GPS 1st XV (no bias)
1. Doug Streeter (Shore) - Strong last year, proved himself undoubtedly against his bigger opponents and is very mobile.
2. Jono Burke (Kings) - Solid Unit, hits hard and should represent kings well both in this team and the Kings team.
3. Matt Sandell (Joeys) (C) - Worked well with piggy (Tom Robertson) last year and shows dominance in the scrum and his ball running.
4. Anthony Vasilis (Newington) - had continuous injuries last year e.g. Broken thumb and only got a good chance to show what he is worth in the Scots trial game and later in the season for the 2nds. He tackles well and supports any player thats round him.
Ned Hanigan (Joeys)- Shown his 'might' in the 1st VIII and a leader in the Joeys school. He will be fit and ready to play GPS firsts.
5. Lachie Cannell (Newington)- In the premiership team from New in 2012, didn't get any representative shots last year but due to his size and age (is on pathways), he will show his might and be even better than last year.
6. Olly Kamp (Scots)- Really powerful on the field with ball in hand and in defence, aggressive player all round and would intimidate opponents even before the game has started.
7. Jack McCalman (Kings) (C) - Has strong family genes, represented the AUS 7s team and is a born leader both at school and on the footy field.
8. Angus Critchon (Scots)- Will have gained more size since now playing 1sts for the 2nd year and being in year 10 last year. was in NGS squad and tackles like a wall.
David Morris (Newington)-Underdog of the Backrows, Red-headed Kiwi that can do the job espically in rucks and mauls. He was in last years New 1sts who took out the premiership.
Rob Black (Kings)- Seen him play excellent in the 2nd XV for Kings and should be ready to go further and better through the 1sts and GPS 1sts.
9. Joey Lussick (Newington) - Has played games in the 1sts since year 9 for Newington with a premiership under his belt last year. he will do very well in this position and his size at this position separates him from the other halfbacks.
10. Andrew Deegan (Joeys) (VC) - Strong lad, able to put on hits and take hits. Very capable leader on the field and will represent his school and the GPS very well.
11. Taane Milne (Newington) - Was in the 1st XV premiership team for 2012, represented NSW 1s, Australia A Schoolboys and has that infamous palm to his name. Also has gained even more size and speed since last year. He is also playing the Roosters U20s.
12. Tepai Morea (Newington) - Was in the 1st XV premiership team for 2012, represented NSW 1s, Australian Schoolboys and the Australian youth 7s. All of this being done in year 11. He is a danger man in any team whether it's be in league or union, he will go far.
13. Needs to be filled in.
14. Josh Mitchell (Newington)- Shown his worth in the 2nd XV team for Newington with numerous big hits and tries to his name. He is very aggressive on the field and his intimidation factor is worthwhile in any team.
Henry Hutchison (Riverview) - In year 11 but his very quick and a strong runner with the ball. Played for GPS 16s last year.
15. Andrew Kellaway (Scots)- Undoubtedly one of the finest 'year 7' starters the GPS schools have seen in a while. He has numerous GPS, state and national representations to his name. He will do the same as other year and be quick, strong and read plays very well.
Although a solid supporter of Newington, this would look to have as much bias in my team as any other team posted. But the reason i have chosen these boys is because of the following reasons as listed above.
To prove what I have said, take a look at the boys playing in video:

Now I don't want to put too finer point onthis rhetoric, but NO BIAS???? FFS the only person you haven't named from The dark vales of Stanmore is Old mate that burns the snags on the BBQ at home matches. Why don't you name New 2nd XV as GPS 2's as well.
No Bias , my arse.
