With a dominant Easts scrum, Manly lucky not to have one put in the bin at the end. Easts really should have won that game. Still picked up 2 points though
Oh dear! Please lets not go there. It is school sport. Not entertainment for OUR gratification.
Referees for 1st, 2nds and 3rds are appointed by NSW Referees on a merit system. They are coached, assessed and graded for future appointments. Referees want to put in a good performance too...
Congratulations to "All things footy" who correctly picked the back line excluding #9 . Maybe not in order but close enough.
Think you got 10 out of 15 of the GPS Firsts! Cudos to you.
Well the Green and Gold forum on selections for AAGPS wasn't too far from the mark!
Think we had 9/15 for GPS I. A few surprises but up to the players to play well to push for higher selection
Have to say GPS has some serious talent across all 4 teams. Congratulations to the selectors who do...
ATF, thanks for putting that together. Broadly agree with most of your choices. A good spread across most schools.
Not sure you're going to get 2 5/8ths from Kings selected!
As Basten (K) was GPS2 last year, I would imagine he would get the nod over Stiel (E) at tight head.
I think the...

Last Round of trials coming up this weekend. Then Round 1 of comp and then GPS team announced 19 June.
Following is my summary of players to keep an eye out for in the competition and for Rep selections. I have included their 2021 selections. I know this doesn't guarantee them selection but...
And swore at the ref and had to be settled down by his team mates as he left the field in front of the Scot’s school masters. Was an ugly dangerous tackle followed by very ugly behaviour. Joeys kids went head first into the ground and was knocked out. Believe it is left with the school to deal...
Next Saturday marks the start of the GPS 3rd XV competition.
High V Shore (Centennial Park)
TAS v Joeys (Armidale)
Kings V Grammar (Parramatta)

Brisbane and Sydney both 2 from 2 with one round to play before playoffs.
WA and Vic appear the weakest.
First time I have had a chance to watch the Firsts Colts GF.
Quite incredible display by Uni Forward pack. Wicks were on the back foot all day. Uni took 1 tight head, were awarded 7 scrum penalties. Wicks managed to win just 3 of their own scrums. In all cases they were going backwards...
