV? Btw is it possible to be selected in both GPS 1s and President XV?

F.Barnett played in Scots 2nds on the weekend. He played quite well. Strong runner of the ball and the contest between the New 13 ( selected in Pres 16As team ) and him was great. Both boys obviously will be around for Opens next year. Again, tough calls need to be made.
I don't know the answer to your next question but I assume it's one or the other.

To fact check everyone, the president teams have been picked by best starting team in pres A then 2nd best starting lineup in pres B, then 3rd best players on pres A bench and 4th in pres B bench to even out the teams.
The pres b starting front row should be the pres A starting front row without a doubt. I think the pres A backline could possibly even be better if Casey was moved onto the wing and watts or lua moved into the centres both dominant in their own right and personally I highly rate them above bartlet.
Overall solid squads picked, think some players were unlucky to miss out on selections in the squads. No doubt will see these players reach a new level when playing against each-other next term playing against boys who took their position in this ‘rep side’.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think Bartlett played in the forwards at the State Champs (back 5 positions), interesting that Scots (and therefore GPS) play him on the wing. What is his best position?

I don't think this idea makes much sense, for Shore to have a closer gap between 1st and 2nd XV than other schools you would need to assume they have greater depth than other schools, in recent years that would be a stretch of an assumption to make. Perhaps they just aren't good at picking the best team, perhaps other factors of a political nature come into play, IDK.
Joeys will often have a number of players that are in close competition between 1's and 2's and there are often players in the 2's that would make most other schools 1's. There was a 10 during my time who who played in the 2's who was often refereed to as the best 10 to never play 1's... a mouthful I know but I think the statement was probably true. Many years later he was given a coveted 1's jersey by the player who kept him out.

Again, I'm not complaining about Glengarry, I think it's one of the things that makes Scots a great school, but the 15A's and B's score are not
at all an accurate representation of the year groups actual talent. It's not unseen of for scots
to win every 14s game and then lose most 15's game because half of their age group is gone. Because of Glengarry, The a's become a mix of A's and B's, and the B's become a mix of C's D's and E's (Usually). I'm not complaining or denying that the Newington 15s are good, i'm just telling people why the Scots 15s are usually weak, because some people don't know.

Shore would be closer, but I imagine more religious focused

I think the reason for this is because in State champs he's with 15 and 16 year olds so he's quite large, but in Opens he's with 17 and 18
year olds so he's typically the size of a back. He's also very fast.

Unfortunately leo jaques, one of the best year 10's isn't playing because of an injury.
