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

GPS 1s +12With so many rep games I have decided to focus on four games this coming Friday.
Last year the GPS 3rds and 4ths were upset in their games.
The Sydney team in particular contained a number of ex-AAGPS boys who were playing 1st Colts and we under the age of 19.
Here it is for this week.
GET THEM IN EARLY please.

Very hard to expect the wingers and Hartman to play a pivotal role in a game underneath biblical rain. Watching on the streamer, I felt Shore's wingers/outside backs also rarely touched the ball in phase play.Respect your perspective on the game and the team @Cauliflower Ear - we can agree to disagree in this instance.
There were high hopes for this View team, especially after starting the season so well.
Shore were super impressive yesterday - taking the points man for man in most instances.
There’s huge potential in that View team - would love to see the ball to Hartman in space and to see the wingers touch the ball.
Midfield bombs inside your own half and kicks to the open side with weapons like Callaghan returning it (Palmisani last week) has not and will not yield results.
I hope they turn it around after the break and that they enjoy their rugby

Very hard to expect this team to play the same style as the 2023 group.Very hard to expect the wingers and Hartman to play a pivotal role in a game underneath biblical rain. Watching on the streamer, I felt Shore's wingers/outside backs also rarely touched the ball in phase play.
Midfield bombs with aggressive chasers was the central blueprint for the highly successful 2023 View team, that only lost to a generational Kings team.
Yesterday's result was a testament to Shore's class and discipline, rarely misplacing kicks or dropping the ball.
Selection into GPS you either need the exposure or skill. To have a chance of selection you need to get into the 1sts. There are players toiling in all schools 2nd XVs who can make the transition. Held their due to styles of play or whatever reason. How are the younger age groups travelling?You tell me, you claim that there are more players in TKS 2 and 3 that can play in their 1st. Yet, how many of them made the GPS 1,2,3 or 4 side? Point is, TKS forward packs are much stronger in the YOUNGER age group. That is why their starting 2 and 3 are only 16.
Am I right in saying that the TKS 1's,2's and 3's have been effected by quite a few injuries this season.Selection into GPS you either need the exposure or skill.

I would say that is correct, there are generally quite a few injuries floating around all schools every year. Rverviews 1sts have featured a different lineup almost every week at the hands of injury.Am I right in saying that the TKS 1's,2's and 3's have been effected by quite a few injuries this season.

Thanks John. Angus was a delight to meet. I admire his play very much.noticed @Joker has been a bit inactive you all good mate? To back you up met Angus Grover this weekend lovely fella as you said. Thought he was an absolute great bloke and a stud of the game backed up by his performance. Hope you're recovering well mate

great to hear that you have been enjoying the discussion of late as I think we all have. I believe that Sully's grand intervention really pulled this forum back from the brink of insanity, would've been sad to see the few spoil the fun of the many.Thanks John. Angus was a delight to meet. I admire his play very much.
My health is up and down but have been spending longer out of bed these days.
I enjoy reading the debate here. Plenty of good people doing a great job.
Been here a long time. Have seen it happen every year. God it is annoyingwould've been sad to see the few spoil the fun of the many.
Any intel as to the joeys GPS representatives. All fine if not just curious, Cheers.
