Now I'm officially lost: does "pulled the pin" mean ended or started? I infer the latter from your question to the DoS.

I think we need a translation - I have no idea what he is inferring

I hate to be the one to tell you but Shore has just pulled the pin on the nuclear option. This thread will now have a very limited half-life. I urge you to contact your own snouts there. Simply ask them: What changes will the DoSport be bringing in next year? Sorry.

Hopefully a better eight - HOTR has been way too close for comfort in recent years - need a time at least in the 5.40s to achieve world domination.

No.
We're in the honeymoon suite.
There's pink champagne on ice.
Hopefully we will not encounter the sweet smell of colitas rising up through the air

Bienvenue à l'Hôtel Californie...

Here I was... Thinking I was on top of my game.

Nup... Dumb as a stump. I have NFI what whistle is on about.
Time to paddle away

Only Days of Our Lives has gone on longer and had two more twists in the story line than this issue.

Nothing will change till the main players are killed of and new script writers appointed.

There is roughly a 8-9 year turnover period for GPS dads (assuming 2 sons) - hopefully some new blood will soon emerge that is more informed on player movements across various codes.

They tried this in the 2006/07 and 2010/11 eights.
1. Didn't work then, not sure it will work again.
2. They have won every other HOTR in last 8 years without post year 7 arrivals.

Is this our regular stop at the Shore boatshed?

Next stop Grammar's million dollar boat?

Hyperbaric chamber anyone?

A Brumbies Junior Academy player moving to Scots very soon, going into Year 10.
Totally unsubstantiated conjecture at the moment, but I'll keep my ears to the ground for emerging facts.

The boy and his family have not accepted the scholarship offer. They all feel he will be better off completing his education at his current school, maintaining contact with respected teachers, family and friends.

Hyperbaric chamber anyone?

I know this is pedantic, but it is a HYPOXIC or altitude chamber at Scots. A hyperbaric chamber is quite the opposite.

Any takers for hypobaric chamber?

Well, my understanding is it is lower oxygen primarily, hence Hypoxic. If it truly simulates high altitude - lower pressure and oxygen content - then hypobaric. But yes, the two terms are, for our purposes, interchangeable. But it definitely is not hyperbaric!

My guess is hyperbaric which is used for speeding up return from injuries.
Not sure hypobaric chamber has any great effect in schoolboy rugby. Maybe for rowing and mountain climbing?

Cyclo.... You are such a pedant!!!!
Can we tolerate this behaviour? Or is this just an irregularity or maybe an anomaly???
Think of the children, please!

 

[Brian Westlake]

In regards to the Hype Chamber.... Do they use it for the cricketers or is it just the domain of the bbbbballers?

Your guess is wrong, unless they bought another chamber, which I am close to 100% sure they did not.
It IS a chamber to simulate high-altitude training, i.e. lower oxygen content, and can benefit any sport with an aerobic component. Rowing and cycling spring foremost to mind. But others like rugby might gain small amounts.
Hyperbaric chambers can be used to speed up recovery from certain injuries, obviously also for diving-related medicine and other specific medical uses. They are hazardous and operated by medical teams, and not generally lobbed into school gymnasia.

 

[Quick Hands]

Scots merely describe it as an "altitiude training chamber"

https://sports.tsc.nsw.edu.au/sports-science/high-performance-centre/

A bit of research indicates that the correct technical name for such a chamber is a 'hypoxic chamber".

.....It's a hypobaric chamber (albeit a a very basic version) ...pure and simple... the Scots facility is managed by qualified people...as i understand it boys just cant bowl up and workout in the fishbowl without supervision.

A hypobaric chamber, or altitude chamber, is a chamber used during aerospace or high terrestrial altitude research or training to simulate the effects of high altitude on the human body, especially hypoxia (low oxygen) and hypobaria (low ambient air pressure). Some chambers also control for temperature and relative humidity
