Acknowledgments
May I commencethis sectionby thanking RobinThomson for
his support,adviceand goodcounseland his incredible
devotionto the bettermentof this Club, its playersand
supportersthroughoutthe year.His good humourin allowing
his 'Roast' resuttedin one of the most successful events held
by the Club in some time, with many of "Buffs cronies"taking
the opportunityto give him suitableand of course most
deservedacclaim.
To our GM Rod Torkington whose job tifle has nothing to do
with the role he performs for the Club, I thank him sincerely
for his patiencewith me as we danced around one another in
forminga workingrelationshipthat worked for the Club and
us. As in all good relationshipsthere has been healthyand
friendlydebateon many of the issuesthat confrontedthe
Clubduringthe year.
Pat Reid,the temer at our heels,worked tirelesslyand
thanklesslyin keepingour records,registrationsand
committee on track.
Gerry Barlowand Carla Hardy,new committeemembersfor
1999 boughtsome balanceto the committeeand showed by
examplewhat hard work and determinationcould achieve.
AnthonyOtt, Mark Harris and Luigi DiClementeworked on

GPS OLD BOYS RUGBY UNION CLUB INC. AITNUAL REPORT 1999
to represent us on the South Pine Sports Assn Board and to
move to incorporate by the end of Y20@.
The GPS Club does not do enoughin the simple things to
cement the relationship between Senior and Junior arms of
the GPS Family.I supposethis is relativeto the problemswe
have in our own backyard, however this is no excuse for
complacency.GPS more than any other Senior Club in
Erisbane has its recruitment base in its junior affiliates and we
must do everything we can to build a sense of belonging to
the GPS Familyfrom cradleto grave.
On The Field
After the success of our recruitment in terms of numbers in
1998 we took our eye off the ball in 1999 with the honifying
outcome that for the first time in memory GPS could not field
a Cotts 3 side, and while both Cofts 1 and 2 made the finals
series it does nothingfor he developmentof the Club. lt is
particularlycriticalat this time with the Colts age being moved
back to 19 years - we will have very few players still eligible
for Colts in Y2000.
Notwithstandingthis, congratulationsgo to Andrew Scdt and
Mick Heenan and the Colts I Team who again made it
through to the Grand Finalonly to be again knockedoff by
Wests.
Joe Anderson again proved his calibre as a coach by taking
Colts 2 to the Semi Finals. His assistant Scott Lavaring and
Manager Richard Taylor were always there with expert
guidance.Ben McGahanagain showed his team
management skills and the evidence was in the increasing
groundswell of Club spirit amongst the Colts players.
Damien Frawley stood down from the Head Coach role in
1999 due to the family and work commitments but we are
grateful to him for remaining in the significant support role for
Steve Meehan,who we threw into the deep end as 1d Grade
Coach.
This is the last year we can use the excuse that the premier
grade is very young and inexperienced, because even though
they are a young side they have all had exposure at the top
level. lf they are going to produce the goods y2000 would be
placing.
lgood time to show a significantimprovementin final
To this end much work has gone into an off season ,GpS
DevelopmentSquad' run along similarlines to the Reds
Rugby Collegewith 24 men and 6 women training under the
guidance of Steve Meehan and Andrew Scott. The outcomes
for the squad and for individualsso far are outstanding.
Reserve Grade got off to a shaky start with our appointed
coach, Michael Beveridge, becoming very ill during the pr+
season and unableto continue-(Michaelis still very ill and we
wish him a full and speedy recovery). lt fell to Club
leprechaunChris Wake to fill the void and it looked as though
for the first time in many years Reserve Grade would give the
tree a shake, however injuries and other factors saw a fine
start slip away. Chris has retired ftom active involvement for
the time being. We thank him for his contribution to all facets
of Club life during his playingand coachingyears.
Craig Elliott's3'" Grade did not have a good season on the
field, however they kept up their spirits off the field and
contributed well to Club life
Justin Steel looked as if he had it in the bag after the first
three rounds but the unfortunate 40 Grade draw with its many
byes made it difficult to keep the troops together.
Fifth Grade was a - well ...Sthgrade. Captain/coachRobin
Thomson did his best to keep il together but in the end it
became too hard with player reliability about as consistent as
their registration payments.
OurWomen's team also made it to the finals series. phil
Langleyand his assistantsjuggledtoo many for one team and
not quite enough for two each week to ensure that everyone
got a fair go. The players' enthusiasm for the sport is
overwhelmingand their contributionlo the camaraderiein the
Club is legendary.The Women'steam was by far the most
consistent supporter of Club functions. Their reputation is
spreadingquicklyso I expectan influx ofnewtalent in y2000.

