No Callum Grantham (N) at 15 should be considered a criminal offence of the highest nature.

I like him as a kid and player, know him from the junior club rugby days, but surprised at the ongoing selection of Gough. I know he was in last year so would be expected this year but, against two fairly inoffensive Kings backlines last year and this, I have not seen him do much at all to warrant unanimous selection. Maybe they're his bogey team and he puts on a show against others? Shame Risati and Bass unavailable - could have been a pretty special backline this year (albeit nearly all leaguies across Bass, Makasini, Callaghan, Grantham, Risati, Large x2). Blow you apart anywhere across the park.

My Final Predictions for the GPS First XV:

1. Lavercombe (K)
2. Smith (K)
3. Bloomfield (K)
4. Fonua (K)
5. Muir (N)
6. Taumoepeau (J)
7. Simmons (N) - Dempsey (I)
8. Lemoto (S)
9. Grover (I)
10. Callaghan (E) - Taylor (K) - Antielea-Tsioussis (N)
11. Folkes (I)
12. Gough (J)
13. O'Conner (J) - Sloane (N) - Scarr (I)
14. Roberts- Lintmeijer (N)
15. Grantham (N) - Callaghan (E)

I believe every position is pretty much cemented, bit of toss up between 10, 13 and 15. I have put Simmons in but I believe Dempsey is electric and may be fundamentally better than him, will be interesting to see selections and games this weekend.

Thoughts, would be suprised if I missed any.

How do selectors choose what’s the process ?

I would agree. Hist last year was far better than this year. More incisive.

I have been on this forum for quite a while now, and I have had enough. The tireless subtle digs at scots have gotten out of hand, especially from the people who are supposed to be the so called "moderators". Now I know, we all love a little banter towards the boys of the east. However, I do also like to ask the question on why particularly the boys in Bellevue hill? Is it because they have castle? In that case I suggest people start making comments about the architecture of st Josephs, direct representation from a medieval castle. Kings, a school with so much land, they have their own post code. Riverview, a place where some students take their own boats to school. Newington and Shore, constantly renovating their school to have state of the art facilities. All I am saying is, it's not just the boys on the hill with their " Handbags" and I hope this is considered when making comments about them.

Could not agree more. It has been going on for years. If it is directed at other schools it is considered Too far, but when directed at SCOTS it is titled 'banter'.
