The most likely reason is that there would only be one rower from each school with those being Muffet (E) and Ellis (G). This would make it difficult to form combinations, especially in the short time frame as well as the year 12 rowers having other schoolwork focuses.Any reason for the exclusion of Shore and Sydney Grammar? Quality rowers in both.
Who would be the coach?Interesting.... sceptical about how the rowers would be able to gel together however, don't know if just lumping the best eight into a boat would actually produce speed.
Baker (E) and Noonan (I)Who would be the coach?
Well as they would be representing Australia, it would most likely be a coach from the MNTC.Who would be the coach?
Is this confirmed?Baker (E) and Noonan (I)
I doubt that the MNTC would take a coach off their existing crew and onto a schoolboy one. Makes alot more sense to keep with Baker as he is already the King's Cup coach.Well as they would be representing Australia, it would most likely be a coach from the MNTC.

Well, these boys would be 8 of the top 20-ish rowers of the junior rowers in Australia. So taking the 8 best seat racing performances and placing those boys in an 8+ would still move pretty quickly in my opinion.Interesting.... sceptical about how the rowers would be able to gel together however, don't know if just lumping the best eight into a boat would actually produce speed.
No.... speculation as alwaysIs this confirmed?
You could expect to see a few shocks in here, combinations > best rowers would become a big thing. Selection would take alot of time and effort.Well, these boys would be 8 of the top 20-ish rowers of the junior rowers in Australia.

But in reality, that time most likely would not be available. Schoolboy rowing takes up most of the boy's free time and having to continue this rigorous training routine whilst in the middle of their preparation for their HSC exams would be difficult. The selection and training processes will have to be fairly infrequent just as they would be so low on time.You could expect to see a few shocks in here, combinations > best rowers would become a big thing.

I wouldn't mind seeing an U17 Eight.. World Rowing doesn't have an event for that unfortunately but Rowing Australia could introduce an Association Race, that would get a few fans out.But in reality, that time most likely would not be available.

Huxley makes sense. One of the better coaches from the comp from a background you would not expect.Correction! It is composed of Kings, Joeys and Riverview. Not Shore. Composed of only the Kings and Ignatius coaches Noonan (I) and Huxley (K)
Should look a little something like:Correction! It is composed of Kings, Joeys and Riverview. Not Shore. Composed of only the Kings and Ignatius coaches Noonan (I) and Huxley (K)
great people's person, knows how to get people motivatedHuxley makes sense. One of the better coaches from the comp from a background you would not expect.
Is this true? If true poor form from the selectors in my opinion as if it you are good enough to make the 8 you should be in the 8 and not discriminated because of your schoolThe most likely reason is that there would only be one rower from each school with those being Muffet (E) and Ellis (G).