GPS OLD BOYS RUGBY UNION CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT 1999
Lloyd "Fat FullbacK'Graham said the Buffoon in a ruck or
maul conjured up the image of a frog in a sock and said it was
little wonder he played 335 consecutivegames without injury,
as he always played 60 minutes of the game on his knees.
Lloyd recalled the infamous 1976 beer strike in Brisbane,ano
how Robin would drive his station wagon down to Moree in
northemNSW, load it up with all the beer he could buy, then
drive back in time for the game so everyonehad somethingto
drinkthat night.
"For this alone, Robin wouldhave deservedlife membership
of Jeeps,let alone all the otherthings he has done. Nobodyin
the historyof the club is likelyto achievethe things Robin
Thomsonhas done".
Lloyd said he was often asked why Jeeps had won only three
premiershipsin the modernera.
"l ask you: with players having nicknameslike Knucklehead
(Nerrvstead),
Fenet (Aaron), Buzzard (Brand), Hector
(Hillhouse),One Tree (Hillhouse),Bench(Evans),Fat Jack

(Ihomson), HoWd we ever win three premierships?'
Afrer hearing a congratulatorymessage from Sports Minister
Bob Gibbs,the man himself was given the right of reply in a
passionateson et lumiere address that defies transcriftion.
You had to be there. And in recompensefor the bagging, he
was presentedwith a framed "AustralianLegends"jersey, as
beflts a legend of the game at the level where mosi play it, tne
club.
The dedicationread:
"Presentedta Robin (Buff) Thomson,'a tue tegend of the
game', by the AustralianRugby Legends,an o anisatjon
dedicated to recognising and promoting the coitibution of alt
flrose wrose dedication to and passion for the game of rugby
- all it standsfor and all it bings - who by their commitmeit,strength of purpose,opinion, datus or stance, stand as the
bulw_arkthat is needed to protect and preserve the unque
qualitiesof the rugby ethosfrom the posturingand status
seeklng that has come with the age of professionatism,of all
those whatever shape or sEe, whatever colour or creed and
from whateverwalk of life who under the blanketof a rugby
jersey, crest or club, commit to standtogetherfor g0 minutes
and as a consequence spend the rest of their tivestaking

"The rugby legend does not need to have donned the green
and gold or state colours becausehe can carry the colour of
his club with equal pide and commitment both on field and off
over a lifetime"He can contribute to the wider acfuities of rugby both
at ctub

