Need to keep in mind the majority of the league boys chose to forego GPS selection, this would have likely seen a different spread of players across the teamsDoesn't this table show that Shore are massively under-performing? based on the exhausting selection process the selectors have said they have enough good players, that are in form to be equal top. If it isn't the players, then what is the reason? Is it the coaching? Is it strategy? Is it the expensive stand that faces the wrong way?
certain.Are you certain that it is conna moving up, or are you also just assuming that?
Massivley under-performing is an exaggeration, they're coming 2nd and have the 2nd most amount of players in the GPS 1s and 2s, the Joeys and first view games were really close and not much in the New game either. It's not the coaches, since Shore brought in these coaches to the 1s their results have massively improvedDoesn't this table show that Shore are massively under-performing? based on the exhausting selection process the selectors have said they have enough good players, that are in form to be equal top.

very true. I believe the to of the table will be congested throughout all of 2025. Considering View won in the 16As I would have to say they are, alongside Joeys as the two favourites. important to note that Joeys had a lot more 16s players in opens last year and so this result is not a great representation of the strengths of the two schools in this age group.The amount of year 11s on these GPS sides makes me look forward to next year. Joey's, View and Shore are looking to have big years ahead.
As a proud old boy of the boys in cerise who is still heavily invested in their great program I'd see View and Them to be levels above the comp. Saying that the development of the shore squad with some new players is scary. However, the only advantage I see for the view lads is the fact they've played together and understand each others games more giving some Joeys boys playing opens for a bit longer. Could go either wayvery true. I believe the to of the table will be congested throughout all of 2025.

In this age group during the years leading up to 16A's, I believe Joeys were undefeated through 13's, 14's and 15's in the A team.very true.

The 2025 season will be one to remember not only for rugby but for all the GPS sports, the current year 11s are doing very well.The amount of year 11s on these GPS sides makes me look forward to next year. Joey's, View and Shore are looking to have big years ahead.
This is true I believe. however, as an old boy of St. Ignatius, I hold out hope that the boys from Lane Cove River can get it done next year.In this age group during the years leading up to 16A's, I believe Joeys were undefeated through 13's, 14's and 15's in the A team.

Up The Iggies boys.
Hyper-critical analysis in my eyes.Was tough viewing - View forwards were overpowered by the Shore front row - Tancred and Conna were missed.
View backs imploded.
Not fair to name players but it’s clear that changes are required to the starting team.
The depth of the Shore backs - in shocking conditions - reminded me of the great Joeys set ups of the early 90s.
In contrast, View were flat - kicking game was impotent - and the dropped ball from the inside backs was crippling.
the cracks were there last weekend - the dam wall burst yesterday
hyper-critical is the best way to put it. Whilst View's chances of a premiership this season are finished I think they have a good chance of causing a bit of disruption. Possibly throwing a spanner in the works for Joey's premiership run and even slowing down scots as they charge up the leaderboard.Hyper-critical analysis in my eyes.
View probably won the territory battle, having plenty of possession and opportunities inside Shore's 22. It's as simple as Shore converted these chances into points and View weren't as clinical.
Shore's forwards came to play; probably the first pack to beat View and their classy backs used that to fuel their confidence.
The dam wall hasn't burst and I would hardly call it an implosion - View only need to go back to what made them a great team; building pressure through an accurate kicking game and physical forward pack, being clinical with the opportunities they can create.
Rather than View, it would be better to focus on a stellar performance from Shore in which they restated their premiership claims.
Only a two-score game in the end, you make sound like a trouncing.
looking over these teams I find it surprising to see Cooper Green down in the 4ths?
Respect your perspective on the game and the team @Cauliflower Ear - we can agree to disagree in this instance.Hyper-critical analysis in my eyes.

Jono Bowman 1998 when they were GPS joint premiers. Any others missing?I believe that there were also the following:
Will Drabble 2008
Chris Ching 2003
Phil Waugh 1997
James Freeman 1994
Might be more to add too that list
