Not 100% sure but the fullback position for the Newington 1sts will be interesting as new recruit Kden Carter who was the U16's Waratahs fullback will be going up against U16's Australia fullback Jarryd King.

The President is back! Apologies fellas, but I am back now. Will be interesting to see what each school can cook up these holidays and how they will prepare for a big season which is shaping up to be one of the most competitive we have seen for a while. We'll see if the Shoremen can make it back to back...

Carter it’s a prodigious talent but it will be interesting to see how he performs under the scrutiny of GPS rugby, temperament will be the key determinant

Two clinical players from the same school both fighting for that #15 jersey.
We will likely see both fit into Newington's 'stacked' backline, with Jarryd King likely moving into the outside centre position (13), a position played earlier in the year by King in the U18s Waratahs vs Reds two-game series.

I don't know you do it, but you somehow bring the hammer in such an admirable way.

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 whats 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.
