Have a well earned rest Joker.
Thank you for all your amazing input this year.
Joeys boys across all levels and all age groups were a tribute to the school not only from the trophies secured but more importantly from the way they played the game.
Go the Wallabies!

Joker, wondering how many undefeated teams there have been in the history of the comp and how many of them have done it in the two round format?

ok.

That will take some major time and cooperation from all the Schools.
May be able to get the last two decades done in couple of weeks
Give me some time.
I know Joeys have 27 out of 56 premierships as Champions
This last project took me a long time

Ha ha I though I would give you something to do over the "break".
What are you thoughts on a hybrid comp with CAS, I was always against it but now I'm warming to it.

Keep them separate I have always said. The AAGPS was set up to compete in set sports and games. It would crowd the season, create logistical nightmares for schools having to play the bigger ones. Joeys have 44 rugby teams and NO school this season was able to play every team at Joeys. Closet was View who had 40. Stay as we are. Enjoy the pre-season for what it is and then play out comp and let the CAS worry about theirs. We have more to lose and they have everything to win.

Congratulations to Joeys , well deserved premiership 2019.

Pretty sure this team had only 1 draw to Riverview and maybe a narrow loss when they pushed up some 16A kids in a trial.

Totally dominated from 13A, well done.

Some great points and I would tend to agree. The only thing I don't like is only five rounds. I think two rounds was maybe a little too long and the crowds did suffer but only having two home competition games this year for Scots was a bit lean.

Next year is the 150th anniversary of the Newington and Kings 1st XV game so I would also expect big performances from them. Add Joeys to the prediction and its looking like a cracker of a season in 2020 especially if they bring back a 10 round competition.
For the history buffs schools played 2 competition rounds pretty much between 1900-1910 and two games a week, on Wednesday and Saturday with one team getting a bye as Scots had not entered the 1sts competition.
Kings, Newington, St Joseph's and St Ignatius had grounds at home, SCEGS played on North Sydney Oval, Grammar the SCG and SBHS on Erskinville Oval.
What else does Newington and Kings also have on their radar over the next two years....HOR wins.
In 1920 at their first attempt Kings won it as did Newington in 1921. Kings are looking the goods for 2020!

Bear in mind that from 1892-1914 that the GPS rugby was a 2 round competition. Went back to 1 round (presumably because of WW1) and seemed to stay there until the 2000s when Grammar dropped out and it went to two rounds as a 6 team competition.

I did promise some historical GPS rugby highlights from the 150 Years of Newington Rugby book after the 2019 season concluded. The historical rugby buffs out there can feast on the first instalment.

Newington's 1st game was against Sydney Uni in 1869 at the school's then ground at Silverwater (the ground no longer exists but would be inside Silverwater Gaol if it did).

Rugby at that time was 20 a side with the laws/rules often agreed to by the teams match by match.

The result of games was originally decided by goals; i.e. no points for a 'touchdown' - all it did was allow you to 'try' for a goal

First game of schoolboy rugby was Newington v Kings in 1870 - no result or location of the game was recorded.

In 1871 the RFU (England) decided that games would be decided by goals.

First recorded result was in 1873 when Newington and Kings played 2 games of 20 a side rugby.
In the first game played on the Parramatta Domain Kings won the game with 5 touchdowns and 3 goals to Newington with no touchdowns or goals.
In the return match at Silverwater Kings won with a touchdown and a goal to Newington's touchdown.

Total points aren't provided for either game, but from the RFU points system, Kings would have won the first game 3-0 and the second game 1-0. Note that 1871 was the year in which the RFU was formed when some football clubs left the FA, so the soccer scoring system would still have been there as a legacy. It was at this point that soccer and rugby diverged into completely separate games.

The first codification of points resembling what we know today seems to have come in 1886 from the RFU in England

Try - 1 point
Goal - 3 points
Penalty Goal 3 points
Field Goal 4 points

In 1891 a try was increased to 2 points

In 1893 a try was increased to 3 points and a goal after a try reduced to 2 points.

That's enough for now:)

Ed Mcgowan is out for next season apparently after a bad head injury so maybe one of the 16as kids or 3rds guys will step up.

Joker - what do you think would be better for the long term future of the game.
