Trueseph if you knew anything about rowing you would know 546 is a very quick time and given the conditions it was always going to be hard to beat again (second fastest schoolboy time ever recorded at sirc). The only reason Shore's margins have been so large at the start of the season the past...

I love it how people have views about sheds they obviously have no insight or affiliation with. Some examples, trueseph by your assumption of shore rowing a 546 and not rowing as fast again you assume they went backwards because they were training over winter. So many people comment on what they...

Surely these so called prodigy rowers can be confirmed via the GPS sculling regatta in which the best individuals compete against one another. Isn't this a good indicator of which school has the "best" rowers?

Maybe you should have just pulled harder Remember 2011?

Sorry for the misunderstanding slide rusher however I just can't stand the thought of this sport being poisoned by importation like many others have in the GPS. And I do agree GDTS was slightly out of touch with the lack of research anyway all to their own. And as for my incorrect spelling...

Slide Rusher before you leap up and down to the defence of newington and the accusations of importing do you know all the facts? I'm not saying I do but I have a very good reason to support the comments made by GDTS as those with close ties to the AAGPS know that all newington crews at HOTR...

Agree shore will dominate the Viii once again and probably the 2nd Viii however the fours will be a different story. The returning boys from the viii and the second viii will be too good for the other schools as well as the Jennings factor.

How are you making your judgment upon the GPS best rower? Are you taking this data from GPS sculling? And what legacy did the 2016 stroke bring to the crew this year that the other returning rowers couldn't have added? And with reference to the last paragraph I'm not sure i understand what you...

I believe IV The Win has a large chip on his shoulder about this year 13 factor as he believes the year 13 factor took away from his chance at success at HOTR 2016. However if he knew a thing or two about winning perhaps he would know that it takes more than 1 to tango. In fact it takes 9 for a...

I agree with Chris F Shore will dominate in both the first and second VIII for the third year running, however my confidence in the fours is limited with the lack of JRN VIII depth as IV the win pointed out. I also agree Kings have a useless opens program and are lacking the tools to produce a...

Obviously your eyes IV The Win weren't to sharp. What a race in heat one for Shore today beating scotch in a blistering time of 547. Conditions were fast but an awesome battle between the two pinnacle rowing schools. Cant wait for the final on sunday, anyone wanting to change their predictions?

Scotch will go into this weekend's nationals as favourites to take out the Barrington Cup in many peoples minds. However i believe the Shore crew has the experience and horse power to take out back to back championships. All will be revealed in a weeks time. I'd love to hear everyone else take...

Well funny all the people who doubted my predictions of Shore's complete domination again this season. Congrats to the shore boatshed for another great display of what hard work and determination can lead to. Also Riverview on another dark horse performance in the viii race making for a great...

Please if losing to another schools 2nd VIII by 5 seconds( shore beat kings NSW champs) and coming 6 at HOTR by 12 seconds isn't getting burned then I don't know what is? You can't justify a few 3rd places at a few regattas including hen and chicken as not getting burned. The competition that...

I completely agree with that statement as should all athletes. However I'm curious as to whether the boys you coach get this message? It's all well and good for the coach to have the right positive attitude but does this attitude resonate with the boys?

Hi Andrew, I would love to gather an insight into how you approach a season that looks as though it's going to be heavily dominated by Shore, Riverview and joeys? Is it hard to keep boys motivated at the inevitable prospect of yet another shore win, how do boys cope with losing by the margins...

Mate get your stats right before your come out swinging, most of them are either 16 turning 17 or 17 turning 18 (year 11/12)? Which from my understanding is a year off being able to drink, vote, not to mention most of them probably have their licence. And how would most of them be stepping into...

Let's not wrap the schoolboys in cotten wool. I'm sure if they can pull their boat down the course at the speeds they do they won't get all red eyed and offended from reading a couple of comments us old farts are saying. They are grown men we shouldn't have to baby them. And what are you meaning...

You make a good point about scholarships however hats in rugby and this is a rowing forum believe it or not. Or are you implying some schools import? This is new to me can you please enlighten the forum with this inside information?

I'm sorry if it came across that way. I was implying with the term spanking that the best of the GPS rowers could show Kinross or whoever wants to challenge them whose best. It's not failing if you lose I'm not sure where that came from. I minor misunderstanding, I completely agree seeing people...
