Condolences to Mr. Wendt if he lost a great uncle George recently... ;) Feels like we all did, Cheers.

Just a quick thank you to INP for another season of well thought out and researched pre and post match 3rds reports, they are greatly appreciated. Hope all enjoy today, in the final GPS match of the year. Good luck to the Royal Blue & White Wolves doing battle at the Hunters Hill Gulag.

Agreed. I know there has been a lot of talk about New being unlucky with injuries, which I am sure is a valid point, but a school has to have depth. Depth of quality players is needed for a 2 round comp.

Slight correction Joker, Riverview 1st XV are Outright Premiers in 2025, there will be no sharing. Well done to Riverview for taking out the 1st VIII HOTR, State and National titles and AAGPS 1st XV Rugby as Outright Premiers, with one spare match remaining.

3rds scores?

Flying Pigs at Northbridge is a thing? The rugby this weekend will be at View, where there will be more chance of Dave Gilmore performing live at Riverview before the 1sts match than Shore pulling off an upset. Shore have a tight grasp on the spoon composed of lignin and cellulose once again...

T'was a favorite smoko of Roland Roll-a-Door, of Roland's Roll-a Door's Roll-a-Doors.... Well done View, solid wins Saturday over some tough competition.

Viking axes remind me a little of Churchie's crest;

Yes I am aware of a few to go through, its about the right age gap, either a Dad or uncle maybe? Both Tancreds are/were very good forwards.

Is George Tancred's Dad, Tom, from the View 1996 premiership side?

Chairman may have already covered the View teams, thanks Chair', below is a visual confirmation.

Nice work Joker, I was going to look at 1964 for View, I know it was a successful sporting year, taking out some of the IV's as well as the VIII in Rowing, undefeated 1st XV Rugby and winning the Athletics. Interesting regarding the cricket season, or lack there of..

Riverview could be the first AAGPS school to win the 1st XV Rugby, Rowing; HOTR, State, National and Henley schoolboy VIII titles, all this year. Long season remaining in a tough comp', regardless, the boys maneuvered themselves into a great position. Go View!

2018 had drunk old boys from the Gulag at HH storming the field to lay some hits on a few View schoolboys in the XV, when the post came down, nothing to be proud of there. It had had an affect on the players and the outcome. Pink & blue coloured glasses indeed. 2003 was a nail biter, great...

Thanks Joker, so with the View/Kings bracket, do you mean +22 instead of +12?
