Please sir can I have some more ?
You cannot get blood from a stone. I truly believe that each young man would be giving of their very best. David Jennings or David Jones or Mickey Mouse cannot extract more out of anybody unless torture is involved. Don't think GPS condones that ?
After a weekend at SIRC - it would not be the rowers not trying their very best that would worry me. It would be the venue - was I the only person watching the Umpire boats constantly removing weed from the props ?? A sculler went swimming and I heard - that it was because he caught a significant clump of weed and it unbalanced him.
If a rudder caught weed or any blade - precious time could be lost. If memory serves me correctly last year at Nationals Lane 1 was closed due to weed. I think the venue has a never ending battle to control it. There is one water mower I think? The grounds people do an amazing job trying their best but they are up against it. If I had a water mower I would be hiring it out at a handsome rate to mow mow the course so the rowers and row row the boats.[/quote
I think Sat race was a repeat of every race this year. Joeys held until the 1500m and then take over. Be surprised if changes this Saturday though hopefully they get a scare and are made to earn it. Shore, Riverview and Scots need to pull something out of the bag. DJ indeed not happy abt Saturday and wants more from Shore this Saturday.
Riverview did a great job I thought, confidence boost from going yellow in the Sydney Uni Empacher and only 0.5sec behind Shore. I doubt they'll get Joeys though
