They faced off for a whole half and Katoa dominated, so with that you should be going with Katoa and Barker. Barker were also missing their NSW 2 and fullback.
You forgot us View Old Boys trying to convince anyone with an ear dead or alive that IF they could play at their best for a full game we COULD have won it all.Well, it's final week of GPS '22 and it wouldn't be G&GR forum this week without:
- Year 12 boys from multiple schools putting out good yarns about their mates in the 6ths getting a start in 2nds this week
- Mathematical calculations about if 'team A wins' and 'team b can beat team c' then Team A comes equal third in the premiership
- Passionate people doing their best to make the 16A's relevant again, a comp littered with hard done by kids and parents from underprivileged BMW X5 driving families
- Barker folk coming over and gloating about their big fish in a small pond trophy and greatest team ever assembled for the (insert number) year in a row.
- Quiet resentment from many schools that the Joeys resurgence from 2018 turned out to be a bit more than a passing phase
- Joeys old boys coming back to the forum to enjoy time in the sun
- Scots, Kings and New followers to debate the ripping up of the contract for their Head of Rugby
- Keen people jumping the gun on what will happen in 2023...
- And Joker manfully trying to remind everyone ...... "get your bloody tips in !" .... whilst enjoying the Joeys lap of honour week all the same.
Did I miss anything? Looking forward to it all

Nope, nailed it! Couldn't have said it better myself.Did I miss anything?
Oh goodness me.....I am soooo tempted to say something but I can feel the eye warning me not to.You forgot us View Old Boys trying to convince anyone with an ear dead or alive that IF they could play at their best for a full game we COULD have won it all.
looking forward to this, shore has been quite strong without him for this season, can't imagine how strong the squad is looking with Hugo backThis weekend there is a huge in for the shore rugby with a very exciting talent returning from an acl injury. hugo "speedy" jansen that will pack it down in the middle with the big boys in the hooker pos. he is a very FAST bloke that gets nice and low in contact and is very hard to stop.wishing him a great return. good luck hugo
No that’s brilliant.Well, it's final week of GPS '22 and it wouldn't be G&GR forum this week without:

AgreedNo that’s brilliant.
Maybe the only other reflection is for those poor souls that caught the ‘freight train’ after starting out in the 2nds or 3rds have finished up in the 6ths comp but have never trusted the ‘bias’ within the selection process that somehow favoured the wealthier kids.
Great to hear!!! It's one thing for you to say this, but another for them to actually do it. Only time will tell when they match up against Scots at BHScots better be ready for an opens sweep this weekend shore coming out firing
They didn’t face off for the whole half. Fowler was on his first game back from a full shoulder reconstruction and he was concussed after about 10 minutes. He played on for a bit before the coaches realised what was going on and took him off about 10 minutes before half time. Apart from 13 who missed the whole game most of the team was crook with the flu and probably should not have been playing. This was in the period when literally half the school was absent with the flu.They faced off for a whole half and Katoa dominated, so with that you should be going with Katoa and Barker. Barker were also missing their NSW 2 and fullback.
mate, you seriously just decided that he is a better 10 based on the fact that Joey Fowler can play on both side of the sticks? DelusionalThe best rugby 10 in Australian Schools is Joey Fowler by the length of a straight. Isaiya Katoa is the best league half back but definitely not a Union 10.
Fowler is equally strong left or right, watch Katoa or any highlights and 90% of what he does is on the left hand side of the sticks going left to right and that suits modern league, think of all the tries and what side they are scored by left side attacks nowadays. No doubt he is good but for a rugby 10, who at times reminds me of Steve Larkham I choose Fowler all day every day.
And I stick with my earlier thought that if the two teams were to play again, both at full strength I’d be picking Joeys.
sounds like a damaging replacement.I'm hearing Jackson Stiel is injured this weekend and young gun Lachie kennard Clift is taking his place at prop for Shore!! Go Liftyslapper! He is a beautiful beast with silky soft hands
