I heard they went down 15-7.

I won’t lie when I say I really don’t understand their selections here. It seemed to be working against Waverley, and I’d hedge a bet that that Waverley 3rds would probably beat the Aloys 1sts. Why change what's not broken?

An AAGPS team going down against another Schools 3rd XV is almost unheard of.
Good to see CAS is matching quality down the grades.

Shore 3rds beat waves 3rd and went down to aloys 1sts
One should remember the Shore 3rd XV that took the park this week will be very, very different at the end of the season.
This is why AAGPS consider these trial games and not the Australian Schoolboy Rugby Championships. Perspective
Congrats though to the lads who played.

It comes from 30 years of writing school reports, those in particular at Scots College
In my early days report writing was a thrill. Honesty, clarity and subtle humour reigned. But as we drew closer to the 2000's school dark council would crack down on reports. They soon became sterile and told nothing that could be worked upon. For many years I had my reports thrown back at me to "try again"
For example.
Ben works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.
became....
Ben will succeed with additional care and support. (No shit.....every kid would.)
Hence I soon became a cog in the education industrial complex where honest/free thought was banned. It was worse working for the DET. Reports were almost identical and told parents bugger all if their son/daughter. It was like teaching in North Korea.
Anyway, back in the late 1980's I taught an absolute clown of a child. Bounced off walls, called out, made smart cracks. He was frustrating. Nothing seemed to work. School Reports finally came and I made the following final comment....
Somewhere in NSW there is a village that is missing an idiot.
His father read the report and was pleased he got some honest feedback. He then allowed me use a firmer hand. WORKED miracles. Wouldn't dare use that comment it now.

Must’ve been a tough watch for the boys. Early season still. I’m sure DMJ and Sincs will have something to say about this at Lennox Head. Promising work from the 2nds though. Head up gents.
No, I believe everything rests with the Shore boys. My observations are that the backs seem flat and somewhat hesitant. They allow their opposition to close the gap and even appear to be waiting for them to come to them. The forward pack needs to do some work at the breakdown and guard that possession of the ball like warriors. They should not rely on only a few to do the heavy lifting. The other aspect they need to work on is their mindset. I think these boys will start winning but they need the commitment and drive to make it happen sooner rather than later. It's early days yet and these are trial games. Let the coaches work the combinations of players and the boys to start forming and performing as a team. I think there'll be some good sessions at Lennox to knock the boys into shape.

Still below Knox, Barker, Waverley, and Trinity. Trinity were beating them 26-5 before the game was called off due to an injury.
