I know Scots are right next door to Bondi Junction but culturally would New or Kings be a better home for these kids away from home? Avoid all those eastern suburbs shenanigans

Keep these up please Jim, great write up and a breath of fresh air.

Great write up as always thanks INP

Would this be the year group that coincided with the new principal which the school listened to the old boy group on?

Big weekend today. Scots could be a banana peel for Kings, and will be a significant hurdle for whoever does not get the points between View and New which should be cracker. Hopefully the Shore boys recover

I like him as a kid and player, know him from the junior club rugby days, but surprised at the ongoing selection of Gough. I know he was in last year so would be expected this year but, against two fairly inoffensive Kings backlines last year and this, I have not seen him do much at all to...

GPS thoughts Front row - Kings and View should dominate, New members out Second row - reasonable depth across the schools, no clear stand outs. Likely find some backrowers like Fonua end up here - though I rate him as an 8. Back row - depends on what shape they're after. Plenty of talent. Be...

Yawn. For someone who contributes so heavily you contribute so little.
