I joined a number of Shore boys on their bye weekend with the intention of having a close look at Kings and Joeys in full flight following both sides giving us a touch up back in May.
we walked out with our homework complete and a valuable lesson in the virtues of self belief.
Fair Point. My mischievous comment is one that is well held outside the New community, and I would challenge the New associates to "name and shame" their past ex-1st XV successes to put this misconception to rest. I am sure that there will be many once we start counting.
Well, you Shorely did do your homework & scored A+, can you enlighten us on what your game plan was, i.e. attack the left hand side?
i still expect newington to be strong and win it .. yes the house will be on it.
One of the Vlahos brothers to moove to inside .. they wont miss apo as much alex is a very very strong player with probably a bigger future.
-----------I agree. Players backing up next year are both props, one lock, both flankers, fly half, outside centre and both wingers. The under 16's include 5 NSW reps including both props. Young Vlahos is my tip to move from wing to inside centre - he's built like the Hulk and would play a similar style to Apo. Then there is talent like Pennington, Ratcliff and Mone who will step up. And then you've got the undefeated 15A team - one or two of them should step up. Winning the comp is never easy but New have the cattle to have a good shot at it.
Shore 2nds and 3rd 2010 had a good mix of year 11 real talent. They will experience their best season since James Packer locked for the 4th XV if the rowing boys are allowed to spread their talents and Merro will captain at 9.
Kings are on the usual spending spree with Country & NSW 15's number 9 Rory Davis being helicoptered in with a 75% scholarship, I pitty the Kings year 9/10 and 11 halves as Steven James will need a return on his investment and young Rory to go straight to 1sts after 2 trials.
Joeys year 12 2011 are a soft crew and hence the catholics will be in a building phase but with some real talent in 16's and 15's to impress.
Newington to press again but they will miss Apo.
Scots and Grammar to share the spoils of the spoon
Do you know who will be back from the 1st & 2nds?
Didn't James Packer go to Cranbrook?
seriuosly I think u are highly underestimating the joeys sides especially since 2nds were undefeated champions
Your gig Rugbygirl. Run with it.
How many are back next year for 2011 1st XV?
