^^^^ Gawd Aggie, Az. The real “fear”, actually, is that it mayve been “a while” (for that RE-hy)! Glad I’m home already! ;)

^^^^ Can only imagine that the “Fear the Steer” bus home will be but some mere prelude to a generally raucous-as night, Az! ‘dem Stags getting 3 Colts teams through to GF’s was already a ‘win’. Something the whole cohort should rightly be very woof’n proud of.

Heard from Concorde that the Stags’ Colts 2’s D took an early-mark today, and 50-17 to the ‘Wicks was the last scoring update I got.

^^^^ Heck of an achievement by those young men. May they all go well, and stay injury-free in October’s matches!

^^^^ Good work, Joker. One for the GaGR Archives to settle future historical arguments! ;)

^^^^^ ShowandGo, I always feel for the Refs, and espesh on occasions like this one; a fired-up grand final atmosphere, HUGE crowd, two (dare I say it) ‘crackerjack’ teams going hard at it, a couple of baying sets of Schoolboy cohorts. Pressure? Hey, what pressure?!! That said, even with all...

I saw the same 17 back to 15 change on the scoreboard, but didn’t have the benefit of any replay, sports-ears, or other means to confirm what had happened. I was “told” the reason for the ‘no conversion’ was that one of the charge-down Kings runners had got a touch on the ball. Maybe check...

Calling out here to Joker. (Not sure he’ll even pick this up before tomorrow, when the most boisterous of the JoeBoys’ celebrations should have passed!) Joker, reaching out here. Would you be happy to be included in the 2018 Season Review? An eager audience, and your unique talents almost...

Match Report has been filed w/ the ‘powers that be’, SD. (But “They” don’t tell us mere scribes when publication up onto the Blog is/ might be!) Yes, Charlie Savala did play yesterday. Looks tho’ like he may’ve hurt that shoulder of his again. Happened towards the end. Despite all the...

SD, On the 3rds Comp, it is very much a “live rubber” out at Lane Cove on Saturday. ‘View are undefeated; Joeys with just the one loss (which was to Grammar in Round 1, if I recall correctly, and which would’ve been the Joeys 3’s first loss in an age I’d guess!) If View win (or it’s draw), an...

^^^^ QH, Joeys getting ‘back up’ off the canvas after their near-miss loss to Kings the week before, and to best Scots away on Saturday, was seriously impressive. They should ride on a veritable ‘high’ of emotion across to Lane Cove on Saturday. Kings and Scots will be equally crushed from...

Endorse that ‘end of game’ comment, SDW. V well said, mate. Something about the sheer sportsmanship of Tejcek, just the sheer class of the kid, in that particular moment. Super impressed.

And channelling Father Jim here, the non-trophied 2018 3rd’s Championship is far from “done”, with Riverview undefeated (so far, and on 5 W’s), and those other same three teams ‘featuring’ in 2018 - Joeys (4 W’s) and Kings and Scots (both 3 W’s) - still featuring front and centre as to how the...

^^^^^ SDW, in my shorter 15 or so years of Sydney GPS viewing experiences, my sense is that most teams automatically “rise up” to meet the Joeys challenge! That said, next week at Bellevue Hill is indeed GPS Season 2018 “GF” No.2. Should be a beauty.

^^^^^ I was at HH yesterday, ‘Steppa. So, just like in politics, you can only keep some of the punters happy, some of the time. As disappointed as SDW may be, and no doubt others, with your fine visuals posted, tonight, I am one of the happy punters who had a bit o’ cake already (at HH), and am...
