The Holden Cup (Nat U20's) has on a regular basis has out rated Super 15 - Including apparently, cumulative results for all of last year!

Debate getting a bit hostile – all adds to the enjoyment of reading the posts! However to all Scots ‘supporters’........ The current problem/issue has nothing to do with the name of your school and who likes you and who doesn’t. This is NOT an anti Scots debate or issue. So why Scots...

Most people hold the view that New & Scots have entered the arms race to gets bums on seats - winning a GPS Rugby title apparently is fantastic for enrollments. Last years New Year 7 is the largest ever in the Schools history (over 230), so apparently it works - what I love about that year is...

To all that those that have responded to Dodgy - myself included! I do not believe that Dodgy believes what he writes - how could he! Therefore I think he keeps posting for one of two reasons 1. He tells his mates - you should see how easy it is to get up the nose of the guys on Green & Gold...

I didn't make my point well - the point is that they do not just offer random 'Scholarship's', to boys that just happen to be good sportsman - it is planned and premeditated - "We are a bit weak up front - go out and find me some front rowers" etc Good luck in the HSC!

Freddo - this is exactly what IS happening - hence the problem. They (Scots & New) have people attend NSW rep games and proactively identify and chase particular boys - they even go as far to be position 'selective' - eg we need another back rower. One boy as I have said before was serenaded...

Dodgykneee, I appreciate that you must love Scots - and that is great - but as they say 'Love is blind' Just getting back to Lambert and his 61 likely breaches of the GPS code of conduct - whilst this is an average of (approx) 10 per year, it is probably worth noting that the break up is more...

The Lambert letter..... It did not find a breach - however it did not find that they have followed the Code of Conduct - to find if a breach occurred he would have needed to interview the 61 'good sportsmen' - something which he did not do. If he had interviewed them (probably any of them!) a...

What is grey about it? "Our responsibility as school masters is to work with the clay we are given and to make the best possible outcome for our boys." Pretty Black & White to me. Lambert can fix it simply, easily and quickly if he wants

More heads meeting 'rumours' (I was not present!!!) Basketball will be a one round comp - last Saturdays first round is now a trial, as are the next 3/4 games - I gather the logic is to give more time for resolution and for Lambert to come into line The gang of 5 will decide individually if...

If its true as told, then maybe Cricket (4 titles in 6 years) and maybe Rugby (2 x 2ndXV titles) - back in the days when Cricket was almost as prestigious as Rugby! Maybe poor Scouts - or maybe as High can relate bringing in 2 or 3 great Rugby players doesn't help, if you don't have reasonable...

Dear Dodgyknee I would like to clarify some of my thoughts for you – thoughts that a number of other people in this forum – but more importantly many teachers, parents and students at these schools may agree with. This is not anti Scots or New – I think it is fantastic that some of the...

I can only assume you work at Scots - They are not False - not hearsay and not rumour - It is a FACT. I am happy for them to say 'we know we have broken the rules but so does everybody else (not that I would agree with 'everybody') but for them to say they have not broken the rules is just...

I agree fully They need to reaffirm the current rules OR write some new (black & white) ones and then each and every school needs to adhere to them - no exceptions. See my post 3037 for my suggested 'new' rules.

Quick Hands – I agree fully with your above post – and add the following.... Get off GPSRow’s back people – or anybody else that makes a spelling or geographical error – this is a Scholarship thread – does a spelling error warrant comment! And NO I am not pro Newington. I am Pro GPS and...

the problem is that Lambert is saying they are not for sport - when we all know they are!

I agree fully The odd thing is that some current rules seem to be followed without exception - the most obvious one being turning 19 - ie it is against the GPS rules to play any GPS sport if you are turning 19 that year. i have never thought that rule was overly fair - a boy who turns 19 on...

If you read the various posts I have made on this thread I am clearly not a Scots 'mole'. I hope I have not been sucked in to unwittingly helping them. As for [Quick Hands above] Unfortunately world domination brings with it people who think that way. A sad indictment of the mindset promoted...

I have heard a rumour - only a rumour - that Lambert is not entirely happy with the interim findings of his 'independent' expert. As the story goes, they are providing more information, to hopefully change this. As an aside possibly this Forum does need a moderator! - Again it has been...

I was not making that elevation - I was making the point that they are kids not men. A handful to me is 2 or 3 - not 20 or 30, which would be how many boys at Newington have missed out on higher representation from Newingtons 2013 year 12 (in all Sports - 13 or 14 in Rugby alone). That year was...
