Shore 1st VIII- the first GPS crew to break 6 minutes this season.
Can't wait to watch them choke again (kidding). But its the time on the day that matters mate.
Shore 1st VIII- the first GPS crew to break 6 minutes this season.
Mate I don't know where you have been all season to suggest those final positions, 1- Scots will be lucky to place top 3 in the first 8 unless they pull a riverview or Shore catch a crab. 2- According to Rowing NSW, Newington has won the last 4 gps races and are top of the GPS pointscore in the 2nd 4 event. Have you even watched any 2nd 4 races? The only race riverview has even come close to winning was yesterday at the gold cup where they lost on their own course.
Mate it’s an opinion...not an argument... let’s wait and see.What form has riverview been in to suggest they will win 2nd 4
What form has Riverview been in to suggest they will win 2nd 4
Riverviews program is designed to peak at HOTR. Last years win in the 1st VIII was no accident. They were running between 5 and 15 seconds behind Shore all year yet had it won at the 1500m mark!. In fact in last years HOTR all View crews performed well above the form they had coming into the event. So beware a View crew that has been running 4th/5th all year as they might just spring a surprise. I am with RowingFan - they will spring surprises in the IVs as well.
And one last point.the Riverview VIII under coaching Mike Doyle has a worst finish of 2nd since be started running the show. Came 2nd in the big one in both 2016 and 2017 by decreasing amounts before wining in 2018.
My prediction..View to win at least 3 races at this years HOTR.
Unfortunately I've got to disagree,
Although River View rowed a good race in 2018 HOTR, its not as if they were a better crew than Shore by the end of the season.
I think its safe to say if RiverView and Shore both rowed at 100% and had no mess ups/faults that we all know what the outcome would be. This is not taking away from Views HOTR win as it is about who rowed better on the day but targeting all these Ignatius fan boys that believe this is some sort of end of season magic fairy dust were no matter what position they are coming throughout the season (even gold cup) they will turn out on top (with no real evidence to prove otherwise apart from 2018 - which occurred once in the past 40 years)
My Predictions 85%Shore/15%Scots to win 1st VIII, and Shore to take out 2nd VIII. Not sure about the IV's, their has been to much movement each race to know.
See you all out there,
