Who is he?That would be the former Joeys coach who won 11 straight
Scots 14B flogged Waverley 55-0, you wouldn't expect that huh?Knox and Waverley could probably compete with most gps schools across the age groups.
And it should be part of the promotion criteria that you need to have a certain amount of depth across each age. E.g 4 open teams, 3 under15/16, 4 under13/14.
Certainly, some yrs are a lot stronger than others in club footy as well. I worry about some clubs for example Easts haven't even got a U14 team this year.He did say “most” tbf.
There are always going to be strong and weaker years, I just think it’s not the way Schools Rugby exist to be built like American Colleges with 1 team being the Program.
The associations do exist to serve themselves and the students. The argument commonly becomes about developing talent and helping Rugby. In my opinion the various competitions produce more than their fair share of talent and it’s the NSWRU who should facilitate morerep programs beyond Schools to play more games and develop their next professionals and not just assume the private systems will do the heavy lifting for them with zero help financially or administratively.
I didn't know that, good to see a very deep U13's easts age group with 4 teams I believe. Easts U15's had a good team with boys from Scots, Cranbrook, Kings, and Moriah and the 16's have a team with talented players, many from Cranbrook. Easts always have great depth from u9 to U12 but there is usually a big trend of people quitting club footy in year 7 or 8.Certainly, some yrs are a lot stronger than others in club footy as well. I worry about some clubs for example Easts haven't even got a U14 team this year.
Was talking to Sid. He is quite distraught that he could not lead the school in the war cries at Athletics due to him being in the high jump, however I'm sure the chants will go on.King's athletics is up there with one of the strongest programs in the country...10 premierships in the last 16 years since the coach took over (have never placed lower than 3rd as well) - sounds like a good idea, particularly with Sid Singh competing in the Open High Jump this year
And in the GPS games, Scots 14B's lost 8 and won 1.Scots 14B flogged Waverley 55-0, you wouldn't expect that huh?

On top of all these issues its important to realise that many GPS schools would prefer not to merge so as to keep the prestigious name of the AAGPS as exclusive as possible as this is a point of marketing for many of these schools.Knox and Waverley could probably compete with most gps schools across the age groups.

Very true the 'AAGPS school' title brings in a lot of interest.On top of all these issues its important to realise that many GPS schools would prefer not to merge so as to keep the prestigious name of the AAGPS as exclusive as possible as this is a point of marketing for many of these schools.
