There are a lot of players that would be likely for this list. Prior 1, Massey 7 / backrow, don't forget Tombs, Minto, Hart and Palmisani. Plus there are other contenders like Artonvic (spelling??) for 2 row. and there will be others I haven't even thought of. I could imagine totally different iterations to the team above, lot's of players injured this year and others growing quite a bit. Offseason will count for a lot.
PREDICTION FOR JOEYS 1ST XV 2024
Think that Gattas would be more likely to play as a flanker than prop as he has played flanker before. Think that he would be better than a 4th player as he is on of the gen blue 16 hookers and is a very good player with a good throw as well.
They should have kept those jerseys
I would be moving Ontini to 10 every day of the week !
Shore will run mid table
Probably one of the weaker Joeys teams we have seen in a while.
History will say 70% of the kids in the 13A will play 1StXV rugby. Kids grow/ don’t grow develop new kids come in years 9/10 and 11 so many factors can change.
I highly doubt it's that High. Probably more likely to be 40-50%
Really sums up Shores season. Close to the line but cant break it.
I think that it is between South Africa, Ireland and France. No teams are really on there level but do think that Australia could be a real dark horse With the draw that they have.
Scots - for sure.
You can't buy the World cup unfortunately.
Or a GPS championship it seems.
Well it happened this year, so I guess you can.
I think it's likely Max Soepano will move into 10 and the backline will almost be the exact same as last year. There is no need to move Onitoni closer to the ball when you have Soepano who is also great and will be able to tear it open for the Centres.
