How is this going to be possible while a GPS regatta at Hen and Chicken will be being held at the same time?

Depends on how much success you have

I never said that rowers don't row in the winter. I stated that it is very unusual for schools to open sheds in the winter this early as they have never done in the past and is against AAGPS By Laws to be training during other sports seasons (with the exception of athletics/swimming). It seems...

I don't appreciate being called delusional. I don't see or hear of Shore who are no doubts favourites again coming into this next season opening up their shed for boys to row so I think that definitely is the reason why they schools are opening sheds. In other words to get the jump on the...

My goodness must these schools that are opening their sheds in May be worried about the lack of talent they have as they are basically starting 4 and a half months early. I question the moral compass of the heads of rowing at these schools as opening a school shed in May is utterly ridiculous...

I don't see their names getting thrown around or mentioned then.

You infer that i am affiliated with Shore. I've never said anything to link myself with the school. I'm providing an subjective opinion on the subject. I am assuming you know every erg score out of the Shore 1st 8 to 2 decimal points if you claim to say that they are best otherwise you wouldn't...

I think it is very naive to say Shore are the masters of washing out and having bad technique and only being able rate high and row hard. If Shore have bad technique then tell me what are the other crews rowing like?? The best way to judge technique is from each schools annual send off video...

It will be intriguing to hear of developments going on at Joeys with a new MIC of rowing taking over this season. It's interesting to hear how Shore and Joeys have mutual respect for each other as this is not the culture that i was aware of between the two schools especially in rowing in recent...

When a non GPS school beats the top 1st VIII, then we can talk R&R

Thanks for that correction. I don't know why RA can't commit to putting an Junior Mens 8+ together. The only thing would be not having enough athletes but i fail to believe this. The quality of athletes i think would definitely be there. Imagine a composite of Scotch, MGS and Shore athletes...

Interesting. Has it been officially announced yet?

I agree i wouldn't say that its a very professional thing to do to either the current head coach or an ex head coach. You pay to attend the school but unlike all girls schools you don't pay to row. There are girls schools rowing sheds in the same predicament as Grammar currently who pay fair...

Thanks for that clarification. I'm being serious. The new convener would not necessarily be from Grammar. Any one have any ideas on who it would be?

I have a question for our new Grammar acquaintance. Will Grammar resort to cheating at HOTR again this coming season by rowing no fours but a 3rd VIII? So lets not start on the whole having no fours plea. Because that was just about the cheapest, hollowest victory i had ever seen in the 3rd...

Very few people would of discovered the regional rowers coming in from Kinross in particular if Newington had raced by the AAGPS by laws of not being able enter those particular athletes until the new school year has begun. Instead they effectively got regional rowers who weren't attending...

Interesting to hear that they are going to Henley. Its really hard to say how well they will go. The competition can be pretty stiff in the likes of Eton, St Pauls, Abingdon and Westminster but i think they have every chance of doing well. Shore did manage to beat Scotch earlier in the year as...

Very interesting. Shore, Newington and High only schools not to have 3rd VIIIs. I believe 2013 was the last year where there was a full field of Year 10 4th VIIIs with every school having a 4th Year 10 VIII. New coach for High is someone called Elliot Shackcloth-Bertinetti who i believe is...

Draw is out for Saturday on RNSW. Really good to see that High have a 2nd VIII this year and Newington to have 3 fours.

Another dominant display from Shore in the Head of the Parramatta today. However you can never read to much into the results as the course and times are quite irrelevant with ferris and washes coming from all angles. Interesting to see the Newington 1st and 2nd VIII's out there today, i would of...
