Interesting concept called 'sarcasm'Hey buddy
How is this comment at all relevant in a schoolboy rugby forum? Quite frankly this information is boring and offers absolutely nothing to the conversation, but if it makes you feel better then go for your life. Also if you are a Newington old boy (sounds like you are) there is nothing about GPS schools that is middle class, the school fees are the only example I need.
Kind regards IS
arthristis and your still talking on a forum about schoolboys woweee....Not interesting or concerning at all. I get arthritis/nerve pain in the right hand and needed a break from typing. As it is, I type a lot with my left.
Does that clarify your confusion ?

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. . .Interesting stats re Shore. They are penultimate on the 1st XV tally but converse on the 2nd XV tally. Why didn’t they just move some of their 2nds players up? Why would there be such a gap in their 1sts and 2nds performance?

Old High Boy. Yes he is a very good player. Moves well, has the skills and punches well above his weight. plays 15 generally. Has a very famous rugby surname.
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.

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?DragonMan

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.Interesting post B&W about Shore - your thoughts on the gap between Joeys 1st and 2nd?
Maybe Joker can give us his opinion on this as well, as he has more Joeys rugby insight than most here
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 notScots cannot use GlenGarry, as an excuse for the lost of players. Your school's leadership made a decision back in the 1980s, to have an outdoor educational program. Live with it, or close down GlennGarry.
Shore would be closer, but I imagine more religious focusedNot exactly central but a lot of Newington boys live in Hunters Hill. Apparently it’s the closest non Catholic GPS school. I imagined Shore would be closer but apparently not.
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 18Correct 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.

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