To the Rebels? Possibly.
I think it's only a matter of years before we see some of the Shute Shield clubs evolve into "feeder clubs" for certain Super provinces, probably not officially but at least in practice.

A list of reserves to act as substitutes for both games is still being finalised but will include Josh Holmes, John Ulugia, Greg Peterson and Rohan Saifoloi who are all currently in camp with the squad in Nowra.
Horne (elbow) and Fat Cat (calf) not included because of injury.
13. Cross is elevated to partner Carter. Turner moves back to the wing and Pakalani plays in the Twos.

Cam. Mitchell is not longer part of the Tahs stable, and IIRR struggled to get a game in 1st Grade for Eastwood last year. Bennetts was preferred by the Junior Tahs in 2010 and bolter Kingston has just been elevated above Bennetts and now has a Super contract.

I was but due to a death in the family and having to travel up to Sydney on Thursday for the funeral I will now be missing the games.

Sorry to hear that, and I am sure I am joined my many members of the forum when I offer my condolences to you and your family.

Thanks. To be honest its a relief for all concerned. It was a very aggressive form of cancer and the family member in question was given only a few months. However, they battled through it with alot of determination and lasted nearly 2 1/2 years. Its just that the last six months in particular were extremely painful for them, so now their suffering is over.

Thanks for that Lee, bit of a let down when the Aus Schools captain cant make it pro.
Did i see Rohan Safoloi listed as a wing the other day, i thought he was a 10.
What has happened to the Kings (i think) 12 who played Aus Schoolboys this year, I thought he would be in with a shout in the junior side.
Also can't really see the tahs flourishing with Cross and Carter in the centres at Super level, they need a bit more pace.

Probably talking about Apolosi Latunipulu, from Newington. He's in the Tahs Academy.

Yeah Cameron Mitchell hasn't made his mark as a senior player. To be fair he missed most of his first year out of school with injury, then in 2010 he found his mate Bennetts had already established himself as 13 in front of him at Eastwood; so was mostly on the wing IIRR when he got a chance or two in the Ones - but there's no way he's a winger. Maybe some Woodies tragics have a bit more info.
In 2008 I thought he would be in a Super stable by this time. He (and Bennetts) got in the Oz U/20 squad last year but Bennetts had to go home with injury and Situati was preferred to to Mitchell as the 13.
Yeah qwerty is right: that player is Apo from New - brother of Sam Latunipulu the Randwick 7, who seems to have been overlooked by everybody. Sam plays a bit like Steffon Armitage in your Exiles team. [Not to the point but it's good news that your lot have recruited Ansbro for next year. He's not Mapusua but he's a cracking player. And Corbisiero has been called into the England squad !!]
Apo is in the Tahs amateur academy and will be a pro player one day but he has to learn to use other players more - not an uncommon flaw in young centres who have been the best player in their team for so long, and hog the ball a bit. He had a particularly unhappy game against NZ Schools.
Yeah Rohan is a flyhalf and played a bit there in the 4th quarter of the trial v. Fiji and went OK. He's in the amateur academy here too. Can't remember his being listed on the wing.
No, the pairing of Cross and Carter does not inspire confidence but it is just a trial and Cross was always going to be a starting player in one of the two trials. But Turner was quite good at 13 the other night and I was looking forward to seeing him play there against better opposition. Maybe that will happen later in the game. I don't think that Horne will be fit to start in Rd.1. Turner got a pass mark at 13; so let's see how Cross goes.
