A very fair point, wouldn't that be a fantastic build-up! Thanks for the team list. I imagine Jones would be best suited to 15, while Carter can learn some modesty playing at 12. Very talented kid, but the 4 or 5 times I've seen him play, he seems to feel the need to be a show pony too often...

Scots @ Grammar Shore @ Newington Joeys @ Kings St. Ignatius with the bye. Not much doubt regarding game of the round. I'm expecting blow-outs from Scots, Newington and Kings. Wouldn't be surprised if Iggies somehow pick up another few injuries despite the bye, as has been their luck.

Cheers. Was that by matter of need or is he that good? I unfortunately don't have the best eye to track the work of the front-row.

Promises to be an exciting and even comp for next year, or at least certainly the year after. Hearing of the strength of the Joeys 16As has impressed me in regards to Grammar's 16s, who apparently played quite a good contest. Would anyone see there being greater benefit in keeping talented...

Which U16s Kings boys are in opens? I thought the traditional policy at the school was that 16s just don't play opens.

I would have to say that the 2013 premiership is Kings' to lose. In saying that, however, I think there's going to need to be a lot of reshuffling through their backs; the right players aren't getting the ball enough. The only school I see proposing a serious threat is Newington. On that note...

I see Carter grabbed a couple. I suppose this will only perhaps serve to frustrate Jones more (assuming Carter stayed at 11 the whole game). Was it him creating chances, finishing off breaks, etc? Would be interested to gain perspective on what position everyone believes Jones would best be able...

This type of comment is the very reason you seem to attract such hate on these forums. Not a single person on this forum predicted a result even close to what occurred, and so by your standards, no-one on here is qualified to comment on the game. I was not in attendance, nor have I seen any in...

Got my hopes up for a Grammar upset for a second there... I agree that Kings' class will shine through, and that they will go on to have the finishing form that they so desperately needed at season's start. However, I disagree with Scots and Shore, I'd flip them. Shore's season just seems...

Both unfortunate in their own unique ways. I'm sure all on the thread are glad to see quick testicle recovery. But on a serious note, Potts is a serious loss for them, and I firmly believe he may have been an extremely effective tool for them this weekend against an undersized Joeys back-line...

As I understand the only players out for Grammar are Krempff and Gorry, due to the concussion rules. Who else is not running out on Saturday?

Just wondering what the specific predictions people hold for the Joeys - Grammar game are? After last week's capitulation, I do think the Grammar boys will come out with a greater resolve, and fortunately for them, Joeys is a relatively small team (though still very skilful). I'm of course...

Before I reply, I must admit I'm the opposite; a strong optimist, and having witnessed most of the Grammar home fixtures through the last decade or so, I'd like to think I have some level of authority in addressing the school's development through this year comparative to previously. This year's...
