We are still looking for a 2nd writer for Joeys, Kings and New; so please send me a convo if you are willing to have a crack.

You will be given some guidelines to follow.

And if you go to games of the other schools and want to write one or two match reports during the season give me a convo also - sometimes writers aren't available and we need a bench writer.

Need to step up in the tipping stakes after my inauspicious 1/3 in rd 1. I can feel it in my waters as follows:

Joeys v Scots: Joeys to capitalize on the confidence derived from their big win over View and to ride their home support to consign the pre-season favourites, Scots, 0/2 in a tight finish: J by 5.

Kings v Newington: A cracking battle up front, very even at set piece and the breakdown. The class of New's outside backs the difference: N by 7.

Shore v Riverview: Barring a draw one of these teams will seize the momentum heading into the break. View to dominate in the forwards so that the re-jigged backline see the front foot ball they lacked against Joeys. R by 14.

OK I will try to pick this weekend
Riverview vs Shore: Shore to be spoilers and keep the score close but I would think that Riverview would make some changes from their last game and be improved. Riverview to win a close one
Joeys vs Scots: Riverview made Joeys look good in their last game. Scots while having the players have not produced any real form. Joeys to win again in a close one
Kings vs Newington: I have seen neither team this year but it looks too close to call...a draw!

Striking similarities between the new Wallabies jersey and a certain GPS school's current rugby jersey? The good Doctor at work me thinks. Also very similar play style between the two gentlemen pictured. Good spot Big Marv.

Seems a good team this year, a couple of outsiders for GPS !'s or 2's, Jacob Story the prop has good skills and is tough, and Clifford the #7 has been carrying an injury ,but wont be surprised if he plays his way back into rep calculations, was GPS 3rds last year as well.

My Tips theis week Newington by 1o
Joeys by 6. Riverview by 12.

 

[Brian Westlake]

CTPE, god bless his little cotton socks, will take a screen shot of this but here goes this weekends tips... Kings by <7, Shore by 10? and Joeys by 2

 

[Nectarphiliac]

Thanks

fearless predictions

scots to come to the fore and belt the catholics bursting the balloon of overconfidence that has swollen their heads after beating the lace doily makers from across the creek. look for a big performance from the scots pack as they demolish the sausage rolls in the tea closet after.

view to win the game. meanwhile in the car park it will be the finer nz chardonnay, highly polished rm williams boots and better imported brie that will prove the winner for shore in a tight contest

newington proving that the taro root is mightier than a pomme de terre in a match which will see those with sand in their boots stronger than those with western red soil. could be an upset in the after match afters when the pies run out

 

[mark7]

Jack Mann coming in at 10 for Kings to replace injured Poletto

If Jack Mann is coming in at 10 for Kings I would be watching him.

I watched this kid in the U/16's and he was easily the greatest head on the park.

Unfortunately has been hampered with injury but if he gets back to good form the Kings side is a 10 point better team if not more.

Great game management with good precise general play kicking and silky hands.

Definitely one to watch
