Do we think that Kings stand a chance against Shore this weekend?

If it makes you feel better, I had a pie at Stirling Bridge last week, and despite the previous glowing reports on this forum to the contrary, it was stone cold and tasted vaguely of mutton.
The cold, hard truth is that every school is buying their pies from the cheapest, or next to cheapest, supplier and reheating them with questionable skill.

Think you may have got the bad one out of the batch, I also lucky enough was able to treat myself to the last pie in stock, and was totally satisfied, fulfilling my moneys worth.
Interestingly Lemoto is selected too....even though he has committed to French rugby. The game is on June 19 - its a one off, so they may miss this week but will be back possibly after the winter holidays. Still no clear communication about whether Makasini is injured or the school aren't selecting him tbh

Probably not.
Then again, no one thought they were going to beat Newington.
If Kings turn up like their last 2 away fixtures, they'd be extremely hard to beat. 10-20+

Thats his older brother " Hokafonu Lemoto " not " Heinz Lemoto "

Most likely not as i have been to the past two kings games they don't seem to have the power in my perspective.

I saw Makasini has been picked for 19's origin. Does anyone know how this will affect his schoolboy rugby?

From my understanding he won't be at school training throughout the week but will play on the Saturday for New. They fly back down on the friday morning i believe. So might be a little tired or sore but should be playing

WOW!
to say that I was utterly shocked after hearing the riverview five eight lost his appeal is a understatement. I've seen alot of people on this forum who were under the belief that it was a cumilation of two yellow cards that prompted the red when infact it was a yellow card followed by a straight red crad. this speaks volumes to how soft the penalty was. I am 100% in agreeance that he should have recieved a second yellow but a suspension just seems way to far. looking at that and Lemotos' shot on joeys no.14 I am dumbfounded as to which one will be missing this weeks game. Does anyone know whats happening with Lemoto, because if he does not take at least one week of I would become very suspicious as to which school dominates the political end of the AAGPS! Pondering this question Makes me think back to 2021 when Conner McCullen (Scots College) was chosen over Jack Bowen (St. Ignatius College)(now starting 10 for the Waratahs) in the GPS 1XV! It is sad to think that some people may way to use their power to sway results at the detrement of young men and their hard work.

Do you know if he's starting or on the extended bench?

Yep, couldn’t agree more, you’ve nailed it. The confusion around the yellow vs straight red just shows how messy the whole process was. A second yellow would’ve made sense, but a suspension feels way too harsh. The Lemoto situation only makes the inconsistency even more obvious; if there’s no ban there, it raises serious questions. And maybe Bowen didn’t get picked back then because he missed so much of Year 11 and part of Year 12 , but that just makes it more frustrating when politics seem to influence selections over actual talent. It’s the players who work hard that end up paying the price for all this.

Kings and New would be loving the fact View has lost their 10, if they lose this week gives them the buffer to drop a game and still feel calm.
such a close comp this year! You’d hope something like this dosent let down their campaign

considering he or tigers would be covering his own fees for school with his NRL deal I’m sure nsw 19s is the priority.
Apologies to the Riverview Nicotine Ninths. I am unable to attend your match and the entire day. It seems that my exhaustion after the Scots adventure has taken a toll on my immune system and I am on strict bed rest this weekend. I will be hoping once more for the passionate Joeys Old Boys to attend and that Riverview finally spends some money on security. In 2018.....2 security men doing laps. 2025....I would expect nothing more than a dozen officers from Chatswood command and some wise guys from the Pietraperzia family.

He has made the 20 man squad, but i am assuming the starting team will be finalised after our throughout their camp.

Yes
Yes I remember the McMullen selection ,politics in sport is and will always be a problem (more so in school age participants) I think everyone was surprised apart from selector/s who perpetrated this decision !
