I see where you're coming from, but I believe the Joeys have a stronger overall team. It's important to remember that victories will not come from a single player it's the collective effort that makes the difference.

Excited to see how having Wendt (E) at fullback will differ and change this for Shore.

Agree! pre-season chat focused on the size (lack of) from the Shore forward pack. Hard to compare to years gone by and the likes of Baxter & Harveson, but across last two games they have proved themselves to be strong and most importantly very tough.

Perhaps a rethink on the internal investment made in certain students across the schools...

Minto was originally from Waverley, and only joined Joeys last year. Little bitta music scholarships here and there, but it's alright, it's Joeys no one bats an eye.

Agreed, some schools offer places to boys who are exceptional at a certain sport (majority of the time it is rugby however)

I think they have a nice structure. The framework is good, but the execution has lacked in the final 10. If they can close it out, they could see a result...

Will be interesting with Wentd filling in the full back role, hopefully they can hold on to the final moments where they slipped last week. Shore will be hard to stop if they can fill those gaps.

Totally, I felt, it was a similar scenario in a few of their trial games, coming from behind, where they needed to hold their energy and playing

Hopefully the injection of Wendt will put a stop to this theme of not being able to close out games.

Agreed, as well as callaghan returning the week after and bassingthwaighte a few more after that. Once Shores at full strength there backs will rise to the level the shore forwards are playing at and they (if no more injuries occur) will be lethal...

Agreed, I think Shore's lineout maul this week will be critical against Scots, if they can complete.

They are always strong in and around lineouts. Hopefully this week will be no different.

Not to sure, Although this usally is the case when individual choose league over union at school. If hes good enough though, which it seems he is, he will make his way to the 1's in no time...
Thoughts on the rain?
Newington large land mammals may tire in the wet. The sprightly lambs shall prance though across the SJC bowling green with ease.
Only issue will be handling. The Barker game taught them plenty. Even wet a Joeys field is impeccable.
Scots College outdoor aquatic center is filling nicely at this time I am told. Student spies who still communicate with me have noted the puddles on main growing at a radid rate. Once more there will be concerns of players drowning on the worst surface in the AAGPS. Even McKay Oval drained (but local kids stole your hubcaps) . Shore lads must remember to pack their floaties for this game.
Here is 2024.
