2024 schools rowing

[RugbyBallEnthusiast65]

Apparently there have been whispers over whether Isaac Fonua will return given his commitments to Rugby, and word on this?

From what I have heard he wants to leave, but has more or less been forced to stay. Similar to the rest of the crew.

Im sure that will do wonders for the morale at the Kings Boatshed!

On the contrary he wants to stay. Looking to balance his rugby commitments so is a watching brief. Last year’s Junior 8 crew were very tight, had a great season and continued to add to the fantastic culture in the shed.
Please do not spread falsehoods about children.

Apparently, we have vastly differing sources. Perhaps someone is pulling my leg. Lets just wait and see (and hope that such a fantastic crew does not fall apart).

Staying on the topic of Shore, their 1st VIII pulled a 6:13.81, far and away their worst result since records at SIRC began in 1999. The only other time that matches near that number was a 6:21.50 in 2006, but yet again the winner of that race pulled a 6:15.20. Heads have got to be rolling considering a program that was as strong and dominant as theirs.

You can't be strong all the time. In the late 80's / early 90's Shore was very strong in the Junior crews but not as strong in the senior crews, esp the eights. Shore has had a lot of success in the recent years. They will be come good again!

Big word out of Shore, sources saying that 1st VIII Coach David Jennings (who has Coached since 2007) will be departing the role to take up a position in the Year 10 VIII's. No replacement has been confirmed (to me at least) but a major change given that he won over 9 Head of the Rivers in His time. Will be interesting to see how this one pans out.

Joeys should be decent, 6 back from last years VIII.

Maybe he needs to get stuck in to develop the younger years for future success in the Opens

I think so, they dominate the year 8 and 9 quads but other schools like kings and Riverview overtake them by the time of year 10

 

[The Chairman]

How many of Riverview's 1st VIII Rowers are returning this year?

1 from the 8 that won HOTR. Another Year 11 was in the crew earlier on in the season.

My mail is Jennings to Yr10 and, drum roll, the inimitable Jason Baker will be coaching 1st VIII!

 

[RushingRob]

Scots has to podium, should have gotten second last year, blew it. The coach has left to go to Shore, we'll see some different results.

I assume Jennings coaching the 1st Yr 10 VIII?, nethertheless that’s a surprise they poached Scot’s coach

Word is Jennings is on the First Year 10 VIII.

Yes to Yr10 and my sources rate JB highly.

 

[rugbyAU]

Anyone know why Jennings not doing the first VIII after 16 seasons, obviously not had the results in the last season but were they looking for someone else?

My sources tell me the move was his call.