Atkinson,Wright, Slade,CharlieHollandand Boogerswill
benefit greatly from this year's experience and will all mature
into very good, if not sensationalfootballers.and provide this
club with a tremendousbaseto build upon.
My thanksto those who helpedme throughthe year. Damian
Frawley,who nearly alwayskept it undercontrol.paul Green
who seems to have a limitlesssupply of passion for the place.
George Bickerstaff,the club's independentselector, who
never seems tg run out of names, our managers Paul
Cramsieand Simon (Spic)Mamminowho spent a lot of time
dealing with my frustration. The club's medical staff, Dr.
PaulineSmith and Physiotherapist
Geoff Clark. Both do a
fantastic and sometimes thankless job. I'm sure Geoff spends
more time with and knowssome of the playersmore
intimatelythan their wivesand girlfriends.
My thanksto Paul McGahanand his committeewho
supportedme and tried to help whereverthey could. Thanks
to those who work tirelessly around the place without the
majority knowing, like Buff, the Taylors and Paul Reid who will
be sadly missed due to his move to Sydney.
My apologies to those who I have missed but I would
encourageanyone who has a spare momentand can assist
in any way to do so. Runninga football club is hard lvork and
we need all the help we can get. My thanks also to all the
other coaches. Every time we had to find a replacement
playerit had an impactallthe way throughall the grades or
the colts and this can make planning difficult.
Finally the players, whose effort this year didn't go unnoticed
and knowing that the majorityare very enthusiasticin regard
to season 2000 and are aftending our off-season
developmentprogramwill only mean a more competitive,
enjoyable club and better resufts.
I am quite convincedthat if the talent we have at Jeeos
continuedto work hard and gain the much neededexperience
we require,that in the very near future we will be placing the
silverware in the trophy cabinet and seeing more of our
playersrepresentQueenslandand Australia.

1999 1"t Grade Coach
Third Grade Report
The 3rd Grade team had great potential for the 1999 season
afrerworkingvery hard in the pre-seasontraining.The
competitiondraw looked favourable with strong opposition in
the early rounds to measure our potential.
At the first proper 3rd Grade training session I stated to the
guys that one of my goals for the season was to have none of
the players who were in the team at the start of the season
still there at the end because they had improved and were in
highergrades.For variousreasonsthis goal was achieved.
Only winningthree games and finishingthe seasonon the
bottomof the table was disappointing.The playershave to be
applaudedfor the determinationand composurethat they
played and trained with all season. The spirit displayed by the
guys for team and club was admirable.
The team was competitive for each match while not alwavs
being able to more score points. During the season
approximately50 playerspassedthroughthe team. The
primary cause of this was injuriesto players in 'A' Grade and
Reserve Grade. Three of our players also ended up with leg
fractures.
Thanks must go to Steelyand Rohan for being so tolerantat
letting players come up from 4th Grade. Towards the end of
the season some players were having two games and it was
hard work.
The exodus of players to Reserve Grade became so constant
that Chns would send different messengers to collect playersThe'magnificentseven'cadains also deservethanks.Tim,
Sean, Scott Moran, Ryan, Brad, Stuart,and Scott Edge did a
fine job, with all except Edgey, progressing to Reserve Grade.
Highlightof the season would have been the victoryover
Wests. This showed great potential for the team. All players
contributed well to the team with Liufau "Kiko" Sevele
receiving the Best and Fairest Award and Takeshi "Tuc(/'
Oyama receivingthe Phar Lap Award in recognitionof his
dedicationand enthusiasm.
From a coachingperspectivethe seasonwas a good learning
experience. The players would have liked better results btd
you dont always get what you want. The playershave great
potentialinsideand throughgoal settingtheir dreamswill be
realised.
Thanks must also go to George, Rod, Paul, and all those who
assisted through the year. Thanks also to supporters,
families,and friends.The game is for the players,so thank
you for the effort through the season. Keegs trying to make
the team and club grow.
Craig Elliott
3rd Grade Coach 1999
Fourth Grade Report
The '19994h Grade was the team that "shouldhave,could
have" but ultimatelydid not. A combinationof factors
contributed to that. First up we did not have the players week
in-week out that could compete at the required level to win
consistently. When we were at strength we could compete
and beat any of the top finishingteams as our victoriesover
Brothers and Wes{s showed.
However these days were interspersed with a forfeit and a
number of phone-aroundsto ensure we had the numbers.
lf anyone is to blame it must be thrown at my feet as I found it
increasinglydifficultto maintainenthusiasmparticularly
because of work commitments.
Thanks must go to Justin Steel for his supportand help. I
must also thank Scott Edge, David Chippendale,Buff
Thomson and Dave Rasmussen,a quartetthat were reliable
and presentat almost every game and, if they weren't,gave
plenty of notice. Thanks also to George Bickerstaff for his
support and help throughoutthe year and also to our team
manager, Lambsie,who despile a broken relationshipand
being cruellyenvelopedby alcohol late in the seasonstill
continuedin this most importantof roles.

