Without addressing any other pros/cons of the shore side, I want to address the front row.

I counted 4+ penalties given away by Shore off scrums, and I am sure there was more. The size difference compared to the Barker front row was obvious once they stood side by side, and even more obvious in the scrums and malls.

I am going to be harsh - but I think fair… Green must go, the hooker must go (I don’t have a name).
For me, Jarrett proved his worth in this game and has solidified his position. This creates a juggle for the other prop position - between Armati and Hamilton. Both incredible players that both deserve the position, and have that size boost they need - especially with Armati.

Armstrong being out for the year likely not helping the situation either.

Yeah a lot of the team who gave Waverley 3rds a smacking were moved to the 4ths which suggests some good depth - after the reserves were released from the higher teams. 4ths gave Barker a 60+ point pounding as well which suggest some depth in the middle grades.

U16s - does it provide much colour two years on for Opens? With fellas developing, injuries new joiners and the year below playing in Opens as well.

The U16’s in 2023 when very few from the schools played up in opens (maybe joeys had a couple and view). The table below: View on top of both A/B’s and the rest super close except New’s B and Kings dominated U15’s.

When teams announced would be good to see where they came through the ranks! wonder if any moved from B’s or below to 1s! I am sure there are a few.

In 2023 Joeys U16 had 5 play in opens and 3 of the best forwards miss the entire season or close to it with injury.
