NSW AAGPS 2017

[rod skellet]

I heard it was a very good team effort from Waverley but Brooklyn Hardaker, Liam Cornish and Ben Donaldson were standouts.

Were there any more you'd give a mention to from both teams?

Moretti, Wright were huge.

To almost complete the round of matches:

Grammar 24 d Barker (2nds) 7

High v Aloysius still outstanding. Anyone know anything?

 

[CatchnPass]

And since you like retrospectives, please let me know in which post I expressed any sort of enthusiasm for these trials?

That would typically be seen as evident in the alacrity with which you joined the tipping comp - few do that for events they are disinterested in.

80-0 to Aloys with game called off just after HT

 

[Jim Belshaw]

For completeness sake, Friday TAS defeated Farrer 64-0.

Ominous for high. Two points a minute is a rather severe spanking

So Waverley v Newigton and Scots v Knox both look to be big games for the coming weekend

I hear that rugby is just about on its last legs there. They have 16A and B and apparently the 16As are reasonable. Possibly only one team in the younger age groups.

I think the High 16As beat TAS 14-13

High should never ever played Aloys. There Rugby should be geared towards to Division 2 ISA. Other schools that High should consider playing are Hunter Valley Grammar, Illawarra Grammar School, Hills Grammar School.
The boys should be able to enjoy Rugby, and playing schools with only one or two teams in their age group is best their Rugby Program.

That's a lesson learnt for the organisers. It seems they're trying to be fair but this one didnt work.

How did Dylan Dowling play? He made Combined States last year as a Year 11 student.

Bit hard to say given dominance of Waverley pack. Waverley halfback did score a sniping try from close in which would have hurt the SJC half. Overall the Waverley half won the day but always hard to tell when one is playing behind a group going forward. Still, the Bell/Donaldson combination looks pretty slick - the advantage of playing together through the years at school.

Was at The Knox v New game yesterday.
Wonderful game of rugby. Knox showed patches of brilliance , ruggedness and skillful speed . Along with the results coming through from Waverley matches each week , cant wait for a combined competition to get going.

Let's not get carried away given 2 of the 15 play extra-curricula league to the best of my knowledge. This year group has been strong throughout and without the injection of scholarship players know each other's play. They play in the traditional high risk running Waverley way but their skill level (and discipline) is such that they are able to decimate teams when it comes off. It won't always (see Kings) but it is a great example of entertaining schoolboy running rugby baed on some aggressive defence work.

It's pleasing to hear Waverley are playing the same confident running style of play as was established last season and which was such a pleasure to watch; and the coaches are continuing to encourage it.

Along with strong defence and plenty of ''mongrel'' the current Waves crop obviously have the skills to make it work.

There should be a decent crowd next week at Death Valley to see them take on Newington.

Good idea. I get your point but you could have left ''The Abbott and Costello'' bit out of it.
Wanting to get rid of CAS posters from the GPS thread is fair enough, but you should reserve that label for your own personal posts.

Yes you are right SLV. This is serious stuff this school boy footy. Absoluteky nothing to laugh about here.... and frankly that's the point and the reason why I and others couldn't be bothered commenting/ contributing as we may have in the past.

Threads have been setup for CAS, AAGPS and all manner of other groups which helps to focus content. These threads do not exclude people from commenting on issues that interest them.

If I could edit the title I would to soothe your sensitivities however I can't. I will ask the mods
