Hodge (I)?
Found this little gem I was working on many years ago when banter reigned supreme and a sense of fun prevailed plus serious debate
For example.....@Balmain Subbies, who is the recipient of the Graeme Dedrick orchestral triangle bursary this year?
Teasing, slightly tongue in cheek but WE NEVER stepped over the line (Well I did, plenty of times till I learned where the cliff edge was)
With this in mind I used create content for a gentle tease and a laugh.
Here is one I never published.
Chef de Joker ultimate guide to the cakes of the AAGPS.
Desserts that sum up schools the best. (warning this humour)
Riverview- The Genoise Sponge Cake
Genoise is a light and fluffy sponge cake, named after the city of Genoa, Italy. It's known for its delicate, foam-like texture and is often used as a base for various bakes, including madeleines and ladyfingers. It's made with eggs, sugar, flour and butter.
Shore School- Raffaele Ronca's cheesecake
Raffaele Ronca's $5,000 cheesecake is the most expensive in the world. It contains cheese from water buffalo, 200-year-old cognac and white truffles from Alba, Italy. The crust is made from biscotti and the chef's own chocolate and hazelnut spread.
Scots College- Triple Belgium Chocolate with Chocolate Ganache cake
The frosting and filling of this cake, including the drip, is made with only two ingredients: dark chocolate and heavy cream! This cake is the ultimate chocolate cake since it's full of chocolate flavour from the Dutch cocoa powder in the cake, and plenty of chocolate ganache that is used as filling, and frosting.
Newington- Faikakai ngou'a dumplings
Faikakai Ngoua (ngo-ah) is another type of Faikakai. It is made from kumala (sweet potato) or talo (taro) leaves cooked with wheat or manioke (cassava) flour. Keke isite These are fried dough balls made from sugar, flour, water and coconut milk. They are usually eaten without any accompaniments.
Kings School- Battenburg Cake
The cake was created as a wedding gift for Prince Louis of Battenberg and Princess Victoria (granddaughter of Queen Victoria) and paid tribute to England's newest royal family member by using his last name as the title of the confection. A classic Battenberg cake is made with yellow and pink cake in a checkered pattern. It is said that these four blocks represent the four princes of Battenberg.
St Joseph's College- Australian Seed cake
Damper, also known as bush bread or seedcake, is a European term that refers to bread made by Australian Aborigines for many thousands of years. Damper is made by crushing a variety of native seeds, and sometimes nuts and roots, into a dough and then baking the dough in the coals of a fire.

Could be wrong, but did you mean Shore instead of Scots in the middle column towards the bottom half.
Yes. Will correct.

Could not agree more @beached whale (Alex the brick thorp) at the fullback role is the epitome of the class this GPS team needs.

Greer will be captain. Thiel will be the other 2R. Brial 6, Logan 7, Fonua 8. Sorry Le Mate.

Fonua over taumoepeau?

Actually, I suspect Joeys would. Last years version almost beat them both rounds. This years version is superior, particularly in terms of being a team.

It’s a close run thing. Kings got up vs Joeys. Backrow is tough…. I can think of several 2nd XV players in the backrow who could compete.
FastNFurious
Alfred Walker (16)
Perhaps, but perhaps not. Form is form.
You do realize gps selectors do take in name not all about form.
FastNFurious
Alfred Walker (16)
Form is form, 6 games is beyond enough. Some peak early, some peak years after they leave school.

Perhaps but probably less than NSW do.
The Messanger
Frank Row (1)
Top 5, but I would argue that he should be a 1st XV GPS second rower or 8.
Yes it was fun, but there was something deeper there for this member.
Myself, I grew up on seedcake and my mothers extra special carrot cake with lemon icing. She would bake one and then post to Joeys wrapped in wax paper inside an old biscuit tin. Every time I see this cake my mind takes me back to how I felt the love of my mother in every bite, plus the sight of a line of mates who all wanted a piece. My mother was a great baker and many friends still talk about it. Country mothers had to be.
