Have been informed that Viliamu has injured his ankle. Looks like a long road to recovery with plans to be back post-first round of fixtures.Jarryd King was 16s Australian Fullback last yea,r expect him to have a spot in the backline. Iliyaz Viliamu likely starts also.
Unless he is playing Jersey Flegg (u21's) or NSW Cup for Wests, he should be able to play all GPS games for Newington.If I am right Heamasi Makasini has quite a few league commitments with the west tigers. Would these commitments clash with his service in GPS with Newington like the late Sua'ali'i?
thoughts and/or anyone else who is tied up with League this year?

Interesting 15 you got there. What about Henry Baxter (year 10). Hes coming in at a wopping 94kg and is looking scary in that Hooker position. IN MY OPINION, much better option than Garner.Predicted Shore 1st XV
1. Armati (2nd XV last season, 4 games in 1st XV)
2. Garner (2nd XV last season)
3. Hamilton (New to the school)
4. Galligan (2nd XV, callup for GPS White)
5. Shadforth (3rd XV Premiers)
6. Sidwell (2nd XV/16A's, Presidents GPS team)
7. Stock (2nd XV (c), countless callups for the 1st XV)
8. Clout (1st XV Premiers)
9. Greig (2nd XV last season)
10. Ritchie (Until Bassingthwaite Return) (3rd XV Premiers) (Bassingthwaite, GPS 1st XV, Wallaby U18, the list goes on...)
11. Mott (3rd XV Premiers)
12. Wendt (1st XV squad until injured)
13. Francis (1st XV Premiers)
14. Hockey (2nd XV)
15. Callaghan (1st XV Premiers, GPS 1st XV, Aussie Schoolboys, Aussie Sevens, list goes on...)

Have heard from various sources that it is looking like Makasini will be missing this season due to the tigers being overly impressed with him training in the top 30 over the off season. If this is true will be a massive loss for Newington.I doubt that the Tigers make an 18 year old that's still in school play first grade. Just because he had a pre-season with the top squad, does not mean he's made it.
Buddy Lanthams off season program is admirable...EARLY SEASON PREDICTION:
I feel as if Shore and Scots have already picked up some bad luck in their summer sports and I believe it will carry throughout the whole season. A couple of arrogant acts (send-offs) which were reported to the GPS staff could actually see the boys miss some of their training such as Tom Fuzes. Furthermore, I do think a couple of boys from underdog schools will have their revenge this year such as Buddy Latham (N), and also Angus Teseiro (R) as they rip into their co-curriculars (Debating and Chess club).
Glazer out.
Is Wendt back and confirmed as fully fit? Or is there still risk of injury and will he be placed carefully in the squad with minimal game time?Predicted Shore 1st XV
