8I believe Fanua has well and truly proven that he is a top 5 second-rower, no?

That seems highly unlikely, would be very counter productive if true. Many schools will pick their best fifteen players with a few out of position purely as a function of depth. If you were a top line wing playing 13 for your school and that prohibited you from being chosen for GPS as a wing, it would be grossly unfair. Also it would potentially affect the quality of the GPS XV because the best 13 gets picked but then the third best wing also gets picked because his competition was ineligible to be picked at wing. I’m not sure what the logic would be.I’m fairly sure they can only pick them in a position that they have played in a GPS game. Which is why the forward pack will have trouble to fit Brial, Justice and Fonua between 4,5,6 and 8. Unfortunately this means we might see Justice play another year of 16s GPS.
You should be able to GPS 2nds IMO. It's a higher level than 16s Rep in the grand scheme.Surely if a player such as Justice or Dempsey don't make the GPS 1sts and make GPS 2nds they will play opens over Presidents? Or is the rule only applicable to playing up for the GPS 1sts?
Pretty spot on, however, I'm not sure if Lavercomb plays tight-head, would shift him to loose and play the like's of Osborne (I) and Harvison (E) at 3GPS 1's 2024
1. Toby Taggart J
2. James Warner E
3. Hayden Lavercombe K
4. Arthur Greer J
5. Toby Brial S
6. Johannes Logan J
7. Marshall Le Maitre E
8. Justice Teaumopeau J
9. Angus Grover I
10. Jonty Fowler J
11. Hemasi Makasini N
12. Matt Gough J
13. Leo Jacques S
14. Tom Hartman I
15. Jai Callaghan E
Not sure about being the form 13 as there are many at the moment but I would say the same can be said about Tombs (J) - he's been consistently good week in week out.Baxter Warner (N) has been the form 13 in the comp his defence is unreal and spark in attack is un matched. Has to be in GPS 1s!!!
Campbell Conna and Henry Dempsey are in my top 51. Greer (J)
2. Brial (S)
3. Graham (I)
4. Fanua (K)
5. Baxter (E)
Some of these boys play out of position at school because of their versatility, but I still have considered them.
Conna is an 8 and Dempsey is a 7, this is talking about 4's.Campbell Conna and Henry Dempsey are in my top 5

You have just named a lock and a flanker as 2 of your top 5 second rowers...Campbell Conna and Henry Dempsey are in my top 5

Pretty simple isnt it?Who would be the top 5 (4's) in GPS at the moment?
For the 5th time... Fonua has been playing 8.Pretty simply wrong...
I would have to say that when watching Kings Fanua stands out as the better of the two second rowers (over McPherson). Keen to hear others thoughts on whos better between these two, but for me Fanua is the clear standout.
I'd have Hamilton (E) over Mcpherson. In regard to the form 5's, you'd have to think Smtih (I) is well in the mix.Pretty simple isnt it?
Greer (J)
Brial (S)
Baxter (E)
Graham (I)
McPherson (K)
Although Thiel (K) and Ulcoq (S) are definitely fighting for that last spot.
Hamilton is underrated, but McPherson is still alot better.I'd have Hamilton (E) over Mcpherson. In regard to the form 5's, you'd have to think Smtih (I) is well in the mix.
For the 5th time... Fonua has been playing 8.
FONUA has been #8 for Kings for past 5 rounds @An Eagles EyePretty simply wrong...

McPherson is having a cracking season. He is one of those players that hasn’t missed a tackle, supports the break down and when he has a run with the ball always makes a few metres. Players like him get lost and unfortunately overlooked by selectors when they stick to the same old names.I'd have Hamilton (E) over Mcpherson.

indeed, "put ferg on"McPherson is having a cracking season. He is one of those players that hasn’t missed a tackle, supports the break down and when he has a run with the ball always makes a few metres.

We’ll agree to disagree. Top kid but not a lock on his spot at TKS let alone GPS. Thiel, Greer and Graham for me. Hope they don’t move Brial in to cater for two 7s on the side.McPherson is having a cracking season.
