Another year starting ! What does everyone think ? What is the likely lineup of the 1st VIII's.
Let's get this thread cooking with gas.

Same old mostly from what I have seen; Shore, Joeys looking good
"same old"?
In the sense that they last won in 1973 when Steve Williams was in the crew?
Cryptic! care to elaborate? and is your info derived from experience within either of those sheds?if true he is in grave danger of just being young
even more intriguing - well, we shall see what eventuates.
Kings will have a very young senior shed with only 10-12 2015yr12 rowers. They have kept most of their 2014 yr10 1st VIII (GPS HOR winners & 2nd at Nats) and yr10 2nd VIII (2nd GPS HOR) so they should have strong IVs this year.
Interestingly the 2015 Yr10 cohort is significantly bigger and heavier than 2014s Yr10s so it will be interesting to see how they gel
Apparently they have also completely changed their summer camps program as well

Any truth to the rumour that a successful young member of Joeys coaching staff has been poached by Scots?
I think Williams was in the crew from 1974-76. His was the seat that broke and lost them the 1974 race.
And ISIL doesn't have Scots' budget.Yes. World domination is spreading. Watch out ISIL, Scots is coming.
To a degree…. Shore often goes to NZ over the summer break for early regattas and let's face it, the Kiwis are probably world best these days in rowing. It's also probably filtered down to every level or rowing over there. Here, RA is in trouble big time after recent World Champs and Junior Worlds results. Scots and maybe one or two schools may also feel the need to follow suit and go to NZ. What seems to work for Shore is that they get crucial 'race' training. When they get back they're ready to race and not just row. The season is short and racers win the HOTR. There's no need for just guts over style in a 2000m race unlike the old 2400m distance.Is it true that the HOR is either won or lost over the Summer Holidays - the timing of the summer camps is critical to how they line up for the Regatta's commencing in 2015.

Looks like the poaching has moved to coaches…. Wonder if Jennings has to fight them off with a stick?And ISIL doesn't have Scots' budget.
