The Moloneys made it the hard way, against the best efforts of a coach and the RA selectors.

Not quite. The coaches got the GPS VIII they wanted. They told the Moloneys that they weren't up to making the GPS VIII. The Moloneys then rowed from and for SRC, from where I'm told, they set the fastest prognostic for sweep. The coaches who selected the slow VIII, then picked a IV without...

SJC do have a cerise Empacher...but at the end of the day, it's not about the boat, its colour, or the amount it cost. 1996 Shore VIII - set the record 5.42 in a KIRS (NZ) East German shape 2015 SJC VIII - broke the drought in a KIRS/LASZLO (NZ) 2018 SIC VIII - broke the drought in a LASZLO...

Couldn’t agree more Surf boat rowing might well be an avenue leading to coastal rowing at the Olympics? There’s every chance that still water rowing will make way for coastal/beach rowing in the not to distant future…

Sir, I salute you Rowing is a brutal ruthless unforgiving sport. I’ve heard it described as a sport of the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. With very little in between. It’s why the kids are often told to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. The race is so special because it...

My understanding is that all talk regarding TKS cheating, interfering, and refusing to respond to the umpires commands was taboo. Off limits. Granted they were a special crew…who under performed and got slower post NSW State Championships. Didn’t compete at Nationals. And then whimpered to a...

No need to admit anything sir. It takes courage to put the prediction’s out there. You drive a lot of the discussion and banter. Don’t stop

Are you suggesting that, like in 2020, the coaches mucked up the taper? Or that the crew didn't do enough work in Term one?

At the 2023 Head of the River SGS had no Year 10 VIIIs. The AAGPS Rowing Convenor, and former SGS Director of Rowing, stacked a 3rd VIII. They won...

Tremendous race from the SJC VIII...co-coached by Riverview OB Will Raven and his teacher from SIC Mick Lane. The Shore first VIII produced their best on the day that mattered. Started the season 10 to 13 seconds off the pace and then dusted SIC and TKS today. Great job JB and crew. So to the...

TKS are favourites, it's theirs to lose. SIC and SJC would need to do something special to take it out.

SIC 1994: What a year for View and the late great Denis Rowe. A legend of the Riverview boatshed.

From the AAGPS Constitution: Rules of Rowing (unless recently changed) Coxswains will have race calls recorded at any SIRC regatta prior to the Head of the River. A panel of three selectors nominated by the Rowing Sub-Committee will listen to the race calls and the coxswains will be judged on...

It all depends on what the AAGPS Rowing Convenor accepts as valid.

My favourite is the Kings 2022 video.

Absolutely no discussion on this’race’ is allowed. Or you run the risk of being banned. Any reference to cheating, intimidation, interference, and abject disrespect for the umpire and the rules of racing is totally unacceptable on this site.

Won’t be long and there will be school girls racing at AAGPS Head of the River…TAS vs Newington.

One of the best rowing videos of all time was produced by a SIC 3rd VIII. It had everything…

I think the coxswains do have to provide a race recording?

One day the AAGPS Rowing Convenor will get the lads together for a crew photo and maybe even a morning tea with parents...in 1987 the crew trained together and then represented the NSW Rowing Association. I believe that there is a photo of the crew at the Kings Boatshed. Ken St Heaps was the...
