You are correct, however strangely enough I am not opposed to scholarships. What gets my goat is the schools which happily trade on the GPS name, agree to the GPS rules and then offer scholarships. In many jurisdictions this would be called corrupt conduct! If everyone was allowed...

You have conveniently forgotten a few other GPS schools. Your arms race has had a significant role in the demolition of rugby at Sydney High and Grammar. What about the boys at these schools who can play? They have been sent to the rugby scrap heap. They are the real victims of all this...

as some type of commodity by the school with no regard for their development or education. The remaining schools in Sydney GPS all play competitive and close games and with a 2 round comp it will be a very tough competition. I highly doubt there will be any blow out scores. So no overly...

Have I been asleep? Which round will be played next? Where is the table?

Gee I thought there were 9 GPS schools in the comp you believe the other three schools have zero talent. A narrow misguided view at best. The fact that other schools don't have enough cattle to play in the top grade does not mean there is no ability in any of the 3 other schools. There are...

Nice footwork and shameful defence leads to crowd pleasing try

Seriously this is a load of rubbish. There is nothing good about a competition with differing entry criteria. Yes Newington and scots are wonderfull teams but they excelled in a competition that is not level. The NRL product is leaving rugby in its wake. This level competition has been achieved...

GPS rugby is doomed in 2013 the idiots who have taken away the amateur schoolboy game have won. In doing so they have destroyed the competition. I hope they enjoy playing against the mirror! I am sure the trophy will gleam.

Appreciate the considered approach here. Totally agree the conveyors have some issues to work to do to improve this.

Fairly poor form to alter the text of a quote to suit your fairytale!. Rather than suggest as you do later that Grammar were afraid of BIG boys others may think that Newington had heard the Grammar 16's were improving. During the 13-15 yrs these team were close. It would not fit the image to...

Before you all get nose bleeds from sitting on you high horses why don't you define what you hope for over the next few years, or even just 2013. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Not sitting on a high horse at all. I expect improvement - this is case you have not had the chance to notice...

So that the FACT that the team that newington sent got beaten by Grammar does not count just because of what? Newington supporters dont like the truth? This forum is destined for the rubbish bin if there is not more decency in the world than that. Your table is false. Stand up and take it...

Your Table is incorrect. Grammer defeated Newington 22-0. If Newington chose to send some 16 B players that is their issue. You should not deliberately distort the facts. The points shoud be in the diff.

This is may be seen as a meanspirited or blinkered view. I accept your consession to "ticker" however it is inadequate in the circumstance. It is sad that a forum about a great game is polluted by such an extreme view. I actually watch them carefully and think there are some who have...

Agree It was not a pretty sight. The real question is how does Grammar go foward. Do you think there is enough in the 15's and 16's to continue on. Or is it time to pull out of firsts or whole GPS comp?

Not from what I have seen. The #10 has been outstanding leading this team.

The usual grammar #10 played. He is the captain.

Interesting about Grammar, maybe some of the other schools will withdraw students from the HSC for the same reason!! We should not lose sight of the importance of education. All boys attending GPS schools have a wonderful opportunity. These schools provide a diversity of high quality...

Excellent point of history. However that was back when rugby was an amateur sport. Now even schoolboy rugby is more like professional sport.

Why would New do this? The Grammar A's and Newington A's have been very closely matched over the previous 3 years?
