Anything is possible. All depends on who turns up on game day. Shore, could play as if they are playing in a GF. Like I said, all depends on who turns up to play on that day.

i think you are very flattering to Shore . Their supporters could hope so, so they have failed to show any real superiority in 4 games.

Sheck and Davies perhaps, Viliamu I would have to disagree. How many 1st XV game has Viliamu played? How many Waratahs U18 games has he played? Lavercombe has it all over Viliamu in every aspect of a loosehead. Kings front row would have to be the fittest in GPS.

I am a Kings supporter. I do not however just assume that Kings will win base on their past performance/stats. I wait for game day to see who turns up to play.

***EDIT
As mentioned before it all depends who turns up on the day. The majority assumed New would beat Kings last Thursday and what happened? Kings turned up to play.

watch joeys, scots, view until last 25 minutes of game, there’s a winning standard clearly evident, it’s just holding onto that gameplay that is the let down of Shore.

I can totally agree with this! Shore supporters will not be happy about the result on Saturday.

kings front row is significantly better with Hayden lavercmobe playing tahs u18 both this and last year while making aus u18, Smith also was in the same tahs team and has consistently performed at a high level. However sheck at full fitness is the best tight head prop in Australia which was clearly shown even overpowering Kingsley uys from the reds at scrum time. Both front rows are phenomenal but Bloomfield, smith and lavercombe are too dominate and are the fitness in the gps something that newington front row lacks

When Newington played Kings in trials, although Newington wasn't full strength they still looked much stronger at scrum time until Sheck came off, that front row was without Villiamu.

I get you are probably a Newington supporter. But need you to review their current form or at least their last game performance not #trial game performance. Also important that we have a non biased review of their performance. Viliamu I've said before, unfortunately, I believe last Thursday was his first 1st xv game since he last play at this level which was last year, match fitness not quite there yet but will come with time. He is not in my top 10 front rowers atm. Sheck? Now Yes, brilliant/powerful player but out all last year and now out again due to injuries. Why? I am only guessing its weight and fitness. He is a 17 year old carrying 120+kgs. Are we pushing these talented young props too early? To have a shoulder recon before turning 18 and to hurt it again. Sheck and those making decisions on his behalf needs to reassess his recovery program. Smith is the #1 hooker atm. He outplayed Anakin when they vs'd Newington. His lineout against New was probably his highest this year. I can't see anyone else challenging him. Bloomfield, he is the fittest TH atm. He can scrum and very explosive, but still need to improve in his game. He needs to apply pressure rather than sitting when defending. Ball carrying can be better. I believe Bloomfield will be heading to France next year. So it will be good for his game as a TH the French can train him.

Sorry Bloomfield is not going only Lemoto but France wants him.
