It was a bit closer than that against Ashgrove, they did touch up Pat's though; It was a cricket score alright 85-5 to Barker. Today’s game verses MCA was a lot tighter. The two sides were evenly matched. Barker ended up running away with it in the final quarter 36-17 but the score line didn’t...

4 premierships from 2017 - 2020 and 2nd in 2021 with the best attack in the comp is so-so?

Yeah, GPS had plenty out too with many boys playing up and making a good account of themselves. They were all very competitive games, although I didn't see the 4ths. But then, who cares? Isn't it just good to see the boys having a crack after school? Too many boys give it away. I played with...

True. MCA needs to pick up its game. SLC have set the bar after a decade in the doldrums and other schools need to follow or become also rans. It's really not that hard. Start early and identify talent, get an S&C program for the opens and even 10's and make it compulsory, and actually give a...

Depends if Marist can replicate their form against Padua and Iona, Inconsistency seems to be an issue with them. Pats strengths are in their backs, judging by the CM reports. If MCA can shut them down like they did with ease last year with the so called player of the AIC season, as Andrew...

Big day tomorrow, 3 games that could go either way. Lauries to win in a canter against Pats by 35+ Iona to get home in a close one in Back to Banyo day. So long as they don't give away penalties in the attacking zone. Iona by 7 Danger game for Eddies against a fired up Villa at Villa Park...

Interesting team of the week from the CM. 3 from MCA and 4 from Iona from a squad of 25. Look, it's good they are covering AIC, but would love to know how it gets picked. Assume they rely a lot on coaches input. Not sure what Tasman Barry has to do to get a mention, he was dominant on the weekend.

Great day at Marist yesterday. Good crowd, hundreds of old boys holding up the Cyprian pavilion, and a cracking game. Disappointed for the boys who had their games cancelled at the 11th hour, but glad the firsts got to play around the grounds. Considering the conditions it was a fast open game...

Really? Then why have trial games been relocated for GPS schools to Ippy because TSS fields can't handle it? There was as much rain down there. It's beyond a joke. The argument of safety is null and void. It's about keeping the grounds looking pretty and we all know it. Does my head in,

Sorry lads, just logged on again and saw my post caused a bit of grief. Not my intention. I guess my point was, and admittedly poorly done, after covid there should be every effort to have the boys play, especially the opens. For some it is their last year to represent their schools. The ovals...

Sure, And who funds that large amount of money? Fee pay parents. And then we get precious groundskeepers who want to close the fields when we get a bit of rain. Pathetic. Just do your job, grass recovers very quickly. let the boys play. They want to. I grew up in Canberra and we would have...

Very good to see Eddies up there again. They'll need to bring their A game against SLC but I'm sure everyone else is hoping they pull off an upset. The fact they fielded 4 opens teams on Saturday is a testament to the strength of the current year 11/12 cohorts, although results in the 2nds-4ths...

Eat a bag Nomad. He's got way more class than to go on here and talk himself up. He's got fans, face it. Plenty of posters saying the same thing.

What utter rubbish. Everyone know Heather is a 10.

In saying that, my god SLC were very very good yesterday. The score probably flattered MCA in the end. SLC were obviously confident and composed from the opening whistle, had an obvious game plan and stuck to it. They may have the cattle, but are extremely well coached as well. The Marist...

Brilliant post RB. Nailed it. Success not just in rugby but T&F too. Watch the decline in those 2 sports at MCA now Milesy has gone. With the new head of sports a soccer aficionado things look grim. Maybe Mcmahon oval will have the rectangular posts before we know what has happened. For the...

Agree Analysis, danger signs big time. After dominating the Joeys 2nds scrum they were embarrassed by Villa. Harry Gould is back next week so that should settle things a bit, but sill a big concern. Forget Pat Gavin, he won't be playing. Toby Anderson hopefully will be back. Discipline needs...

And FFS, your spelling and structure is appalling. I don't consider myself a grammar nazi but please get it together, it's embarrassing.

Nope, they have only taken a squad of 25 or so, so pretty much a 1st XV. This won't be a great couple of years for Ash. No back up from year 11's like the last few years, and Harry Gould is on his own in the front row, unlike last year, Doubt Pat Gavin will play too. Copping a few beatings in...
