I am just commenting on what I think will happen, not what should. Robertson has been dropped to the 2nd XV earlier this season, and I doubt that they will put a GPS 3XV player down into the seconds. Another option is they put Hockey down, leaving Wendt with D’Almeida on the wing but I think that would be just as silly. Another other option is giving D’Almeida a run for the 2nds upon returning from injury, and they will work it out from there.

The fact is there is 1 too many 1st XV level backs, which is a bit of a dilemma.

If you think Robertson should sit tight (I agree for the most part), what arrangement do you think Shore should go with?

Roberstons quite small. Put him in 9.

Probably going to be an unpopular opinion to all of you but this is how I would put it.

9. Greig
10. Bassingthwaite
11. Hockey
12. Robertson
13. Francis
14. Dalmeida
15. Callaghan

Based off performance NOT reputation. Wendt still deserves to be there but I don’t know how you would squeeze him in. Regardless I doubt they will drop him due to him making GPS 3s. I think he’s a great player and will likely step it up for the last 4 games when the reinforcements come back. This will boost his confidence and be able to play much better footy.

Has Robertson been elevated to GPS 3's? All the GPS team lists I've seen there is no mention of him.

Agree - Alas let’s see if they return to the full health to play this backline. Sadly in the forwards would think a few won’t be back due to later injuries or ones that are season ending.

What schools are in CHS?

Every single NSW High School that plays rugby.
In my day CHS had many players to chose from and would beat the AAGPS teams often.

Completely agree with this wisemaan. I think Robertson has been very good this year and has earnt the No.12 jersey. He’ll make a solid push for Captain at Shore next season. Hopefully this backline can get some wins on the board for Shore.
