Do you mind expanding on what was said?

Like mentioned numerous times throughout this thread, cutting teams from the Shute Shield is not the right option. Gordon have the right personnel throughout the club to get them out of this tough period. With the new board, new sponsors (UTS) and with Tony Dempsey already planning next years...

I don't think that the CAS has the depth or quality of teams to match it with the GPS. You mentioned "joeys vs knox" is a previous post, Knox are on the verge of losing more games than they have one this year. They struggle for a win against Cranbrook. Joeys would put 50 on them. The only team...

Manly had a huge rivalry with Gordon throughout the years with that age group. Gordon had the likes of Luke Jones and Nick Stirzacker in that team. If I recall that only Gordon Juniors that have remained with the club are Luke Rissman, Hugh Cropley, Erik Moss and Jim Handlin. Gordon and Manly...

Eastwood have had a gun line up over the years and I'm dumbfounded at how there have been so many uni players picked over these Eastwood boys. Don't get me wrong these uni boys deserved the opportunity and most of them have done well since joining a super rugby side. But players like Hugh...

Shore pride themselves on not handing out scholarships and have provided the best possible coaches to their players to develop them. A lot of the 'specialist' coaches are also old boys that come back to help out. I don't see much wrong with this and seems to be the best option other than...

What about James Willan? Played Aus schoolboys, Toyota Cup for Cronulla and then played a year of colts at Gordon and is valued at zero points? This is only his second year at uni? Tom Boidin has played for the Brumbies and is at zero points. Greg Jeloudev aus schools and aus 7s and is at zero...

Can someone please explain how uni 1st grade only managed to total 18 player points after using the whole 23 players on Saturday against Gordon when Gordon's total was 30? How are so many of their players worth 0 points?

Congratulations to all schools that won the respective races yesterday. In particular to Shore for winning the 1st VIII. Great to see Joeys have their best overall performance in years. Looks like Bob Shirlaw has already made a significant impact throughout their shed. I thought Newington would...

David Jennings is still there (won 4/5 of the last Major Rennie's). Gary Uebergang is still there. All the quads coaches have remained the same for the greater part of a decade. And the year 10 VIII's seem to be pretty strong as well. New staff such as Peter Murphy and Geoff Stewart are...

The Shore 1st VIII of 2004 went through the whole season undefeated including winning the Gold Cup over Sydney Uni. They were also national and state champs and also took out the NZ U19 and U21 champs. No other GPS school has won the Gold Cup since and the last before that was Riverview in 1997...

I believe that this is also one of Kings' best results in years as well. I was just looking on Shore's website and found that 121 boys received an ATAR over 90, thats 59.6% of the year group. Phenomenal considering they are a non-selective school (and also don't have many asians [not to be...

Congratulations to the Newington 1st XV - Undefeated GPS Champions. It's great to see that now Scots and Newington are up there with the big 4 schools now making the majority of the games competitive. About 5 years ago Scots and Newington were generally a given win for the big 4, but now these...

I'm pretty sure every team across Sydney on the weekend would have been advised to punch it up in the forwards and play boring rugby. Can't see many outside backs from any games on the weekend playing a big role. Clearly it was a close game and could have gone either way but full credit to Shore...

You cannot say that knox could have won this game with a score line like that. Allowing a team to put 27 points on you in the first half shows that you already suffer from a poor defensive effort. And a 15 minute lapse can not account for a loss either with that many points on the board. Also...
