Thanks Jonny. And what year are you in at Shore?

I believe the U14A's had a win in the Riverview trial

Always alot of talk of potential in this group. The fact of the matter is results don't lie. Alot of teams have alot of potential, but then one injury, or an unfamiliar opposition and it all comes undone.

That’s just the nature of the beast isn’t it?

It's a game of luck- to an extent. But as the great Muhammad Ali said "you made your own luck."

Seriously, it’s almost like they’ve got nothing better to do.
Aren’t you all in the middle of trials?? Come on guys, get the HSC over and done with and then you can come and play with the big boys on the forums.

Come on Big Papi, as long as their contributing to their forums there's no harm done. Let's not be elitists, and have open arms inviting all rugby relevant opinions into the forum. I think it would be very helpful to have some insights from the up and coming Shore age groups- as Joker says "a strong Shore is a strong GPS"

Any word from the headmasters?

Shore Under14s looking very strong. Think they have only lost 2 games from the 10 played so far vs Riverview / Newington / Grammar.
Under 13s have a lot of numbers but the As have suffered 2 defeats to NC and View. There has been a lot of players moved up and down the grades in the 13s during the trials while the coaches work on selections.

Word is that the meeting was bumped to tomorrow but I'm only getting that third hand. Someone closer to the action might have an update. There is no new statement on the AAGPS web site in any case.

It would appear as though St Joseph is the patron saint of rugby union.

It sure would appear that way... with 120 premierships to his name north of the Tweed (Gregory Terrace is also known as St Joseph’s College Gregory Terrace).
On that note, I know it’s a bit off topic, but the story between Nudgee and Terrace is quite fascinating. Terrace was the original school, but when they opened a new campus at Nudgee to accomodate the growing numbers of boarders, they held a rugby match to determine who kept the iconic blue and white butchers stripes. As fate would have it, the Nudgee side emerged victorious and we’re given the Blue and White strip, and Terrace adopted the diametrically opposes colours - red and black.
Little bit of trivia to brighten your Monday night!

Not sure what your point is.
But being undefeated in your age group is a good result
