Heads Up I am going to have a rant !! I am bored reading this forum at the moment.
Reading, writing and arithmetic! Do they actually still teach students these basic skills at schools - I am not perfect far from it but I do try my best to construct sentences use spell check and generally read information that is provided on topics I am interested in.

"love the gossip, innuendo and unconfirmed scandal of this site. Like others. I will go the merciless ridicule or provocative speculation without hesitation. It's fun, like BS-ing in the pub"
Where is that now?
So far we have
deez ebola nuts - Who I think is actually nuts - like BTS said What are you smoking?
rower for life - asked about Joeys IV's when Oarsome posted the results from Rowing NSW website on this forum. All the results are posted on Rowing NSW website for the whole world to read. Thank you for posting them Oarsome by the way.
RowingLAD101 - "I was on the Parramatta all mornings" Let's hope your resume is well written and you present well in interviews in the future. I suggest you get a mature pair of eyes to edit your resume it before you submit it to any future employer.
At the end of the day - to the best of my knowledge there is a program that generates the draws and there is a formal procedure to change or substitute rowers in crews. AAGPS rowing coaches also use this program to allow the draws to be produced. But sometimes the changes / substitute's are not entered into the program or the actual program has been printed ready to be sold at the AAGPS Regatta's. So unless you know every young rower from every school and what they actually look like we as onlookers will never actually know who is what boat. Crews might have changes due to illness and or injury. Even a good set of Bushnells will not help people like me.
I don't claim to know much about anything really but I have heard that in January Rowing Camps all the boys will have to trial again for seats in boats. Truth be told right up until 12/03/2016 things can change.
I am interested in race plans - do the coaches work out a couple and do they change them every GPS Regatta - last year I am sure each coach would have studied the oppositions race plans - so do they change them this year? - do they have more than one play so to speak? - the best defence is a good offence!
You cannot lift the rating and expect an VIII to respond immediately they are bigger and heavier than a IV. A IV will respond quicker to a call from the cox. Do the schools have cox training - after Saturday I hope so. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line or has that changed as well ??
Technique versus grunt of the big rugby players - the boys who played rugby could pull a good erg but they might have short little arms and look like egg beaters thrashing in the water.
Had my rant - the Race that stops the Nation is not far away better find my fascinator ! I guess it will not be long before the race that stops all the rowing parents of the AAGPS schools will be hear.
Would love to hear from MR and Barry - last year seemed like there was more substance to consume in the Forum - where is the little pig - hope he has not been slaughtered - somebody should have saved him like Babe!
