I believe joeys are a very strong team in the twos comp but scots are underdogs. Although they had a loss against joeys, they have a strong mentality towards not only working on individual skills but also as a team. I am keen to see how they play against Newignton. Fun fact i used to play 2nds "back in the good old days".

I would say that without Hannon the Joeys 2nds didn’t look anywhere near as dominant. He sure is a star…

It’s looking icy at Armidale, but I’m confident Shore can triumph. We saw a Shore vs Joeys 3rds match up already, it will be interesting to see the outcome after the Joe v. TAS game

No doubt Shore will bring their best, but I think it will be a very close contest.
Looking at the previous results this season:
Joeys v Shore was 24-7 (trial).
Joeys v TAS was 24-18 (comp).
TAS at home on Backfield cannot be underestimated, especially given local conditions.

The coldest game I ever played was for Armidale Teachers College v Guyra. It was so cold there that even God didn't come down for a look. When we ran on the field at 10am there was snow falling and ice on the ground...."crunch, crunch, crunch...". Temperature? 2 degrees. Scrums never felt so good. Group huddling for warmth. The winger mind you would be turning blue. Half time was rum for the forwards and pink lady cocktails for the backs. After the games, both clubs returned to the Royal Hotel to defrost near the fire.

Would absolutely love to hear some premiership predictions and rankings now the seasons nearly half over this weekend.

Is it too late for the likes of Shore and Scots to make a last ditch premiership contest?

do any J members know what team Sam Jorgensen is playing in now? i’m sure i haven’t seen him in 2nd XV team lists this GPS season., but then i thought he was on the cusp on 1sts in trials as he subbed on for 1’s in at least one trial game as i recall?

haha... props to you "2013-2017" i got a good kick out of this. Bowen is now starting in the waratahs... whats McCullen up to? as a scots oldboy I would assume he has likely developed what doctors at Royal north shore are calling 'scots syndrome' which is an amplified version of 'Napolean syndrome' more commly reffered to as 'little man syndrome'. whilst scots does not produce many wallabies, they do produce men with superiority and insecurity complexes like they are a factory.

Sorry, "Srgnt Short Ball", how many current wallabies are there from Riverview? 0, how many from Scots? 3. And I won't even go into the u18s and u20s.

And a quick google search exposes that Scots have more Wallabies in history than View :p

ALSO, currently--> Scots have 4 Waratahs (another 1 injured) and 2 in Western force (one is the captain) to View's 2 Waratahs.

Thanks champ, let's just quiet down, and get your facts right :D

Forum,
Is there any Newington team lists for their battle at Bellevue Hill this weekend. I am keen to see if Makasini will be listed or not, because that could be a big blow for the title contending side.

TAS make this

Any chance of a tas team list. Feel sorry for the shoremen taking the trip.

Sorry???
TAS make this trip down the New England every second weekend. They are the hardest working rugby team in show biz.
They arrive late on a Friday evening and sleep on crash mats in cold school gyms.
Joeys host them often as they have dining rooms for them where they do get a hot breakfast plus a packed lunch.
Then as soon as the TAS 1st XV finish they are back on the road arriving 1am Sunday morning.

It really pissed me off when students grumbled about the TAS game. ONCE a season while TAS make up to 7 trips.

I think it’s a privilege for these boys. TAS always get a big crowd as it’s their home which is pretty much a 1st XV atmosphere. I thought boys would enjoy this opportunity not sigh at the idea of heading out to Armidale.

They used to release team lists for all sides at New every week but this season they've stopped.

Re Makasini, several posters on here have confirmed he is playing despite a calf injury and being selected in the U19 NSW Origin league team which assembles Friday and plays next Thursday
