How about that Scots ref. Advantage calls went on for so long that they could have built another castle in that time. Knock ons? Forward passes? Might as well have been optional. I wouldn’t trust him with the 13Es!

The sun is out at Scots main this morning. Noah’s flood has dried up and the boys are ready to play. North vs East!

SHORE +5 JOEYS +10 VIEW+1

Is anyone giving View a chance this week @ Kings?

Well when Callaghan comes back soon, Wendt could move to either inside centre and replace Tully Robertson, or move to the wing and replace Oscar Dalmeida. Will be a tough call and you’d assume that both those boys are fighting for their spot over the next few weeks. Personally, I reckon...

Anyone is a chance at this point, Joeys are strong favourites however I believe that they are only marginally in front of other contenders and this was shown on the weekend. I think that both Shore and Kings can win it all if their main troops can get back on the park, e.g. Bassingthwaighte/...

Reardon will be in the team, he has been Shore's best over the trial period. However, I could see Frape retaining a spot at the expense of another forward. The problem is that all other second and back rowers are likewise deserving of their position, with 2 being vice-captains and 1 being a...

Has a lingering knee issue but a broken finger vs Barker made it an easy decision to rest him for a week or two.

Well since his Harold Matts season finished in March 2024, I would hope he isn't still signed with that team. However, he has recently played a season of SG ball with Penrith but I believe he is not secured for the future. While both NRL and Rugby AU are fighting for his signature, it appears...

It was certainly a dominant day for SJC out at Northbridge A ground today. This was somewhat due to their immense depth, but I thought that Joeys played a tougher brand of footy that forced Shore to make errors and they capitalised well on these turnovers with clinical attack in the ‘red zone’...

I hear that both Baxter (E) and Minto (J) are year 10 lads who have been called up to the top grade. Which other year 10's from the 6 schools are playing 1st XV this week?

Always interesting to see how the lower 'non-competition' opens teams can match it against Joey's depth. I wonder when the last time a Shore 4th or 5th XV side got a win vs SJC.

TKS +2 NC +7 SJC +10

Some did, and it became obvious which members of the forum were current Shore students. However they proved correct so credit to them. I recall the predictions being between Scots and Shore. Scots failed last year and lose much of their team going into 2025 (e.g. Jaques, Fittler, Brial), and...

I don't have much word on trial form but I think these teams are reasonably consistent year to year. View normally go alright, as well as Scots. Joeys will always be strong with their ridiculous depth and they should definitely be the team to beat. Kings have been one of the weaker 4ths XVs over...
