There seems to be no reason to confine ourselves to talking about next year's comp - lets get out the crystal ball and have a go at 2013.
Joey's and Kings will share it - Grammar will come last and this horrific, overiding sense of deja vu will pervade the senses of anyone who remembers the winter of 1927.
Interesting - they will still have supplied more wallaby captains than any other school and more players to the 1927/28 Waratahs (including the captain A. C. "Johnnie" Wallace - who aslo rowed in 3 (3!) consecutive head of the river victories) than any other school.
And their recruiting programme of the late ninteenth century makes the efforts of the Kings and New' of today look positively spartan.
Yeah right - do you mean recruiting the first prime minister? or high court judges? or Col Windon or Alec Ross or was it something else you had in mind?
Where do I get that mag?
I may have some stuff you can use/refer to
It's sold at GPS games ... usually from about round 3 of each season (one edition per year).
I'll contact you with my e mail re' your contribution/input.
Kings did win in 2011 but don't forget they beat New's 16A's by 10-7, and whilst it was a full strength Kings side, New were missing George Prassas (U16GPS 1sts, 2nd XV), David Morris (U16 NSW, 1st XV), Joey Lussick (NSW schools/1st XV), Eliss Abrahams (2nd XV) and Oscar Pople (GPS opens 3rd XV).
Next year Joeys will have these players returning from 1s and 2s
1st - Matt Sandell (3), Patty O'Brien (8), Pat Curtain (9), Andrew Deegan (10)
2nds - Ned Hanigan (4), Jono Hardy (5), Nic Penisi (6), Tevita Mackani (9), Connor O'Shea (10), Pat Vaughn (13), Angus McGrath (15)
They have a few more from the table topping 3rds and great players from the successful 16As including NSW fullback Mason Cohen, Sydney prop Teirney Glasson and superstar wingers Tim McCutcheon and Latrell Robinson. Look out for 15s star Tom Wright aswell.
