Heinz out with a bicep injury, which has been carried on from last year. Large out as well I believe.Will Scots have their full team for this weekend
Scots and kings 3rd XV both great sidesWith the 2nds and 3rd’s comp this year who are the contenders, and who are the pretenders?
I really think Kings takes the cake. Although Sheck went off early, lets not forget this was a Kings team missing vital players, Fonua, and Smith.Ladder prediction post trials:
1. Newington

6. Shore
Although Newington lost to Kings, they did look much better until Sheck went off. They again looked very dangerous against Cranbrook and again didn't play to there fullest capability.
Joeys at 4 is pretty absurd, definitely above Scots in terms of current form. The Scots boys are struggling to get things going for them. As for Kings, they did have key players out Fonua, Smith, Sawyer whilst Newington played a full strength squad though i cannot say the game was the same once Shecky went off, huge shift in momentum. I would love to support your prediction with Newington who is a top 3 contender but going off past results, they struggle to rise to the occasion. Same could be said for scots, but Joeys is either 1,2,3Ladder prediction post trials:

I think Joeys have the best backline overall (not the best individual backs but the best overall). What should worry the other schools is that whilst the Joeys tight five appear relatively inexperienced and undersized on paper they dominated a much larger and better credentialed Knox pack last Saturday. You’ve been warned.Ladder prediction post trials:

I believe shore might be holding onto some depth into the 2 XV. Not sure about the 3XV as defending premiers.With the 2nds and 3rd’s comp this year who are the contenders, and who are the pretenders?
Both with convincing wins on the weekend, so I definitely wouldn't write them off.I believe shore might be holding onto some depth into the 2 XV. Not sure about the 3XV as defending premiers.
Does anyone have a team list for Scots 2nds/3rds? Havent heard anything on these teams.Scots and kings 3rd XV both great sides

Without addressing any other pros/cons of the shore side, I want to address the front row.
I counted 4+ penalties given away by Shore off scrums, and I am sure there was more. The size difference compared to the Barker front row was obvious once they stood side by side, and even more obvious in the scrums and malls.
I am going to be harsh - but I think fair… Green must go, the hooker must go (I don’t have a name).
For me, Jarrett proved his worth in this game and has solidified his position. This creates a juggle for the other prop position - between Armati and Hamilton. Both incredible players that both deserve the position, and have that size boost they need - especially with Armati.
Thirds look promising as well for SHORE. many boys pushing for 2s spots. SHORE looks to have quite good depth early on this year...I believe shore might be holding onto some depth into the 2 XV. Not sure about the 3XV as defending premiers.
