I am no Joeys supporter and I certainly do not look on this news with excitement, however as 'unethical' as it is there is nothing you or anyone else can do as it is inherently legal. Their hungry for the Rennie, and you can't blame them, rowing success is something I wouldn't say is common...
With the pathetic performance that was head of the river this year, I don't think a clean out of the VIII would hurt Scots. Seventh for a crew with their resources and pedigree is pretty disappointing, and I am sure even more so for supporters of the school and their shed.
Predictions for the CSB8+ at Nationals?
In terms of the win I see a number of possibilities:
- Could Joeys hold off the hounds and continue their relentless streak after HOTR?

That was a great race, the opening regatta, Shore losing...
Mate, you are on level 2. If I'm not mistaken that would only be one above Mr Johnny Ringo. It is your bad and I hope that you will in fact settle down.
Good on you Champ.
