Re joeys v oakhill. Yes oakhill was the better side on the day but there is a lot of improvement in joeys. As one keen observer said between the firsts and seconds there is a strong xv. Joeys lacked speed and finishing power out wide and there need to be some changes to the pack. An earlier post mentioned Phillips, grant, Margan as likely promotions I'd add jake finanne to that too he needs to be in the firsts front row.
Why change when it was the first real hit out with a team with 7 "new" players who are considered best in their respective positions. Let's see how they perform vs Newington - who will also be testing combinations (like all other GPS schools). I will concede that Grant on wing may provide a bit of X factor - he is small but elusive.
It is a long season so there will be lots of movement due to injury/sickness etc.
