Evening TB, Sure will be an interesting match up, putting Riverviews depth to the test, Also, I'm shore they will have a strong 3rd XV, however, seems like there has been no chatter about them. Might be a dark horse, will be tuning into the streams to find out. Regards, TDO.

Evening, TheBlumpkinEnthusiast, alias "TBE". Hear a lot about Jahromi over the past years playing and improving in his positions (moving up squads over time), Very unsettling news, (Asked the young pup when he came home from school this evening) can confirm. An odd decision from the...

Hello, alias "Giddy up". Warm welcome to the forums. Great to hear, SBHS looks like they're building from the roots. TDO.

Completely agree. The commitments to rugby will spill over into organisation of their studies and time management at school, an essential life skill. TDO.

Salutations, "BGNP". Those that are talented will succeed and education for those who are all about rugby have other ways to get into university. Bonus ATAR points, Elite Athlete Programs. TDO.

H, couple of points here. The fact that it is a selective school really inhibits their depth in opens footy compared to Joeys and the like. Can been seen with Grammar. Two points: - No boarders; no numbers, less numbers if anything - Selective; study focused, not sport focused and more...

BG, I don't believe the forum needs change, just the competition would be much better if our old schools would be equally matched throughout. TDO.

H, TDO here. Completely agree, just stick with the formula that has always been in the GPS, hard work. Other than View or Joeys each GPS school is taking a different approach. Scots - Money, advanced coaching, sports programs regarding collating talent (not a bad thing, gives less...

Greetings, alias: "BlueGumNationalPark" conversely, "BGNP". "The Joeys Bandwagon" is just created by them being ahead of their game, undertaking new forms of running rugby rather than being the biggest on the field. It is only a matter of time other GPS contenders "catch up", thats all it...

On this point, yes joeys have adopted this form in their play style. i.e. More running rugby. With the rest of the GPS following suit with some schools applying athletics training comprised with gym sessions, i feel as though Joeys have a "headstart" on these concepts being in front of other...

Greetings, Alias: "ItsNotPink", "INP" respectively. Yes witnessed this game, Absolute stunner by both, and yes was a dustbowl; Would've been Views for the taking if Bird and Cressey were within the team I believe, Nevertheless, it was extremely windy up there at 4th field. Cordially, TDO.

I agree TME, was a nail-biter nevertheless and the late afternoon game fitted the theme perfectly with "technical difficulties" of the fallen post. One for the ages, great performance by both sides. TDO.

Greetings Joker, Thoughts on O'Kane moving from 6 last year to 8 i hear now. Will test his ability to move the ball from behind the scrum and the vital link on set pieces coming off a scrum. Thoughts? TDO.

My, My... He really did make something out of nothing there. No support as well.

Agree TME, View 3rd XV coming off the back of a win against scots, if they bring that momentum to Joeys sure to be a cracker. TDO.

Hammer, TDO giving correspondence. Regarding the O'Kane tree and their prowess, I believe Henry is the only one. Joker? Can you confirm? TDO.

Salutations TB. I happen to believe that the loss of Matthew Madgewick and Jack Faddy will hurt their rugby program. However, Finn Hancock is apparently in form, just like many of the rowers. Of course, i'm talking about opens. I'll keep digging. TDO.

Morning, alias: "The Business" Was admiring Views no. 1 this early morning when dropping the pup to school. The fields do look pristine, I'd say the groundsmen are getting bored. TDO.

Evening, alias "The Business" Would love to see these games on regardless of the weather. Time to get the jerseys dirty i say. Wouldn't hurt to have some good mileage on their respective fields, not like they're being used by many teams every weekend and give the groundsmen some work...
