Would that be
The Eastern Bloc Grammar
The River Warriors Riverview
The Hill Fort Scots
The Intellects High
The Fibros King's (fuck me, INCOMING!)
The Country Knockers Joeys
Will Grammar get a place? I really just hope Shore gets knocked off the top spot, i dont care if it is by The Eastern Bloc, the River Warriors, The Hill Fort, The Intellects, the Fibros or the Country Knockers, just someone please do it.
Perhaps we can discuss bribing ASADA not to test our Newington and Joeys rowers? hehe
Wolf Out.
Have to say afters are a waste of time. Either you're jubilant and buggered or despondent and aggro or liable to buggering up. The real crews will focus on the race and not worry about frivolities. Looking forward to the posturing about the NSW Schoolboy Regatta and whether that is a bellwhether regatta.so, now heading into the final weeks of preparation for the boys, the questions among the rowers seem to be straying of to "who is having an after". As a father myself, I’m not too happy with the idea, just wonder if there is any intel on which schools are allowed to have it, which are not, which are forced into having a dinner, and which schools have prepared one already. I know back in the day it was a big thing held on the old parra bank, but not sure if Im so keen nowadays especially with such rivalry and occurrences like poor Liam Knight.
Thankyou. Now that you've told me we're in with a chance my heart is racing. Whilst obviously Shore are still favourites, and they've got a lot of history behind them, while we've got a lot against us, I'm a hopeless optimist. The celebrations that Joeys old boys would have after a win would be unlike anything seen before on this earth.
Newington after beating Scotch in the heat of the U21 Mens 8+ on the weekend has left spirits high, even though it was blatant that Scotch rated 24 for the last 300m. Ignorance is bliss. Culture will have to change for New to have a chance with keeping up with the big boys with their short finishes and v-splash catches leading to no loss of momentum at the catch and increased acceleration and propulsion.

In the VIIIs?The old days on the banks of the Nepean starting fires under cars were so much more civilised.
I hear some changes in the 'view shed after marching orders given to one rower.
dont knowIn the VIIIs?
Scots were up on the Nepean AGAIN. They've obviously started their rowing radio silence camp early aiming to blast the other crews from the shadows.what a day! Shore continued to show that they're the number 1 contender, with Kings stepping up to 2nd place from 7th earlier in the season and Joeys back to 5th. No sign of the scots 1st 8. Newington pretty strong coming home 3rd.
Thoughts on the results?
The only crew that is consistent is Shore. Their idea of foxing is just winning. Pretty cunning plan, I reckon. Joeys slipped way off the pace but that may be a blip as they have posted times 10 sec faster. Kings have finally pulled their finger out. I think they have decided they just don't want to finish seventh any more. Scots are foxing all over the place and training under the cover of darkness. Riverview are a force to be reckoned with and Newington are hitting a better form. Grammar are still chasing the peloton but could breakaway if the conditions are right. Suspect there may be a bit of illness here and there. Two weeks is a long time in rowing. Beware!what a day!
