Grammar boys still on the plane from Moree
Armidale has had a great dump of snow.
I was lucky to experience this once in 1984 where they cancelled lectures at the Armidale Teachers College.
Got to be tough to experience an Armidale winter. Hope the Grammar lads got home safely
Here is what it looked like yesterday. Imagine playing rugby in this.

School mass this weekend, maybe they could move it forward a few days and say a few prayers for our Anglican brethren?

View will close it out now. Both games. It won't be close.
In hindsight, it seems the Scots game was just what they needed. By all reports, they are extremely motivated.

Nothing would inspire view more than denying Joeys the opportunity to even compete for the trophy
First time here, but have been reading the forum since the days of founder Lee Grant( his pseudonym) in about 2010. A couple of years ago someone asked “How did the Joeys second grade half get to play for Australian schoolboys on tour to UK?”
The answer was that the Joeys Firsts halfback in 2005, Nathan Seivert, played schools tests in August and October and got picked to tour UK. Matthew Schwager ,Joeys Seconds half, got picked as a reserve for GPS thirds but impressed enough V CAS that he was made reserve half in NSW Firsts under Seivert. On tour Seivert got injured in “test” against England. Schwager was at the time on a gap year in Ireland which the schools’ tour manager knew so he called him in to be reserve half against Ireland with the A C T half replacing Seivert. During that match T Talavara was injured so Schwager got to not only play but scored the winning try from the scrumbase or ruck.
I believe Schwager was still playing, captaining and coaching around Narrabri until recently if not still.
moral of the story is don’t despair if not selected by GPS ; what would they know!

Some great rugby over the weekend, thank god for streamer!
Got to say the #9 for TSC 2's would have to be 2nd in the AAGPS to Grover only. He is very good!
His ability to control the tempo of the game and his game awareness is v good. Must have annoyed someone at that school.

Definetly high, should've been a penalty try!
I have to feel for my boys in Blue and White. It is very sad to see the disappointment of the Shoremen after they hold their own until the wheels fall off in the final quarter of the game. Some questions to ask ourselves. Shore got caught napping after scoring a try, and Newington responded with a quick kickoff that almost resulted in a try. Are we being too complacent when we start performing and fail to remain "switched on" for the entire 70 minutes?
Here for the advice

And sadly looks like another injury or two to deal
with. But all teams face injuries just been a tough year where the review of selections (out of position and some reaches for those who just are not up to 1st in Year 11), game plans etc can be had but best those graduating look forward. Those there next year can have next years comp for redemption. Onto View next week. A battle in the 2’s for second in that comp, and a hope for 1s to put on a display.
