Who in particular do you believe from the Scots seconds should be in the firsts?

It does appear that the Scots 2XV are playing great footy and by the looks of it enjoying it but I do doubt that boys have turned down playing for the firsts. Interested as to where you are hearing this.

all kings full time staff have to take a summer and winter sport. They are matched with external coaches who are almost always old boys of the school or externals.
in regards to the headmaster he does not take a team, however the head of senior school does as he has for the last few years taken a 13s team.
but yes the Hilgendorfs alongside Stuart Woodhouse run the show

Give Weir and Sinclair a go. They are both year 11 boys and will give them good experience for 2025.
I agree they have been great, Weir especially and it will be great to watch him in a couple of weeks playing for one of the u16s GPS teams. Sinclair has been great but I do think that Will Johnson is the best option for playing 10 and have Large at fullback. What about Bartlett he's been good in the 2nds.

This person is not hearing this, they are making it up. I would suggest a disgruntled parent who is trying their best to derail the program.

I believe intentionally collapsing it. They couldn’t do anything to stop it moving
There is a fine line though between playing to give kids that deserve to be there and good enough to be there a go and just giving in for the year. Hopefully they don't give up and admit defeat as they still have a lot to play for.

Grover bullied new halfback when they played. Levels to this game.

You play your best team to win each match - TSC fell in to the 'let's give experience to Y11s' trap last year - the best team is not always the best individuals either.
I read on here before some quote by a former TSC coach saying a team of Y12s will nearly always beat a team Y11s.
When you try and hatch a plan around getting Y11s ready for next year, the best approach is to have only those on merit in the 1s, and the rest on merit in the 2s.

The idea that Riverview has the best forward pack is genuinely de lu lu. Do you need help?

Their form at the moment is great in my opinion. I would love to hear from you who you believe has a better pack then them if you think it is so "de lu lu".

They’re working very well as a unit.
Good balance of size and speed and players doing their jobs.
Always controversial when labelling anything “the best” but agree that they are playing as a pack rather than as individuals and that is all you want from the lads up front

Sad to see the Kings 1st XV lose to New 1st XV this Saturday at the White Oval on the weekend, here are my thoughts on the game...
Kings:
Hugo Kable (#15) - Played an exceptional game, a couple of meat pies and a very courageous defensive effort from the temporary fullback, had a cracking game and would have scored some serious fantasy points.
Hasani Bloomfield (#3) - Has been on a roll of playing some amazing footy, on the weekend he just didn't receive the ball enough, eventually TKS suffered as they didn't have one of their stronger ball carriers running hard and lethal lines.
Newington:
Hemasi (#11) - Had an absolute blinder on Saturday scoring a try and running a muck on the wing, due to his size and speed he was breezing past the Kings backs and giving the "dont argue" to a couple. Overall a great effort and an amazing game from the young man.
Newington #15 (not sure of his name) - This young fella who lacks size had ticker and a handy skillset to go alongside that, scoring a try in the slippery conditions of the White Oval. He was involved in many of Newington's successful backline plays and was everywhere.
Overall:
The Kings vs New matchup ( Oldest rivalry in GPS) was another try packed game with exciting elements throughout the whole game. The Kings boys unfortunately couldn't stick their tackles and couldn't capitalise on the few chances that were presented to them. Overall I think the TKS rugby program is still on the up, although the 16A's have had a tough few weeks , they are missing many players but still have talent, especially that forward pack. And also the players playing up: Matthews, Davies, Taylor, El Kurdi, Risati, Bloomfield, Smith.
The New boys on the other hand, played exceptional. There flow was great, the backs were in unison and playing to the best of their ability. One of Newingtons better games this season, especially after the draw in the pre season battle between the both of them.
Good news is...
We will see the Kings vs New battle again, only at Stanmore airport. How exciting...
