Seems a number of players in the PONI squad (Players of National Interest) have skipped this comp. Grover, Fonua, Risati, Gough and other from last years 18s and NSW 16s.

I personally think they should play but whatever the convo feels like battering my head against the wall now. I guess more boys are being given a chance to play higher level footy if we take the glass half full approach.

I was freaking out when I tuned in just now and saw no Grover and the 21 Flynn Farrell on at halfback. Thought it was an injury!

Does Hasani have much more growing? Doesn’t see to have grown much at all over the last few years and if Sheck can return he would likely be the preferred right head at Tahs I think. . Possibly needs to change from tight head to hooker? If that is the case Smith would still be ahead of him though in terms of skill at that position.

Height may be an issue but he's bloody powerful. Hooker could be an option and Scheck is definitely a prospect but his issue at the moment is staying on the field. Another Shoulder issue right?

Cyrus Bloomfield was impressive today. I have never seen what all the fuss was about with him until today. That spin off the tackle before scoring was very classy.

Again disappointing to see the dominant scrum consistently penalised. It's as if we are training the kids to scrum poorly by virtue of the rules.

from what I saw and who I presume are in the PONI squad, if Lemoto has been ruled out, the schools1 #8 surely would now be part of the PONI squad. NSW schools #6 would be a good inclusion in the Squad also. Dempsey will have impressed for sure. Out of the lineout for most of the games, there was the consistency of over throws from all hookers. This leads me to think it is more of a jumping issue rather than the throw itself. In terms of throwing it straight I would lean towards the schools 1 hooker Smith.

Quick shoutout to the NSW boys who were elected the best player in their respective teams:

NSW 1's Best Player - Dylan Simmons

NSW 2's Best Player- Oscar Cleary

Both of these young men are impeccable rugby players and are simply just machines on the field. They're both strong and powerful, and are LITERALLY made for the back-row. Hope to see them in more rep footy !

Hasani and Smith will both be retuning next year for Kings, therefore they will both be staying in the same positions.

How tall does a TH has to be mate? Hahaha Tamaiti Williams is the tallest TH atm. Hasani is taller than Tupou and Amone the Tahs TH?

I wonder why the French would choose Bloomfield over Sheck. Bloomfield is the perfect height for a TH. Since when did a TH has to to be 6’4?
