Who selects the GPS teams?

GPS team selectors.

 

[Penriff_boy]

GPS team selectors.

Yes but who are they?

 

[Lepale]

Yes but who are they?

I think GPS coaches plus all the school coaches

 

[rugbyAU]

Anyone know the GPS coaches for this year?

 

[Rugby Survivor]

My understanding is that each school appoints a selector and they go and watch other schools games. They are obviously not 1st or 2nd XV coaches. Some schools have teachers and some have outside people who are involved in rugby.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

It's not the 1sts or 2nds coaches from any school.

Will usually be someone who has been previously involved at a high level or may be a coach of even a team like the 15A's for example. Coaching good footy, has the qualifications, interest and its good exposure for them as well.

The selector I spoke to on Saturday was from TAS. He does not coach rugby anymore but his sons Under 8 soccer team. He has been a selector for the past three years from TAS.

.....and when I selected in the early 2000's I was coaching Prep soccer.

Agree with the comments but also worth noting View already beaten Joeys ‘away’. Joeys No. 1 not a particularly intimidating venue and while always tough to win there, that is more a reflection on the opposition. Will be a cracker with plenty to play for.

Joeys far in a way the most intimidating environment.
In years gone by there were 4 oppositions with which to contend - the Joeys team, the loud partisan crowd, the referee and the time keeper.
An almighty task for any visiting team.
Referees and timekeepers have been less of an issue in recent years.....but those final 2 minutes have been stretched enormously in the past.

TIPS TURN AROUND.
Get them in quick.

I have put the AAGPS teams first, even though they are playing at a CAS school.
If you do not get them in, then the second team becomes your pick. (see below)

There are four games being played.

Fixtures at Knox Grammar School

TUESDAY 20 JUNE

3.15pm GPS White v Country Juniors
4.30pm GPS Blue v Sydney Juniors
5.45pm GPS 2nd XV v CAS 2
7.00pm GPS 1st XV v CAS 1

I will be making score updates from across all games.

GPS 1st XV by 20
GPS 2nd XV by 35
GPS Blue by 25
GPS White by 30

 

[Goosestep]

I know....big grandstands, carpet like playing surface, licensed bar opened at full time

That gets me thinking....what is the most intimidating place to play and why?

Oh Wristy....nice to see you again.
The infamous Joeys clock. Oh the history of that time piece
You would know by now the ultimate judge of time if the ref.

I think this could be closest game. Don’t know if they have got some more training in than GPS that can help combos and there are guys like Lamming who played GPS and Aus Schools last year in the side.

Look out for hooker Riley Osborn playing for Sydney very mobile great throw and awesome defence basically all you need in a hooker these days, also plays ISA 1s my Smokey for Gen blue this year, I believe he's coming off the bench tomorrow.

Quiet a few 1st/2nds Colts players in Pt 1 team (albeit some unusual positional selections in the forwards).

 

[laybronjames]

the Sydney Squads are just in alphabetical order by last name ... not sure why so many people are convinced the Sydney selectors are picking backs as forwards.

There's plenty there. Good test for both teams
