I wouldn't think that it is one or the other (unless they have another tight head coming into opens??). My guess based on last year that they will continue in their same positions for school.
yes it astounds me how boarding schools only allowed.No day boys allowed at Tahland...
2006Shore winning the Firsts and Thirds in 2024 made for a very successful year. When was the last time Shore won a coupla major premierships in the same year?
Could someone elaborate on this please as I am confused by this statement ?yes it astounds me how boarding schools only allowed.
Let's kick off 1stXV ladder predictions:Are there any trials confirmed
ahhh classic mateAny updated predicted 1's and 2's teams?
Very Strange take.... considering kings have only lost too joeys from my understanding twice since 2018.Joeys could take the number one spot over Kings for several key reasons:
While Kings may have a strong, talented team, Joeys’ overall squad depth, fitness, and proven game plan could give them the edge by the final rounds of the GPS season. Plus kings just have no tikka.
- Unmatched Depth & Squad Depth – Joeys consistently produces deep squads, and with a 10-round competition, their ability to cover injuries could be superior to Kings. Their 2nd XV is often as strong as some schools' 1st XV, ensuring high competition for spots and strong replacements when injuries hit.
- Superior Fitness & Conditioning – Joeys' high-paced, relentless style of rugby is built on elite fitness levels. Over a long season, this could give them the edge in the final rounds when other teams are fatigued.
- Game Plan & Structure – Joeys’ traditional running rugby and structured attack have been refined over years. They thrive in fast ball movement, set-piece dominance, and an aggressive defensive system, which can outmatch Kings' more forward-heavy approach.
- Proven GPS Success – Joeys has a history of performing under pressure and securing tight wins, particularly in long competitions. Their coaching staff is experienced in getting the most out of their squads when it matters most.