Women's Team Report
Onceagain,it was somewhatof a surpriseto seethe
numbersturningup for preseasontrainingfor theGpS
Women'steam. As a resultof the previousseason'ssuccess
and somegreatrecruitingat the localgirls'school,the
numberswerealmostenoughto fieldtwoteams.
Unfortunately
this leftteamselectorswiththe unfortunate
task
of attempting
to giveeveryonea game. Notan easytask!
As a result,the GPSandUniversity

GPS OLD BOYS RUGBY UNION CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT T999
However, due to many factors the 10s competitiondid not
proceedin 1999. lt is my understandinghowever,that the
competition has been given approval for the 2@0 season.
confidentthat the GPS team would not have achieved its
cunent level of success. Philip, we wish you well and hope to
continueto see you here at GPS for many yearsto come.
The standard of football being played by the GpS Women's
team continuesto improve.1999 saw GpS draw a game
against Brothers (a feat never before achieved) and score
their tirsl ever try against UniversityWomen. Spectators at
that day thoughtthat we had won, given the excited
screaming coming frorn the field.
Finally,the successand developmentof women'srugby has
been dependenton so few people. I would like to encourage
everyoneto be involvedin all aspectsof the women'sgame
as it is just as rewardingand enjoyableas men'srugby.
So, for the second year running,the GpS women finishedin
the top four. Unfortunately,GPS ended their seasonin the
semi-finals,losingto the Brotherswomen. The GpS women
should be proud of their achievements and status as one of
the top four teams in Brisbane.
A notablementionfor the women'steam was the selectionof
Winsoe Coe in the 1999 QueenslandWomen,steam that
competedin the NationalChampionshipsheld in perth in
July. This was Winson'sfirst year playingwomen'srugby so
this was quite a feat. Winson also scored on debut with her
first touch of the football.
One of the strengths of the women's teams is the supoort and
camaraderiegiven by the rest of the GpS ctub. Thani you to
all who have shown interest and apprecidtion in women's
rugby. Thanks also to the coaches of the grades and colts,
who have been patient in allowing us to practice live drills
againsttheirteams.

Colts ll Report
Colts ll had a very successfulyear reachingthe majorsemifinals but going down to eventual premiers, Wests.
We had some very good personalachievementsthroughout
the season,includingTim Wolf takingout Best & Fairest,and
Mick Porter,our most consistentplayer. Also, Dave Huxtable
for his commendableefforts in the backs.
All players made a great effort every game, consideringthere
was no Colts lll side to draw upon after the first few rounqs.
I would liketo thank RichardTaylorfor a job well done as
Colts ll managerin 19S.
ln finishing,I would like to also thank my Assistantcoach,
Scott Lavaringfor his efforts and expertise in coaching the
backs.

Treasure/sReport
Preamble
It should be noted that differences between reporting of the accounts have occuned within the financial statements. The main
difference in reporting is that in 1998, the accounts were reported in a netted state. This is prevalentwhen observingthe negative
balancesin the Incomeof the Profttand Loss Statement.
Operating Profit
I iresent ior members'considerationthe Club's FinancialStatementsfor the year ended 30h September,1999.
The Club gainedan operatingprofitof $12,656.68for the 1999 financialyear. This needs to be placedwith last year'sloss of
$ 11 , 5 7 6 . 9 3 .

The major reasonsfor this turnaroundwas the sale of Ballymoreseating,and s_uccessful
PeterMarshall,Rod Torkington,Mark Hanis, Luigi DiClementeand GeraldineBarlow.
Trading Outlook
The clul again faced difficult times in terms of sponsorship,subscriptions and retail sales. This attributed to a decrease in income
of $34,053.91.
