Think you’ve picked a good side.
Just have to wait and see who the bolter is.
That’s your side so I’m not going to say who should/shouldn’t be in there but IMO Large will be up there for GPS 1sts.

Since when does this come into GPS selections? Bassingthwaite is signed with the Roosters. Fittler (Roosters) and LeMaitre (Souths) were both selected this year, while under contract with their clubs.
for what it's worth I'd go

Signed through post school or play SG Ball, Harold Matthews?
Big difference.
I understand they don’t want to pick kids in state sides that have signed NRL contracts but the age stuff in league isn’t the NRL. It’s no different to playing for Eastwood or Randwick in the State Champs at that stage.

I don't think the new tackle height will be strictly enforced, I guess that refs will be stricter about tackle height but most won't consistently penalise tacklers for hits around/ just above the sternum. Will be interesting to see how it affects 1st XV comp.

Tend to agree. You can perform a great hit on the upper chest that shouldn’t be punished in my opinion but it’s the risk of stuffing it up they are removing in time.
It will ensure any time you go above the shoulders and touch the head you will get at least a yellow without any argument.

Anyone know of any trial fixtures?

Was going to ask when schools released schedules, Scots typically get fixtures out by early term 1, hope to see some CAS VS GPS trials this year, Scots vs Waverley always a great fixture which hasn't been played since 2018, Scots VS Knox has also produced some memorable matches, the 2 Scottish schools in Sydney.

Scots play two trial games. Game 1 V Stannies and game 2 V Barker.

2018 Scots v Waves one of the favourite schoolboy games of all time. Classic rivalry, coupled with heaps of big names in both teams that day.
Go getyerselfalife has a good recording of it on YT.

2 very talented teams, big crowd as well. Shame there's no game this year, would be a great match in the 16A's 2 teams with big forward packs and lots of talent.

These rules will only increase concussions. Having worked at NRL clubs the doctors data showed most concussions resulted from the tacklers head hitting the ball runners hips or knees. Concussions from actual contact from tackler’s arms to the ball runners head was a small percentage. The lower you force the tackler to target the more the ball runner will use hips, knees and arm/elbows to break the tackle. Rules are an absolute joke

I’d throw in second row Phoenix Graham (I) very tough player who is having a big preseason. Further flanker Johannas Logan (J) who proved last year he’s a top 1st XV player.
Don’t know how they’d make room for Logan with that gun back row. Shame both flankers have the name ahead of him.

The data from the trial says the opposite:
64% reduction in head on head contact
23% reduction in concussion

Trial showed a reduction in concussions. Can't compare rugby league to rugby union when rugby league never teaches good tackle tecnhique.

2024 the year to win. Can someone please submit a link to the draw for all teams, can’t seem to find it on the GPS website. Sorry for my lack of posts as of recently, been enjoying a nice holiday.
