If Lakehm has repeated do you think he will play prop, number 8 or inside centre? Grammar have also picked up a couple of new guys who I have seen walking around school. Both QLD rugby league representatives, one is a loose forward and the other and outside back. Not sure on there names. The Year 12s also have 6 guys who played QLD U16s last year- Fergus Halliday, Dalton Cox, Trey Kemp, Dan Forsyth, Stuart McReight and Matt Marsden, as well as guys like Pat Morrey and Zac Laud who played key roles in last years premiership. I wouldn't write off Grammar yet, I mean last year they were predicted to come 5th or 6th.
Honestly whats the point of that speculation? you could make the same case for any star player from any other school.
"If jack tuttle repeated, would he play 12 again?"
"If jonah placid repeated, would he play TGS into a podium spot"
"If junior fakosilea played at BBC/any other GPS school with money would he make as big an impact as last year before (I believe?) his season ending injury before the BGS game?" and
"If cornelson/greene/birch/lakehm/fatseas/blackhurst/anderson/muller/gilbert/burke/wenck/radford/starr-thomas/any other senior from the 2012 class repeated would they play their original position?"
We could talk all day in if and buts, but whats the point really? just a waste of time.
And say all you like about grammar's grade 11 players from last year, the fact is that having props, wingers and flankers repeating will not and can not replace playmakers like Greene, Birch, and Cornelson. Those guys could make magic happen, as you can tell by the several lucky escapes we had against pretty much everybody.
I admire your optisimism, and im sorry to burst your bubble, but its ultimately plain and simple naievity.
Sorry for being harsh, im in a grumpy mood and useless optimism is irritating me at the moment
