Anybody know if the schedule has been released yet. If not any idea when it will be?

I believe Kings went on a European tour over the summer. I imagine they would go on tour somewhere else again.

IMHO, putting Kings that far down and even not in first is criminal. Joeys & Kings are clear favourites, but personally I believe the young Kings side (1sts & 2nds) of this year will fill the boots and some of their predecessors in 2025.
I do agree with the position of Scots & Newington once Kings is in 1 or 2.

Agree Here - The young Kings boys this year have proven that next year they will be a team to beat.

4. Tom Bowman (Scots 1994)
5. Dean Mumm (Kings 2002)
6. Colin Windon (Grammar 1939 - who the 3rd XV premiership shield is named after)
7. Phil Waugh (Shore 1997)
8. Wycliff Palu (Newington 2000 - someone please double check both the school and the year, I'm pretty sure my knowledge serves me well but the internet says otherwise)

10. Kurtley Beale (Joeys 2006 - finished underage I beleive) / Scott Bowen (Newington 1990)

14. Joseph Suali'i (Kings 2021 - played professional before he even finished school)

Fair call. I'll own that one. Consider it shut down.

I'm leaning towards more likely the 10 for the 1st or 2nd XV
Newitonga
Larry Dwyer (12)
which ones? This list is more-so based on post school rugby, however rugby ability as a schoolboy is definitely accounted for (for most players that is - as some in this list were schoolboys long before my time, and so I would have no idea of their rugby ability at school).

I spot 3 that didn’t, Young, Kearns and Farr-Jones. How this list can omit Tony Daly and Steve Williams is beyond me.

You can add in Marshall Le Maitre (2024 Shore 1st XV captain)
There's a thread for that

EDIT: I'M GOING TO STICKY THIS THREAD AS IT'S A GREAT ONE DURING THIS TIME [MODS]. I don't know if this should be in the Grassroots section or here, but since bugger all forum members visit Grassroots, and there is a lull in rugby of interest to most members - and it pertains partly to the...

That is what I thought. Very questionable decision to put someone that young in a position he has never played before in such a high level of schoolboy footy. I know it is the wing and is often considered the weaker position but there are some big boys in 2nds Comp and I do not think Hannon is ready for stepping out in the new position. If he was to play seconds, they need to use his strengths either at 10 or 15 and he could strive.

Definitely, I think it was a bit strange to have him on the wing. Personally I think i'd put him in the #15 or the #10 jersey. His skill is next level ( as demonstrated in the 15s comp) and would be greatly wasted on the wing.
