Honestly, I’d pick Brial in the second row. I’m not sure about Fitler, I always think he looks a bit lost when he moves to the centres but he also seems wasted on the wing.

Yeah some of those positions are questionable…
I do agree that putting Johnson at 15 was the right move, but Sopeono wasn’t doing that bad at 10, and if they did want an alternative to him, Sinclair has been playing very well in the 2nd XV. Further to that, initially building the backline around Lemoto at 12 then moving him to the back row doesn't make much sense to me. Just seems bizarre.

Not at all, Joeys just managed to get one of their spies into the Scots coaching ranks. I won't say no to a 2nd XV premiership

However, let me add, let's not forget this is a good shore side. Having them back up in the race only benifits the comp.
Thought View were a bit unlucky yesterday - managed to dominate field position for large parts of the game.
Joeys tries all taking opportunities from good field position from: great kick return; dropped kick off; and line out penalty when View had the ball. Think View would look at all of these as being preventable.
Joeys defensive efforts unbelievable - intercept on own line, held up try etc etc.

Where's the beef

Not unlucky, just not good enough. They had plenty of opportunity to get it done. The first try was well worked, the second was a Joeys gift with 4 players looking at the ball, they never looked like scoring after that. A Better side would have had Joeys on the ropes with that much Ball. Both sides defended well, neither side attacked well in my view.

Absolutely and every game of the GPS comp is competitive and interesting now, no more blowouts, if only Shore could have held on to win 1-2 of the three games they lost closely they'd still be in premiership contention

Looks to me like Plan B is get any 1sts player who remotely looks like they are trying to play as a team, put them in the 2s and try and win that given their 1sts season is over.

BackRow is (and has been for last two or three years) the flaw for TSC - if you can't secure your own ball, and pilfer / slow down the opposition ball, it becomes a hard game.
Playing without a specialist #7 or #8 has been an issue for TSC past few seasons - this year looks to be no exception with multiple changes in the BackRow (isn't that what trials are for?).

Didn’t Brial play as 8 last year? And the first 2 games this year. Perhaps he isn’t really an 8 after all.
My deep sleeper agents are working wonders. “Repeat after me agent Anderson… I will…”
