The Chairman
Nev Cottrell (35)
With 4 rounds (and team of the weeks down) I am pretty safe to say this is the form team of the competition.
Many will challenge for high places in representative teams.
1. Tancred (I)
2. Smith (K)
3. Bloomfield (K)
4. Perrett (K)
5. Muir (N)
6. Toia (K)
7. Ghattas (J)
8. Fonua (K)
9. Grover (I)
10. King (N)
11. Roberts-Lintmeijer (N)
12. Anitela-Tsloussis (N)
13. O'Connor (J)
14. Troy (J)
15. Grantham (N)
The captaincy looms large.

Farrah is 13, he is referring to Adam Stewart who is the 12. (Redhead)
long history of the Stewart family at kings, his brother Toby and forgive me I forgot the eldest brother name have both won premierships in 2018 and 2020 1st XV sides.

Here for the advice

Question for the selection does a play need to have played a position for selection? Like can a 13 be picked at 11/14 if has never played there for their school? Or are the selectors able too shuffle them ? Thinking of backrow and outside backs options.

Players can be picked in any position, this year will see Kings, Joeys and Scots #8s all fit into the GPS 1st side.

Lemoto IS playing 8. Played for Australia u18s when he was u17, already signed to a french club and hasn't even played union for a club, and knocked out 3 Joeys boys, including Justice.
No one else comes close IMO, they will have to put justice and clout at 6/7

Mmmmm 8 & 10 need to be changed

Fonua, Hheinz and Justice will all make this side.
Heinz and Fonua both started for Aus 18s in a winning campaign, don’t think coaches will care what position they are in just to get all 3 on the field together.

If the ref lets Kings scrummage, it will be a cricket score. It was disappointing that this wasn't allowed to happen in the last match.

If a team advances 1.5m consistently you’d hope a dominant scrum penalty is rewarded at a 1st XV level.
The Chairman
Nev Cottrell (35)
Thinking about it now I could not think of a more dominant front row at the moment than Lavercombe, Smith and Bloomfield. All 3 have been playing out of their skin, and would make fearful scrummaging opponents.

Controversial but I'm going to suggest their all round game and workrate is superior to the superlative 2023 edition (Nick, Bailey, Edwin, Nate) who all achieved NSW rep status. And two are only year 11.

whilst these 3 have been top tier this year, I would say Osbourne Tancred and Conna definately looked just as good in the Kings vs RIverview game.

should be back 4 shore i think

Anything is possible. All depends on who turns up on game day. Shore, could play as if they are playing in a GF. Like I said, all depends on who turns up to play on that day.

Billy Sheehan (19)
I agree, Lemoto is the #8. Fonua and Justice can play #6 & #7
Footy head
Ted Fahey (11)
I think Newington at full strength is a better front row. Sheck (Tahs) Davies (Schools 1s) Villiamu (Tahs).
