based on my form might as well put ensure Shore gets a sole premiership
Liability might be an issue ?Personally I would go to Scots.
Big occasion, lots of supporters and plenty of smiling Scots mum to help.
BBQ not so good, but the cafe is great.
I am unable to go to any game but I will never step into Leichhardt ever again.
Mind you Joeys old boys can help with the demolition.

Riverview v Joeys just a surreal event best school boy rivalry in AustraliaWhat's the game to be at boys, Scots v Shore or Riverview v Joeys
Sorry J
The logical twists in this statement make Simone Biles blush.Stronger as an association yes, but most individual schools are now falling behind. It should be considered the GPS team comes from 6 schools whereas ISA is 2 and CAS is essentially 3 schools.
Letting themselves down really, talented team but the whip might need some cracking…What are your thoughts on Joeys discipline?
Justice getting two sin bins and Johannes a send off + 1 week out. With those being the 4 games they have lost?
Not to mention the seconds.
I feel the school, coaches, players mates and the players all need to up their game. It's really unacceptable, especially given how it seems to have cost them their season.
My assessment of Shore being a good Rugby school does not stem from their win against Joeys. It stems from the fact that the school has good pathway systems in place, immaculate training facilities and coaching staff, strong results in lower age groups and, most importantly, has won the 1st XV competition this year.We have now reached a time where winning 2 games out of 20+ against Joeys makes you a good rugby school or "officially the most dominant rugby school in Australia".
And that's ignoring ISA and CAS schools which are both giving GPS a run for their money. (As seen in the Augies v Joeys weekend)
Strong results in lower age groups? Man, can you count? 1 out of say 15 lower age matches doesn’t sound all that strong.My assessment of Shore being a good Rugby school does not stem from their win against Joeys.

Yes, Joeys did get the better of Shore for the most part last week, but, generally, the lower age groups have performed well. Joeys are the premier rugby school in the country. I don't know where all this chat about them falling off has come from.Strong results in lower age groups? Man, can you count? 1 out of say 15 lower age matches doesn’t sound all that strong.
Lots of variables that can indicate a good rugby School. Agree with most of your points, Rookie. We should also take into account the very quick turn around in the consistency of the Shore 1st XV over the last few years (likely due to those factors). Let's not forget the exceptional turn out by Shore students at games. Rugby plays an important role in generating culture within GPS schools. Joey's has always been brilliant at this, and Shore is now 'lifting their game'. Improving this aspect of a school can only improve the 'goodness' of it's Rugby.My assessment of Shore being a good Rugby school does not stem from their win against Joeys.

Both programs are strong and there is no doubting that. One has been an established powerhouse since the dawn of time and one is just rising up now. There will obviously be hiccups but they consistently beat New and Kings across the board.Yes, Joeys did get the better of Shore for the most part last week, but, generally, the lower age groups have performed well.
