Joeys takes the cakes in my eyes, a great pie with a good array of sauce.

Does anyone know the lineup for the Shore 16A's team

Better late than never! Not a bad highlight at all, great to see lots of the clips include boys who are continuing this year. I think this week for shore at Allianz stadium will be a big test against Barker, the boys in blue and white will be hungrier than ever to get a result considering the past few trial matches. I'm keen for the game and I'm sure the boys are too.

Are you alright? Kings is a top 3 school in terms of canteen.... dream on champ must be your free period.
In regards to canteens/BBQ I would rank the following
1. Shore (best pies, good BBQ and smiles all round)
2. Joeys (best BBQ, canteen staffed by parents so plenty of smiles)
3. View (good all round with the BBQ quite solid))
4. Scots (pretty good but commercially run. Nothing on the old Blackwatch Cafe)
6. Newington (all round not bad and lots of smiles. Not as many options as others)
6. Kings (Sadly not what is was. Poor BBQ, long wait for food and products sell out quick)

Shore at number 1 is a stretch at most I would have sitting around 3-4

Bit late to the party i know but what has happened to the Scots college, a school who holds themselves to the highest standards of grounds, rugby and behaviour of their boys. For them to be smashed by Auggies in an absolute domination asks the questions surrounding Scots place in the GPS as we've all known for a while who the real bottom dweller of the competition is. I havent been able to comprehend the Scots backing although i know they have a lot of loyal old boys, surely some are starting to see problems regarding the board and overall operation of their school. Some changes need to be made.

My thoughts on the Knox and Shore game.
Shore looks to have a very consistent Rugby program. In two ways. All the teams I saw, admittedly the 1st to 3rds, played a similar style of Rugby. The school looks to have a set philosophy of play across its sides. The teams were also quite consistent in that the difference between the sides is not large. Though the teams obviously improved up the grades I don't think the margin is as great as in other sides. Whereas some schools would a 1st XV that are world beaters, but the 3rds would struggle to work out how to run onto a field to play. If the Shore 1sts played their 3rds it would be a good hard game.
Shore also looked to be tenacious. I think they will evolve into a team that is hard to beat. They are not necessarily flashy, but will hang in and will threaten those who take them for granted. At this stage the 1sts still look to be developing, and I couldn't say whether the strength is in their forwards or backs. Perhaps the forwards. They were also quite clinical - they seemed to get points when in their opponents 22.
Knox needed to concentrate more. Across the three sides they let themselves down with lack of concentration. They could get in front and then ease off. (But in some cases it could have been the pressure put on them by the opposition.) They could be flashy, but a drop in application would let themselves down. The 2nds butchered a few tries if they toned it down a bit. They had done most of the hard work and let it go. I also think some players were a bit casual - especially in the seconds. In defence or chasing a kick you should at least look like running and not having an ethereal stroll.
It is trials so both teams are developing, but if Knox could sustain the intensity they displayed in the first past of the 1sts game they could be quite formidable.
The game was played on Knox's Gala Day. The day where the school community gets out and does things they would normally not do. It was also time for some of the other areas of the school get to show their stuff. Like the music department; which unleashed the majesty of 'rock bands' and musical groups. I must be getting old but when it comes to 'Rock Bands' screaming is not singing. And when the screaming is accompanied by fervorous drummer who appeared to have been feed on only red frogs for the last week it is not pleasant. I have hit more musical notes and tunes lawn-mowing gravel. It says something that the most pleasant musical sojourn of the afternoon, at least to me, was the pipe band.
And to the guy on the PA, yes, the day was about you. It was set up solely for you to display your vocal talents reminding people of the wonderous 'Is it shit or is it for sale' bazaar store evet few minutes. Or trying to get us to sample the delights of such culinary excesses like deep fried road kill smothered in brown (and I mean proper brown) gravy. These things are probably needed at events such as these so one shouldn't be too harsh. But I found it a little tedious. And when the announcement extolling the virtues of the 82nd prize in the raffle came over when the Shore kicker was going for a shot at goal the timing was a little unfortunate.
(However despite my comments, congratulations and a well done for those who did volunteer for the day. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and it was a good thing for community).

Hey Johnno, I have to disagree with you here, the Scots 1sts, 2nds and 3rds were all serious contenders last year. Although these results are concerning for scots, arguably their best 6 players were out: Onitoni, Tom O'Hara, Heinz, Aston Weir, Cooper Guerin, and Agapetos
