I am somewhat surprised that a few of these teams made it, especially Joeys, but I think it's a good top 4, and they all deserve to be there. I am attempting to find out who one as I write this.
No flu, he's in Melbourne for the National Debating Carnival between all the states. NSW are through to the grand finals tomorrow against Victoria - fingers crossed that the good guys get up.
I think this gives Joeys a huge leg up that every other team in the competition would be very envious of.
Out of interest, what happened in the 2006 gf?
I don't want to speculate on results, but I'd find it hard to tip against Grammar in a final.
That's quite an interesting argument. From my experience the class of 2014, across NSW, is very strong. Having 8/13 in the NSW top 13 both this year AND last year, when they were in year 11. Generally speaking the split if 6/6 between year 11 and 12, so to dominant it on either side is quite significant. However, I do think that within the ISDA competition the standard isn't overwhelmingly high. For some reason the state talent is distributed equally between ISDA, FED, Archdale, and CHS at this stage, though come GPS 2 of the 4 will be in the same comp.
