Interesting to note that considering Dempsey and Perkins are playing Presidents XV, every single boy in View 1st XV will be playing representative footy next weekend.

It's very exciting to see Grammar boy's getting their hands in the mix. It's great for the GPS teams to have such strong representation from both sides. Hoping this sparks something, for future Grammar boys. Congratulations Grammar, you deserve it, Cheers.

Couldn't agree more. Grammar used to be a force to be reckoned with within the comp. It's sad seeing their program decrease as the school shifts towards a more academic direction. I hope this trend continues and that boy aught to be extremely proud of himself.

are you trying to imply the Bassingthwaighte's selection was a fluke? bit harsh and really takes away from the effort boys are putting in when you undermine the selections.

Not at all. Been familiar with Rex's game for years. I just think this pick for a boy coming into his first year in GPS was a great spot especially given the talent of other boys familiar with the game. Rex has been the cornerstone of that Shore program and i think you're misreading this or are just trying to stir up some banter

From watching his games throughout the GPS season he has most definitely deserved a selection in the GPS 1s team, he has almost scored a try in every game and been an influential part in the Shore 1st XV

The school always had an academic direction. The school only has so many places and competition for those places is fierce. The changing demographic of Sydney has the top academic performers not necessarily having a preference for the "traditional" school sports. Couple that with competition from other sports like soccer and AFL and you can see how it has gone that way.

This is true but in the summer season they have been contenders in many sports
