Azzuri, your comment about no need to change the 100 year old Comp then the hypocracy etc,as a come back,is twisted,WHAT many of us are really saying,which I think you know,is that the the current system can be improved,no more complicated!

Bottom line is there are a major group of school heads thinking through all of this.
You can get the odd knob head in a group like this, but generally they are quite intelligent people, who understand culture,history etc.

Why don't we wait and see exactly what the outcome is and then comment.

Actually the most twisted thing on this thread is your mangling of the English language and your inability to accept that others don't all share your views.

I'm happy to engage in critique of my views but if all you can do is counter with a spew of glib, self serving platitudes and ignorant insults, then I will return serve with interest.

If you have nothing to contribute to this thread other than telling us how crap, insular and elitist the AAGPS is then I suggest you go elsewhere to promote that view rather than trolling AAGPS supporters.

You mean the parents who can't see beyond the fact that some tiny percentage of kids who play rugby at GPS schools could make money from it and therefore expect a little more for their money than a rugby premiership?

No. I mean that many parents think that if their sons don't play A or B grade they should play another sport....."don't waste your time playing in the Ds"....or "the school should offer another sport". They are missing the point of school sport (ie playing competitive sport in a team....etc) because as you say you can assume that virtually no one will make it to the top.
Shore's response is to offer another sport that they will be sh@t at instead of focusing on creating teams of boys in the sports already offered.

Azzuri,

I did try to offer the olive branch but you wouldn't accept it.
Hugh jarse also suggested we wait and see what the heads come up with.

Can I ask that you don't question my understanding of English/intelligence, I think that's a fair request.Nor insult me or anyone else.
I don't believe I have insulted anyone, nor would I, I think some of your recent posts don't help your case.
I am not trolling the AAGPS, they are critical to rugby!
This is about improving rugby if possible, and nothing else.

Rule 9 and 6.

Move on and delete your own posts that fail to comply with the forum rules before I have to.

Cards may be issued if I have to be the adult.

I think we now have feedback on New, Joeys, Scots and Shore, Anyone want to have a go at picking a Riverview or Kings 2017 1st XV?

Also High, Grammar and TAS?

Alternate views to those posted also strongly encouraged!

When posting it would be great to know what year the players are in and previous gradings

I would think the following lads are in contention for Kings first XV for 2017

1. Dougal Hicks (first XV in 2016) - AAGPS White
2. Ciaran Loh (2nd XV in 2016 - some First XV experience)
3. Jonathan Papantoniou (2nd XV in 2016 - some first XV experience)
4. Mac Williams (first XV in 2016) AAGPS White
5. Tbc
6. Nick Pepper (2016 16a?)
7. Charlie Brown (2016 First XV)
8. Sam Loch - (2016 16a's)
9. Henry Robbo
10. Matt Minogue (2016 16a's)
11. Eddie Mann
12. Eddie Poolman (2016 2nd XV)
13. Ben Duckworth (2016 First XV) AAGPS White
14. Lachlan Apps
15. Tbc

80% of these lads also had the benefit of participating in the Dec 2015 Tour of England and Italy

hfth,
I hope that is wrong,I have many good shore mates who would be livid if so!
Another example of mummy, and other sports winning out.
Now that you mention this, and I guess you know, then I would hope that the GPS posters who have had difficulty in embracing a new order, can.

Would be nice to hear their thoughts again given that at the end of the day,regardless of association and in terms of the bigger picture, we ARE on the same page.

It's just my opinion mate but as mentioned it's based on a number things I see. Of course there are those at Shore taking rugby seriously but like with all things, there are those that talk and then those that want it as badly as they need to breath. language teachers with little experience coaching B grade and down is a bad sign-only good coaches in A grade. Then when offered to get the likes George Gregan and Phil Waugh along even just for an informal chat, the school says no. WTF.

Looks like a strong side there Az and further evidence that 2017 will be another close comp.

Think they should put up a good showing next year Rich.

I agree it will be a close comp but sadley for all AAGPS teams one loss under the new format means that every game is potentially sudden death and injured players will only have limited opportunities to make it back on the park in time for the end of season.

That is akin to thinking daylight saving fades the curtains.
It will take them the same time to recover and, as ever, it depends when they get injured.

In the words of Joe Bjelke Peterson....doh, doh, don't you worry about that IS!!!

Yes of course nothing changes with recovery times but an injury requiring a three or four week recovery effectively puts paid to the season for a player in a five game comp.

Totally agree, hopefully no boys get concussion in the 5 round comp but unfortunately this will most likely happen.

That's a pretty good start FH23. I believe Kobi Ned has left the school. Not sure who 5/8 in thirds was this year. Vince Creagh was 16a 5/8.

A few others in the mix. Used your list and added a few with grading in 2016 that I could find:

1) Julian Heaven 16a (pres b prop)
2) Lincoln Blackhall 3rds
3) Fiu Gibson 3rds
4) John Yates 1sts
5) Sam Abbey 2nds? Or Max Swanberg 2nds
6) Tom Sutherland 2nds or Liam Scolari 16a
7) Paddy Dalton 1sts
8) Cody Edstein Boyes 2nds
9) Dylan Dowling 1sts
10) Vincent Creagh 16a (pres A 5/8)
11) Lachie Shortis 3rds
12) Jack Quinn 2nds
13) Triston Reilly 1sts
14) Tyrone Janson 3rds ?
15) Joe Kandalaft 2nds

Others to look out for who would be in the mix from GPS 16s presidents teams and strong players

Jo Dalton halfback (Pres a reserve)
Mackinley Croft 16a fullback
Xavier Ryan centre 16a (capt) (Pres a reserve)
Zac Cay centre 16a
James Bourchier 16a prop (pres a reserve)
Maclean Dombkins Hooker (Pres a reserve)
Jet Williams lock (Pres B reserve)
Click to expand...


Just a correction. Zac Cay is actually spelt "Zack Carey". Played 12 for 16A's in 2016. Showed very strong ball running and slick hands. I presume he'll be pushing for a spot in the centres for Joey's 1st XV - especially if Triston Reilly plays 15.
