His defence is still an issue for mine, his miss on Flanders was horrible.

Instead of Hodge being on the bench and coming on to plug a gap late in the game I’d start him at 5/8, play a disciplined game plan in the 1st half and bring Lolesio/O’Connor/Foley on in the 2nd half to play a more expansive style and shift Hodge to the gap that needs filling.

We might have to chip in to buy him a new laptop first

It was 24-24 with 2 minutes to play, they were brave and tried until the very end.

I was thinking from the points for and against point of view. I’d be interested to know the last time a team winning outright only had +55 and 6th place only -24.

Interesting, I imagine that confirms that it was one of the closest seasons of GPS rugby for some time.

Shore 27- Scots 24 in 1st xv

Shore win with a 40m field goal at the death from their number 10…27-24

Oh dear, you could see the aftermath on Cluch, a number of people lying on top of each other, it looked nasty but didn’t see how it happened.

Looked like a small grandstand railing collapsed at the end of the Joeys View game and some people fell from a fair height…hoping everyone’s ok

I hope old Matty from Riverview is allowed to put on his goal kicking masterclass at halftime again at Leichhardt. He was in good form last week, just fell a bit short from the 22m line a couple of times. I hadn’t seen him before but he seems like a legend and the only halftime entertainment...

Agree, the 5-3 loss to Joeys was crucial. They would regret not winning that game, considering Joeys had 2 yellow cards that day.

I’m sure you could get some handy contributions from others on here to help fill the gaps…and a few sales as well!

You need to write a book Joker…the last 100 years of GPS or something like that.

Agree, I’ve watched some of their games on Cluch and been quite impressed with them this year, I think a couple of the players made GPS teams as well so they’re favourites for mine.

Thanks for the insight EF, by the sounds of it my empathy has been misplaced.

TAS has a lot of boarders and kids that board typically travel enormous distances at the start and end of every term, long weekends etc. So to add another 70-80 odd hours highway travel to that load to play 3rd XV rugby must be tough and not as rewarding as it was in the past. That’s why I said...

I do get the historical aspect and appreciate that your father would have loved competing against the best athletes of the day but in rugby they don’t get the chance to test themselves against the best and I just feel for the kids in year 12 spending time on highways that could be better spent...

Can’t help but feel for the TAS kids. It’s got to be close to a 20 hour round trip by bus to get to their games in Sydney (or 16 hours by car). Must make studying for their HSC a lot harder. I get the prestige of playing in the GPS competition is important for the school but I’m not so sure how...

just double checked and the schedule says 12pm: SIC 16A’s vs Grammar 16A’s 12.30pm: Shore 16A’s vs Grammar 16A’s 1pm: Shore 16A’s vs SIC 16A’s All of them are scheduled for the same oval at Northbridge suggesting a mini tournament of sorts so I guess you will need to treat the halves as full...
