Just been told; three year 10's currently in the View 1sts one just getting a sub 7 apparently, only two of all ergs are under 6:30. Another disaster year for the view boys. Things are looking good for shore!
Surely no-one was fooling themselves that View was a threat to Shore in any division? It's Joeys/Shore with Kings and Grammar in the mix.Just been told; three year 10's currently in the View 1sts one just getting a sub 7 apparently, only two of all ergs are under 6:30.

Tradgic, I've seen him race, superb technique. From what I've heard he took up powerlifting over the sport not tennis, but I don't know the view boys very well. Wish him the best.---BIG NEWS---
Nic 'Rusty Jay' Ryan has withdrawn from the season due to unforseen circumstances. We wish the Riverview powerhouse all the best in the future as he endeavors for a spot in the 1st 5 winter tennis team.
Sadly the forum has descended into sportal territory. Hardly think the 2 seat from 3rd IV that came last in 2013 is an insurmountable loss.---BIG NEWS---

"winter tennis" - that's a joke I haven't heard in years. Wish the forum allowed for actuallyhearing it in the precious tones it used to be pronounced.---BIG NEWS---

He was in the eight, rowed with rob richards at maquarie uni, picked up his game. oh well. Out of the bottom three contenders im sure High has a fighting chance not to come last.Sadly the forum has descended into sportal territory.

Will be a grudge math in heat 2 of the 8's race between View, Scots and Shore. Looks like a fast race which will be undoubtedly decided by all 3 in the final.anybody have any news on crews for the weekend? shore will be prominent considering there large pre-season and existing chemistry, view looks to have a solid line up.
Forget about these view and grammar boys at mosman, there have been more than a few sightings of a eight of just shore boys rowing out of sydney. oh but they surely just play rugby..
Re Shore I note:
1. At least 2 Yr 11 boys from last years winning 2nd VIII have failed to progress to the 1st VIII; and
2. Have a 3rd VIII, which provides competition for 3rd/4th IVs.
Seemingly a very strong senior squad. Will wait for Scots results this Saturday before predicting anything outrageous.
With the lads having just a casual row down at the sydney boat shed
Have to correct you (you probably think Shore automatically wins all the time) but Joeys were the 2013 winning 2nd VIII…. It's too early to pick crews at this stage of the season. There's been little 2km racing and what there has been has been attended by only a few schools. i think all crews have changes up to or past the January camps which is no surprise.
I remind you of the ancient wisdom, "The Head of the River is won or lost in the summer holidays."Apologies on error. Re too early - not so sure - most HOTR winners in last 10 years, apart from 04/05, were evident in the prior November

Definitely not a ticket. But I do like to think before a 2km race has been held all crews are equal regardless of colour or creed! Can't wait to see some form on the track... Be good to see the sculling trials too.winning a 2nd VIII is no ticket to victory in the big one - ever, eh @strokeside?
