Looks like a great game for spectators, maybe not so good for the coaches. Also, is that Rob Black I see in the #6 jersey. Him playing first grade for Kings (regardless of how poor their season has been) is truly remarkable after representing Australia in rowing earlier in August. Looks like...

With one of the biggest games of GPS rugby in many years coming up this weekend (Scots vs New obviously) I thought I would make my triumphant return to the forum and give my prediction and also shed light on some issues. Whilst it's unfortunate that schools like Joeys and Shore are suffering...

Sorry that FW has been out of action for a while, but as you may have realised when there are no GPS games being played I go into a state of hibernation. As we go into the third GPS game of the season, it does seem clear that Newington have put their hand up as competition favourites, with...

Any news on the Riverview Number 8 (Hunt I think)? Never good to see a player go down with a neck injury.

A 15 all DRAW, with Newington slotting a penalty in the last minute to tie it up

Taane from New has to be an obvious pick, having represented NSW on the wing last year, not too sure about the other wing, sounds like Cohen from SJC has been playing some good footy? That's a bit of a bolter though.

Will be interesting to see if selectors go for 'specialist' wingers, or they put various other backs in there.

New got up 48-5 against Kinross. It looked like it was going to blow out to a cricket score but the boys from the West showed some fight, making New look ordinary at times. 2nds were impressive getting up against Stannies 1s. Newington vs Riverview is shaping up to be a cracker. Side note: any...

To all the Riverview boys posting on this thread, You are not doing your team any favours constantly posting about how well they are going to do this year. All you are doing is increasing the already high expectation that is being put on these young boys. By saying that boys like Hutchinson...

From all accounts the bye has had a big off season and is looking forward to coming down into the 3rd XV competition. It's no secret that attack has never been a strength of the bye, but they are looking to improve this as they have recently employed a new attacking coach, Brian Ye. I think that...

How's Kellaway going at #10? I'm still interested by that one...

'Pretty much just muscle' might be a bit generous, but you're right he should be looking at a big season. There has been much hype around him ever since his U13s days, so this year may be his opportunity to prove himself in the opens competition. With a few good games in the early rounds I...

Honestly, if you think that him playing Harold Matthews rugby league is enough to make him a good opens rugby player, think again. Considering Joey's played Deegan up (and rightfully so) when he was in 16s, I would trust their judgement of when a young talent is ready for opens. A lot of boys in...

I agree with you GPSrow. I think that at the end of the day, Newington has to be applauded for improving their entire rugby program. Whether this is a result of imports or not is not for me to say, but at the end of the day the results have been carried through the agegroups (mostly) and there...

In regard to the new structure of the competition: I'm not entirely sure if I'm correct in saying this but here is how I understand it so far (please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) The 1sts and 2nds play a home and away competition with two competition games against each side, whilst...

Could Ned Hanigan (Joeys) fill in your missing 2nd row spot?

All rumours from Stanmore are that Lussick is looking to play at 9 this season so that he can open up more representative windows for himself. This would push him to 9 and open up room for the likes of Deegan at 10. With not even a season of 1sts rugby under his belt, Emery is not ready to be...
