Any more than recent predictions for team lists ? Particularly riverview, scots and joeys

 

[mike parker]

word going around that tim clements is starting at inside centre for the first XV in the next trial game..
can anyone confirm?

 

[Nectarphiliac]

any predictions for the newington XV for this saturday?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^^
I predict that Newington will have a pretty tough gig, especially with many of their "usual" starters still committed to athletics. Oakhill have belted Cranbrook by 70+ points weekend before last and nearly put 100 points onto Daramalan (ACT) today.

Shore have a trial against St Augustines this weekend, again minus athletes.

Joeys are up against St Patricks at Strathfield, and Riverview cross the mountains to take on Stannies at Bathurst. That is always a tough gig, especially if the weather is inclement which it is predicted to be.

 

[Nectarphiliac]

ah yes Stannies away is indeed a tough fixture, does anyone know the lineup for the Riverview side?

Still looking for writers

Are there any forum members who would be interested in writing match reports on GPS games this year?

We try to get a three-page blog out every week with a match on each page.

Or maybe you take photos during a game and you can forward a few. They can be added to somebody else's writing and lift the whole report.

Would anybody interested in providing writing or photos please send me a "convo" by clicking on Inbox and then on "Start a new conversation."

Thank you
.

There has been very little interest this year so we may have to limit our coverage to a few Joeys or Riverview games.

So please send me a convo if you can contribute - the reports don't have to be formal, covering everything - just the vibe of the game and a few comments on who played well - and the final score, will be better than nothing.

Then we can add a few things in from the forum.

2. Jake Hedge
3. Luke Edwards
4. Hugh Finlay
5. Rory Suttor
6. Fergus Bragg
7. Ben Reader
8. James Doyle
9. Oscar Lane
10. Lachie Patrick
11. Ed Gregory
12. Ben Maltman
13. Sam Allan
14. James Berkman

Strong forwards pack. lots of backs out.

 

[Nectarphiliac]

does anyone know how many previous 1st XV members are in this team?

 

[The Spaceman]

Not too much experience in there from what I have noticed - Bragg played hooker last year and Suttor floated in the 2 row. A lot of seconds players returning however - more so when the athletes return from what I believe.

 

[the_magician]

Any predictions for View 2nd XV? I know that the 3rd XV had plenty of Year 11's last year, particularly the backline.

yes i think that is the case with most teams. Anyone heading down to watch new vs oakhill today?

 

[Keith Taylor]

Stannies just defeated Riverview 32-17. Great game congrats Stannies

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^ Stannies beat View last year as well. Something about snow and freezing temperatures.

Live streaming of AAGPS 1st XV games. Is there a buck to be made from it?

They seem to think so in Auckland.

[Inside Shoulder]

Even the Auckland RU (let alone the ARU) don't think there's a buck in it yet.

Haven't the GPS Headmasters been consistently against televising their games? Something about not exposing students to external pressures. However, the mind set of some of the Headmasters is different today.

 

[Brian Westlake]

Only due to the fact that one of them wanted naming rights

 

[Ruck & Maul 101]

Anyone got the score from shores trial against Augs today
