What exactly does it say? The young Colt hasn't been playing hooker this year. He has been converted to a prop and has been playing in that position all year. So the dispensation for Paice to be the backup hooker stands.

The evidence doesn't appear to support your assertion. Rugby Link shows that on Sat 12 May this year he started at Hooker for Souths Premier grade against GPS, arguably one of the strongest scrums in the competition. Clearly can still play Hooker and Prop and you would think if he could start at Hooker in Prems with no safety issue, he could manage being a reserve Hooker. Anyway, it is what it is. Bring on the finals.

Yourself & other moaners could embrace the fact that another top quality player taking part in our grass roots club competition & helping lift the standard for all. It's not like any of the other teams front rows are mugs & it's not like Souths don't already have a top notch hooker in Alex Casey. The decision is made embrace it & move on!
Also curious, where do you find the team lists with the benches?

My apologies. I forgot the one occasion that the coaching staff felt it may be a possibility to play the Colts prop as a hooker in Premier grade. The result unfortunately was a number of collapsed scrums resulting in a penalty try and a yellow card to one of the props. I am not placing all responsibility on the young hooker but I contend that the safety issue was shown up then and remains an issue.

You can find team lists with bench via match results on rugbylink.com.au
Don’t think that view is available on rugbylink app so don’t try to access it thru there
I certainly hope it’s not still an issue Warhorse.Rhys,the Colt has been named on the bench tomorrow.Fotuaika & Simeon are both great props but I’d be surprised to see them play a full 80 min.I’d suggest Souths will use their full bench of forwards in order to get across the line tomorrow.In my opinion from watching him this year & last year,he is more than up to the challenge of scrummaging at Premier Grade.

Did GPS lose every final they played in this weekend??
I hope they get through in 1sts.... my cents are on them!! Big scrum!!
Very happy the depth at my Nest is shining through. Happy to see so many new faces performing for the jersey.
Ballymore is a great place to be around this time of year.
I wish it could be used more often!!
If we go to 2 & 1/2 rounds next year, maybe every club could get their day in the sun on the big stage??

I sense there is a bit of reverse psychology there TJP!!!
Two great games of rugby.
The two things relating to the preliminary finalists from yesterday:
- The GPS scrum was very impressive;
- I don't know why but the Tigers seem to lift at finals time.
I wouldn't be surprised if this finals series is the last for a few of the Tigers - Ready (Western Force), Gunn(??), Barker(Retirement)

Some great games on the weekend.
First grade major semi was probably the most competitive and complete skills seen this year. Close, fast and great to see.
The second grade major was also a great game. West’s threw everything at Brothers and the level of skill and lack of errors was a testament to both teams and their coaches. Brothers just a little too skilled (probably the experience in the backs) and took the game in a grinding affair. Probably the most “perfect” game of the weekend(that I saw) in terms of strategy and execution.
There were two Colts games that took the eye as well. The one’s game was another good game; whilst the prem grade Colts from brothers were all the talk I thought they weren’t as prominent as people expected. Good game, again from west’s, but brothers just ground out the win in the second half.
Special mention of the Colts 2 game where brothers won 71-5. Didn’t see the game, but those who were there said it was quite a phenomenon.
More good footy this weekend.

Was interesting to see that Uni had 5 players from last years colts grand final side start on Sunday.
With another 1.5 on the bench (hocko was a colt but played for prems in the gf)
Such a young side they did so well to hang on while gps threw the kitchen sink at them.

The Premier Grade Minor Semi was interesting too. It was a keenly contested battle between two evenly matched sides. (Possibly Easts and Souths aren't quite as good as Uni & GPS.) One wonders whether the turning point in the game was when Quade chose to cross kick to the winger who unfortunately fell over the dead ball line as he grounded the ball from a penalty to the right of the posts in about the 70th minute. For me that sums up Quade's whole career Rocks or Diamonds its high risk or higher return stuff - even though it didn't come off on this occasion it showed the rugby genius of the man. Well done to him for what he added to QPR this season.
