Geez Bob, it made me wonder what soon-to-be adult aged kids I might have out there... Uni certainly throwing a lot of kids in at the deep end recently. One of the props yesterday, Jackson Stiel, is only 19. I thought both he and the kid in the second row were pretty good but I'm a former winger...

Waratahs A good in the first half and scrappy at the end following mass subs (a lot of Shute Shield players not usually with the Waratahs getting a game and came on – none would have helped their cause of impressing the coaching staff) with the Woodies getting the last 3 tries against the run of...

Squad members been saying that Jorgensen has been stepping in at training at first receiver a lot in the past 12 months whilst returning from knee and ankle injuries. The brains trust see his ability to transition 10/15 like Damian McKenzie in the future. Left field as it seems, I would not be...

Pretty useful ‘bomb squad’ of forwards to bring off the bench for the 1’s with the Kings front row and Doyle and Cleverley. Going to be >30 degrees on Tuesday which will test everyone as it’s been a very long time between games for most of them.

Kings - South Africa: Lots of big humans up on the high veldt of Parramatta, with a giant front row bomb squad in the 2nds ready and waiting. Shore - Scotland: Underperformance, followed by hope, followed by surprise overperformance, followed by unrealistically high expectations the following...

Well, Eddie has said all along that the player base was unfit and from all reports he has flogged them at training through this whole two-month campaign and the players have consequently entered each game somewhat fatigued. We can only hope that they will now ‘taper’ properly leading into the...

You can make your way next season to Belmore Oval to watch him play as a contracted player to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Can't go past 2018, First Joeys had the 'Miracle at Bellevue Hill' when Liam Scolari kicked (sliced, hacked?) the ball downfield for Vinnie Creagh to wait for the bounce and score on the bell to beat the Scots All-Stars of 2018. No one thought that finish could ever be topped ...... well, it...

Well done Riverview. They were just smarter and fitter. Dillon at 10 was just outstanding. In the first half Joeys power forward play all revolved around Doyle in attack and defence and it worked. In the second half they barely passed him the ball in his pod and had him defending out wide away...

:oops: Outrageous. Seriously, you couldn't make this stuff up. Rest in Peace for '23 Big J. You'll be missed. Looking forward to Joker Resurrection in '24

Jorgensen and Doyle first games back after months. Wow. Beast mode the both of them. Joeys a different team for sure.

Didn't we supposedly play a Springbok XV / A side last Saturday in Pretoria ......

100%. Let all the best schoolboys play in the Aust Schools championships. It still goes ahead these days anyway but has been massively devalued. The U18 two pathways ('schools' vs 'U18 the rest') can come together at the end of the year, rather than in the middle of the year, and form the wider...

Scots have not beaten Joeys in a 1st XV game in a trial or competition game since 2017.

True. Maybe better off playing GPS 1’s and 2’s against City and Country 18’s instead of ISA later this week in the future. White and Blue can play any of the other combined schools rep teams.

Plus NRL scouts. How will they be dressed? Are they easy to spot?

Correct.

As with previous years, it's a numbers game if you follow the form guide (or ladder this year). Breakdown won't be too dissimilar to this: Kings - 6 View - 3 Scots - 2 New - 2 Shore - 1 Joeys - 1 Follow the formula and insert names ;)

He and Oscar will play the last 4 games in term 3. Fun fact, they were also the two centres in Joeys basketball 1sts.

Joeys best breakdown pilferer on the sidelines unfortunately. They bet the house Doyle filling a lot of key roles this year and he then misses the first 6 rounds, then add to that Oscar J misses all but half a game. Joeys 2nds are undefeated so the issue isn’t depth, it’s just that no 1st XV...
