Because they have won an embarrassingly small number of premierships over the history of the GPS. The lack of success doesn’t sit well with their money bags egos so they buy, buy, buy. They don’t understand that you can’t buy ticker.Why do Scots do this? Why, why, why?

Scots have won more premierships than Riverview, Newington & Shore (apart from their outstanding 2XV success), so don't go there. Every single school always has at least 1 or 2 imported players. And are we forgetting Kings just last year? Every school has them and I'm sure if Scots didn't get Heinz someone else would have.Because they have won an embarrassingly small number of premierships over the history of the GPS.

The premierships seem to have come in a concentrated period, post 93, for some reason. ROIC is underwhelming though. And no, not all schools have 1 or 2 imports. In fact, most schools really have none or occasionally 1 or 2 but never consistently and never forming the basis of the team. There’s only 2 schools that do that.Alright, lads,

But, I agree with @Agent , their team is already looking great and has been playing together for many many years. I find it unfair to the current players and reflects poorly on the school.
Cheers,
No one mentions kings bringing players in? 5 new Gen blue players appearing in their U15 team last year, Must just be by chance though.The premierships seem to have come in a concentrated period, post 93, for some reason.

He's joining in year 11Oh please mate.
Everyone recruits, even joeys. It just a fact of the GPS. Joeys takes the best rugby talent from around NSW catholic primary schools and even high schools every year under the pretense of "country scholarships".
Quite literally every school has done and will continue to do it. I will admit this admission by Scots is particulary brazen consdering he is joining in Year 12, but it sounds like his fees are being paid by his sports managment group. And good him anyway, hes getting the oppotunity of a life time being able to attend one of these schools.
You can bet if this bloke was a big anglo kid from the country the stink being kicked up about it would not be this big.
There’s an awful lot of lads on boys from the bush bursaries that don’t play 1,2,3 or 4’s even…. Wonder why? Could be that they genuinely want to maintain high levels of country boys at the school. A bit like the indigenous program, few of those lads have played 1’s as well. Perhaps there is a genuine interest in providing opportunity rather than stroking ego.Oh please mate.

I know View does not recruit for rugby, or any other sport, I doubt Shore does and am skeptical that Joeys does, but don't know. So lets not say "everyone recruits" because it is not accurate.Oh please mate.

They had a second row in 2019 who was definitely recruited...I know View does not recruit for rugby, or any other sport, I doubt Shore does and am skeptical that Joeys does, but don't know. So lets not say " everyone recruits" because it is not accurate.
Nope, it was not. That's absolute rubbish, most were old boys son's, fathers who were at View in the 80's.They had a second row in 2019 who was definitely recruited...
Nope, you are misinformed. I knew most of the boys who were in the 2019 View 1sts and many of their Dads. No "recruits" amongst them, don't try to sully other schools with your uninformed aspersions, it's poor form.Well then you are misinformed...
Not correct. Riverview does not and never has offered Rugby scholarships. It and Joeys are the only GPS schools that do not.Oh please mate.
