joeys in this age group is sub-par at best, they have been most underwhelming for their entire campaign as an age group and have struggled to beat stronger teams on most occasions (i.e. Scots, shore).
They do have a strong year 11 group this year though, led by Justice and Fowler + many other talented players. Struggled in 16's losing many of their players to opens but have gone well in years before. Scots vs Joeys will be a huge match up as always. 16s game will be one to watch

Shore's lineup for 2024 definitely has a few standout players who will really push the team but there are also some "Underrated players" who i think will find their feet and excel, the likes of (Lewis Kingdom, Henry Conick, James Warner and Ed baxter). I believe these boys are going to be the root of the team as they are all returning 1st XV players and have the confidence this year to do great things. My point being the standout players will be there Eg Marshall, Rex etc but these other boys will step up and play to somewhat of the same level especially if they connect as a team.

Also the back line will be furious with Rex and Jai in 10 and 15. The forward line wont be as deep as the backline but will still be a threat just to reply to your comment about both.

What is their depth like though? the two round comp inevitably leads to injuries which can change a team's fortunes overnight.
Joeys and New will be extremely susceptible to injuries as well.
 
as a riverview fan i might be a bit bias, there is something in the water over there tho that makes there forwards beasts, what evers in the water is also making them abit G** as ive heard some weird stories from there first 15

This is not true. The forwards led by Luca Cleverely (Australian Schoolboys) and a very strong scrum coming from the 16s there forwards will do just fine and the backs are are as you said very good.
It's not the talent that's the issue for New. It's the clipboard holders that confuse everyone.
isn't that what Shore is with Marshall, but Newington's year 11s are a stronger pack seen by there dominance in the scrums last year and 5 out of 8 of there pack selected in the GPS Teams last year.
Who doesn't make one? Four sides now with extras called up.

Great depth within the Shore squads. People like Alex Segaert, Isaac Edwards, Gus Gordan, Ed Arnold and Jamison Lyne would make perfect replacements for any 1st player that get injured. Shore has plenty of wonderful forward and back talent within the 2nds players that would perform just as well as any other 1st player. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Yeah look, Injuries are most likely going to happen throughout the season as will happen with most teams. The severity of the Injury is the important bit, all you can do is hope it happens to no one and if it does, not the standout playmakers.
In regards to the depth it seems majority of the players have a decent back up in the 2's from the predictions I've heard around other old boys who are very interested in shore this year. I will try get names from some sources to provide.

I watched a few 2nds games and have heard of a few of these blokes however people like Alex Yates, Ed arnold, Ed cowdery and Isaac edwards must've flown under my radar. What teams did they play last year?

These Shore boys need to get off this, far out it's a pain
More than a few posts have been deleted over the last few days.. and if you look back a few more posters have gained the Banned tag.

So I think it's a warning to new readers of the forum to read the rules, and leave the schoolboy games to other places.

Alex and Ed Cowdry are young guns from the 16s and Ed Arnold (Back) and Isaac Edwards(forward) played 3rds/2nds last year.

Keep a good eye out for them this year. Great players and very entertaining play style to watch.
